    '85 GT Carb Swap

    I have an '85 GT I bought new. I have always had carb problems. I recently bought a new Edelbrock #1406 carb. I installed it and it starts & runs good, but it idles way too fast, like 2500 RPM. I am wondering if I can just loose all the emission vacuum stuff and just have vacuum advance and...

    Shock and Strut Replacement

    I changed my shocks & struts out at 65.500 miles. I installed Koni STR.T. Now I have my own lift, but it really wasn't too hard of a job. You need to rent or borrow a spring compressor to do the fronts. Happy with the results.

    Switching from higher to lower octane

    I am running a Brenspeed 87 octane performance tune. I have a K&N Aircharger CAI and Corsa exhaust and the car runs great. I used to run a Brenspeed 93 octane tune and don't see a whole lot of difference in the 87 octane tune, except my gas bill is lower. :nice:

    Brake Pad?

    Wow, pads gone in only 20K miles? Do you push it pretty hard? When My rear pads wore down, I just went with factory GT pads. When it comes time again, I will probably go front & rear with Hawk Performance Ceramic pads. When I replaced the rear pads (most people report the rears go first), I...

    How To - Bullitt steering wheel

    You're welcome. Just be sure to pull the battery cable & fuse and let it sit 15 or 20 minutes to make sure the power to the the airbag is DEAD. Also, keep the bag pointed away from your face when handling it. :nice:

    How To - Bullitt steering wheel

    It is an easy swap. Do yourself a favor, go to the dealer and get a new bolt that holds the wheel on. These bolts are designed to be used only ONCE. Torque the bolt to spec. The bolt is only a couple of dollars and the peace of mind is well worth it. I put the same wheel on my '06 GT 'vert and...

    How do yo utighten up a vert from cowl and shake?

    I had an '00 and an '06 'Vert. Strut tower braces seemed to help a bit on both. My '06 has a Strange Engineering brace, I like it. My '00 had a 3 point brace - a bit more of a job to install.

    a/c low pressure port

    I believe the LP port is in the line from the evaporator (inside the car) to the compressor. It should be the one on the driver's side near the firewall. I just did the A/C in my wife's Miata. I bought one of the kits from Interdynamics with a gauge on it. The quick connect fitting on the...

    My mechanic said: just deal with it (brakes)

    I put a set of PowerSlot rotors on a 2000 GT. The only thing I noticed was increased noise. Yea, they look good, but I saw no improvment in stopping.

    Drone-free muffler promised!!!!

    I have to respectfully disagree with you Bro. Have you seen the countless posts by Corsa owners all confirming "no drone"? I have them on my '06 GT and I can assure you, there truly is no drone. There is a good reason for this, Corsas are not made like any of the other aftermarket mufflers. If...
