    Correct Tire Sizing

    Yea, probably another topic beat to death, and you all want to tell me to just look for it, but that's what I got a wife for. Oh wait, I don't have one of those anymore... Anyway: I'm looking to put 275 50R15 on my stock wheels. They should fit. But when I view the various tires in this...

    Another "What's next" Thread

    I spend time reading and trying to learn before I ask any questions, but sometimes it seems the more I read the more confused I get. Note that I have 2 strikes against me: I'm about as efficient with a wrench as a monkey with a chainsaw, and I don't have big piles of money sitting around. So...

    Low Volts/Charging issue?

    Details of the car are in my signature. I should add to my signature line that I'm not very handy with a wrench, but I can get by on basic stuff. Out for a ride yesterday. Scrolling though the scanmaster just to check things. Had the A/C on, and noticed volts were reading about 12.5 to...

    '87 T Type

    Not that I'm a long term member here, but I don't think I ever posted up any pics. Gave the 'ol girl a bath and wax this weekend so I snapped off a couple of cell phone pics. Where's all our maroon guys at??

    Knock Retard

As I mention in any thread I start - I am not very mechanically inclined, so bear with me. Made some changes to the car recently, and now I'm having knock issues according to my...

    General Questions - Springs, FPR, Wastegate

    Geez, I couldn't even think of a catchy name for my thread title. And sorry if this is in the wrong place. My intent is serious. I have a few random questions. To be clear, I'm not mechanically inclined and have much to learn. Talk to me in laymen terms. I try my best to read and get an...

    Brake Help

    Hi all. Apologies ahead if this isn't the right place to post this. No surprise, I'm having some issues with my PM. 51,000 miles. All original. No brake light on, no hard brake feeling, but when the pedal is depressed she's leaking fluid. I haven't determined exactly where its coming from...

    Progressive vs. Constant Rate Springs

    I picked up my '87 T back in February. Now that I've got a few hundred miles on it, I've realized the ride is pretty sad. The car really sags in the back (I can lift it up 2" by myself), braking is lackluster with nose dive even under moderate braking, and handling is weak. There are no marks...

    Another Jersey new guy...

    Hello everyone. Hopefully this intro doesn't get too long. New member from Jersey here. I'm 44, wife, kids, dog, etc. I've always enjoyed cars and things that go fast, but by no means am I an aficionado. I can hold a conversation involving mechanics, racing, etc. but my wrenching ability...
