    RK bushings feedback.

    Does anyone know what the Shore/hardness is on the bushings that they've used? Trying to find out what hardness has been used by the various manufacturers.

    DIY: Tail Lamp Failure Sensor Bypass GET YOUR TAIL AND/OR BRAKE LIGHTS BACK!

    Sounds like a short between the parking light power lead and the brake light lead. Dunno if it's in your TLFS or in the wire.

    question about the upper A-arms...

    Yes, got it- risk. I'm just saying I guess I got lucky, as the first time I removed all the upper A-arms and improperly torqued them was about 12 years and 140,000 miles ago. And yeah- I think you're right about the aftermarket items, because the inner sleeves look to be what locks up tight...

    question about the upper A-arms...

    Well, that's how it seemed to work to, yes. As for tearing the bushings, I'm surprised that I haven't- After replacing the springs/ struts years ago, I'm sure I torqued all of the A-arms down at a fully-extended position. However- the bushings looked fine when I checked them. Now what about...

    question about the upper A-arms...

    I was reinstalling them today, and the TSRM says to torque the A-arm pivot bolts once the suspension has the car's weight on it. I guess I'm wondering- do the A-arms actually move up and down in their suspension travel by pivoting along the pivot bolt, or do they simply move by flexing the bushings?

    The Official "FML" Thread

    My job hasn't called me for a single flight in 14 days, and I have yet to pay the mortgage. I leave my phone downstairs for 30 minutes today; I go down to get it- I see I've missed a call...from work. I call back and they say "sorry- we got someone else". I checked the missed-call timestamp...

    autozone spoiler

    Last time I was at Autozone, I bought 6qts synthetic, and they gave me the same spoiler free. I didn't install it, I just use it to hold my hatch open till I replace the hatch struts. Of course, If you buy the struts at Autozone, they offer you a free LED muffler tip to go with the wing, so...

    When you say plug and play- do you still need new harness clips like the RC's?

    New 5th gear for the R154 - how about a taller overdrive?

    I missed the mention of which rear end this was being tested on- a 3.73? If so, a 2400rpm @70mph would translate to roughly what w/ a 3.89 rear? Nice work by the way guys.

    negative Rear Camber after Lowering???

    I would guess so, yes. I was thinking I must be taking retard pills when I read the earlier posts about lengthening the arms, because that seemed to me to be the wrong direction, and I figured I HAD to be wrong, but just couldn't figure out why. Anyway, When I had my car lowered onto Eibach's...

    Boost_victim's Build thread

    I went Felpro w/ ARP's for a year and a half, around 12 psi on stock CT, no problems. I guess it depends on what kind of power you're going to demand from the motor.

    Transmission won't shift!

    I've had a slave cylinder go bad in a Z, and it would only suck in air if I tried shifting at high rpm. Wierd.

    Constantly Popping The EFI 15A Fuse

    Bingo- That happened to me as well. I was driving, and the motor just shuts off. I coast to the side of the highway(this happened twice to me by the way) and find the EFI fuse blown. 3 fuses later, she still blows them. The car cools down for 15 minutes, and starts right up. The second time, I...

    Flywheel bolts keep backing off...

    Good morning. I dunno- Maybe that's the problem, but I've not heard many cases where the FW bolts do that. Is it possible that the threading in the crank is loose? Does anyone know if it'd be possible to have a shop drill some ARP's and safety wire them?
