    whats the best way to remove a broken screw ..

    that sounds like a recipie for melting or cracking your upper intake. you can try a bolt extractor, but my guess is if you broke the head off while trying to take it off...its not coming out easily. you will most likely have to drill and tap. or you could do what someone else wanted to do...

    2 threds into one. what do you guys think? and spacers

    There are some different lugs you can get, I forget what they call them though...shoulder lugs? thats not it, but the idea is they have a longer bottom section and go deeper through the wheel. and you are right wiisass, I didnt think about the friction factor. Bottom line for me though is...

    general rebuild questions, crank scoring, etc.

    Im not an expert on internals but let me offer this advise at least. Use a little wd40 and spray down your cylinder walls when the block is sitting around like that. It will inhibit the surface rust. Also if you get a big hefty trash bag, wrap up the block even while it sits on the stand. It...

    2 threds into one. what do you guys think? and spacers

    are they hubcentric spacers? If so then there is nothing to worry about. If not then you have all the shearing force resting on the lugs. Not something I would want if I was autocrossing or road coursing, but probably ok for daily driving.

    my 84 turbo z31 had the digidash and the bitchin betty. I really liked that car and betty always drew amusment from passengers. It was too bad you couldnt customize the voices. I also liked the digidash on my GP and only wish was that I had the HUD with it.

    Facime's Mk2 build

    Yeah, I had planned to have it painted professionally. I was going to do the whole nose including the header panel which is terribly pitted, but the night I fixed the bad flex plate I came inside to a dead computer monitor. I had to spend the $200 I had for painting on a replacement :( I...
