  1. go to a local autoshop with a strut in hand and see if they have any energy suspension bumpstops you can use and cut if necessary
  2. Hey, if I was rude to you, I apologize, I don't really recall. I will give newbies who don't follow simple instructions a hard time.... Did I get laid? no. Opposite, I lost the one I love (not in the sense of mortality)
  3. small wirewheel on a drill? file?
  4. Honestly? I think it's worth 4k at most... but maybe I'm wrong. The thing is in this case is finding someone who's willing to spend 5k on it, you know? The question is, why do you HAVE to sell it? because you're pressured into it?' On the other hand, you could make the smart move, sell it (it's probably worth more than the grand am), and go to school and save some $$$. Get a toy later in life when you're settled in?
  5. well, the 225/50 and 225/60 tires are going to have the same footprint, 225mm across. What John is saying is that your rear tires are stickier than the front, and therefore induce understeer by not letting the rear pitch out as much as it would if you had es100s all around. Too bad you're not local, I would've loaned you 2 of my wheels with 225/50/15 es100s on them for testing
  6. yeah, email it to me, I'll put it up alex at datsunracing dot com
  7. Tim http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=rhetorical .........*shaking head* art of sarcasm is long lost on you, oh indigestion-plagued one with fierce power of mudbutt
  8. Parents will be parents. As for your insignificant other, her warranty expired. Time to trade her in on a newer more compatible model
  9. lol, no problem? do I come off as that much of an ***?
  10. an old man gets on the bus and the only available seat is next to a punk kid with a mohawk. The old man sits down, and looks the kid up and down. The kid's wearing leather pants, military boots, chains and spikes everywhere, and has a tall mohawk dyed in several colors. The man's fixated on his hair. The kid grows an attitude and says "What's your problem, old man? Didn't you ever do anything wild and rebellious in your days to stand out? " The old man thinks about it for a second and says "yeah, come to think, I screwed a parrot once.. I was wondering if you're my son"
  11. in layman's terms, what grumpy is saying, your displacement is the volume of the space between the piston at full up stroke and full down stroke. let's say you have a 2.8 liter L6... Stock bore is 87mm (diameter of the cylinder) and stock stroke is 79mm. Using grumpy's formula, BORE x BORE x stroke X NUMBER OF CYLINDERS x .7854, and plugging in the numbers, the result is 2,817,784 mm^3, or 2.8 liters. So to stroke it to a 3 liter (hence the term, 3 liter stroker motor) the common thing to do is to replace the crankshaft with more aggressive lobes. This makes the piston rod travel farther up and down, and therefore the stroke (or the length piston has travelled from lowest point to top dead center) is increased from 79mm to 83 using a maxima diesel crankshaft. Now, if you plug in the numbers using the same formula, you get 2,960,457 mm^3, or 2.96 liter stroked motor...roughly 3 liters. When a motor is bored, it means the cylinder diameter is increased, and you would fit larger pistons into the block in order to increase the displacement without changing the stroke. Or you could combine both for optimal displacement. However, boring a block can only be done so much because of the thickness of cylinder sleeve walls. Too thin and you run the risk of cracks and breaking. Hope that helped
  12. I cut mine out and from what I remember, it's not spot welded on. it's a solid piece that's part of the rear floordeck I don't think I see any spotwelds... maybe on the outer rim, but it doesn't look like it
  13. too thick of a sway bar... are you also running staggerred wheels, ie. larger rear tires? change your rear struts to 3, and you'll also notice a difference.
  14. resistor in the tach is fried. Common on 73-74 tachs. You may wnat to look into replacing the tach with an autometer or equivalent unit
  15. tell him that he can eat a bowl of dick.
  16. looked like a narrowed rear end to accomodate the huge tires. Ford 9" rear ends are bulletproof, why do you think so many chevy people run them? and mustang, except for the cobra, never had stock IRS
  17. hehe, holes came with the bike. I peeled them off, they were covering up blemishes from damages during shipping by previos owner. Nothing really bad.
