    How much for...

    5 years ago I bought my notchback with 88,000 miles, perfect interior, paint, wheels, engine. It was nearly stock and even had a working ash tray door. I spent $6,000. Prolly overpaid a hair, but I fell in love and bought her. So if you are willing and able to dig a little, you should be...

    Mufflers Rubbing on Drive Shaft

    the flowmaster cat backs fit like crap in general. On the passenger side of my car, the muffler bangs against the frame, the tailpipe rubs my tire and the tip is set in 2 inches further forward than the driver's side.

    test & tune times

    beyond what everyone here has said, the only advice I can give you is to not focus on the lights and your reaction time. it doesn't affect your e/t and it usually gets new drivers anxious and messes up launches.

    dash speaker wiring question

    1991vert - yes, the eclipse has rca preouts. why do you ask? gt drifter - I agree, tone generators are fantastic. I'll take a look through it. all of the wiring is stock, so I'm not sure what is up here. if it comes down to it, it may just be time to rewire the front stage and install a...

    dash speaker wiring question

    the dash speakers are definitely working, that is the wierd thing here. if there is a crossover for the front speakers, there would be no impedance issues, but I doubt that one is in place considering that I am having these wierd balance issues I may just need to pull out the deck and pop...

    What is this called? (Distributor related)

    mint, thanks Daggar. last question. stock replacement is $36 from 50resto.com and they have an accel for $52. any reason to upgrade? they also carry the tool that you're talking about, so I'll definitely grab that.

    What is this called? (Distributor related)

    Please take a look at the attached file...I'm talking about the plastic thing that is attached to the distributor and is where that harness connects to. I accidentally cracked it when I was installing a new thermostat and pulled it away from the distributor. without the zip ties, it doesn't...

    Need some towing advice.

    what sucked about towing? my guess is the weight distribution was bad and you didn't have enough tongue weight, whick makes a trailer a handful abd actually quite dangerous. how big was the trailer? how heavy was the tongue?

    time for new heads...help please?

    5spd GT - Definitely no intention to sell the car, so resale isn't it for me. I literally just want the car to make great power and pass the sniffer in MA. It is getting harder and harder to get a sticker around here and I'd prefer to not deal with the headache every other year.

    time for new heads...help please?

    definitely wasn't expecting this kind of response. The TW heads are defienitely coming off and will be fore sale for around $500-700 in the late winter/early spring. They heads make good power as is and definitely flow more than enough, but have a significant "tick" that is driving me up a...

    Finally dyno'd and tuned...opinions?

    funny you should mention that...I am never doing another burnout again unless it is to warm up tires at the track. I just took the car to New England Summer Nationals and absolutely annihilated a pair of tires in a 4 gear burnout. I also annihilated some quarter panel trim and a bunch of paint...

    Finally dyno'd and tuned...opinions?

    DMAN, thanks for the feedback! I think foir the compression ratio, it did pretty well. Foxfan, the MAF is matched. Problem was that the car had no O2's and I didn't realize until recently that the computer can't really do anything without them. When I had the initial work done, I didn't...
