    Light's work but when i try to start battery dies?

    You might check the starter solenoid and the starter as well. If the starter is bad and you try and crank it it will drain everything else for a couple milliseconds.

    anyone in Louisiana ?

    Don't think so. Did anyone hear anything about the Elmwood Cruise NIght. I heard that it was going to be cancelled because there was a problem there last month.

    4cyl conversion car, brake upgrade?

    Ratrapp is right. I did the same thing on mine. Your best bet is to read some of Matt's site. The money you spend on the parts could be better spent on upgraded parts rather than factory. http://svo73mm.cjb.net/

    For the love of God PLEASE HELP Stumped!!!!

    Don't even worry about gettin your paws in there to remove it, just bust it out. The hard part for me was gettin the new one in. Tight fit, but I ended up finding it easier to play with it through the clutch hole in the firewall.

    Mark VIII Fan users, stop in...

    I think Sgt. hit it on the head for part of your problem. First you may have an off-balance fan. Call Houston Motorsports and see what they will do to help you out on that. Second if you are running an electric fan for a long period, you are heating everything up (motor, blade and mount) more...

    Custom strut tower brace

    Thanks Almost. Great idea he had, but I want to run the brace to cowl rods to the pinch welds like the MM braces. I was also thinking of fabbing a plate to go under the camber plates. I guess now I need to ask people for pics of their strut brace installs. That way I can get a better idea of...

    Coilover

    Yeah I already have the spacers on the car. My problem is that with the spacers and the 87-89 front fenders the tires rub the front fender extensions. I was trying to eliminate that by switching to a regular coil spring. Only thing is that I had to cut the Tokico's to get the coilover to fit...

    Coilover

    I have Ground Pounder Coilovers on my car already. I had to use a spacer for the front when I swapped to 17X9 rims. I cant afford to get the 17X8's so I need to know if I can still use the struts to go back to regular springs (just for now). I refuse to give up the Tokico Illuminas. If I...

    Got my Kona!

    I think I wants to get one. Hell for 35.00 for the titanium I will never have to worry about breaking a handle (Have the Tri_ax with the original billet handle), and it will be closer to the rear of the shifter, looks like it will be easier to shift while strapped in the harness.

    Need green light bulbs, 53

    Mavrick, where did you get the green bulb for the tach? I looked for one, but couldnt find one that small.

    Got my Kona!

    You have trouble reaching it with the harness? That might be a problem then. What is the difference on the two pics? I can't tell any difference at all! If that was an old shot, what does it look like now?

    Need green light bulbs, 53

    They just wont fit in the 5" tachs. That is a tiny little bulb, and you have to be careful putting a bulb cover on it too.
