    Double Check My 5 Lug List.

    I would get a gasket for the rear cover instead of silicone. And what rear caliper brackets on the rear? Factory ones won't work, you'll need North Racecar units. You'll also probably want a bumpsteer kit.

    Does Base Timing Matter? 93 Lx 5.0

    FORGET the multiple spark per plug, that's a matter of milliseconds and a total non-issue. Are you reading the top edge of the pointer? Are you sure the balancer hasn't slipped?

    Please Help! Rebuilt T5 Problem

    I'm assuming that during the rebuild you replaced either 2nd gear, or the cluster? The number of teeth on 2nd gear changed over time, and while I'm not even sure it's possible to install a 31t gear in place of a 30t and vice-versa, I'm wondering if we're all about to find out.

    Does Base Timing Matter? 93 Lx 5.0

    Bumping the timing and removing the silencer were two significant power boosts some of these cars got before they even left the lot. 14-16 degrees of timing will really wake it up.

    2003-2004 Cobra Steering Rack Install

    Tie rods and tie rod ENDS are different. You're hearing to use Taurus tie rod ENDS on the Cobra rack. I wouldn't do that, because running changes in the aftermarket parts means the "taurus tie rod end" you get today may not be equivalent in every dimension as the ones people used to get years...

    Emissions Problem - Very High Hc

    ^this. Also, just cap the air tube lines on the cats and give 'er a go.

    2003-2004 Cobra Steering Rack Install

    You'll need to swap the tie rods themselves (not the outer tie rod ends) for Fox pieces because they SN95 tie rods are metric threaded, and too long. You'll need a hybrid steering shaft like MM sells to mate the "D" shaped fox-body steering shaft with the triangular input shaft on the SN95 rack...

    Progress Thread Nasty Ninety Notch

    yup. Crazy what such a tiny inexpensive thing can do. They've come WAY down in price since a few months ago too, IIRC.

    Progress Thread Nasty Ninety Notch

    I'd never run without cats again, testing or no testing. It's just not worth the stink.

    Progress Thread Nasty Ninety Notch

    I've posted about them here too, but I used an offroad H-pipe for years, and when I finally tired of the stink, I installed a pair of those little Magnaflow spun metallics. They knocked the stink right off, and I kicked myself for not doing it years sooner. And when I moved to an area with...

    Cater Camber Plates For Lowered Fox ?'s

    Not all CC plates create the extra bump travel required for lowered cars. MM's do. Your inner edge wear is NOT a camber problem. Camber is concentrating the wear that's caused by a toe problem, which is caused by an incorrect toe setting, or, more likely, worn inner tie rod ends, or...

    Couple Of Vids From A Night-time Road Course Event

    These night events aren't all that common, but this is Phoenix, and it's ****in' hot already, so the various organizations do what they can rather than sit on our hands til October. Track went live at 8 PM, done by 11 PM, and it was still running hot. Apologies in advance for the :poo:ty audio...

    On that course, probably close to 115 on the main straight.

    Parking Brake Handle Rattles...

    Classic. Some people slip an O-ring over the end of the button, some people wedge something between the handle and the seat, I think I remember some people putting a small screw through the end of the button just to add some weight and damp it...

    Brakes 4cyl To V8 Brakes.

    You'll need 1/4 inch worth of spacers on each spindle to fit the existing struts to the pad on the V8 spindle.

    Exhaust Exhuast Leak Between Headers And Hpipe

    Are you sure the nuts haven't just backed off or the studs stripped? They're likely 2-1/2 inch 7/16x14 bolts.

    Fox 19.5 With +22offset On Fox Body

    I haven't autocrossed in years and I've given up trying to figure out what wheels fit on foxbodies, but I do know the CP Mustang autox guys run ridiculously wide tires. I think they've figured out there's simply no replacement for section width as far as autocrossing a mustang goes, and their...
