    275/40r17 on stock wheels?

    275 / 40 / 17 DRs are not a good choice for a couple of reasons: 1. That tire has so little sidewall, you don't get much sidewall "deflection" on hard launches. Since it grips SO well, this is a guaranteed recipe to snap your stock axles - trust me, I've done it. 2. Since a 17 x 8 is an...

    best clutch to get???

    McLeod x 2 Question is - given your car is mostly stock, why is your clutch in need of replacement at 19,000 miles? Do you slip it often? Do you ride it?

    Remote Window ????How too??

    Many companies make modules that are designed to safely open / close power windows remotely. Most modules are designed for a pair of windows. They're fairly inexpensive, but rather complex to install - especially if you intend to add such to a factory keyless entry system. I don't know that...

    Since I'm spending money... what air compressor and tools to buy?

    For compressors to use in the typical home garage, it's hard to beat the Craftsman 33 gallon units. For air tools, I'm a pure Snap-On kinda' guy . . .

    What SC would you buy if money weren't an issue?

    if money were no object, I'd have a 14-71 roots blower poking through the hood . . . I'm thinking 50 pounds of boost would be cool . . .

    Runs Poor at Startup - Advice?

    Like the title says, when I first get in it and start it up (even after it has been running), it runs awful. It kind of sounds like a big - cam car does when it loads up at idle. After a few miles, all appears to be OK. It threw the Service Engine Soon lamp on about a week ago, so I had Auto...

    BBK LT install progress report: Day 2

    Actually, I counted four jacks in that photo . . . I especially like the use of the small hydraulic jack . . . I can tell you this, I popped my mid-lengths on w/o dropping the k-member. Total install time was probably about 10 hours. It was painful, but not super difficult. I simply...

    I typically use the following 1/4 inch drive stuff: ratchet 6" extension 10 mm snap-on mid well socket I've heard of others using a 3 foot extension and coming from in front of the k-member to get the top one out. Hey, if my wife can swap a starter on a 'stang, then so can you . . .

    bassani question

    Good info - he's exactly correct. Clutch swaps are still possible with the Bassani mid-lengths, as long as you remove the collectors with a slide hammer - easy.

    How do YOU stop your TOB from squealing?

    Bassani mid lengths! You do need to remove the collectors with a slide hammer, which is simple, then the tranny comes right out.

    28 spline vs. 31 spline?

    don't think so, that would be the clutch . . . now, after the clutch . . . well, I haven't broken that yet, so I can't really say . . . did install a d/s loop just in case . . . for my car, probably ripping torque boxes is next . . .

    28 spline vs. 31 spline?

    if it's a 5 speed, it is not if you will break the stock internals, it is when . . . a note on D/Rs - use a 15" so that you have some sidewall deflection, NOT 17" like I did . . . BOOM, pushed off track with both axles snapped, flatbed arrived at 1 AM, $85 for 6 miles . . .
