    Where to buy shims for trac loc?

    My trac loc is getting pretty bad, most of the time it only spins the right rear tire. I've been told that just replacing the clutch packs may not help, and the best way is to shim up the clutch packs so they have less tendancy to spin just one tire. Anyone one where I can find these shims...

    how many of us are highschool kids?

    I graduated in '04, but bought the car about 2.5 months ago. It's probably a good thing I didn't have this car in my high school days :D

    Clutch Freeplay from the top.

    Mine does this too. Interested to see what/if anything is wrong with it.

    Using oil... but how?

    Your manual only tells you to put in 5 quarts? That's weird, the manual for my 03 says to put in 6 quarts including a filter change. How much oil would you say it uses in 3k miles? Mine uses about a 1/2 quart, but I chalk that up to my aggressive driving habits and the fact that the dealer puts...

    How hard do you drive your GT?

    Boy, you are right on that one. I almost lost control of my car last week when I hit 3rd gear too hard around a turn. Luckily nobody else was around when I was sideways on the other side of the road. Gotta be careful out there...

    Signs od a bad MAF?

    My car seems to be somewhat sluggish lately, especially when it gets fully warmed up. Could a bad MAF be causing this? I might try cleaning it this weekend to see if it makes any difference.

    Clutch pedal clicking?

    Hey guys, my clutch pedal makes a clicking sound during its first inch of travel going to the floor. Could this be the clutch cable? Besides that, the clutch works fine. Thanks

    Friend just picked up a 98 Cobra

    Thanks guys, I appreciate your opinions. Now, on a side note, how much faster would my car be if I were to do 3.73 gears, a catless x pipe, an SCT xcal, and maybe a throttle body? This is assuming I could get the car to hook up at all :rolleyes:

    Friend just picked up a 98 Cobra

    My friend just picked up an Atlantic Blue 98 Cobra 5 spd a few days ago, and I will say its a beautiful car. It has 51k on the clock, and he bought it for $11k, which seems like a good deal to me. It has a Bassani cat back with a Bassani catted x pipe, sounds awesome. I haven't gotten the...

    Hey all, I have a slight dent in my front bumper cover, right where the bumper meets with the fender. Would it be possible to heat up the bumper and push it out somehow without damaging the paint? Thanks in advance!

    How are you guys doing on oil consumption?

    Seems like oil consumtion is all over the place on these cars. My friend has a 99 GT with 55k and he uses like a quart every 2000 miles. I'm not worrying about mine, it will probably do better if I stop beating on it so much anyhow.

    How are you guys doing on oil consumption?

    I've put about 2500 miles on my car since I bought it, and I changed the oil the same day I got it. It has used about 1/2 a qt so far, which seems fine to me, considering I drive it hard ( redlining all the time, frequent trips to 140 on the highway). I'd like to see how it does next time, IF I...

    Tough race with modded 350Z

    So I'm on the highway last night and a 350Z comes up next to me and motions forward. I'm doing about 70mph so I drop to 3rd gear, honk 3 times and were off. It was dead even till about 130mph where we both let off. I was kinda surprised, I was hoping I would have pulled on him a little bit, but...
