I've got the tools to do it. This car has officially hit ghey. I was so happy til 30 minutes ago.

Trying to replace the rear pads on the wifes Mazda 6 and the piston wont retract all the way. We've taken the reservoir cap off, pulled the ebrake, and tried to twist it back in but wont go all the way. We need another 3/8 to 1/2 inch but it wont budge. Any ideas guys. Thanks ERIK

Um, I kinda like them a little.

And???? Pics please.

Why not put them on the car just to see. After all it is your car...

PM me an email address and I'll shoot it to you.

Yeah I'm gonna need to find one. I'm totally fine with my fab skills, but that is a big hole.

WE WANT THE TREES TO KNOW THAT WE CARE!!! I want trees to know that given the chance I will cut you down and burn you.

Oh, I'm sure I could come up with a copy for ya.:ninja: Jegs may still sell them, but I have no idea. He made some of the original 3-bolt cut outs sold. Then everyone else copied him.

LOL, my nephew's is the same color. Creepy but hey I keep telling him I didn't have a choice in the color. And it's got Evo wheels too.

Now you made made me go look for it. This'll make for good "office" material in about an hour. http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/IMAG0345.jpg

God I am old. There was a guy who wrote a short book in 92 or 93. He was local too. How to: 11 second e.t. He took an F-body 406, 750 vac sec, th-350, 3.73 gears, no spray and ran 11-ohs.

This. I can't imagine they'd be too spendy on it.

50 years of development is not different. It's a proven platform. With the duration on that cam you'll keep the timing under or at 28* on 93, you may have to spike it a bit. That and have a slow advance curve in it. (Gonna rile the mob here) Out of the box the Gen 3's are a better motor, but with similar dollars spent a gen 1 with modern heads, induction, and valvetrain will post comparable numbers.

If you're shooting for 400+, be prepared to have the heads cleaned up. It's a decent head out of the box, but there is a lot left on the table with them. Even at 11.8 I'm gonna say you'll hit 430ish maybe 450 on a perfect tune. Run a Performer Air Gap intake, go with a solid lifter cam. With modern lobe profiles the way they are there will be very little adjusting on them. Even with a ton of street driving. Stick with a Flat top, or dished piston. With the smaller Combustion Chamber size, Zero deck the block, get it line honed, .039 HG like a Fel Pro 1010. Run a piston like this: 9.7:1 http://www.kb-silvolite.com/kb_car/performance.php?action=details&P_id=94 or 11:1 http://www.kb-silvolite.com/kb_car/performance.php?action=details&P_id=99 This cam will do well. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-12-663-47/

Friend said 180 for the springs and retainers and the injectors. Thats a good deal. I would do it. This is james BTW.

First to ac'use Gape of being Homo.

http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/JOnesmod.jpg Actually I did manage to do something either productive or counter productive yesterday. I sold the turbo, O2 housing, fuel pump, MAF sensor. I guess there are others that felt what was on there was not going to cut it for me. This s going to get real ugly real quick.

I'm thinkin it was this car. Watch the exhaust.

Gimme gimme. # in sig. I need something to move parts around on.

Awesome job man. 86 is a huge number. '11 I'm gonna hit it hard to down 60. I need to. + rep for you.

The bike or just like? Either way super cool.
