    Facime's Mk2 build

    good god that wiring is scary... Looks like you're doing what I would be doing and going though the entire car with a fine toothed comb trying to find all of the "mods" the previous owner did... Also, I think it's Dodge that has a carbon deposit cleaner that you pull the sparkplug out and...

    Jaguar_5's 87 Turbo Build

    Jag: I dunno why, but the tranny plugs always seem to sieze... I used a jack under the wrench to loosen it, it sure beats busting your knuckles or fighting for leverage under the car...

    Suppose I'll vent if you dont mind...

    OK, I'll vent then. I drive 30 minutes to work, Texas heat, crappy traffic, and no A/C... Oh, it gets better... A/C at work is working...but not well so it's a nice 80 degrees and humid as hell. I sweat ALL DAY.

    Modified Exhaust Law?!?

    Modified Exhaust Law?!?

    Not true. Don't change the laws, just make them have CLEAR measurements to be able to test. Without that, it's a bullshit law, and all but unenforcable if you go to court.

    Thanks, I would do this through PM< but I think it will benefit everyone. Also, I have the main rebuild kit, should I also get the shaft seal kit?

    So where's all the weight???

    The front lower A-arms look to weigh a lot, those could be remade out aluminum or just a tubular constuction. The spindals front a rear have got to weigh a ton, but I doubt you could remake them in any cost effective manner...
