    Really need help with the focus...

    its a DOHC right? i played around with some DSMs in my day and they are notorious for jumping teeth on the exhaust cam and timing belts snapping. not saying your timing belt snapped, but it could have jumped a tooth or two and be out of time a little bit. my eagle talon was off 3 teeth and when...

    Really need help with the focus...

    Anyone running 315's out the back? What do u run on the front? Tailpipes?

    i got my rims from latermodelrestoration.com and they have the correct offset for the mustangs. my wheels/tires match the lip of the front and rear fenders perfectly. i dont think they stick out at all IIRC

    Anyone running 315's out the back? What do u run on the front? Tailpipes?

    well i was reading around on here before i purchased my wheels and tires and some complaints people had with the 275s up front is that you feel every little dip or curve in the road. like the car will follow every dip. and also if you drive your car in the rain at all, there were issues of...

    Anyone running 315's out the back? What do u run on the front? Tailpipes?

    i run 275s up front and 315s out back and the bitch feels like its on rails, i didnt have to remove any quad shocks or massage any fenders, of course my car isnt lowered that much, only about 1.5 inches with the eibach pro-kit. and i have a flowmaster catback and i have plenty of room between...

    Sick Swap...

    ive read about that ls swap into the solstice, they say its not that hard of a swap, like you dont have to get the hammer or cut wheel out to make it fit. its just that the damn engine costs like 15 grand

    what air compressor?

    i have a craftsman like the one that caught your eye. it is nice because its 120v. but dont expect it to be quiet. but then again, ive never heard a compressor that was quiet. but overall its a good compressor for running an air gun or air chisel. im going to try painting with it here in the...

    New Track Times/Dyno #s from the Daily Driver

    nice numbers, posts like this make me rethink about wanting to go with the 351 swap. and the fact that its a stock block with that many miles, full weight and an automatic is even more impressive. keep up the good work man. chad

    Pics of my current project. Going DIS

    would this be a beneficial mod to someone like me that has a stock engine now, but has plans to put an 408w stroker in down the road? like maybe i could get it setup and the bugs worked out before my new engine goes in? or should i just wait til after the motor is in? i see the benefits...

    New Wheels, Anthracite FR500s

    thanks man, yeah i was torn between 18 black chrome saleens and the 17 anthracite fr500. the deciding factor was the tire prices and the fact that 315's look freakin mean from the rear. i still might get a set of 18 black chrome saleens tho. depends on how my saleen kit looks with these wheels...

    More Power Basic Info Thread

    You can have the heads milled some and possibly run a thinner head gaskets, but be sure to check the piston to valve clearance. check with a machine shop or engine builder on how much can be milled off your current heads. this will raise your compression some, but it wont get you into the 10:1 area.

    Pyrometer Gauge from Autometer?

    the pyrometer measures the exhaust gas temps on the manifolds. alot of the 4 cylinder turbocharged honda and dsm guys use them. judging by how hot the temp reads, it will tell them if its running lean or rich. ive owned a turbo dsm before, but never had the gauge. the wide band A/F gauge is...
