I have a bad feeling my alternator is tapping out. So, I get the car out of storage and go to start it. RRR RRR click click click. :dw: I hook up a spare battery from my boat with some jumper cables. Start the car and leave the battery hooked up for a few to let the battery charge a bit before I...
Is it mechanical, or electrical? Where is it? Is there a way to test the flow rate? I took the car out of storage, started it up and let it warm up. Fans kicked on, pump started pumping very rapidly. Everything looked good. Did about 80 miles or so of off and on driving today. Let it cool down...
My rear diff was leaking so I took it out to reseal. I popped of the cover and there was a considerable amount of gray sludge on the plug. I am assuming that is powdered metal stuck to the magnet on the plug. I guess in an ideal situation there would be none there, but how much is acceptable...
Just bought some ebc greenstuff for the front and rear. Pulled the rotors to have them turned. 28k miles and supposedly the rears are under spec. Not sure about the front, don't know the spec. Anyone have it?
FS: 2 satin 03 cobra wheels ** updated w/pics **
Just like it says 2 03/04 cobra wheels satin finish, not chrome. 17x9 with the svt center caps. $230 shipped. Been in the garage for a while, a little dusty right now. They need a bath and the hose is frozen!!
Does anyone have any recomendations for a local tint shop. I have a vert, and would like to tint the sides and back. Any estimates on a price? Thanks :beer:
Last year I decided to replace the bushings in the irs. I have urethane in the irs cradle, alunimum in the front diff, and delrin in the rear diff upper control arms and lower control arms. After 3000 miles or so I developed a squeek which I tracked to the driver's side lower control arm. I...
I installed the maximum morotsports rear urethane isolators with my h&r springs. I put the flat one on top, and the one that has the cutout for the end of the spring on the bottom. Is this right, or do they go the other way around?
Did anyone have trouble getting the pinion angle right when using nicks bushings? I can't seem to get mine right. I have the front of the diff as high as it will go, and that doesn't seem to be enough. I have the aluminum inserts in the ears of the diff and a big stack of washer on he bottom...
I got the back all set, now its on to the front. What are the torque specs on the front of the car. I'm not using a spring compressor. That seems more dangerous and requires a compressor that I don't have. I'm going to unbolt the control arm and use a floor jack to let the pressure off. If...
Is there a top or bottom to the stock springs. I dropped the irs, and the springs have been rolling around the garage for a while. I'm getting ready to reassemble and need to know if it matters how they go in. The stock isolators are still on them.
I'm trying to guage the durability of MRT's cats. Please post how long it's been on the car, and how much power you are running. Mods, and rwhp if known, and if you've had any problems with blown/clogged cats.
Thanks :beer:
How did eveyone get their lca bushings out. Search provided no details. I got the insides of the irs bushings out, but do the metal shells need to come out as well? The uca's were pretty easy. Those are already out, and the delrin is in. Any specific details are GREATLY appreciated.
I was removing my stock h pipe when the upper drivers side stud spun out with the nut. I sprayed it with penetrating oil and heated but it's out now, and the threads are jacked. Where do I get a new one, and how do I install it?
:beer:
I hope you guys don't mind me asking but I'm going to trust the local guys on this one. I have a chance to pick up an MRT off road h pipe for a good price. I have a magnaflow catback now, and am a little concearned about just how loud it will be. Everyone I have talked to has the catted version...
I got invited to go to ubly with some guys I know, but don't want to waste a trip if I don't have to. It's a test & tune weekend. Will I have a broblem there ie: no cage? I've never been to the track yet, and would love to go. Any advise would be great.:beer:
I have a chance to get rid of my 03 vert and get a new coupe for pretty much exactly what I owe now. The vert is 03 black/machined with 22k miles. It's got magnaflow cb k&n fipk and a triax shifter. The coupe is new, most likely an 04.
The question: Would you trade your vert straight up...
