Bypass your heater core and see if it still overheats. run a heater hose from out to in from the block, making a short loop instead of having it go through the core.

This may be a dumb question but...

unless they are progressive rate springs, it doesn't matter. even progressive springs don't matter, i don't think -
yes, they will.

audi s4 = a4 body with better brakes/suspension, 2.7liter v6 twin-turbo. rated at 250hp. a simple ecu swap for a performance one (around 500 bucks) nets literally 60-70hp increase, and nearly 100 ft lbs of torque (computer controlled boost).

A defense attorney was cross-examining apolice officer during a felony trial -- it went like this: Q. Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene? A. No sir, but I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender running several blocks away. Q. Officer, who provided this description? A. The officer who responded to the scene. Q. A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers? A. Yes sir, with my life. Q. With your life? Let me ask you this then officer, do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties? A. Yes sir, we do. Q. And do you have a locker in that room? A. Yes sir, I do. Q. And do you have a lock on your locker? A. Yes sir. Q. Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, that you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with those same officers? A. You see sir, we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.

quick question on front tire size... HELP...
auxilary replied to a topic in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis
245 will be just fine, 255 would've fit without problems either. i'd personally choose 255 -

for starters, you don't have a catalytic converter. That would make it a problem buying a 'cat-back' system. Which is why your searches for one don't list any. Try looking for FULL EXHAUST systems instead. look how many i found with just a few clicks: http://www.zcarparts.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=PEC

Camaro RS Vs. Audi S4 - Great Kill Story!!! This was posted yesterday on the E21 Message Board. Enjoy it!! Poor hapless kid in the new (to him) Camaro RS wants to race... He works at a suntan parlor 2 doors down from my store and has seen me fiddlin with my UrS4 out back for nigh on a year since he started work there. I can't imagine how he got this car w/payments and insurance as he's had a ton of tickets and totaled his last car (an Accord EX) by rear-ending an Explorer at a stop light. Anyway he asks me if I wanna race and I tellim "I'm a road racer, not a drag racer... my car isn't set up for straight line." He was smart enough to say "I won't race you on the road course but I'll race in a straight line with you from a 30-35mph rolling start." I ask him if want's to put any money on it as "jus for grins in a straight line doesn't much suit me." He says "I can't afford to race for money" but then three of his friends say they'll run to the ATM and come up with $500 that says he'll take me to 120mph. I agreed and told em to go get the money and meet me at "X" spot at 7pm tonight... a little rural road 20 minutes northeast of town. Now I've got the guilts. They just returned with the money and showed me... all 20's, ATM fodder. They're all stoked and I feel awful. Hell, I like this kid...he works next door and he aint got a friggin clue what he's up against. His car is stock, 3 years old with an auto tranny and Road Hugger 245/50/16 well-used tires. I'm nigh on 400HP and running 26psi of boost and we're racing at 6,300 ft elevation. He's 25-26 years old, I'm 51. I'll kill him or dally with him and beat him by as much or little as I choose... easily... fretfully easily... no contest! He's a good kid and he'll take it in stride, but I don't wanna alienate him. His friends worry me since they're the ones gonna be out a metric butt-ton of money... maybe their rent money or car payments. I don't want my car keyed or vandalized as a result and I don't want to embarrass him in front of them. But I agreed. I can back out or I can race. I'm thinking, race him, beat him, then tell them to keep the money and be more careful challenging what they know not. I could easily mop the floor with him but I feel guilty about how this little banter has gotten outta hand. What's yer vote? What would you do? 2nd part: Results from last night's Camaro RS vs UrS4 race(if you can call it that)... Bigger 'n Dallas these guys were at the designated place even before I was and I was on time. They were all cocky, boisterous and bold... hootin & hollerin and making all kinda claims about how this was gonna end up. Stuff like "painting your calipers red and writing Porsche on them ain't gonna save ya tonight." They still think I painted my stock calipers red and wrote Porsche on them, then drilled holes in my front/rear rotors. The guy who owns the Camaro and works next door to me was obviously nervous. And while he didn't have an equity role in this, I think he was scared to death of letting down his friends. He wasn't involved in any of the jeering or impudence. They asked to look one more time under my hood to make sure I hadn't added anything (Like what could I bolt on in 3 hours?). Then started in again with "Looks like a motor, only smaller" and "My Toyota has a bigger motor than that." Then they started in with "So... ya wanna jus give us the $500 and save yourself the embarrassment?" I told em "No... I want you to take it from me." So we lined up... The driver pulled up and the 3 friends asked him to drive them to a point a mile or so down the road. I asked what they were doing and they replied "We're not gonna ride with him but we want to see him near the finish line. So in a fit of cockiness I asked if they wanted to ride with me? They guffawed and laughed and said "We don't wanna slow ya down or give you an excuse to not pay." I told em they shouldn't worry as they know where I work. So they asked if "I was sure?" I said, damn betcha... hop in! We agree to a rolling start at around 45mph... a good spot for me where I'm just coming into around 16psi of boost. The road we're on is a to-the-horizon road with unlimited visibility and no entrances/exits for 15 or so miles... just ranch/range land. Inside thermometer is showing 78 degrees out... perfect for me. So the kids climb in and I make em buckle up (I have a plan for later) and we start rolling. When we got to around 40-42 the Camaro trounces it. I go to about 60% throttle. The kid beside starts to yell "He's gonna kill ya!" At this point the RS is about 1.5 carlengths ahead. At that point I floor it to 7100rpms and hit 26psi of boost, go for third and my passengers don't know whether to [Oops!] or go blind. I pass the RS in about half a second. At 120mph (The agreed upon finish speed) the RS is by their count, 10-12 carlengths behind me. I keep going. I shift into 5th and still have the throttle floored. The boys are squirming a little and looking at me a little like WTF ya doin?" I tellem we're goin for a little longer ride than Craig (The kid driving the Camaro who is now completely out of sight. I tellem to let me know when they've had enough. The first one says "Thats enough" right then, on the spot. I say "Nope... gotta be unanimous." We're near 145mph now and the 2nd one says "Ok, ok thats enough." I ask the remaining one sitting beside me how he feels as he's looking around for something to hold on to. He says nothing for about 10 seconds then as the speedo goes about 10mph past it's final calibration at 170mph he says ok ok, PLEASE stop." So I did... but not just any stop... I wanted to show em how some homemade red calipers with Porsche painted on them can stop. I stood on it for ALL they were worth. If these guys hadn't been buckled in they'd have found themselves about 400 ft ahead of where the car came to a complete stop. Then I did a slow u-turn and headed back to where Craig was... 4 or so miles back. Asked em if they'd like to pay now or see if we can hit 200mph (I was bluffing)? Felt a hand on my shoulder and looked down and saw a neat stack of consecutively numbered 20's. Nary a word was spoken till we got back to Craig who didn't have a clue what was going on. Then the tide turned... now all of a sudden they can't contain their excitement... they're bold and cocky again exclaiming they went over 170mph!! and "It was great!!" So we gabbed for awhile then I asked if I could treat em to pizza and beer and they declined as they had girlfriends who would be wondering/worrying about them (Rightly so). So I pulled their money out, peeled 2 twenties from the pile and told em "Here... I dont want this... I had fun... thanks but I'm keeping $40 for you buying me dinner, wear/tear & gas. Then as I'm driving off one says I have a friend with a VR4 that will race you. I asked him if he would personally cover his friend's bet if we were to do that? He thought about it a second then said "Ummm...no." I said g'nite guys. Nice kids... paid the bet and never uttered a syllable of excuse. A heaping helping of crow, served warm, is a powerful teacher. Pretty sad... the craziness of it all."

Rear Camber Kit for '79-'83 ZX?
auxilary replied to jhaag's topic in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis
I am not sure, but it sounds like they use method similar to the honda washer trick, where you stack up washers to push the strut out on the top mount end to correct the camber. Sounds like they use a spacer. Again, I am just guessing -
you can. but you have to be very good with welding, machining, and drafting to make the design. people don't do this swap because it's not cost effective and is time consuming. For same value, one can do a wilwood big brake kit
