My car runs like poop on those two. Between being a vert, 6pt roll bar and all the other weight adding...

    anyone use the duplicolor paint system

    do it just like jrichker stated. i used it on all the exterior trim pieces..plastic and metal, and so far so good. finished sanded with 400 grit. i used the etching primer, and the clear paint adhesion. temperature and humidity are a major factor in the outcome. it tells you on the can when to...

    Do I really need a bumpsteer kit?

    update on the bumpsteer issue. I installed offset poly rack bushings today and I definitely felt a difference. the steering feels much more solid and now I know what bumpsteer feels like. when I hit a dip on the freeway, the frontend doesn't get all wishy washy. it just keeps going straight and...

    Do I really need a bumpsteer kit?

    what exactly does bumpsteer feel like? i've lowered my 86 vert 1.5" in front and have no cc plates and to me it handles superb. it gets driven alot on twisty mountain roads, and the only difference i feel from before i lowered it is that it's on rails. like a slot car. so any insight would be...

    starter randomly not engaging

    i assume the tooth is on the starter? and what are these "shims"? i didn't install the starter and am not familiar with them. if these shims were off, wouldn't this problem have started from the beginning? and of course now it has been working perfect:crazy:
