    TOB? Or worse?

    Cars chirped off and on for a year now, never got it fixed. Adjusted the clutch and it stopped for awhile pretty good. The other day it started up, this time realllll bad. I tried adjusting the clutch today to no avail, screams like a high pitched mofo and now the car literally dies at idle...

    Strange noise up front under hood when clutch engaged

    It's almost like a dull whine. It's when I press the clutch all the way in, it's definitely up front in the car under the hood / front area. When I release it, it goes away. Any idea?

    Clutch pedal vibrating bad

    Clutch was replaced not too long ago, not sure what brand it was. Always felt nice and tight when I first got it. Lately, feels a tad spongy at times, and the pedal vibrates pretty bad in 2nd and 3rd (but worst in 2nd) while accelerating at certain rpms. Doesn't seem to do it much at idle. I was...

    Heater Core Hose

    Heater core hose blew the hose off the one going to intake today after pushing it hard WOT, probably about 5500-5800 rpms between shifts. Threw coolant under the hood and what not, but the hose is perfectly fine. It just came off. Person said it appeared to be because of hose clamp, which I...

    Oil Consumption and best oil weight

    Consuming a bit of oil every couple weeks, car runs great or at least seems to, no blue smoke that I notice, no visible leaks. Figure it's burning off somewhere, or from me pushing it harder. Anyways my question is, I've read about guys switching older SN95's at higher mileage (100-120K) to...

    GT Vac Lines

    Not long ago I replaced the vac line going to the back of the plenum, the front of the plenum under the IAC, and some other one I can't remember. Which ones am I missing? Which other ones would you recommend I change? And if you can post pics that'd be helpful.
