I'm one of them [wanting to stay legal that is]. Living in the Royal Kingdom Of Kalifornia, it is becoming increasing tough to get smogged with modifications. Many good smog shops have been shut down for minor infractions so there are lots more un-registered cars here still on the road as a...
Pinched off the hoses with a pair of flat locking pliers put the tank in and topped it off. No issues with air bubbles or anything else. Now, I wish I had a ChillerKiller or one of those other AC cooled systems... But aside from the cost I don't want to take my GT500 nose off the car and risk...
That aluminum tank was worth every penny to me. I had it powdercoated black for $35, chased the threads for the bolts as far as I could [they are shallow] and it has been perfect, with no leaks and that's on my daily here in SoCal.
Verus Engineering aluminum heat extractors cut into my stock 17 GT hood perfectly [without even having to paint it - thanks to my great local body shop]. My intention was additional underhood cooling due to the supercharger, along with better aerodynamics backed up by engineering data. I'm not...
Supercharged and plastics applied. I also replaced those poor-quality fasteners on the battery cover and behind the master cylinder with threaded black wingnuts..
So I ordered the Vicrez GT500 side skirts. I don't like the fact that they are 'hollow', so I also ordered the ZL1 Addons GT500 side skirts with the stone guards. And I ordered a set of the Mach 1 front fender trims, based on what I saw a guy do on YouTube. There will be some modifications...
I bought my Edelbrock Stage 2 from Beefcake. Great deal. It's my daily, but I only drive 15-miles to work. The only thing I changed out was the SC coolant tank to a billet aluminum piece that I had powdercoated black.
I've had the MRTs almost since I bought my car. The first set had no labeling. I had to replace the struts early this year, and they have no problem holding the hood up - I always have it open at shows, sometimes for hours and I often open it when I get home to let the engine cool more quickly...
I was having the stalling problem on cold starts [and the first light or so] before I put the nose on, and nearly 800-miles after the supercharger install. New TB, reflashed, many hours on the phone with LiveLink and Edlebrock tech. Can't figure it out.
Looked online and my bookmark to these for a 6-speed and the adapter is no longer active, and on their site DSS no longer shows the driveshaft at all. These are big money so I never pulled the trigger on them. Haven't called to find out what is going on...
When I went to SEMA in 2019 I asked every cleaner rep there about the rear panel and not ONE had a product they could recommend on it. I've been considering having mine painted gloss black.
Newspaper [how many of us have these any more?] is the best on glass to leave it streak free. No special polishes or towels. It works. Makes your hands dirty but works on glass.
