I TOLD him he shouldn't use the "X" button 'till NEXT year. Dammit.
Chris-search ebay for one of those for under $100.
Scrapes gaskets too. Yeah, I went "How lazy can you get?" too, but I've since eaten those words.
Snap-On PGS1A Air Powered Gasket Scraper if you have a compressor. Works on most undercoating/sound deadener/seam sealer without tearing up the metal like an air chisel will. If you're careful it...
Wires missing/non stock = rolling slowly through the stop sign while making sure no one's coming.
Cheater cams = running through stop sign at 40mph on a blind corner.
Both are illegal, but...
Stephen,
I don't remember who had the most on that day, but it was around 95-96hp. I don't think anyone with an engine from the "well,well,well known" engine builder wanted to get on the dyno...
Jarrod,
Thanks for the info. You can pick up some more power if you can "somehow" get the a/f a little leaner up top.
Payson's car was around 88 that day at LR. The best SM pulling over 96. ...
George,
If we truly wish to shut the door on expensive equipment, why not fixed dollar limits? Most of the companies that make RR shocks will make you non-RR shocks also. They usually cost the...

Use the exhaust sniffer if...
Here's some tips for the GC set-up:
Get a second steel washer(same as the one between the bearing and perch) for the Torrington bearing and have the piece(one side is concave) that normally sits...
I'm not trying to be a smartass, but firing a shot like this across the bow of an E36 builder might cause cheating in another area(keeping stock cams-knowing what'll be protested)
Anyway-does the...
YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A SIX PAGE COPYRIGHTED INSTRUCTION MANUAL WITH YOUR ADS.
Basically:
Blue knob is bump. 1=softest, 3=stiffest
Red knob is rebound. Clockwise all the way in is full stiff. ...
I'm in the even smaller minority that thinks a 1.8 Miata can do well in ITS! Stop laughing!
Anyway(when you guys can breathe again), I'm building a 1.6 SM now with IT in mind and it will probably...
Before you replace the pump, check the regulator. You can "deadhead" the fuel system by pinching the fuel return line hose shut with the pump running. If the pressure goes up significantly(should go...
This works well most of the time:
Pack the pilot bushing/bearing 3/4 full with grease(no air pockets). Find a bolt/shaft with an OD a hair smaller then the ID of the bearing. The closer the fit...
