I'd say it comes down to how fast you want to go around corners. I know my 320is recaros just dont cut it as I have a hard time down shifting in the middle of a corner due to the fact that I have to h ...

Good longevity/ handling trade off. I had r-compound before these and loved them- but these are still great fun and last way longer. Great street tire.

Ok, I'll bite-
what's the reinforcement on the top of the
brake hose bracket for?

t

I may attach the front swaybar there to increase leverage- Like the e30m3.

When I replaced the hose fromt eh K-pump I cut it long and overlapped it enough to use 2 hose clamps. Maybe overkill but it just seemed a little light weight for a fuel line.

Just wondering if anyone has an idea as to which other pans may fit in place of the 2002 pan. I'm aware of the s14 pan mods but I'm betting that there is another pan that would fit.....

Thoughts?

I agree on the rear gearing. On the roads that I drive on I do tons of 3rd to 2nd down shifts often in the middle of a corner so regardless of the gear spacing I'd love to have that CR shift pattern j ...

I think it comes down to who and where. I and my sister both had 2002's from early on (my influence on her.) We grew up in Austin. I'd say that for me it was perfect but for her so so. She often manag ...

Check for an air leak between the tank and the pump. If there is a slight dry/ cracked hose the pump will not prime and just suck air. Are all the lines tight and hoses in good shape?

Just out of curiosity- is the rear rotor vented?

Stoptech- good info there for sure. I need to do this for my front/rear set-up to check size the calipers for the front to match up closely to the rear vette setup. I have e21 rotors up front as well. ...

Wish I could help. I need to do the math for my setup- where did you find that info?

Ray. Blunt and Pat- What are you guys using in the coolant radiator/ t-stat dept. I wonder how much the 2 systems are interdependent?

Well- as long as there are some good cheap ones left for us poor folks...

Actually I worry how long I'll be able to own one and whether or not I'll be able to find another one. With these kind of p ...

TJ- here is what I would do. I would find a piece of U channel the wider than the brake mounting ears and longer than the strut. With the U facing downwards, near one of the ends make a big hole for t ...

I'd just pop in a headgasket and keep it on the road until the brakes and suspension are where you want them. If doing the work yourself just those 2 can take a while and you can enjoy the car in the ...

Not sure of the rates on the rear springs but must be close to 225 or so.

I have 300# up front and ireland stage2 in the rear with bilstein sports. Before I shortened my front struts I often had the front bottom out in corners- and that is with the spring pads in place on t ...

what next, if anything? Thank you all so much for helping me understand this,

The temperature gauge in the dash? Where does it read?

I'm with DELK. You might want to pull the fuel line off at the pump and bleed the old fuel dry. Or if there is not much in the tank just hook up a good battery and fresh fuel, turn the ignition on le ...

There are some very comprehensive books out there on tuning weber carbs. Those and a wideband 02 logger and I'd bet you could get then set up just fine.

Tune the carbs to the existing engine, Webers are very versatile.

True. What size choke? Couldn't you go down in choke size to obtain the similar results as going to 40's

From the lic it seems that as long as your not going straight you'll be fine! guess you'll just have to seek out all the curvy roads!

Naive notion. My own thoughts toward these ends were to mount the dual cylinders over/under at the pedal box still leaving room for the clutch. Seems like it would fit? No?

Not bad! But then there ...

I'm no pro- but based on the fact that there is not a ton of info about subject of wear floating about what I did was measure the difference that the play in the shaft made in the point gap and correl ...

Toby- I think you got it backwards- the i.d. is 40.

My supersprint headers had the same problem. I just dented them- but in your case I'd pop the original manifold back on to figure out if one or the other of the compnents is out of whack. If so I migh ...

Don't get me wrong-I'm not concerned about the integrity of your welds- only mine. I've read your earlier post about it in response to my previous question. That's why I gave it a try myself. I wasn't ...

Damn nice Pedro! I love the 2 tubes up to the strut mount. Seems like its just begging for something across the front (struts or up towards the nose.) Any plans there or no longer needed?

I tried t ...
