    Stock tach =good reading?

    Well, the rev limiter is supposed to kick in at 6250rpm. So, if you run the motor up to the rev limiter and see where that is on the tach, that will give you some idea of its accuracy at high revs. At least I think that'll work. Anyone else care to comment?

    z5 transmissions

    I will probably order myself a T5 Z-spec from D&D several months down the road. My T5's first and second gear synchroes are going--when cold, they grind if I shift too quickly. I'll probably get the T5 rebuild kit and just rebuild mine once I pull it out.

    17x10.5s on a Fox Body

    I've got 17x9s with 275/40s on the back of my '89 and there is MINIMAL clearance. I get some rubbing (I believe on the inside of the tire to the inside of the wheel well) if I get sideways around a corner. I've got 1/4" spacers to install but I haven't driven the car in a few weeks so I...

    Best Shocks and Springs? My Ride Quality SUCKS!

    It's funny you guys are b1tching about the ride of mostly stock suspension components. The aftermarket parts can only be stiffer than stock and I doubt they would actually help improve the ride. My '89 has stock shocks and springs right now (albeit with a MM K-member brace and strut-tower...

    Anyone who has rebuilt thier t-5?

    If I buy a new tranny for my GT, I'm going to rebuild my existing one. I've seen people getting $400-$500 for rebuilt T5s on Egay and if a rebuild kit is only $170, then it makes sense to give it a try. I took a tranny class back when I was studying auto tech about 10 years ago. It's been a...

    turn signals don't flash

    No flash usually indicates a bad blinker relay or a dead blinker bulb. You sure it's not just a coincidence?

    Need voucher for Dumping flows, please respond!

    Okay, that's what I kinda figured. I actually notice a little exhaust smell in my GT and it's got the turn-downs all the way at the end of the car.

    Need voucher for Dumping flows, please respond!

    When you guys say "dumps", you just mean the tailpipes that exit at the end of the car and turn down at the end, GT style, right? Or do dumps exit before the back end of the car?

    Which subframes to get?

    I've got the MM SFCs, but they're not installed yet, unfortunately. I'm waiting for the nasty weather to clear up a bit before I run the car down to the shop to have them welded on!

    how fast will ET Drags(or slicks in general) wear on the street?

    I've run with autocross slicks as my daily-driver tires on my Fiero and I get somewhere around 5000-7000 miles a set. (Which is pretty good because I usually drive half that many miles a year in the car.) I've used BFG T/A R1s (not made any more) and Kumho Ecsta V700s. The slicks grip...

    Chrome Cobra R's

    How's your clearance up front? I've got 245/45R17s up front, and they rub the front of the fender skirt just a tiny bit if I turn the steering wheel more than 3/4 turn. I should've got 245/40s or 255/40s. :(

    Bare or Powdercoated Subframes?

    I've got a set of MM powdercoated full-length connectors, but they're not installed yet. Personally, I don't feel like having to paint the whole rail once its installed so I don't mind having to just grind off the paint where it's going to be welded. Basically, if you want to paint the whole...

    mm brake upgrade kit

    Are you talking about this kit? If so, I only see pads, shoes, steel lines and caliper sleeves. There's nothing mentioned about actual calipers. As far as the pricing goes, you might be underestimating the cost of steel brake lines. A two-line steel brake kit for my GSX-R cost me $130, and...

    Mobil 1 sucks

    I run Mobil1 15W50 in my '91 CBR600F2 and it doesn't leak or burn any oil despite 3000+ miles between oil changes on a motor with 33K miles on it that sees 13,000rpm on a regular basis. I run Redline 15W50 in my '03 Gixxer 1000 and it hasn't leaked or burned any either. The previous owner...

    Just switched to Dynomax race bullets, WOW.

    Time for a new chick. My girl loves my car. She jokes about not wanting to let me drive around in alone 'cause chicks will dying to go for a ride and says she can't wait for warm weather to go around topless. (The car, I mean--I'm still working on getting HER topless in it. :D ) Somehow I...

    If you've rebuilt a T5... please respond

    I don't have an answer to your question, but I am thinking about rebuilding my T5 myself. Roughly how many hours have you spent on the rebuild process?
