I don't think it will do all that much changing the length of both at the same time, but preloading the bar (one shorter link/one longer link) will have an affect...not sure if it would be a positive one though...

angle iron, a drill press, and a mig welder will solve that problem for you... (pretty sure this is the correct picture...but I can't see it at work...)

I've got the whitelines on my car; however, I can't really comment on their performance as the car has yet to see the road. I'd say you could stop by and have a look at them, but there isn't a whole lot to see. I picked mine up from raptor racing as well.

the majority of 89 cars I've seen are like this (two of my own, and another 4 or 5 local cars). I think the round mount 89s are pretty rare.

I can actually say yes to that now...should be another 2-3 days of work and it will be ready to drive into storage for the winter...:)

shaftmasters has got a lightweight two piece driveshaft... I considered a lightweight driveshaft, but for now, i've decided the stocker will do. This car is all about the oem drivability and reliability.

couple more pictures, got the driveshaft and new carrier bearing in, as well as bled the clutch system and torqued some random bolts. The end result, a few hand scrapes and a torque wrench dropped on the face. Yes, that's the stock driveshaft. I'll sacrifice some rotating weight for the...

nah, not really. the bottom portion is already mounted to the head, all I have to do is finish up the tubing section which bolts to the lower section.

An update of the last couple days. As can be seen from the picture below, the engine is finally in the car. What a pain in my ass. After realizing the hoist boom wasn't long enough and having to remove the bumper support/intercooler/oil cooler, the hydraulic cylinder on the engine hoist we...

I think I've had 4 tickets, all photo radar, all more than 4 years ago. to the OP, what the fuck is the matter with you?

back in the day, most of us only changed the pipes because there wasn't the huge influx of cheap chinese made intercoolers available...forcing us to either shell out >$1000 or keep the stocker.

see, sometimes the best solutions are also the simplest...instead of (which doesn't even exist...) or

it is extremely easy to solder wires onto the circuit panel...all you really have to do is solder one wire...the others can be attached to existing screws with ring terminals. this post has a few pics of what i did...(if i remember correctly...i'm at work and can't see photobucket pics)...

sounds like it could be stepper motor noise from the ebc...power the ebc off and see if the noise remains.

according to spec, these pins are an assembly aid and are not necessary...i guess we'll see how long this pressure plate holds up...

my only advice would be to be prepared to ruin a few manifolds before putting one together correctly. Aluminum isn't particularly easy to weld, and the fact that it is cast doesn't help matters (due to the porosity). It is extremely easy to burn through, especially if you are used to welding...

yep, thats it. engine to filters to thermostat to cooler to the thermostat and back to the engine. when the thermostat is in bypass, the circuit turns into: engine to filters to thermostat to engine.

well great, this looks like another delay! It looks like I'll be in touch with spec first thing monday morning....

I'll get some more pictures once I drop the engine in the car... As far as the EGR is concerned, I just need to put together some new piping, machine a flange, and braze it all together The MK4 manifold was by no means an easy part to put on the car...there was quite a bit of hand-machining...

an update: I should have had the engine in the car today, but upon installing my clutch, i noticed that the spec pressure plate is missing 3 pretty crucial rivets. Aside from this, recently, the following has been done to the car: New oil seals front and rear Enlarged oil pan +12V fuel pump...
