    I have the standard Twisted Wedges with the same plugs and I'm running the gap at .54 with no problems so far.

    How well can a fox be made to handle?

    With the suspension in my Sig I have stayed with Sportbikes in the twisties. It completely changed my car. But, another thing you have to consider is weight and weight distribution.

    Questions about steering racks and bushings

    Yeah you have to disconnect the steering shaft to pull the steering rack out far enough to removed the rubber bushing in the backside of the rack. I wouldn't suggest offset rack bushings to correct bumpsteer, and Maximum Motorsports doesn't suggest them either. Like others have said, if you...

    aluminum steering rack bushings

    I have them. They added no vibration whatsoever. I also have a flaming river solid steering shaft, which also added no vibration. The main purpose of the aluminum bushings is to move the steering rack closer to the K member. The other purpose is to ditch the stock rubber bushings which allow...

    crank key/timing gear fitment

    Even if it doesn't fill the entire groove up and down I don't see it being a problem as long as it fills it side to side. When you buy a new Harmonic Balancer they usually come with a new key, if that helps.

    Question regarding timing cover

    I just pulled all of the same crap off. My timing cover has the same notch. It's supposed to be there, not sure why though. I just put a little extra Permatex there, haven't had any leaks.

    Smog Delete And plugging PCV

    Plug the PCV when doing a smog delete? For what? The PCV and the smog pump are two different systems. You can delete your smog pump and keep your PCV system.

    New cooling system

    Yeah, I replaced the cap already. I checked Autozone, a 3 core brass radiator is $200, the Griffin is $190. For a whopping savings of... -$10! I think I'll get the Griffin.

    New cooling system

    Yeah you're right. I'm looking for a reason to rip off the heads, although I can't afford to replace them with better ones right now. I'll work on it tomorrow and see what I can come up with. Will over-filling the coolant reservoir have any ill effects other than the extra coolant spilling...

    New cooling system

    Decided to upgrade the stock cooling system. Been having a little trouble lately with my temp and it's either the thermostat (1 month old Mr Gasket 180*), the radiator (14 yo stocker), the clutch fan (1 year old Autozone part), an air pocket in the engine, or I have a blown head gasket...

    Temperature rises quickly after accelarating...

    Fan clutch is 6 months old. New belt. I'm going to retard the timing a degree and add 1 PSI of fuel pressure. I heard a slight ping this morning.

    Temperature rises quickly after accelarating...

    I have a weird cooling problem. I can let me car idle for hours and it will stay real cool. I can drive around city street and in traffic and it stays below or at half. As soon as I get on the interstate and cruise at a reasonable constant speed, it goes up to 3/4's. Isn't this backwards...

    Roush Insurance Question

    The VIN shows it as an LX for the 93 and older years. Not sure about the 94 and up. I pay the same insurance as I would if it were an LX. I might get screwed if it ever gets stolen though. I've been meaning to ask the Ins. company, but I don't want the insurance to go up either. :shrug:

    Running Without Thermostat...?

    If you car runs hot with a 180 then there is another problem in your cooling system somewhere. Or your in an extremely hot climate.
