    Radiator leak

    Depending on the size of the hole, you could go to autozone or somewhere and get a bottle of radiator stop leak. I have used it before in a pinch and actually worked.

    Proform Fan Blade Switch?

    Blades just arrived today. They match up beautifully. Here's the tip of the day- if you have a Proform electric fan and your blades are broken, you can indeed buy the 15" Flex-A-Lite replacement electric fan blade and put them on. $30 from Summit. Good thing to if your happen to find one in the...

    motor tick

    Depending on where you live you may have to run a heavier weight oil as Shaker was saying. Here in Hawaii I run 20W50 Castrol and add a quart of marvel mystery oil. I love this product.

    Fox Box

    If they are 24# they should be blue. And it depends on who makes your mass air unit as to what size it is and what for. For instance my C&L MAF is 76 mm and calibrated for 24# injectors.Granatelli makes a 75mm MAF for 24# inj, and the cobra MAF is a 70mm for the 24# inj.

    intake choice

    Depends on hoe big you want the engine in the future. I myself would have went stright for the aluminum head package.

    Fox Box

    Not really. Your Mass Air unit is changed to recalibrate for larger fuel injectors. Not throttle body changes.

    clearance issues

    Might have to trim a little on the inner fender. I have 03 Cobra style wheels on mine and had to add 1 1/4" spacers. Mine was actually rubbing on the A Arm. My adise to you is to go with a 250/40 R17. I am running Falken B451's at a 245/40 R17 and they seem a little narrow for the 9" wheel.

    Starter with a mind of it's own!!!!!!

    I think first off I am going to trace all the wiring. If that don't produce anything, I might replace my soledoid anyways. It's not be acting right also, so that may just be the culprit. Thanks for the input. Feel free to add anything else!

    Hmm, check out my interesting plug

    Sounds like you have your work cut out for you checking out the rest of the car before something major happens due to a loose bolt. Good Luck

    Hmm, check out my interesting plug

    Probably just a fluke experience. Not something to happen on a regular basis. The crush ring doesn't look that bad. Probably just missed getting good torque on it. That is a hard plug to get into.

    Wierd Problem with new tires.

    Sounds stupid, but some makers put a preservitive spray on the tire to keep up a longer shelf life. More you drive on them ( or burn it a few times ) they will wear in. For better traction.

    Starting Problems

    When it turns over, there is no problem starting. It just acts like it isn't getting enough juice to turn it so it clicks once and kills the system until you back the key off.

    Are Proform and Flex-A-Lite interchangable?

    Being that the proform had no balance to it, was just rivited onto the fan motor, I think as long as the mounting platform off the fan motor is the same I'll be good to go.
