    Flat black lx?

    Hey guys , right now i am in the process of building up my 91 lx. The problem is that i am putting all of my money into the drivetrain , and she is lacking some looks. My plan was to spray the whole car flat black , and add some clear headlights just because i want her to look a little better on...

    Ghetto spool?

    I know i will probably get flamed for this , but i have always owned trucks , and when you needed traction , you just got out the stick welder and had at it. My question is that my rear right now is pretty beat. The ring and pinion are chipped , and the trac loc is smoked. I am going to replace...

    Recommended lifters for trick flow?

    I was really suprised that anything was wrong with them because like i said , there is less than 10k on the heads. When i tightened down the rockers , they would loosen up in less than 5 minutes of just sitting there , not even running. Are you guys trying to say that the lifters may not be the...

    Recommended lifters for trick flow?

    So this week was an entire nightmare. I brought the car to the shop to get the valves adjusted because they were ticking , the guy calls me back telling me i spun a rod bearing. I told the guy no way , because it wasnt making any power anymore and i was losing oil pressure. Needless to say the...

    Not as fast as it should be.

    A compression test showed great compression on all cylinders. The number one cylinder was a little bit less than everything else. I should be getting her back tuesday , just in time to put in the new tranny and rear.

    Not as fast as it should be.

    I just got home from the shop that it is at and he said he will have it sorted out by tuesday at the latest , they are really busy with dyno tunes this weekend. The guy felt bad and hooked me up with a world class t-5 that someone just pulled out so they could put a 6 speed in. I'm getting the...

    Not as fast as it should be.

    Turns out that the shop really messed up > i told them from the beginning that it was a valve problem and thats why it was losing power , but they insisted on it being a spun rod bearing. Turns out another mechanic looked at it and they called me back today and it WAS a valve train problem. I...

    Not as fast as it should be.

    The oil pressure would be at about 50 psi when it was warming up , then drop down to like 40. It is a very reputable speed shop. I am at a loss for things to do , i think it is time for the for sale sign. I dont have the money to rebuild.

    Not as fast as it should be.

    BAD NEWS Just dropped my car off at the shop today , and i got the worst news ever. He said there is something wrong in the bottom end. Something was ticking , but i wrote it off as a header leak. Now im stuck between a rock and a hard place.

    Not as fast as it should be.

    I have a 150 dry system in the garage , im just waiting til she is running right to put it on. As far as a mechanic owning my wallet , i do all my own work , tuning is just a little out of my realm right now. This is the first muscle car i have really gotten into. I've always had trucks , i...

    Not as fast as it should be.

    Took the car to a tuning shop today. They said there is a bad vacuum leak and i need to get everything tuned. It is completely out of wack. Is 500 for a dyno tune and chip too much? I can get it to another shop , but not for a couple of weeks ,a nd i need the car asap because it is my daily...
