    Clutch slippage

    Most parts you purchase from ABC or the like come with a lifetime warranty - I save all of my receipts in my filing cabnet. The previous owner may have changed the clutch disc but not the pressure plate or flywheel. It is very possible for the pressure plate and flywheel to wear down far...

    gasket discussion

    many times I dont use a gasket at all- only the FIPG. When selecting your gasket sealant you need to read the package and see if it is safe for the type of gasket you are using it on. Some are not oil resistant....... A light coating on both sides of the gasket is good - just light enough so you...

    Suspension Issue

    What kind of torque wrench are you using (needle-point, break away, digital)? Do you have a universal or "wobbley" attatched to an extension? Are you using a crows foot? Are you setting the torque wrench to foot pounds or newton? Are you holding the back of the wrench or applying all of the...

    Please explain about CT-26 upgrade (+)

    disced - the hp numbers you listed look appropriate for a flywheel hp rating, but realistically, I think the most REAR WHEEL power anybody is going to get out of a ct upgrade is ~400 without nitrous and thats with a serious tune. The ct housing is simply too restrictive. MR. Y - I think that...

    front facing intake manifold + stock throttle body, help!?

    you dont need to change the direction of anything. All you need to do is weld an extension into the pushrod and weld an extension to the ball on the TB that the pushrod connects to. The stock throttle cable will work with the stock throttle linkage and still allow the use of the stock cruise...

    A 88 Turbo Virgin here. Please help.

    wow dude you got a smoking deal. The Vein pressure converter alone is at least 500 bucks. I think your problem lies in the VPC - (or Fuel controller) it is probably set too rich and you have too much gas going into your engine. The best way to correct this is to purchase a wideband oxygen sensor...

    Why is my cooling fan so loud?

    the fan clutch will make a lot of noise when it fails - it will steal a little bit of power too. Purchase one from ABC auto or somewhere else with a lifetime warranty on the part. I had one fail after one year - save your receipt.

    Lexus AFM question.

    I tuned my 57 trim ct ubgrade to 365rwhp with no screw in the lex before I would hit FCO. Screw the lex, I would just go with the MAFT and a 3" GM sensor. Built in FCD and the ablility to set it up in blow through mode.

    brake problems

    I would pump out all that old brake fluid for some new stuff. Having two people to help you (one to pour, one to pump) will help a lot.

    10 PSI ATE my new stock clutch

    thats not your clutch dude A clutch will spin at higher gears if its bad because it has less of a mechanical advantage on the back wheels. Lower gears like first and second will only spin the clutch when it is totally fucked. If you are accellerating normally in third, fourth and especially...
