    painting rusty drilled and slotted rotors

    I painted mine with a high temp black paint. I did several coats over the bell top and edges. I didn't bother masking anything off since the brakes were going to clean themselves up. The paint on the braking surface didn't affect anything at all and getting everything black looks worlds better...

    Strange Noise

    My car used to do the same thing. I was able to grab the caliper and shake it a tad. I replaced the shims on the brake bads and the rattling went away. Then I sold a pair of 03 calipers to blackened302 and when he got them on, they did the exact same thing. A swap of the shims also cured his...

    Whoring someone else's car.

    I just ordered one last night. Kinda looks like this one. haha. I've always loved the wingless/spoilerless look on these cars. The trunk lid has a nice little ducktail sort of going on with it. If I ever get one, it would probably be the xenon spoiler. Shmexy!!

    Whoring someone else's car.

    Correcto. Paul and I got a few pics in the other day. We didn't have much time and I believe these two were the only ones that came out good.

    My transmission casing was broken at the top where the top two bolts go into bell housing, and they were being held on with JB weld!

    Error codes

    212 - Loss of IDM input to PCM or SPOUT circuit grounded What should I look for other than a ground in the spout circuit? I have a tach running off of the ignition coil, could this be causing an ignition module circuit failure?

    Cam swap in car.

    Thanks man, chip was burnt by no other than stangnet's own Wes. I think I got the bug worked out. I rewired my fan with a new relay and relocated all the grounds, but it was still wreaking havoc on my electrical system, so I ran a 2nd ground from the block to the chassis and everything seems to...

    Cam swap in car.

    I'm running a steeda #19 and 3:55 gears. I have a custom burnt chip as well. The car was giving me trouble on wed at the track. I checked my timing and it had backed some and I have other electrical gremlins that are taking just about all of my power. Gonna look into it this weekend.

    tach places?

    I'm not sure since I'm not running one yet, but if you just mount it a little higher, I'm sure it'd fit fine.

    Cam swap in car.

    Cool, that's what I suspected. Mine had a lot of room to move around when I had the engine out, but my lines were disconnected from the compressor and we weren't sure how much room we'd have to play with. Thanks for the quick response.:nice:

    Cam swap in car.

    Blackened302 asked me to post for him. We are going to swap out the cam in his car from the nitrous cam to a milder tfs1 cam this weekend, but when he did his before, the engine was out of the car, and when I swapped out my cam, my engine was out of the car as well. So now that we're going to...

    Rolling fender lips?

    As Paul mentioned, the guy that rolled mine used a small wooden bat get them in before paint. They feel pretty smooth and gave me a lot more room. I'll try and get pics up soon. I read somewhere that to keep the paint from chipping when you're rolling the lips, you can use a heat gun to heat...
