    IRS Mounting Bolt Dimensions

    Thanks for the info, I attached an image. Those would be the "Subframe rear bracket-to-body bolts" correct? I guess searching for bolts is not my strong suit cause it says 12 x 1.75 x 35mm with a 15mm head size, but when I search for that I get nothing but bolts with 18mm head sizes...

    IRS Mounting Bolt Dimensions

    Anyone know the dimensions for the 15mm bolts that go in vertically for the IRS mounts? Length, thread pitch, that sort of thing. Or a link to a TM that I can read on it?

    Possible bad lash adjuster?

    Well, the noise completely goes away with the front belt off. I am going to guess that it is the Whipple in need of a rebuild. When you grab the pulley of a supercharger and quickly rotate it clockwise and counter clockwise, kinda like jiggling it, should there be some play / noise? Or should...

    Recently built motor making noises.

    I could be 100% wrong here, in which case I have an issue too. But I am pretty sure in the first video that is the injectors. Mine never made that noise and once I installed larger injectors with a Fore return system, the noise was there. Took a mechanic's stethoscope and put it on each injector...

    Possible bad lash adjuster?

    Changed the oil and the noise went away, at least for now. Took it out for a 20 minute drive and the noise didn't show up. Was doing it in about 5 minutes before. I tried taking the blower belt off to test it before, it didn't make the noise, but I am unsure if that was the solution because the...

    Metco Double Bearing Idlers Question

    That set will work fine with any supercharger. As RI-SVT said, you just want to use one of the 100mm ones next to the supercharger snout. That will allow a little bit of extra belt surface area on the supercharger pulley. As far as I know any combo of the 90 and 100mm will work, as long as you...

    Possible bad lash adjuster?

    I have this fairly loud slapping noise occurring. It does not happen when the car is idling cold. It only taps one or two times as the car starts up and then nothing. But it really shows up after going for a drive. After about 5 minutes of driving around it starts a steady tapping with the...

    Idler pulley bolt.

    I am 99% sure I have an idler pulley going bad. But before I go and spend $$ on new bearing or a new pulley, I would like to bolt on an original pulley to see if the noise goes away. The problem is, I don't have any of the original hardware for the idlers. Anyone have a part # or a bolt size or...

    Did I ruin my paint?

    So before the winter weather hit, I stripped the car with a dawn wash + a regular wash, did a clay bar and put a light coat of wax on the car before finally covering it up. It sat covered for about 6 months until today when I took it out did a very light dawn wash again followed by a 2nd normal...

    Process of removing wax and sealant to start over?

    So about 12 months ago I stripped the car with a dawn wash and did paint correction + sealant + wax. After sitting over the winter the wax has a sticky texture to it instead of the smooth that it was before. There are also a few minor scratches that I missed and would like to take care of. I...

    Water condensation or head gasket issues?

    Okay, recently had my cats off for tuning purposes. Went out today and started the car to pull it into the driveway and reinstall the cats. There was no vapor for about a minute until the car started to warm up, then it started very slowly and eventually developed into this. The vapor dissipates...

    Horrid belt squeal.

    Ever since I bought this car there has been horrible belt squeal. It would scream on startup, and then go away as it warmed up. When I was doing all the fuel system work and lower pulley work I noticed that the bearing on my tensioner let go, replaced that thinking the wobble was the source of...

    Reducing the steering ratio?

    Does anyone know of any way to reduce the stock steering ratio or of any aftermarket steering racks that will fit our cars that have a reduced steering ratio?

    Did I hurt my Cobra?

    Okay so for anyone not following my build thread, I did a Fore level 2 fuel system, and upped the boost on my 2.3l Whipple to ~24-25psi. Whipple said it should be okay for the redline I was at, so I went for it. Car performed well on the dyno and aside from a squeaky belt on cold starts the car...
