    What diffrence's between a 4cyl and 5.0 interior(swapping to black)?

    The low fluid warning lights are functional on pre-90 GT models. But other than the seats there is no difference. LX cars equipped with the so called "GT interior" merely had GT seats bolted in. There is a difference between 87-89 and 90-91 though.

    Is the way the stock rev limiter works bad?

    Yeah you want an MSD 6AL. The factory rev limit method of randomly cutting out fuel injectors makes tree-huggers happy by not passing unburned fuel (plugs always fire) but the fuel vapor doesn't get depleted from the ports instantly. Result, the engine continues to spin past the limit before...

    Slotted/drilled myth?

    That's correct. When you're trying to slow the car... you're not trying to use whatever means of LOCKING the wheels. Otherwise why aren't we still using iron brake pads? In other words, you want to maximize kinetic friction, not static. A brake setup is going to apply a certain amount of...

    Slotted/drilled myth?

    Some people are going to try and tell you that brake fade just doesn't exist anymore... Found out for myself one day after a bit of a drive on a mountain road... "it was a 60's thing," my ass. If I ever have to replace brake rotors, they are gonna be SLOTTED no matter how much hell anyone...

    Is 18 degrees advanced too much timing?

    93 octane??? Doesn't sound like free horsepower to me. If you want to run 18 base that's fine but try it on 87. If it pings see if backing it off a couple degrees helps, if not, then use 89. Be sure to drive the car in various conditions, especially under load on a hot day, before taking...

    T5 Popped out of Gear twice yesterday

    If the shifter is engaging the gears fully, then it would be worn down dog teeth thowing it out of engagement when you load the gear.

    custom center console

    Steeda has the window switches and climate knobs. Beware of their stuff though, some of it doesn't fit in with the interior style (like weird shaped knobs and the wrong lettering) and they put their freaking logo on EVERYTHING that it will stand out on... nasty. I think they even have...

    2.3L breakin goes bad, lifter noise

    rod knock could be a possibility since the motor is new, if it is going TAP TAP TAP then get under the car and listen to the oilpan, is it coming from there? (don't get close to the sides of the block when it's making such noises) If it is definitely coming from the top end and making more of a...

    custom center console

    Oh yeah, how about repairing your ashtray door? That would be pretty custom since everyone else's is busted. :p Get an aluminum shift knob and parking brake handle. I like J's console. It's always neat to see someone's customizing to their car, even if it looks straight out of the ghetto. :D

    custom center console

    I might get one of these cuz my armrest has turned grey anyways. $50. I'd rather repair and dye the original one and make an aluminum and black leather retractable cupholder, though.

    2.3L breakin goes bad, lifter noise

    Why does everyone always say that the factory electric oil pressure gauge is just an idiot light? It generally used to show 45-50 psi and since I rebuilt the engine it shows 60-65 psi. I see pressure change a few psi if I use a different viscosity oil, or if the filter is plugged. Is it...

    my mains and rod bearing are severely shot after only about 700 miles of use.

    Strip all the bearing shells but remember where they came from, bolt the mains back on to about 50 ft-lb and measure the up-down diameter of all of them with a caliper. Also check all the crank journals to be sure they were turned down to the correct diameter. Check the numbers on all the...

    Have Paxton Novi 1000/2000 always had direct engine oiling?

    Have Paxton Novi 1000/2000 always had direct engine oiling?

    You'd have to be bloody crazy to want to run a supercharger that didn't have circulated oil.

    Cold Air

    I have heard of going to hardware stores and looking in the HVAC section for heating ducts. There is a certain fitting that you fit a round hose to and it makes a 90 degree bend and opens into a rectangular opening for floor vents and such. They're popular for jimmy-rigged ram air scoops. If you...
