    Don't try to save missed shifts!

    Never heard of misaligning a PP. The locate pins usually do a great job of keeping everything in line. Maybe those sheared off? Usually a bad shift that causes damage is confined to the gearbox itself, but I have seen some pressure plates explode (did so myself on my 67 Chevelle, turning the...

    OMG it's finished!!!!

    I wanted to paint my RA21 that color. Also agree the satin black hood would be nice. Its really a nice job, I like the factory look of the intake and the overall clutterless bay, and just the right amount of bling for my tastes. Congrats on finishing, now spend some time enjoying it.

    Getting a new suspension need suggestions

    Im suprised no one else mentioned em, but I really liked my ST springs. I though they had the perfect amount of drop, a reasonable DD springrate and were cheap. Just another option.

    Dealing With The Loss Of A Friend

    My Condolences to you and to his family and friends. Its never easy to lose someone, even harder when it seems senseless and random. Life is fragile. I faced my own mortality years ago behind the handlebars of a streetbike and fortunately lived to tell about it. You havent passed on any...

    Good Idea, Is there Interest Targa Strut bar:

    I thought about doing sub-frame connectors back when I was doing targa braces. But wouldnt they need to be welded in for maximum effect? That would exclude it from a do-it-yourselfer job. It would be a good discussion item but I dont want to derail his thread.

    Good Idea, Is there Interest Targa Strut bar:

    Wasnt Jayhall recently talking about doing a targa brace as well? He owns a WeezLWing but I think he too wants something that fits in with the top on. The so called "X-Brace" (of which I believe only 4 exist) was made so that it was installed under the targa. It required some amount of...

    88 Turbo Old Man Project Car

    Ive done head porting before and unless you are looking to change the shape of the chambers or do some radical race port its not a big deal. in a nutshell you need a die grinder and some carbide bits/grinding stones/sanding wheels. Start by taking a fresh gasket and placing it squarely on the...

    Good Idea, Is there Interest Targa Strut bar:

    a couple have been made and there is still probably a market for them. Alot of guys seem to want one that stays in place when the targa is on. I never came up with a solution to that problem, if you can then Im sure it would be a hit. Good Luck.
