    Choosing tires.

    My n/a needs tires bad, Currently it has 3 Bfgoodrich Traction T/A's and one Toyo Proxes 4 (previous owner blew out one of the Bfg's). The Bfg's are toast, the edges wore off a long time ago and now they are down past the wear bars in the centers.. pretty crappy tires if you ask me. I don't...

    Acis.

    So after some reading im pretty positive that my ACIS system isn't working right. When I first got the car it pulled smooth all the way to 6500, now I can feel an increase in power at around 4000rpm, mainly in 1st and 2nd gear at WOT, I noticed a loss in Low end power a long time ago but didn't...

    Coolant problems.

    I can't get the air out of my cooling system. The car just wont get warm enough for the thermostat to open fully with the rad cap off, it opens for 2 seconds then shuts.. I've sat there with it at 3500rpm for 10 minutes and it still wont fully open and dump, If I drive it with the cap on it...

    Clutch Pedal Problem

    My clutch pedal is getting "stuck" when I release it, it doesn't spring back up through the free play in the pedal, I can easily pull it back with my foot but its really annoying and it just started doing this. The Master cyl is newer, no idea on the slave, the pedal assembly itself is a bit...

    Well, I always thought it was super raspy and had a bit of a buzz to it.. well turns out my manifold was cracked at the flange before the catalytic converter. Welded it up today and its like a night and day difference, sounds way better, way quieter. I also found out it moved around enough that...

Just...
