Upgrading your brakes until you can lock them both up is the limit unless you use them constantly. Street cars, unless you live in the mountains or are Ricky Racer or are towing, don't have a heat problem because you are not constantly using them. Getting the coolest looking 8 piston caliper...

If you're going with a NA, why get a GTE motor?

Brake bias is more than how big the brake cylinders are. Brake bias is determined by dynamics of the car then the brake system is proportioned to match to maximize brake performance. At least thats the way is should be done. When you brake the weight of the car shifts forward (assuming you...

I used all the parts from another Turbo so all mine, including the TB and 3000 pipe are stock. I also used the stock intercooler, but later changed to a Sparco aftermarket one. The only hard pipes I have are the ones that came with the intercooler and run from the intercooler to the turbo...

I wouldn't get Maxtor hard drives. I have had 4 of them and 2 of them failed within the first two years of use. They're cheap and have good performance, but the reliability is very poor. I'm going with Seagates now. I hear their reliability is very good. In memory, I like Kingston. They're...

I don't know why you want to go with a 64 bit processor unless you either need the extra power or plan on running a 64 bit system. Either way a tower or desk top would be the way to go. 64 bit systems needs a 64 bit operating system, like Windows 64XP, which I don't believe is out yet unless...

Sounds like you have a short or somethings drawing too much current. But then you probably already know that. The tail fuse powers just about every acc. light there is. A couple of people this year were having problems with the tail circuit like you are. I didn't follow the threads too...

After 20+ years of owning cars, I've never been to a place to have my oil changed. I'm too picky on what oil and what filter I want to use, and too cheap to pay someone to do something I can do. I have friends who go to those lube places and they don't change the filter, or drip the oil into...

That's the place on Beach by the 22fwy?

You could splice back the cut connectors. Get an aftermarket wiring adapter for the car, http://66.167.3.133/millionbuy/mb_ai_inskit.jsp which comes with instructions that tell you which wires go to what. Or you can get the TSRM (the links some place on this site) and just splice in the...

Road and Track did a tire test on performance tires. The Yokohama AD07 tested significantly better in braking than any of the other tires. I've never used them, but since the tires are probably the deciding factor is most panic braking situations, I think I'm going to give it a try. I'd...

I'd be currious if your having AEM problems. My AEM is still in the box.

I've had mine since the end of October, 1986. It was my first new car.

I purchased a blue kit also. I'm not sure if its the same as smokey. Mine was a generic kit. It had hoses that the car never uses. Actually, I bought two kits because I didn't know if one would be enough. (I believe it was enough.)

Oh.. K & N filters and FIPKs are California smog legal. You should get a copy of the Exemption Order from the CARB site: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/devices/amquery.php Other manufacturers might be Cal legal too.

I believe the adapter at the AFM or MAF on the GE and GTEs are different. I had an HKS foam filter that no longer fits my NA. So I got a K & N FIPK (or what ever its called). Personally I would save a little money and just get an adapter to the MAF and buy an off the self K & N filter to fit...

I'm an original owner of a 1987 NA. It was the first new car I bought a few years after collage. Was going to get a mustang GT, but I saw one on the freeway one day and it really impressed me. I paid about 20K. I wanted the turbo with anti-lock, but it was 5K more and the insurance would be...

The cost/performance ration on ignition upgrades is not going to be very favorable. I heard the HKS CDI ignition is a good upgrade. But the cost/performance again not going to be very favorable. That's why I didn't do any. But everyone is different and its your cash.

Mine was trashed after doing the NA>T conversion. I had to buy one because the car was running real hot real fast at highway speeds. I can say that it runs a lot cooler with it on.

Just paid 3.25 for Chevron regular today. Yesterday I paid 3.07 for ARCO regular and 3.25 for Chevron diesel. I go to Chevron because I use my Chevron credit card. But today will be the last time I use my credit card for gasoline. I'm going to ARCO. Its at least 0.12 less a gallon than...
