    Detailed the engines

    i used Gunk engine foam "for old dirty engines" and the first application did well so far... just finished... hosed the entire engine bay and evry nook and cranny i could find, used the entire can. did well overall, the valve covers were not quite as i like them, and there is a lilttle other...

    Which headers?

    as long as you got the 5 piece, then they have blanks at the end that are removed, so yes it would work. also, the bassani makes two levels of their gear, the BX and performance. the BX is mostly the same but a bit cheaper quality.... th performance i have had my hands on and really like...

    Mazdaspeed6 or Cobra

    the 1.7 and 2.0Ts can be wound up VERY hard with just a few slight adjustments. think, the EVO and STI are both small bore 4bangers with a turbo... sure there is a lil more weight, but alot more class, and still can be made into a pretty solid monster... after all Audi has an all stock race...

    just started back lifting, always get strong.. very strong.. but for some reason never stack on any size.. kinda disapointing, i dont cafe for the stealth look, women dont notice strength immediatly, they notice size. shrug... i was intereted in getting involved with various arts... however...

    Is granatelli motorsports any good?

    did a back search on toms posts... his last 2 were kinda ominous... doesnt bleed ford blue anymore (sold the cobra?) and is playing with quattro (audi's AWD system?) so heis either busy or jumped ship and we wont see him anymore. Torinalth

    Easy to shift...only when car is cold

    sounds like te problem i have when the clutch cable is stretched too much. not saying that IS your problem, but here is my situation and see if it applies to you. in the morning when its cold the clutch is fine and the tranny shifts ok. once i get it hot, and put around 40+ miles on it...

    Baer 13" rear brake upgrade

    Which headers?

    i'd go midlength via Bassani, yes a new midpipe will be needed, but there is no more then 2 hp difference, no ground clearance lost, and fits around every K member i have seen so far including theMM one (arguable the largest tubular one). but i am a bassani fan.... Torinalth

    clutch problems? maybe?

    aye, it happens, did to me just before mine broke. and as far as quadrent, i used the steeda double hook (the blue one) and have the steeda FW adjuster on order. apparently its the longest, so it would allow for the cable to be used longer under stretch untill it brakes. and it just...

    Round Tube SubFrame Connectors..

    wow, no... not on my mustang. few things to note. square will always prevent flex more then round due to its geometric strength of having vertical side walls. second going underneath the cars subframes, while hurting ground clearance slightly, is the best way to prevent flex, as its...

    u/d pulley delimma

    they made saleens all those years.. so yes there are UD pullies for those years... but good luck contacting them, as that would be your best bet is to contact and see if you can purchase one seperate. though on a business sense, they will probably make you buy the full correct set. Torinalth

    clutch problems? maybe?

    if its all stock you SHOULD be able to just grab the pedal and pull up on it.... if not then yes the firewall adjuster and new quadrent is what you want. dont get an adjustable cable... i have one and am currently waiting on my new cable (stock OEM) and firewall adjuster to come in. sick of...

    Mazdaspeed6 or Cobra

    if yer going that route then skip the mazda... get an audi a4 quattro with the 1.7T engine, and upgrade the internals and rip the boost. seen a few that were just astonishing. for AWD audi really cant be beat, sure its not as hyped as the omnipotent STI, Evo, or whatever... no its not as boy...

    Sub install

    wow, since you have no knowledge of audio, then you are already over your head and should take it to an audio shop and get it done, both install and advice. i can walk you through it all, however it will take several pages of onformation to get this acomplished... if you really want to go for...

    possible fix for those with rattles in the back end

    if you cant do it with the suspension, then its time for the driveline in my opinion :) Torinalth
