The alignment shop should have noticed if things were loose. Take it back to them.

Yep, not bad at all! If the engine is that good of shape, and a new clutch your good to go for 100k plus on the engine, and at least 100k on the clutch. (if at least oem, and your good at useing a clutch). So that can be equated to years of sevice for a couple of "new" car payments. I do understand about "gated" community and there rules. There is always a price to be paid for security.

Thanks!! All I want is to spend time with my children, bbq a london broil, change the breaks on my slob (saab) all the way around. And formost, this evening!!!!!!!!!!!

One can speculate why, but, my brother running a k/n got 40hp more removing the filter on a dyno. B16a turbo, he dynoed 300plus hp. Steve, with the blow through carbs and meth injection, lost close to 100hp without the k/n filters. Really interesting. he dynoed 850approx. If you ever get to do dyno sessions, be sure to give this a try.

Man, was that ground to sky lighting!!?? I thought that was very rare! Wayy cool to catch that!

Cool nice wright up;)

Yes, compression is lower. Car will be more slugish. Dished pistons.

I wanted to mention stuff not being "flat", just did not have the heart to say it...... Good luck my friend;)

Nice find on that engine!

Oem is just fine. You can upgrade to a turbo flywheel and run the larger disk, 240mm, and it is a direct swap!

Lol!

I would like to relish is some of my stores of yore, however, they are racked with so much stupidity. Not all, but most. I did get busted in my bug in the woods by a fire truck with a g/f.... (those things can really get around, fire trucks that is;) )

Seems like he's not convinced that it will be nesseary. On the other hand some are conviced he will have a problem, and won't let it go. I figure that this fellow would let us know if he has problems later, in the mean time has not this ship sailed on clearence. He is not the one bringing it up all the time. Also, 1fastZ I have no reason not to believe you and your expertise, however, it reminds me of others crapping about your cover. You got it and some would not let it go. Am I correct WAX that you will let us know if you run into vapor lock? Then this thread can be used as an example of what works or not???......

Those are very complimenty inprovements to the car! You should post up a pic of that car with the z in the same setting. I really like the styling of your z. Would be cool to see them together.

There is some ford short throws that only need minor mods to work. You will have to searchy for this.

I'm certainly into function over form, however, I would do it once, just cause, then...... Well then again looking at the faces of others as there times get crushed! Either way it will give some pause to think, maybe some cool stuff will come from someone willing to pave the way. Just give it time.

Get a camera stand for Gods sake!!!!!!!! That is got to be the most stupidest things......

Coating rock. They are claiming 56% less in temps on 900hp plus engine with 400deg. vs almost 1000deg. Wow. Did not notice if it was inside as well as out on that test. You going to do intake and exhaust?

You've built it, somehow for me it is always fun to push it to its limits, (trash it). Odd how this happens, it seems to overcome common sense at frist.......

Looking far out man! Have you consider some meth injection, to also reduce possible heat issues?

My comments are on your other thread.

Somehow I kinda like you, although not sure why, can't rightly put my finger on it..... I'm interested in seeing what you come up with. And now Tony just put his knuckle in your shoulder blades, teehee.....

Some kind of aux steam engine?? At frist it seemed that the sound was not in "sync" with the engine rpms. Somehow I just want to say it is not a compression/ exaught leak, but it is too hard to say.

You should keep the boy around as much as possible. Nothing like building memories for him, as well as yourself. My boy "slows" me down often, sometimes agitates me, however, I'm just not working on my cars, but, us:) Today, I've offered to have him "help" me with replacing my slob's turbo. It will be a slight upgrade, and the old one is leaking oil. He is 4. He is also into that wwwhhhhyyyyyy, and the what's that...... Sometimes I just have to answer, wwwhhhyyy not and I don't know.......

Nice!
