    Hmmm, go MKIV?

    open a newspaper, everybody is hurting. Including the engineer that has you beat with 10 years experience... in all honesty, save the money. No sense over stretching a very small budget to be strapped down with payments on a personal loan with ADJUSTABLE rates. Getting a better frame a...

    ARP head stud problem

    two things... what tq value do you go to before loosening & re torquing? And the quote says on NEW hardware, why? i understood it to be the friction between the two surfaces. If they are reused, the same pre-load technique should apply, right/wrong?

    hooked up safc, running realy rich

    hooked up safc, running realy rich

    where did you get the knock signal wiring for that safc 1?? what color wires from the safc are hooked up to it? leave cruise alone, the tccs will handle it assuming everything is working as it should. im not sure how much it will muddy the waters if you adjust a single point at 800rpms for...
