    How to remove top dash pad, '86 GT?

    ^^^^ I plan to cover the dash pad with black suede (a friend of mine had it done in his '91 Camaro, looks awesome!) and then match the upper door panel with the same black suede. In addition, I plan to install Corbeau GTS II seats in suede and then have the factory rear seats re-upholstered to...

    Ten holes are finally gone!!

    I love the ten holes! In fact, if I could get a manufacture to make me some 17 inch replicas made from billet aluminum.....I'd do it. Unfortunately, I have not found anyone that can make a cheap/reasonable copy in a larger size. Eventually I will have to ditch the ten holes like most folks...

    How to remove top dash pad, '86 GT?

    How to remove the top dash pad in my '86 GT? What tools are required? I have not looked at it throughly, but I wanted to get an idea of the difficulty of the job. My search only lead to threads regarding the swap from the old dash to the newer '87-93 dashes. I'm planning to get my top...

    New evo...

    Wow, I would have figured the new Evo to be at least, as quick as the previous model. Perhaps, the six speed MR will be quicker. Mike

    Wacky factory gauges.

    I've owned my '86 GT for several months now and on two occasions the oil pressure, coolant temperature, and the fuel gauge make a sweep to the right. The oil pressure indicates high, too high, the coolant temperature predicts extreme, damaging heat, and the fuel gauge is off the charts telling...

    who here knows what a subaru wrx (sti) is???

    My old '05 STi modded with a custom decklid, Brakeman brake kit, ACPT CF driveshaft, StaticX crank pulley, Bride Zetta III seats, Braille battery, JIC Spartan titanium catback, and K&N filter ran [email protected]. Again, my STi was running stock boost on the stock turbo with no engine...

    Need to fix drivetrain slop.

    ^^^^^^ Not me, I do have a small whine from the rear end. However, it seems that there is far too much movement for the differential to be the only culprit. I appreciate the response! Mike

    How to save gas in a 5.0

    Patrickmx2, very interesting and informative. Do you feel that the acetone is better than using regular 91/93 octane? With my '86 5-spd. 2.73 I'm averaging 22 mpg city/hwy on 91 octane including the use of A/C. I just recently switched from 87 octane to 91 due to a more aggressive timing...

    1990 mustang vs mazda miata

    ^^^^ Yes, that is a Magnuson MP62 roots supercharger and was making 9lbs. of boost. If I recall correctly, it probably would break 130 in a half mile race. My old Miata was a 6-spd car and the gearing was very short which hurt its top speed. Mike

    1990 mustang vs mazda miata

    My old '03 BRP supercharged Miata was transformed from a 15.9 stock, to a 13.5@105 mph in the 1/4 mile with the A/A intercooled supercharger setup. The Miata was extremely fast to 125mph, after 125 it would start to struggle to 135mph. My Miata did not have NOS, I think he has the advantage...

    Need to fix drivetrain slop.

    ^^^^ Yes, before and after. I'll start with the motor mounts, hopefully that will cure most of the problem. The rear bushing are going to be expensive because I will upgrade those components to MM parts. Mike
