    help with rear control arms

    It replaces the function of the upper control arms in a more efficent manner. less bind and better wieght/torque transfer. if you already have subs and can afford it I would just do it. I have been wanting to add the torque arm and phb for a wile but Have decided a supercharger comes first.

    What size TB for my car?

    if buying new get 75mm. If buying used get what ever you get a better deal on. certain plenums react different to TB size. I have not seen one react negatively to the larger size though. Some of them flow exactly the same with 75 or 70 though. I have seen raw flow data on the accufab...

    help with rear control arms

    not even close IMO. the MM have spherical bearings and don't bind up like tradition poly bushings. Also poly upper increase bind quite a bit so on a handling oriented car they are a big no no.

    KDW's

    well you either have to run the tradition tread design as they do make those sizes or get 255 40 series and have you tire be .7 inches shorter. or buy new 18 wheels and run 245/35-18's

    help with rear control arms

    well if you like corners don't touch the uppers. leave stock or do some kind of 3 link/pnahard bar toruqe arm setup. I would just do you homework before you buy and really get you goals in line because the choices you make here are usually lead to trade offs handling vs straitline...

    gear debate

    to me this is the bottom line. if you keep the stock 6000rpm limiter you will have like 112mph trap speed if you go 4.10's. you will have like 120mph of trap speed with 3.73's. so based on that info is how I would pick the gears. If my wife quits spending my money I am getting the...

    Blew my intake apart last night

    if you had the money to even look at the Reichert you could do a bullit intake. they do preform better and are nice an streetable. you could afford the p51 as well. my .02 if you stay plastic go used and save some money as they not that durable.

    6g to 3g

    well I don't have any good advice for you but what I would do if I was in a hurry is see if I could find a parts store that had them both in stock and go see if they are physically the same. if they are obviously the wiring would not be a big deal. or find someone with a 98 and just look the...

    KB 1.7 intercooled hybrid possible?

    well my .02 is find out if there is a problem first. get the kit, install it. test it out I mean you could always hook up a temp gauge to the IC resivior. see if you get heat issues. I mean KB should have designed the IC to run on car that is driven. If they have done thier math right...

    Lunar Auto Meter Gauge Cluster

    yeah if ran lunar gauges boost and fuel I would buy it just because I am ocd about matching stuff up. I have speedhut overlays so I will proably buy thier gauges when i get my KB. I sure wish they would offer a real lunar gauge cluster though. even If I had to swap out senders and it was...

    Lunar Auto Meter Gauge Cluster

    they look nice but they are not any supperior quality of guage so I could not rationize the expense over an overlay. i would have bought them in a heartbeat if they were real gauges and not glorified idiot lights like the factory stuff.

    KB 1.7 intercooled hybrid possible?

    are you possitive this is an issue? the KB intercooler mounts beneather the blower so I don't think you are going to find an upgrade but obviously you could increase the resivior size but I would not do this unitll I had actually measured there was a proablem. I would call KB and see what...

    dead cyl?

    yeah once you mod they will most likely void the waranty even though it is bull****. the fact that the plug is fouling means there is a power loss of some kind though. compression testers are cheap and it takes like 10-20 min tops to do so I would just do it. if it comes up low you will...

    power door lock stoped working

    okay what the hell would the window motor have to do with the door locks? Well chances are it is the solinoid going bad. pull and and test it out I am sure it is 12v. it if is just weak though it may still work out of the car. I don't know how much they are if it is cheap maybe just...

    Need some power...

    I would only do gears or headers at this point. gears > shorties gears = longtubes probably so if unwilling to do longtubes do gears. proabaly 3.73's if boosting. If going centri I supose you could go 4.10's but the traction would get really horrible I am sure. right now the 4.10...
