    Suspension gurus: Need help with uneven tire wear

    Thanks for the quick replies. When I get the CC plates, is this something that I can install, or should I bring it to the alignment shop and have them do it? I'm sure it will have to be aligned again once the CC plates are installed. Lastly, any particular brand or type?

    Suspension gurus: Need help with uneven tire wear

    I have 255/40/17 NT555s on the front and they are wearing down 3" on the inside on both the left and right tire. I asked the install tech when they were installed last year if anything can be done, but he said that the stock suspension couldn't be adjusted any more to offset the uneven wear...

    Which CCW Classic for Vibrant Red 93GT?

    As the title says, black adonized center/polished lip OR polished center/polished lip? 17x9 front 17x10.5 rear, staying 4 lug. They are pretty pricey, and I'm torn between the two and don't want to have any regrets. I love the stealthy look of the black, and also love the look of polished...

    What is the best fitting Cobra rear bumper cover?

    It's going on a 93GT. What brand has the best fitting bumper cover that requires the least amount of BS to get it to fit and line up properly? Cervini's, or some other brand? Secondly, will any pair of polished LX tailpipes fit right in? Is the interior noise somewhat quieter with LX tails...

    MAC or BBK TB for Edelbrock Performer RPM?

    Instead of the RPM, would a Performer intake match well with an AFM N-61 camshaft/AFR 165 or TFTW combo? Further down the road an S-Trim may be added. With this combo, will the 3:73s be too much, or should I go back to 3:55s or 3:27s? I do 400+ miles/week of highway driving. Thanks- Ted

    MAC or BBK TB for Edelbrock Performer RPM?

    Thanks for the replies. The only reason I want to put on the RPM is because I will be adding an AFM camshaft with AFR 165s or TFTWs to a built shortblock if and when my 230K+ mile longblock takes a dive. How badly will my performance on the stock longblock suffer? Loss of low end or all...

    MAC or BBK TB for Edelbrock Performer RPM?

    I am going to install an Edelbrock Performer RPM and a C&L 76mm MAF. Which 70mm TB should I go with? BBK or MAC? Is Accufab that much better? If so, where is the cheapest place to get one? My mods are in sig. Lastly, what kind of RWHP gain can I expect after adding the intake, MAF, and TB...

    Black DD or polished aluminum DD Bullet wheels for Vibrant Red 9GT?

    I'm looking to do the 5-lug conversion this summer-which would look better on a Vibrant Red 93GT? I love the look of black wheels with a polished lip, but I'm not sure how it would look on a car that is Vibrant Red. Chrome is a little to "blingy" for me, but I like polished aluminum it's a...

    Coolant Leak from interior of car? please help

    Go to an auto parts store and buy a heater core bypass hose. I think I paid like $7 for it. It is U-shaped and has different sized opening on each end. Open the hood and on the passenger side firewall you'll see two adjacent hoses attached there. One is the input and the other is the output...

    Budget (ie junkyard) 5 lug conversion to install 17x9/10.5 Bullits on 93GT

    BFH-Haha-I love it. So the Ranger uses the same diameter brake shoes on the rear drums, huh? Thanks for the replies everyone.

    Budget (ie junkyard) 5 lug conversion to install 17x9/10.5 Bullits on 93GT

    From what I understand, can I just install 94-up rotors/calipers for the front? I heard that the FRPP 5 lug conversion won't allow me to install Bullits on the front due to fitment problems with the dustcap. For the rear, what axles (Ranger?) and which sides do I need? Correct me if I'm...

    Effects of advanced timing on gas mileage

    Under normal driving conditions (80-90 hwy miles daily) with an occasional spirited launch once in awhile, is gas mileage really affected between stock and 14 degrees advanced? I backed mine down to stock when I moved to the outskirts of town, but wanted to bring it back to 13-14 because she...

    Mystery vacuum line

    On the passenger's side between the accumulator and the shock tower there is a rubber vacuum connection that is about 1 inch in diameter and has 5 lines coming from it going toward the engine. The 4 lines on the corners of this connector are intact but the one in the very center is broken off...

    MPG difference between 2:73s and 3:73s

    I'm not saying that I expect my car to run like a Honda Civic. I just want to maximize my mpg since I just paid $2.80/gallon. As far as selling it goes, I'm not THAT desparate. After I'm in the new house for a few months and I see how my finances are, I'll probably get a long range daily...

    MPG difference between 2:73s and 3:73s

    Thanks for the tip crazypete. I just thought that mileage was simply decreased by more rpms. I'm off to the parts store to get a vacuum gauge, drive through a full tank as per your instructions, then report back to you guys.

    MPG difference between 2:73s and 3:73s

    Crazypete- Specifically, what kind of vacuum gauge, and where do you attach/mount it? For optimum mileage, what kind reading should one aim for? I try not to shift above 2K rpms. Thanks- Ted
