    Clunk, bang, pop, etc

    Does the stock IRS setup have a pinion snubber of some kind? I recently had the diff cover re-sealed under warranty, and now I'm getting a nice clunk -- pretty much when it used to clunk, but instead of merely hearing it, I can feel the clunk through the chassis. And I also get a weird vibe...

    Write-up for differential cover re-seal?

    I've been hunting around, but my search skillz are failing me. Has anybody got a write-up on how to re-seal the differential cover? A live axle is trivial to work on, but I gather that the IRS makes this one significantly more of a PITA to work on. It's still under warranty, but I've been...

    Stock clutch strength vs. aftermarket?

    I have in my posession an MMR RBT525 clutch, which is "rated" at 525 horsepower. Is there any way to gauge how the holding ability of this clutch compares to the stock clutch? I don't currently have trouble with the stock clutch slipping, what I want is something that doesn't chatter like a...

    Is this the right way...

    After reading a lot of posts here, I've got a plan. Well, most of a plan at least. I've never done anything more than garden variety waxing & a clay bar, never even used a buffer, so I'm a newbie at this. I bought a Porter Cable 7424 buffer, and the buffing pad starter kit from SMP (one...

    Wideband Commander installed

    Installation was not hard at all. In addition to the documentation with the WBC, I used the "Wilson & Co" how-to (for the PDF, click here). I have only hooked up the sensor and gauge at this point, I am going to wait until after Christmas to tap into the EEC harness for TPS & RPM...

    boost gauge malfunctioning?

    I just installed an Autometer boost gauge (30 vac to 20 boost). It reads 6 psi of boost when the engine is off. :cuss: Is there a way to calibrate it, or is it defective? Dave

    "Black chrome" wheels

    Anybody have the "black chrome" AFS wheels (03 Cobra replica, 18x9)? Got a pic? Especially on a redfire Cobra :). I'm thinking about picking up a set. Lowering my car is not really an option, so I'm hoping the 18's will offset the 4x4 look a little. Dave

    Dynojet Wideband Commander

    I have a couple of questions for those who are using this. 1. Are you using it with any gauge other than the one supplied with the kit? Which gauge? 2. Have you tried to match any existing Autometer gauges to the one supplied with the DJWBC kit? I just ordered a DJWBC, and I want to...

    Where to get 12v under the dash

    I'm hooking up a powered rearview mirror, and need to find me some 12v switched power (that is, only on when the ignition is on). Anybody already gone through a similar experience and have a good wire to latch on to? I need something near the fuse panel. Dave

    Billetflow idler wobble

    I bought a Billetflow idler (just the single pulley setup) today. When I installed it, I noticed that when it spins it wobbles back and forth every revolution about a millimeter altogether -- it's not loose, it's like the bearing isn't pressed in straight or something. Am I correct in assuming...

    Bolt, or plastic cap?

    When I swapped the pulley on my Cobra, there was a bolt, not a plastic cap, in the center. Anybody else have a bolt instead of the cap? Dave

    Ground clearance with aftermarket mid-pipes?

    I want to lower my car, but I notice that the lowest thing to the ground are the cats and the mid-pipe to cat-back flange. I also notice that there seems to be *plenty* of room above these pipes. So my question -- do any of the aftermarket pipes tuck up into the tunnel a little better to...
