Wanting to get into some shifter kart racing. Any advice for buying first used shifter kart? Advice for finding a track? Any advice at all? Thanks a lot.
I've noticed some with avatar pics that are larger and more clear than mine. How do you do this? When I try to increase the size of the pic I use for my avatar, it goes beyond the 125X125 pixels-size. thanks.
Help, anybody? I am completely stock except for a K&N drop-in. At WOT in first gear, I never get past approx 6lbs of boost. After I shift into second, it goes up to 8lbs and falls off a little around 5500RPMs. How can I have belt-slip on stock everything? I think my belt was even replaced...
Awesome. All the things I thought the Zip-Zap needed on the previous model are on the SE model. It even has lights.
Likes:
1) Faster
2) Servo-controlled steering, instead of electromagnet, I think. I don't want to take it apart to find out.
3) Steering trim adjustment on the remote...
I have a friend in the powdercoating industry and would like to get my valve covers "chrome-look" powdercoated. How hard is it to remove them? Do you have to remove the master-cylinder? Thanks.
I'm on my third TOB and it has started to squeal. Any recommended replacement TOB available? I'm sure Ford would refuse to honor anymore clutch warranty claims, but it would be worth it if I could get a good TOB.
1. The "Vibe." Driveshaft and diff are supposed to be a matched set. Some people blame the tires. (The fix is to achieve balance in whatever way possible, whether new parts or balancing old parts.)
2. The "Tick." (New-design head. Silent recall.)
3. The "Right Hand Pull." (Jury still...
I love this damn car!
1. Looks awesome running down the road and sitting still. Take this from a former doorstop (F-bod) owner.
2. Blower whine is a plus, not a minus.
3. Handles great, IMO.. We have some REALLY picky mofos on this board.

I know that Meguiar's Scratch-X doesn't remove chips, but it sure helps to dull the small ones that are located behind and infront of all my fenderwells.

Okay, so I've noticed a few (very few) comments on a harmonics problem with the lower (Metco or whomever else) pulleys. Is it true that the pulleys create some sort of stress on the crank? Just wondering. Thanks.
Are any wheel companies producing the 20-in badboys on the 2005 concept GT car? I know they won't be on the production 2005 car, but I think they would look great on ours. I've been trying to Photoshop them on to a side-pic of my car, but I'm computer illiterate.
I took my car in because I was having trouble getting it into first gear. I exercised the clutch adjuster until I was blue in the face. When that stopped working, I took it in.
Verdict: Ford says I need a new clutch/pressure plate/throw-out bearing. With 16K on the clock and no racing, it...
I bought my car used at 13K miles from an SVT certified dealership in Denton, TX. The salesman told me that whenever I take my car in for warranty or service, I would receive a free loaner car. Well, I took my car in for TSB work and other assorted warranty things (loose side vents, etc) at an...
Well, RPM Outlet says 3 weeks, now. A month ago, it was 2 weeks. Is Diablo ever going to release this thing? I'm going to laugh if some competitor gets to the market first.
I have purchased a used Metco lower 2lb, 6lb pulley setup, but did not receive instructions with the unit. Can anyone tell me where I can get my hands on a copy? I have written an E-mail to Metco and am waiting on a response. Thanks.
I though I got rid of this issue when I stopped driving POS f-bodies. Does anyone here have a slight lean to the passenger's side? I know it didn't have it when I bought it, and it hasn't been in any accidents. It's so slight that my g/f insists it does not exist, but I can see it.

I've noticed since purchasing this car that I have more people wanting to talk to me about it than with any other car I have owned in my 16 years of driving. People come up to me at the Sonic, in the Target parking lot, at the gas station, etc. Now this guy started talking to me while waiting...
First off, I have the green. I noticed that my intercooler anti-freeze is cloudy. What should I do? Flush and replace? It also smells kinda funny.
Is this the same fluid ran through the motor? When I ask this, I mean, is it part of the same system? If not, how does the intercooler...
Does anyone like Zex or TNT make a specialized NOS for our cars? It seems to me that our cars are basically made for nitrous, yet not many people run it. We have a forged bottom end, low compression, a blower, and a good fuel pump. What gives? It's easier to remove nitrous when going in for...
