    I'm bringing it back!

    I contend that s-net would still be going strong, if the nazi-mod-ism hadn't driven everyone away to other sites... :mad: We can try to bring the membership/fellowship back but if the same problem still exists, the effort will end before it begins... :notnice: .

    Sn95 5 lug conversion on 89 brake problems help

    Well it's a little more of a longshot, but if youre brakes (the calipers anyhow) came from a used source / junkyard then the pistons and/or the bores may be coroded or gummed up with whatnot. (they will want to hang up and drag, instead of relaxing *slightly* when the pedal is released) You...

    My current build...438 clevor/70 fastback.

    They aren't toooo bad to do. Just remember a couple things (imho) - forget all that equal length crap, the 1-2% that you lose is NOT worth the headache :nonono: - tack welds are your friend... they are easy to dust off and re-do if it doesn't fit quite right :nice: - dont forget once the...

    Warming up a cold engine without a block heater

    notch93 and thor both had good ideas, follow their advice. Other than whats already been said, another potential "trick" my pops taught me is use a "trouble light"/"garage light" in the engine compartment... not sure about the style of parking garage you're in, if it's got enclosed walls...

    need help with suspension

    I put the Maximum Motorsports "road and track" kit on my lx, about 8-10 years ago and have always been very happy with the quality of manufacture, balance and overall performance of the car. It is a corner carver set-up however... still doesn't leave the line all that great, but when the road...

    Options - Rear Brakes for 15" Wheels

    Ya know, you don't really need big brakes on the rear. The rears only account for 20-30% of your braking force... so excluding visual impact, having big rear brakes isn't all that usefull. (more hastle than it's worth...) So as long as they're good enough to hold the car on a hill, that's...

    New Hood Hinges Stiff As Crap---HELP!!!

    Try grease/good penetrating oil and bench cycle. Remove em and go prop rod. Remove em and go gas shock. (a rear hatch on a 87-93 5.0 is *about* the same weight as a steel hood on a early stang) Put em in the oven on "clean". (usually about 550f) but this is hit or miss, it can do...

    My current build...438 clevor/70 fastback.

    I hadn't seen a late model booster/mc used before. Any problems with adapting / linkage / etc? Looks like it fits just right. The more I look at the thing, the more jealous I get... :rlaugh: :flag: Dave
