Went to buy wiper blades for my 2025 Mazda only to find that Mazda redesigned the usual blade attachment to the arm. I'm all for changes when it...
So, where was it?
Rat, what's the PN on those sealed bearings?
I love Square birds! This one really hits the sweet spot for me with a perfect color combo.
Dumbass me once assembled a SBF without paying attention to the " front" marking on the head gaskets and got one backwards. Instant overheat....
Didn't the Monza, Skyhawk, Sunfire also come with a T10?
I feel the same way about our modified MGBs. The MGB chassis and brakes are great as is, but the car is severely underpowered. Adding more...
Sounds like an updated version of the old B&M Clutchflite. Also affectionately known as the Clutchbomb!
If I had a C3 I'm sure I would start down the rabbit hole of suspension, brakes, engine, transmission, etc just trying to make it as good as a C5....
One last caveat,. Before you rush off to but a bunch of mg parts based on my replies, check with the ratsun forum. Some of the engine parts I...
Your carb is probably something uniquely Japanese but you could swap on some SUs or get a manifold for a downdraft 2bbl Weber DGV or side draft...
Many Japanese auto engines of that era were basically copies of British engines. That Datsun engine is a copy of the B-series Austin and is...
I don't know if I would go with a Brookville body. I've been looking at Model A's lately and nice, running roadsters are going for less than...
[ATTACH] One other note on the IRS. In 1993 the XJS rear brakes were moved outboard. That makes them easier to service but adds a couple of lbs...
Wires with knock-offs have always had a special appeal to me. [ATTACH][ATTACH]
Very nice! Some quarter windows might look good and improve visibility.
Kind of remind me of how a few years ago the old guys in our car club really did not want to do car show registration online with credit cards....
A few years ago we had a 1960s M6 McLaren in the shop. Complete car, but not running from being stored in a shed for twenty years. The owner...
I use 1157 LEDs that have projector lenses on the end in addition to the LEDs around the body. Very bright and don't look like a bunch of LED...
I was going to buy a c3 once but wife said No. It didn't have a trunk.
I think I'd be leaning toward C4 Corvette suspension on a truck like this.
I'd pick a 4.11 for those tires and the OD. You'd still only be turning 2600-2700 at 80 and it would accelerate pretty nicely.
Whatever you call it, it's really cool!
Doesn't this forum have a moderator to kick out the traditional stuff? :rolleyes:
The version used on MGs were absolutely the worst. Never round, always out of true, and can only be properly balanced if you had an adapter to...
Got a call from a buddy last night wondering if I knew of any tuning shops that could "detune" his 2022 5.0 F150 before his 16 yr old starts...
I'm 100% certain that's another one of those AI generated images for the "new 2025" whatever. They're all over the Internet and totally fake....
And some guys just do stuff because racecar....
Have you considered using a newer transmission from Ford or GM? You'd need a controller, but the advantage of having more gears and OD might be...
Well, that worked! I grabbed a piece of 1.50 x .065 wall DOM. It was about .003 too large to fit into the tailshaft so I chucked it up and...
