    Anybody get a MGW shifter and NOT like it?

    Just curious...I have a Tri-ax now and it's good, but it's the only aftermarket shifter I've had any experience with and I'm wondering if the MGW is really THAT much better. My only concern (and it may just be the angle of the pics I've seen), is that the shift boot ends up looking like some...

    Blower snout -- arghhhhhhhh!!!

    Man, that blower snout is like a freakin’ piece of soft clay! I THOUGHT I was being so careful while removing the stock pulley. WRONG! I now have some nice gouges in 3 places on the blower snout. :mj: I used a silver Sharpie to cover them - it actually almost matches, but you can definitely see...

    Belt dust - how much is too much?

    I’ve searched and can’t seem to find a definitive answer to the following - how much belt dust is too much?!! I’ve been about 300 miles since installing a BF 2.93 non-slip pulley w/4 idlers.

    ‘Creaking’ noise in front - what is it?

    SID (Search Is Down) post - I seem to recall others complaining of noises coming from the front of their cars. Some have described a ‘clunk’, others a ‘creak’. Mine is a definite creak - especially noticeable at parking lot speeds when turning the wheel. Who else has had this? And what is...

    Why are our steering wheels crooked?

    Am I the only one slightly bothered by the fact that the 9 o’clock position is farther away than the 3 o’clock position? If you haven’t noticed yours lately, look again.

    FIPK install -- tips please

    I just installed the K&N F.I.P.K. today. Easy enough. I knew to leave off the screen and not to drill the hole. However, when it came time to line up the heat shield, I had (am having) a bit of a problem. It just doesn't seem to want to line up right. It wants to point down at too much of an...

    Quadrant and Firewall Adjuster -- Warranty issues?

    Probably covered many times before, but is the quadrant/firewall adj. mod considered to be ‘warranty friendly’? From what I’ve read, it’s only a matter of time before the stock TOB bites it. Seems a shame to not be able to get it fixed under warranty....

    Anybody experience a creaking/buzzing noise that sounds as if it’s coming from the rear deck lid area? Pretty much all the time at idle or a little above? I know these cars will make some noise but this is a bit extreme! Just wondering if this was a ‘common’ noise with hopefully a ‘common’...
