    New Engine & Other things

    My long block was like $3k, T56 was like $4-5k then with labor and all the misc. stuff you never plan on doing adds up very quickly. I spent more then $10g's on my drivetrain set up and now I have huge regrets for not getting new motor mounts $140 while the bay was open. Now I have a problem...

    anyone here driven/owned an rx-7?

    Rotery engines are pretty cool and dead quiet. Too bad they need boost to make power. The RX8 revs to like 9grand, if I remember right a chime comes on somewhere above 8,000rpms to remind you to shift. The problem with the design is that over time the engine is prone to carbon build...

    Need Help, Missaligned Engine, Trany, Driveshaft+Unknown Noise

    You know Ben, I dont have any idea if the mount was broken when the trany was installed. I guess I'll never know but I like your thinking. Besides motor mounts are not going to rape my bank account. It looks like I have to get the mount fixed then probabally have the holes welded up for the...

    Need Help, Missaligned Engine, Trany, Driveshaft+Unknown Noise

    My regular shop finally got back to me with the noise that came out of no where. It turns out that the engine has a broken motor mount, its crooked-cocked to one side. Then the tranny is also crooked and the drive shaft may or may not be bent. The rear end has been taken apart and put...

    What would you pay?

    $9k-though it looks so fast.... But the cage looks cool-too bad it would be a PITA for a daily driver. How would you get your girl in a skirt in there? I guess you could make the dash a mirror and get some good looks while she settles in. Diablo Stang I am jealous of your buy, sounds to me...

    The *OFFICIAL* what you got for Christmas Thread!

    Do I need this thing?

    I agree that this piece is necessary but what about the air silencer we all have removed? It costs how much for Ford to make/install those things and everyone I know has removed it. Maybe the silencer is strictly to pass govt. emmisions hence it being worth the cost/labor? (Sorry to jack this...

    Grinding Noise From Rear End...

    Sorry to repeat... 96-98 axles are longer than 94-95's or 79-95's? For some reason I thought 94-98's or even 94-04's were all the same size. Please advise me, Thanks everyone
