Greetings, Before we get started, here's the setup I've been running since 2009: - Spec Stage 3+ Clutch Kit - Fidanza aluminum flywheel w/steel insert - Steeda Double Hook Clutch Quadrant & Clutch Adjustment Kit - Maximum Motorsports Clutch Pedal Height Adjuster - Fiore Micro-Click...

Ashley, I obtained all of the parts and completed my installation yesterday afternoon. I am setup exactly as your diagrams show using your recommended parts. Big difference over stock! I have a new Spec Stage 3+ clutch kit with the Lethal TOB retainer sleeve that now have about 500 miles...

Ashley, I ordered the parts, but found a Fiore micro-click firewall adjuster so I ordered that. Any concerns with that piece? Mint

Greetings, I'm contemplating the best overall setup for the car. I am considering 18 x 9 fronts with 18 x 10.5 rears, and want the overall wheel diameter to be identical or nearly identical to the 25.7" (811 revs/mile) OEM setup. I currently run the stock rims with Goodyear GS-D3's...

Greetings, For those of you who live in hot climates, I learned today that if the engine temperature gets too high, the ECU will turn the AC compressor off. I have driven in traffic in 110+ degree days, and this has hapened to me twice in the last few years - the second time was yesterday...

Greetings, I have noticed when the weather warms up and I run the AC, the idle with the AC on is just high enough (around 850 - 900rpm) to where the car will shake. It doesn't do this when the air is off and it doesn't do it at all in cooler weather, with or without the AC on. The tach...

Greetings, Anyone running a 2.93 upper with a 2LB lower and the 3.2" alternator pulley? I'm looking for the right length belt to run. TIA, Mint

Greetings, I've pulled my water pump due to a coolant leak and have the lower off the car as well. I'm running a 2.93 upper and am contemplating a Metco 4Lb lower kit. I am running a GordsFord HE, LDC cooling mod (with secondary flow restrictor in heater core inlet hose removed). Current...

Greetings, I found a coolant leak at the water pump, and am replacing it. I also want to replace the inner belt since it's contaminated with coolant and chirps all the time now. I have the appropriate equipment - 14mm hex on a 1/2" drive, 4ft of breaker bar, and I know the lower is left...

Greetings, A few weeks ago, I noticed that when sitting at a stoplight my idle makes the car shake but there's no idle stumbling; the tach needle is steady and doesn't move at all. I have 51K miles on the car. To attempt to correct the condition, I've done the following: - Ran some...

Greetings, I installed my H&R race springs using a new factory set of isolators front and rear. My question concerns the rear isolators. Since the rear spring coil diameter is larger than the stock springs, has anyone had any luck using the stock upper isolator? I noticed mine have moved...

Hey All, I wanted to know what would help reduce body roll. I currently have Hans Racecraft Force full length subframes and a MM strut tower brace with MM CC plates. Suspension is stock. I'm running a new set of Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's as well. Any suggestions would be greatly...

Does anyone have this for our cars? Looks like I'll be needing some instructions since I keep hearing heater core replacement in our cars would make Freddy Krueger run away screaming. Thanks in advance! Mint

Greetings, So I have developed a coolant leak inside the car; coolant slowly drips from only the driver side heater duct directly above the gas pedal. I have also noticed additional coolant on the trans hump, driver side only. Passenger side is dry as a bone. Around the same time...

I've installed the MM caster/camber plates this past week and ran into an issue. Here's some information: 1. I'm running stock springs/bilstein shocks/isolators. 2. Before installing the cc plates, I layed a straightedge across both front fenders and measured the distance from the top...
