    Cables,…..Handles. Have you seen my interior? Do you honestly think I’m gonna put some “ handle“ anywhere in that console?

    No, I liken burnouts to a weekend spent on a coke binge. it seemed like it was fun while you were doing it, only afterwards you realize that you just threw away hundreds of dollars for nothing, and you feel like sht for doing it.

    Well…. Im exactly in the same place I was in late April…. With very few “ tolerable” exceptions, I have a very near perfect completed monster again. I drove that thing about 150 miles on Saturday. It cold starts perfectly by priming the engine twice. It immediately settles into a dead steady...

    I had one. The same HF unit you have pictured there. And for the same reasons that you are now coming to terms with, chose never to use it except only on easiest of joints. A compound twisting intersect point like the one you have pictured is a sure fire opportunity to completely ruin some steel...

    Wherever you read that info about a 1/2” deck thickness causing overheating issues and increasing the potential for blown head gaskets is facebook group crap. The added thickness increases the rigidity of the head, and REDUCES the likelihood of a blown head gasket. ( not that youll ever have to...

    For those of you who are unfamiliar with the movie franchise “ The hills have eyes”, It’s a typical gore filled movie from the early 2000’s remade from a late 70’s movie of the same name, involving typically stupid victims being chased, killed, and eaten by mutant cannibals living in the desert...

    **Need Help With Rebuild - Please Read**

    like Noobz said. If the kit stips a 28oz imbalance, everything you use is 28 oz. The only thing that raises a question to me is that you’ve already had them bore the engine w/o a piston to reference off of. Maybe it’s an old wives tale, or an unnecessary step, ….it’s just that every time I’ve...

    In retrospect ….After thinkin about it… All I did was clean the circuit board, and re-do the grounds. Whichever fixed it, I’m glad it’s done.As stated earlier, the rear tail light wiring is now a jug fck. That’ll be something for another day. As for now,….in the present,…..I’m driving it.

    At about 4pm After bleeding and bleeding the brakes system, I put the car on its tires to test that, and to determine as to whether the other things that bug me have changed. The pedal is soft, but i can safely stop the car. I roll out of the driveway, and let the thing warm up as I drive. I...

    Whether this was yet another one of my wasted time projects, I’ll know soon enough …. I now have one of the two brake projects complete. This lever valve will allow me to manually lock rear brake pressure to serve as a park brake. It seems like it’ll work, ( at least it does in the air)…but...

    Still doesn’t change the fact that the ”bracket” in question here was: A. included with the reservoir, and B. still just a piece of 1” steel bar with 3 holes in it and a 90* bend on one end…..

    I really think you are obsessing way too much over the equivalent of a flat piece of steel with three holes and a 90* bend at the bottom. :nonono: That would’ve been in and out of my vise, beat over with a hammer, smoothed with a file, sanded w/an angle grinder, and finished in rattle can satin...

    Well those wheels are no more…they got sold off when the current versions arrived. MOF, the wheels I’ve linked above are out just as quickly as they were in. Unbeknownst to me ( because it’s been so long since I ordered them), my front wheels have the same backspace as an SN 95 wheel. My...

    The other wheels I had on the car originally were torque thrusts..I mistakenly painted them green-gold. Waaay too much green. Those got blasted and repainted black an orange..

    Thinking about buying this car

    It might be diff It might be too difficult ( if not impossible) to buy a car from some southern US region, and drive it back into Canada, but at 15k just for for a decent version, It’d be worth the plane ticket, and the 3 day drive to get it back. That goes the same for guys in the US. It cost...

    Yeah,……..forgot about that. For whatever benefit anybody gets from that in a street driven car, the IRS swap isn’t worth the wheel choice limitation in my book.
