    Clutch Question for the Experts

    About three months ago, before the blower, a noise began to come from under the car when I was looking for a parking spot. The noise was present only at the bottom of whichever gear I was in - almost lugging the motor, but not quite. This has gotten progressively worse over time with the noise...

    which drag radials?

    A 17" Drag Radial has no sidewall deflection . . . highly recommended if you'd like to snap axles. See my mods for what I replaced after I launched hard with 'em a few times . . . search this topic in the forums, it's been covered alot . . .

    What Size MAF?

    See mods below, subtract: MAC CAI, Underdrives and Timing Adjuster. Add: Vortech > 7-8 lbs. boost, Denso Iridiums, 255 lph fuel pump, 38 lb. injectors, professional dyno-tune. I'm shooting for 400 RWHP, but it's my daily driver so I don't want the tune to be too agressive. Now, do I...

    Pinion shaft lock bolt SNAPPED!

    Dude, that sucks! Even if you could get a left-handed drill bit to take a bite into it, that bolt isn't threaded the length of the shaft - the part that goes into the cross pin is thread-less. I would think an EZ-out may be your only choice. May be a job that will prove easier with the...

    Nitto vs BFG vs Mickey ET Streets Drag Radials????!!!????

    10k, um . . . ok. Why use them daily? No DR is going to get sellar traction on the street until you heat them up. Buy some "track wheels" and mount them up. My G-Force T/As hook up much better on the street than do my BFG DRs - both 275/40/17. btw, If I had to do it again, I'd buy some...

    calling Almighty Suspension Guru's--help me spend my $$ wisely

    Left handers with 9# of boost huh . . . could get interesting! I was referring to high speed cornering - like well banked freeway interchanges, etc. Mine sticks pretty good. The G-Force T/As were a nice addition to this package . . .

    calling Almighty Suspension Guru's--help me spend my $$ wisely

    I purchased and installed a Hotchkis TVS kit for my 2k3 GT and I'm certainly glad that I did. The kit included front and rear anti-sway bars (rear does away with the quad shocks and connects to the quad shock upper mounts), lower boxed aluminum control arms, adjustable upper control arms...

    Tranny Problem or Not?

    OK, the Tri/Ax is back on. When I pulled it off, I did notice that the lower handle bolt had worked its way loose - not very loose, but loose. In addition, I pulled out my feeler gauge and checked the stops per the installation instructions and set them to .020. Both were closer to .015. I...

    Tranny Problem or Not?

    I've seen that before but am unsure how correctly adjusted stops on the Tri/Ax could cause any problem. It was my understanding the misadjusted stops would cause the tranny to pop out of gear. Either way, I'm going to work on this tonight and see what I come up with . . .

    Tranny Problem or Not?

    I'm beginning to think you may be right. When I installed the Tri/Ax originally, I adjusted the shift stops EXACTLY as described in the installation manual so I would think a bent shift fork is unlikely. The fact that it's gone 25k miles with no issues makes me think something has changed...

    Tranny Problem or Not?

    OK, so I've read all about the T3650 issues, and mine for the longest time has been fine. I've had a Tri/Ax on mine since it was about 5k mile old. In the last several months, power-shifting 3rd has been near impossible - like you hit a brick wall. The only way I can upshift third is to...

    To stay N/A or not?

    One can inject methanol / water into a n/a too. I don't keep the system "armed" all the time though - just use it in the spring and summer where the humidity is less than 20% here. Ah, the mid-lengths - I get asked this question all the time. Not too painful to install (compared to like...

    To stay N/A or not?

    The dilemma - don't want to make my daily driver impossible to manage. Considering adding the following to it: Electric Water Pump Plenum / 75 mm TB Diablo Sport Programmer Will it benefit from a larger MAF at this point given my mods? Will I benefit by having a pro tune it? I think...
