    Full Alky Reservoir Dry after a long Drive? Alkycontrol Kit.

    Installed Razors Kit in March 09. Haven't drove the car much since, maybe 1k miles and used about 5 gallons of Alky. Never had a leak or any issues. Today the car was on an 8 hour drive to its new home and the new owner reported the reservoir was bone dry upon arrival. Any ideas on what would...

    NEW!! UMI Boxed Lower and Tubular Upper, 1_3/8" Sway, BFGs

    Very much prefer a pickup for any/all of these items. Otherwise buyer responsible for any shipping costs (no idea how I'd ship tires or sway tho). Bought this stuff last year and they've been sitting in the box since. I've decided I don't want a race car as much as I want a reliable street...

    Race Ready Electric Cutout does not fit. Anyone using one

    The super wide construction of the unit doesnt allow it to fit under my car. The only way it fits is if the motor hangs straight down and thats obviously not a good idea. Anyone using one? Anyone have any luck w/ another unit that does fit? Race Ready Performance EC300SREV1 - Race Ready...

    GN Center Caps loose

    The plastic posts that stick through the metal ring are broke. Whats the best way to fix this? I'd hate to have to replace the caps b/c they are mint.

    Can the grill be painted?

    I dropped my bumpers and fillers off to be painted and figured while I was at it would see if they could paint my grill too. I'm having second thoughts for fear that it will come out like crap. Any suggestions? Should I call ASAP and cancel painting of the grill?

    Where can you buy an ATR rear Sway?

    I can't find 'em anywhere. Seems like each vendor has a different model of their own. So far I'm leaning towards Full Throttles 1-3/8" for $160. Thoughts/Experience with either?

    MSD Wires

    I like the super conductors but hate Red. I found these Heli-Core wires but they seem to be 'cheaper' quality. Anyone have an experience with them? Blue fits my engine compartment nicely, but I'd also be interested in Black. MSD Ignition 3186 - MSD Heli-Core Spark Plug Wire Sets -...

    Installed shift kit. Looking for more firmness out of the shift still.

    I installed a PTS shift kit but would like it to shift harder. With BFG drag radials it will even think of chirping 2nd. With street tires I'm always spinning through 1st-2nd so its hard to tell :) I have been told blocking the 1-2 accumulator will really firm the shift up, but I asked Bruce...

    Help installed shift kit this weekend. Positioning Check Balls

    In 2003 I installed a kit in my 84 and had tons of trouble. This was my first and only experience working on a trans and I did it on an uneven street with just a floor jack. This Saturday I plan on tackling the 87. This time I at least have a garage and the car will be on jack stands. Anyways...

    Adjusting RJC Boost Controller

    I just installed my RJC BC tonight. First of all let me tell you it was a PAIN! I had to take off the intake pipe and uppipe and still struggled for 15 min trying to get the tiny vac line on the wastegate. I'm not sure if mine was just in a bad spot or what but it was very difficult to get to...

    Looking for some research assistance / advice on convertors.

    I just bought an 87GN (sold my 84) and I'm pretty sure the trans is going to need some work (its all stock). I know nothing about transmissions and torque converters though. I checked the vendors websites (CK, PTS, etc) and some other resources but can't find any good explanations to help me...
