    Clutch Replacement

    Also, one more thing. This steal bearing retainer business is really confusing me. I know I absolutely need to put it on too, because the aluminum one is all gouged into...it looks like someone clamped a pair of big vice grips on the outside and just kept turning them...really bad. Anway...

    Clutch Replacement

    Alright I'm bringing this thread back from the junkyard. We're doing the clutch ourself, finally, and we started on it Friday afternoon. It's Saturday night now, and we've got everything disassembled and the only thing holding us back now is a flywheel resurface/replacement. We were...

    Timing set - Just making sure

    Also, if you can, explain to me what pinging sounds like and when I should expect it. I'm running 90oct gas right now and I don't hear anything unusual, but then again...I don't know what to expect. Let me know.

    Timing set - Just making sure

    Well I adjusted the ignition timing this afternoon. I loosened the hold-down bolt before checking to see what the timing was set at previously, so I rotated the distributor before I realized what I was doing. Anyway, I put the timing at what I think is 14º BTC from the #1 spark wire, correct...

    quick audio help needed

    I'm happy with my new Rockford setup. :shrug: There's a pic in my profile directory. How so? I put a lot of time into my install, but I don't know how it would be any different than anything else...

    Dual 8" Subwoofer Box

    Well I ended up getting the 10" Rockford and a 350w amp. It punches really hard, and I don't think I could be happier with it. Also, I got an MDF box that's designed to go behind a pickup truck seat, so the wedge shape would lay down on its back and fit under that cargo cover. I also like...

    Could it be a busted tranny mount?

    Whats the fix for a to soft worn out driver seat?

    Speaking of this, does anyone know how to restore the...color...of the seats? My black seats look more dark gray than they do black, and I want to make them look a "deeper" black, so to speak. I don't know if they were like this all the time, or if they are just aging, dusty, or what...

    Stripped stop bolts

    How much heat does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? Do I need a big ass torch or can I hold a lighter up to it for like 10 minutes? :p

    Stripped stop bolts

    I bought a used Pro 5.0 shifter a couple months ago. Well the previous owner adjusted the stop bolts to fit his T5...like he should...but it doesn't quite fit mine. The 2-4 bolt is fine, but the 1-3 bolt is a little too far out, and doesn't stop anything; it's useless. I didn't really worry...

    rpm gage stuck on 4,000

    Yeah mine would go to 0 when the car was off. It would go above 3k when I revved it that high, but it wouldnt go below 3k when the car was on. It didn't take that long, it was worth it.

    rpm gage stuck on 4,000

    I had a similar problem a while ago. Mine was stuck at 3k, and someone suggested I take out the tach and re-solder all the connections on the back and any that look discolored. It worked for me, but is a pain to remove all the dash panels to get to.

    Dual 8" Subwoofer Box

    Hmm I think I might go with the 10" version of the HX2 I posted above...It's a pretty old model, but it seems like it was top of the line back in the day and everything I've read about it so far has been pretty good. It's rated at 500w RMS at 4ohm x 2 voice coil, so would a mono amp that runs...

    Dual 8" Subwoofer Box

    Now I've been thinking I'd just go with one 8" driver. It seems skimpy, but I figure if I get a good sub along with a quality box, It'd be enough for me. I don't want to be heard 10 blocks away, that's not important to me. With that being said, what about this one... Rockford HX2...

    Dual 8" Subwoofer Box

    Subwoofer - Update: 10" Bought I've been thinking about buying a pair of Rockford Fosgate RFP3208 HE2 8" subs to put in the hatch, but I can't find a dual 8" box anywhere to fit my application. First of all, what do you think about Rockford equipment? Second of all, would something along the...

    T5 whining/howling?

    Mine only has a whine in 3rd gear @3000+. I wish it had a whine in all of the gears, want to trade? :p

    I guess i'm the new kid

    That pure white/chrome R's/crystal sidelamp combo looks absolutely gorgeous. I like the way they painted in between the tail lights too, nice touch. One thing though...is that a burn mark on the rear bumper from the exhaust or something?
