    Project Bolt-On goes 11.84@116!!!

    hmm if the stock PP is good into the low 10's then is there a point to the centerforce DF 9" i have in my garage for our 2.3's as this replaces both the disk and PP? are there any advantages/dissadvantages to running this pp over the stock one? victor

    KYB GR-2s

    the gr2's are KYB's standard stock replacement shocks, so the only performance gain you will see is the stiffer feeling over the worn out factory ones. Im not saying they are bad, im just saying dont get ripped on price for these cause they are just standard stock replacement pieces. and...

    best head?

    Red: yeah its been a while, still keeping things in good order i see. how have you been? and well i definately need to stay with whatever lowers compression as i have TRW's (not dished) so my ratio is going to be around 8.5 - 9 and thats no good for a turbo setup, so off i go to find a turbo...

    SVT Contour Seats?

    i couldnt imagine it to be too difficult as all it really needs is power and ground, just find an electrical diagram for a 98 svt contour and see what wire is the constant 12V, switched 12V and ground, there might be more wires but you wont need em cause they are probaby for sensors that...

    motor problem
