    Switching from Billetflow to Metco Idlers, will it change belt size needed?

    I'm considering changing over to the 4 piece dual bearing Metco's from my 4 piece Billetflow idlers. Couple questions I have: 1. Are the Metco pulleys the same size as the Billetflows? 2. Will switching out the Billetflow idler bracket for the Metco one cause my belt size to change or can I...

    Billetflow Pulley - Anodized vs. Hard Anodized

    I'm getting ready to replace my 4 Billetflow idler pulleys as they have some pretty deep scoring. My current silver pulleys were bought back in '05 and I've heard they were not anodized back them. The newest generation of silver pulleys now have anodizing however it's not the hard anodizing that...

    Belt Squeak - Need Part #

    During cold start my belt squeaks pretty bad. I did the water spray test and the squeak goes away instantly then comes back in 10 seconds. Spray it again and it goes away temporarily then comes back. After 10-15 minutes the noise goes about 90% away....sometimes it will squeak between shifts...

    Motor Shot at Only 15K Miles

    Thought I had a bad throwout bearing. Took it to the shop and put a new HD Ford bearing in along with a new clutch. When I got it back still had the same problem. At cold startup I would hear chirping with car in neutral. After 5 minutes it would fade. However if I pushed the clutch in it would...

    New Clutch and TOB But Still Chirps

    Had some problems with the TOB chirping so I decided to replace it and have a new clutch put in at the same time. After getting it back the TOB still chirps when cold for about 5-10 minutes then goes away. At startup chirping occurs both with clutch in or out. After a few minutes it starts...

    A ride in Sambandits Cobra...

    My car is in the shop in Denver and Scott was nice enough to meet me halfway down to Colorado Springs to pick up my Gords HE that just came in. Anyway, when we met up he offered to take me for a ride....wow his car is a blast! I can't wait to get mine back since I'm getting pretty similar mods...

    Base Dyno Run

    My car is at Sambandits shop and I was just talking to Joe who made 2 runs on the dyno today. The first was 417rwhp and the second was 420rwhp. That was with just a FIPK and Bassani catback. I can't wait to see what it does once the work is done...stieg port, 2.76/4lb, bassani x and predator tune.

    SSR GT3 Owners - Help me out

    I just got my new SSR GT3's in today and it turns out the rears won't fit. They are 18x10.5 with Michelin Pilot Sport 315/30/18's. I was under the impression this combo worked ok but the tire rubs pretty good on my irs bolt. In addition it almost appears that the tire may rub the metal part near...

    Michelin Pilot Sports on SSR GT3 Wheels

    I'm planning to get some GT3's but I can't decide whether to go with 315/30/18 for the rear or 335/30/18. The 335's look pretty mean but I'm wondering if they are overkill. Does anyone who has them regret going so wide?

    Getting SSR GT3's

    I've getting some GT3's for my '04 and I wanted to get some opinions. After doing a search I see that some people go with the 18x9 instead of the 18x9 1/2 for the front. I was planning to get the 9 1/2" unless there is a good reason to go with the 9" wheel. I'd be using Michelin Pilots Sports...
