    Help! Whats the deal with my trans??

    if you want to speed shift without lifting a synchronised tranny will not last. Now if you are serious about driving like this and the car is not a daily driver. call g-force long shifters and get a dog ring tranny (just a modified t-5) it will do what you want. Chris

    Carl Vogt at cobra automotive told me that the t-bird spindles will not work due to geometry issues, thats why none of the trans am teams used them.

    yes all the info is in the b0ss 302 chasis modification book. the spindles are the easy part. Its the caliper brackets that are the "non factory" part making them somthing that is a hard find. If you guys get a group buy on the brackets count me in. chris

I have found the calipers on a t-bird and a set of big bearing spindles off a torino. but I will probably just bite the bullet after the holidays and buy the hubs, rotors,studs and brackets from cobra automotive. I have been open tracking my fast back on granada...

    can you clean up hazy headlights?

    I just did a set recently. I started by grinding off those pesky nipples. then started with 600 grit sand paper and ended with 2000 (all wet of course) then used a polisher with rubbing compound and finished with polishing compound. they look 100 times better
