    newb here

    welcome- dont worry about lpfsthefett my lil ol' 5.0 walked him at norwalk. ...after he sat at the light for 3 seconds ;-)
  2. v8rx7forum.com or grannyspeedshop.com grannys has all the diagrams and wiring instructions you need on their website. Edited well in a quick perusal I could only find the 2nd gen rx7 5.0 swap... hmmm it must be there.
  3. be sure to contact artsperformanceparts.com before you buy- tell him you are a corral member and call stangsuspension.com and tell them the same...
  4. Hey guys, Reading Mustang Performance Handbook 2 it suggests I put my car up on a frame rack to check it for trueness before going crazy with the suspension/chassis.... I did the cross measurements before I bought it and put sfc's, torqueboxes on a week later but this may be more accurate.. Anyone know how to go about doing this?
  5. This is an elegant brass and glass chandelier that was removed from my mother's house. It cost a fortune when she bought it but as we have nowhere to put it we would like it gone. Asking 100.00- It measures around 36" from Ceiling and 33" in diameter. http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj162/hpfiend/chandelier.jpg
  6. squid season? I am not trying to be the fastest on two wheels- I bet a 250cc bike would scare the pants off of me- just looking for a sporty bike for a project to play with and then sell. Thanks! Andrew
  7. cool wasn't aware of this--- add sv650 vtwin to the list... thanks kinkinhood.
  8. Which year dave? Bullit? Mach1? Cobra? S03 pole positions? I am not familiar?
  9. LOL. From an AWD subiedubie guy no less.
  10. Thanks for the new replies- twisted focus- are the koni SAs the koni yellows? A buddy of mine has those on his fox coupe and he said the lightest setting possible is still a little harsh for the street?
  11. thanks guys- that will save me a bit of money short of the torque arm problem down the road.... Andy- I don't know about AGX's but I know the KYB GR2s absolutely are not impressive as that is what I have now with linear "c" springs and the ride is abominable at best. A lot of corner carver snobs say kybs are only good for collecting pond scum on the bottom of a river. Strange I have heard to be good for drag racing but they have a unique diameter so a lot of people have strange (pun not intended) clunking sounds when used with most caster camber plates. 120 each or 120 a pair? 240.00 for the front end only sounds quite high to me for those... Bilsteins are not much more than that.
  12. I do not want a vtwin because IMHO they sound terrible. I also do not know if they are capable of 10-12K rpm without vibrating apart??? I know very little about bikes but a black/chrome harley davidson is the farthest thing I could imagine from what I would want in a bike and I am pretty sure a lot if not all of those have v-twins.
  13. I actually dont think it looks that bad but I am not a bike guy yet and I will ignorantly admit most all of them look the same to me at this point ;-)
  14. +1 on the gears and depending on usage you may want a cobra/explorer 31 spline setup double packed instead of the eaton- they are cheaper and quieter for street operation. The eaton is superior as far as durability and traction but it also makes a ratcheting/binding sound in unloaded low speed turns. I have one btw is how I know-
  15. hey guys- To pay over 500 for a set of bilstein HD struts and shocks or ~250 for a set of Tokico HP struts and shocks)????? I think the ideal would be a sit of lightly used bilsteins for 350-400 but so far that has been tough to find and you lose the lifetime warranty both types of shocks come with if you buy used. Looking to put H&R Sport (not super sports) (490-575 progressive front springs and 205-250 progressive rear springs) on my fox coupe. Maximum Motorsports pairs these springs with tokico hp shocks in their sport box kit. However, other than the lighter springs (they use h&r race 750-850 front 260-280 rear) I plan on about everything else in the road and track kit that they supply with bilstein hds. I doubt I will go to the expense of coilovers down the road but may go with a torque arm for more traction and it has some stiffer rear springs that go with it (H&R 390-430# which almost maxes out bilstein rear shocks and is too stiff for tokicos) The torque arm may be overkill though as I know nothing about suspensions and am definitely putting a panhard bar on. This car is 99% street driven and I am not about to take onramps at 100 or anything anytime soon just want something with a little sportier handling- if it really shines I may take it to an autox or two for fun.
  16. Cbr600 or cbr750 you say? I don't want a v-twin engine... 4 cylinder please. Thanks! Andrew
  17. Can't say I don't appreciate that vid... thanks for posting.
  18. Are you setting this thing up for drag racing?
  19. I would agree with the others- you have more mods than you know phil- no way does a stock lt1 trap 109. I think you may already have a cam/rockers
  20. wow- I thought they were the same car less intake and blower- live and learn.
  21. Exactly, and add to that making sure you have the proper bottle pressure, and traction on the street is worthless due to the enormous torque load this is why I went with a small blower this time around- my LT1 f-body had the juice and I hated it after a while- I say sell off your aftermarket mods to offset the cost of the shortblock- take it back to stock and start saving for an 03 cobra intake and blower-
  22. Hey all, Anyone know anything bad or good about this vehicle? Thinking about picking one up. Thanks! Andrew
  23. hmm- indian head thats a new one- I am going to google that- Thanks!
  24. Are you talking about the dark grey GM sticky stuff? I am pretty sure I used that on my LT1 and it sealed it right up.
