    Synthetic OIL

    They better provide the oil through out the entire warrenty period free of charge or else they can't 'require' any specific brand. So saith da law. Oh yeah, one other thing.... multi-viscosity oil does not get thicker as it heats up. It just doesn't thin out like a single-viscosity oil does...

    Wheel/rim/front end problemo

    A front wheel out of balance will normally cause the steering wheel to pulsate back and forth. A rear wheel will give you a vibration you can feel in the seat of your pants. In both cases the pulsation or vibration will normally be felt at certain speeds and disappear above or below that speed...

    QA-1 coilover ?

    I've been researching coil-overs for 6 mths. Everything I've read says noise is most likely traced to poor installation (not getting the right spacers or lube in the top bearing mount) or a lower quality product. It's a rare person with Maximum Motorsports or Greigs(sp) coil-overs that complain...

    Changing the KB's oil

    I don't know where you guys are getting your information,:shrug:..... KB says to change the oil in their blower every 12,000 miles. It takes straight 50wt synthetic, not 5w50. Royal Purple is the only straight 50wt synthetic I've found so far. You can suck the old stuff out the fill plug...

    Upgrading to Cobra Calibers and rotors

    Look at the picture the original poster put up. The bracket is the part with the holes showing below the caliper, and is part of the caliper package. As long as you buy a "Cobra, Bullit, Mach 1" caliper it's already spaced out farther to fit the 13" rotor.

    Spring Rates

    wms and stick are right. Stock spring rates: Front - 450 lbs/in Rear - 210 lbs/in The higher the spring rate the stiffer the spring ie: a 700 lb/in spring is stiffer than a 450 lb/in spring. Stick also mentioned shock/strut rates. The shock/strut must be...

    13" rear brake issues

    It's my understanding the 13", vented rotor is thicker than the stock, solid (non-vented), 10". The Cobra pads are thinner to compensate for the thicker Cobra rotor. Installing Cobra pads will probably solve your problem.

    Spring Question for Convertibles...

    I've attached a doc showing some info I picked up off the net. There is a difference between the "C" and "G" springs. It's my understanding the FRPP springs are supplied by Eibach. Some have reported their FRPP springs even come in an Eibach box. Hope this helps.

    HELP! Are my injectors to small for the boost I'm running?

    I'm running 10lbs of boost on my KB and my tunner recommended and installed 42lb injectors. Also, watch that A/F! Anything over 13:1 at WOT you're playing with fire. I have mine tuned to 12.5:1 through otu the rev range.

    o/d problem...please help me out here!!

    Are you sure it's shifting into o/d or are you feeling the converter locking up? It definately shouldn't be going into o/d if you've got it buttoned off, somethings broke. If it's the converter locking up a tuner can turn it off but I wouldn't.

    why remove underdrive pulleys when supercharging?

    :stupid: Heat is the enemy of an SC'd motor. It causes DETONATION. Very very very bad. Besides that blower is going to more then make up for the little 2-4 hp those pulleys get you. Go back to stock.

    4 Bolt or 3 Bolt Camber Plates?

    Do you need the caster/chamber plates? You said your car is lowered. Have you taken it in for an alignment? Could they get it to spec without the plates? If they did then you don't need the plates, unless you want to increase the caster over stock spec to enhance straight line tracking.
