Never hurts to inject some muffled humor

My luck. Waited too long and now they've up and retired. If anyone has a set of their round-port 1-5/8" headers they managed to order before they stopped and wants to sell, please let me know. Their...

Leon, Chas, thanks much.

No grinding. Entirely possible I failed to readjust the slave cylinder (the distance) back from tohe 5spd to the 4spd. Will start looking there. Much appreciated.

Good evening,

When I pulled the 4spd from the '70 a year or so ago during the motor rebuild, it ran fine. I opted for a 5spd and so the 4spd sat covered in a corner of the garage, upright, but...

Hey Blue,

4.11 revved too high. Like an 18 wheeler; was in 3rd before I cleared an intersection. The LSD is an added perk to be sure, but a lower mileage differential was attractive as well.

I...

Quick update:

Swapped in Subaru STi 3.90 LSD with Beta Motorsport shafts from Wolf Creek. Such an improvement in driveability over the 4.11

Tidewater Z helped sort out the brakes and other...

Would also love to know the answer to this.

Thanks Both, and sorry for the delayed response. After losing all braking on the last drive of the season (fortunately without any of the hairy stuff that normally follows such a loss), I'll be...

Might drag the '71 down to Norfolk at some point over the winter to get some help on a few smaller items, but otherwise they're tucked away as well.

Thanks Carl, that's more like what I've been looking for. Some of those are so basic I'm not sure how I forgot them (store hours) and others are that customer-oriented feel-goodery that just has to...

Awesome, thanks for the feedback tamo! Stuff like the email isn't my MO, so great to get other's perspectives.

You all are too nice. Thanks much, appreciate the feedback so far.

Elvis is alive!

Hi all,

After seeing some of the commentary on tweaks to this site over the years, I figure this crowd is pretty decent about identifying the Good, Bad, and Ugly on websites. I may regret this,...

Totally non-value added comment: I used to have a photo of my Paragon 29er stuffed in the back of my 240z. Wish I could find it to add here for context, but I can't. Sorry. Some Yakima Q-clips may do...

Thanks Peter,

Sorry, no, I meant the brake setup he installed for you. I believe you made note that I might want to revert to stock, and was unsure whether you were happy with the 'new' brake...

Thanks Peter,

Does the setup he built for you work well? Aside from the Rotors and Pads, I'm running the same gear. Curious if you're pleased, or consider the 'upgrades' inadequate as well.
...

Also, Leon: I purchased the "wrong" 15/16" master cylinder, the 82-83 model. I of course had to trim it to get it to work, but afterwards it bolted on fine. Other than the fitment issues, are...

Man I wish this thread would break into multiple pages like every other thread on this site...

Guy - That's a thought. I wouldn't mind experiencing the 3.54/ ZX combo prior to dropping it back in....

Thanks Guaro,

Leon, long stopping distance, yep. I was hoping these 4-pots would grab more, but with such a hodgepodge of parts, its hard to say which element I goofed with.

Hi Leon,

Front and Rears are both 225/50/15. Fronts rub at full lock, but that's rarely an issue. The rears are maybe a 1/2" from the spring perch, and have rubbed on occasion, though there's no...

That guy has had parts posted on the Annapolis CL for years now. His definition of 'mint' is different from yours, and his outlandish prices are no joke.

Thanks for Posting, Sean. Your put my cars to shame, I heard one guy make a comment about the shoddy paint on the White/Green cars, and we ought to take a page out of your book.

(Deleted duplicate post)

Thanks Sean. I'd be grateful to use the sync meter. Chance of rain Sat. kept some of the exotics away; we'll catch a better show with you soon.
