  1. I'll check the car out. PM me your address and we'll set something up.
  2. Damn that sucks. Dunno if I want to do all that or not.
  3. Hey Dave, what exactly was the problem with the wiring? You can PM me that if you want. Interested.
  4. I'd say get the ZO6. Granted you might get the cobra faster cheaper, but the ZO6 'feels' like a sports car more than the cobra imo. Interior wraps around you and you sit much lower to the road, not to mention the handling. Either way you can't lose.
  5. Yes, it's Driveline 1 on Frank Rd. Cool guys in there and the white pitbull roxors111!
  6. How is that tennis game? Any good, or does it get boring after a few?
  7. Yeah I don't want everyone to think all Firestones are bad, especially if it effects a CR member. Just wanted to warn people about this particular one smile.gif
  8. That's just it. It didn't throw a code for a crank sensor, which would make you look elsewhere usually, unless the car didn't start. Her fuel filter is about $17-20 retail, and ALL-DATA shows 20mins labor, and that's on the lazy side. We know you can get it in 10min or so, depending on the lines and such. I hope the new manager going in over there (if he's not already) does a better job. I admit the ladies car was a tricky situation, but that's no excuse to charge her almost $400 for basically lying to her and changing her fuel filter.
  9. What are these pushrods you speak of?
  10. Nice car. He later took it to the track and ran a 12.90
  11. Normally I don't make comments like this but I can't help it on this. Just trying to warn people. We get this lady that comes into the shop to check her car out 93 T-bird 3.8. The car would run good for a few minutes then run like crap the next, then run good again. She show us reciepts from Firestone in Reynoldsburg. They charged her $100 to hook up a scanner to her car. Then charge her another $100 to put on a fuel filter! Yes for a fuel filter on the frame. That didn't fix the problem, so they said it ran like that because of carbon on the pistons She got a bill of like $388 for basically hooking up a scanner, a new fuel filter, and poor info. Ended up the harmonic balancer was broke, but inside the timing case cover on the crank. The balancer has a gear which is used to see timing on the engine and it would read correct when the broke parts would come together then read incorrect when it spun around again. To sum it up, Firestone in Reynoldsburg has no clue what they are doing and charge people like they do have a clue graemlins/thumbsdown.gif

  13. Welcome to the vonderful vorld of the interweb smile.gif I'm not suprised at all.
  14. Need this for my 89 240sx. Has to be 5-spd. Need a driveshaft also if you have one. PM or post here if you've got one, thanks. [ 06. January 2005, 11:30 PM: Message edited by: SHIEF ]
  15. Where do you live? Post or PM me an address so I can Mapquest it, and I might stop out tonight still if it's not to far away. Got a Inger rated 1000ft.lbs of breaking. Or a big ass torque wrench to break it if that doesn't work.
  16. Check fuses and relays to start. There is a box with relays under your air box tubes. If both are good with all fuses and relays, I'd try a different ECU. I can give you one to try if you have a sohc.
  17. ssautochrome = the win....er wait
  18. GT4 is only for PS2 isn't it? Will it ever come out on Xbox?
  19. Cool. 85-86 and older break or bend valves when it goes boom.
  20. Looks great man. Keep us updated on it.
