    Thinking about an S2000

    ^^^^ Good find! Now you won't ever have to worry about not having low end torque. :D Mike

    Thinking about an S2000

    I have a '06 S2000. Definitely the most focused and one of the best engineered cars I have ever owned. The "fun" factor is hard to beat in the S and on the track, the car shines. On the street, the lack of torque can be very annoying, but on the track you won't miss it, the car is always in...

    Parts/upgrades, difference between 87-93, 86?

    The engine questions are to cure my curiousity. However, I am interested in adding roller rockers, new valve springs, and push rods. Are there any problems with 1.7 or 1.72 ratio rockers and the special '86 heads and valve cover clearance? Which rockers work? Is Ford my only source for valve...

    Parts/upgrades, difference between 87-93, 86?

    ^^^^^ What makes the cams not compatible with speed density? Which cam is the E-cam and why does it work at times? One of the reasons I don't want to convert to mass air is because it would complicate the purchase of a KB. Thanks, Mike

    Parts/upgrades, difference between 87-93, 86?

    Thanks for the info guys, it really helps me understand this car much better. Gerzen, thanks for the link. What I don't comprehend regarding the engine, is that they say "complete" engines are for 87-93. I would think that with a complete engine there would be no problem with dropping it in...

    Parts/upgrades, difference between 87-93, 86?

    Since buying my '86 GT early this month I have been looking at different sources for parts and upgrades. I notice that most of these parts are for the 87-93 year models. Heck, even Ford Racing engines are for 87-93? What is the difference? Especially concerning suspension and brakes, as...

    Good lord, cars are fast now!

    Agreed. My old '05 STi turned [email protected] with only a CF driveshaft, custom decklid (had to get rid of the stupid wing), Brakeman lightweight brake kit, Bride Zetta III racing seats, and a lightweight crank pulley. Heck, my old '03 Miata LS did 13.56@102 with a BRP MP62 supercharger and Track...

    R12 freeon or R134??

    If you have a healthy A/C system in the car now, yes. I was a little concerned when they charged mine because the previous owner said it had not worked in years. Luckly, my system had no leaks after the conversion and did very well on the vacuum check and other procedures they perform when...

    Seat removal on my '86.

    I know this should be a simple task. I have searched. However, I'm having an issue with the front bolts/nuts securing the front seats. The bolt/stud is spinning when I try to remove the 15mm nut. I'm new to the car and I am unsure if this is in fact, a bolt or a stud and how I can gain...

    R12 freeon or R134??

    I just performed the R134 conversion on my '86. I bought the conversion kit for about $40 and installed it myself (not difficult.....a couple fittings and some seals). Then I had a shop charge it for another $40. Like others have said, it does not blow as cold as R12, but it works well, at...

    Flywheel: ready to install or balance?

    A little use of the search button goes a long way, I answered my own question. I found that a stock stroke 5.0 needs a 50oz balance and I looked at the box for the flywheel, it states the flywheel is balanced at 50oz. Mike

    Flywheel: ready to install or balance?

    I purchased a new Ford Racing billet steel flywheel from PAW. Is this flywheel ready to install or do I need to have it balanced? Mike
