    TCP G-Bar Suspension?

    It's the Air Bar with coilovers, that's all. At least with the shock waves it got good reviews, so I guess it'll be alright.

    Vintage 48s, but in 15x7 or 15x8?

    Why's everyone gotta copy my stuff.. :) I got the 16x8s from VWW... I picked up the cosmetically blemished set cause I was gonna paint them anyways. Be prepared for a shocker on the minilites... if i remember correctly it was gonna be like 1500+ to 3000 for them depending on what options you...

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    I might be able to get ball joint taper and such for each year stang tie rod if I can find the suspension parts book at work. It should have the taper degree, diameter of hole plus thread diameter, and thickness of the hole... I'll try and get it for you wed.

    ignition box mounting

    I've got just a simple k&n filter off the MAF... I stuck my MSD box inside the fenderwell where the silencer/air box thing went... pretty incognito back there.

    1st project on my '70: brakes. Advice needed...

    Well... I believe you may be able to use a Fox body 4cyl booster; as for the m/c- well you've got a lot of options. Best bet is to find out exactly what you are going to run as far as front and back, then find a compatible bore m/c. The baer kit I got came with one basically from a 94/95...

    G-Bar Suspension

    HAHAHAHA I was waiting for something like this to come out. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw Air Ride's setup- forget the bags and throw some coil overs on it. Apparently at least with bags it rides pretty well.. the design is sound enough. As far as clearance... I would go...

    I Hate My Flowmasters (Dronemasters).

    I put spintechs on mine... absolutely blow the flows outta the water They are much quieter at idle and below 2500-3000, but once you get above there they go from like a a low growl sound to and open roudy sound. I love em' OH yeah, don't order the kit, just get the mufflers... the dynomax...

    20w50?

    I used to run 10-40 in my old stang... new one I run 15-50 mobil 1. Guy who had the motor built ran 20-50. At least according to the dummy oil pressure guage I get 3/4 98% of the time, the other 2% it drops just below the 3/4 line after cruising for a over an hour or so then coming to a quick...

    ok same problem new question getting tired of this car

    I think theoretically the box will work, or it won't. All of the voltage to signal the coil is going through the box. Now, there are two 'modes' of opperation to an MSD... below like 3500 I think (could be less) is when you get the multiple discharge for every 'fire'. Above that though, the coil...

    15" wheels with 13" brakes

    Most guys I know running Cobras and 15" in front are using the skinny drag wheels and a spacer... about the only way I know how:shrug:

    Possible T-5 hydraulic clutch option... Nissan sourced

    That's the bracket exactly... I'll check at work tomorrow and see how the 300zx slave cylinder lines up. If it does... theoretically all one would need is the bracket, off the shelf slave and master cylinders, and some line and you got yourself a hydraulic clutch. :D Forgive me, but...

    Possible T-5 hydraulic clutch option... Nissan sourced

    I was poking around at work and realized that some earlier model 300ZXs used a T-5 for the turbo equipped cars. Now.. they also use a hydraulic clutch set up with EXTREMELY cheap new parts (we're talking like 13 for a slave cylinder and like 18 for a m/c). They had wc options for the tranny...

    1" drop spindle, '70 drum style?

    Hey Degins, I'm in Austin too! Where are you getting all this foundry work done for these spindles? (Just curious... I'm in a foundry course down at Txstate) I think the most economical thing to do to would be to design a spindle with a 1" drop, a cast in boss for a relocated steering arm...

    Tach Installation

    Pretty sure you gotta drill, or duct tape the crap out of it. One of the two... Not sure how that one bezel from Autometer mounts... it carries a 5" tach and two other guages.. might check into that? :shrug:
