    Is this just a broken clutch cable...or worse?

    Hissin, so you are confirming that the fork will swing to the rear freely after the cable goes? milewsky80 - thanks for the suggestion, but the quad kit went in about 8 years ago :nice:

    Is this just a broken clutch cable...or worse?

    My clutch had been feeling notchy and was stretching out, it snapped today. I checked underneath and verified the broken cable. What I could not recall though was whether it was right that the clutch fork swung easily toward the rear of the car. I had not remembered there being any play last...

    Does a "ping" sound anythinglike a metalic whistle?

    Thanks for the great descriptions guys, dealing with sounds can be rough when translating into words. I guess I just ran into a wicked coincidence that the sound came up while adjusting the timing.

    Does a "ping" sound anythinglike a metalic whistle?

    I've been advancing my timing and listening for a ping. i just went out and when I got on the gas there was kind of a high pitched whistle. I backed off the gas and it went away. Is that what a ping sounds like or is it more likely an intake leak or something?

    Electrical gurus, I need wiring help on my AirRide system...

    What up Hissin, long time no chat.. Anyway, help me out here..I've built engines and re-built suspensions over and over but I have a very low level of knowledge when it comes to the vehicles electronics. Would you mind breaking down what you mean by soldering behind the fuse panel? Meaning...

    Electrical gurus, I need wiring help on my AirRide system...

    I am installing some air springs and part of the install requires that I run a wires from the ECU to the ignition (12v only when key is on), and illumination (12v only when lights are on - for dimming guages). There's also a constant 12v and ground but I can figure that out. I don't want to do...

    Guys w/ Tokico D-spec, I got questions plz hlp..

    That's more helpful feedback. They actually do sound a good deal like my illuminas. I'm getting the impression that one of the big advantages of the d-spec is the wide ends of the spectrum: excessively soft for drag racing and really firm for drifting. Since I spend my time on the street, I'm...

    Guys w/ Tokico D-spec, I got questions plz hlp..

    that's helpful information b/c what I'm really trying to determine is if its worth the jack to ditch my current setup for the d-specs. Are there any "clicks" or anything to let you know exactly where the partial turn points are? Also, Is there any indicator that tells you how many clicks you...

    Guys w/ Tokico D-spec, I got questions plz hlp..

    I have a 94 GT but not many of those guys seem to have the d-spec and it seems more prevalent here. I'm going to an Air Ride suspension and I'm trying to decide if I should replace my failed Tokico Illumina strut or go ahead and get D-spec at all fours. I'm trying to grasp how much I'd...

    Has anyone seen the homemade Mach 3 in Modified Mustangs mag? Incredible!!!

    I'm not real big on the mag but I had to check it out when I saw the Mach3 on the cover...dude MADE ONE! The trick is that he improved on Ford design a bit and he built it on a SN95 IRS chasis..it is so beutiful it makes me feel proud by association. I'll probably go tomorrow and buy it so I...

    Coilover instability, any ideas on how to improved this setup? Diagram included =>

    I've had this set up for months but it’s been noisy lately and it got me thinking about how unstable it seems. I think ideally, the cap on top of the spring would interface with the bottom of the cars chassis. The problem with that would be that it would set in the 3-4" hole in the strut tower...

    2nd opinion plz..this would work for testing brakes right?

    I have a problem with my brakes where as I am stopping (easy braking) and easing pressure off the pedal, I feel a little brake slip. A mechanic I know suggested that it might be a problem with the ABS system and that the hydraulic control unit might be pulling fluid pressure from one or more or...

    Is this a bad install or just a cheap clutch?

    well, live and learn I guess... Long story short, I had the guys install the dowels and torque everything down by hand to spec and the vibration was still there. After that, based on the shop owner's recommendation, I let them machine the flywheel and reinstall, and everything was fine. The...

    Is this a bad install or just a cheap clutch?

    I did pay with credit card though I must admit I'm not sure about the process of disputing a charge. They have the car now and I trust the the owner is going to try to make it right, I just don't think that he believes hand torquing vs air guns is as critical as I do. If I get it back and...

    Is this a bad install or just a cheap clutch?

    You gotta hear this... Okay, so I took the car back today b/c I realized that the vibration was happening even when reving in neutral. It is there throughout but just gets worse at the rpms go up. When I got there the owner was not there. People were nice until the mechanic got back from...

    Is this a bad install or just a cheap clutch?

    oh boy, I hope I didn't waste $300 on installing the wrong flywheel... remind me what is the stock balance for our engines.. I thought it was 50. I had CHP balance mine to whatever stock was and I used my old balancer (non-stock) and flywheel on the new engine for nearly 2K with no...
