Looking for a good clear coat to clean up scuffs and scratches on alloy wheels, any recommendations (or stay away from)? There seems to be a lot of choices from searching, any that stand out for durability. Thanks Jim

Way off the normal topics but with all the mechanical types on here maybe some ideas will surface. I have an 18ft 2 axle 7k flat bed trailer, it uses 1/2x20 wheel studs and white painted spoked wheels. Pretty standard stuff. Every time I take a wheel off the lug nuts come off hard like the...

I tried this a while back in tire section and didn't generate much response, so I want to ask again. Looking at new tires on the front soon and wondering how noisy the NT555G2's are on "concrete" pavement. I had Nitto's on an 03 Cobra and liked them but they were obnoxious on concrete. I don't...

for vertical links, street toy, good, bad, better. What do you like, why? Thanks Jim

might be my oldtimer showing but I can't figure out how to PM someone? JIm

don't know if this is kosher or not. wanted to draw attention to wanted add for vertical links. Have a noise I'm trying to find and didn't save my take offs. Jim

looking for a set of stock or whatever for testing, chasing a noise and didn't keep my stock on removal. 18-21? buy or borrow?, I'm in north east Indiana. don't want to wrap up a pile of money but need to find the noise, doing process of elimination. Tanks Jim

Not long after I get my alignment figured out I will be due for front tires. I'm leaning towards NT 555 G2's, I had Nitto's on my 03 Cobra about 10 years ago and liked them except they screamed on concrete pavement. I don't remember what model they were. Any one running the G2's are they very...

I'm having an alignment check for a little unusual tire wear (maybe not unusual on these cars). If I decide to make changes in the camber should I do plates or are the camber bolts reliable. It's a street car, might see a drag strip a few times but nothing hardcore. Are there camber plates that...

I've read a bunch and see the front end on these are hard on tires, I'm noticing cupping on the inner of both front almost more on shoulder than tread. The tread is wearing pretty even side to side. Front end is stock and it's more daily driver/toy than raced. I am taking it in next week for an...

This is a rockford fosgate 12" 300w but there are many similar. as you can see I wired inputs to the rear speaker harness right above the sub. I ran 50amp feed back to a buss above sub and wired from there. Things I like about this one in particular is each wire group is on plugs, so I can pull...

so as to not hijack jd_cobra's post it got me wondering just how hard is it to get the console out of one of these. mines an auto if that matters. does the cloth boot around shifter and ebrake handle stay in place or come out with console housing. I'm itching to get at the underside of the cup...

mine are the standard (analog?) gauges, the glare from the sun was making it impossible to see either gauge mid day so after much fiddling around I found an easy fix to share with anyone interested. I cut 2 pieces of black felt to lay in the housing in front of the plastic bezel. The felt had a...

I received and installed my outerwares pre filter today, The 20-3267 recomended by Nick (at outerwares}fits perfectly on the GT350 filter used in the FRP power pack kit. I ordered the blue in hopes it would match car and it's pretty close. I also noticed the air box seal has made a perfect...

Well I have searched till I'm cross eyed. Would like to run a pre filter on my frp power pack, if I understand this right it is the same as gt350 air filter. I'm not finding anything big enough or I'm not measuring correctly? Anyone That can point me in the right direction, I would much...

anybody aware of any thing that can be done to get a real fm antenna on these cars? Mines a 20 and has the shark fin and it's useless for fm. I live just far enough out in the sticks that the radio picks up little use full stations. I would like to put an old fashion wire antenna on it but I...

I continue to see guys recommending lower gears but I can't find anyone who claims to have them behind the auto. I would like to go 3:90's but I'm worried the 10 speed would be tripping all over its self in the first couple gears. Anybody?

got my stripes on today, what a difference in looks. I was a little unsure but I like them.

anyone have access to a labor guide for these cars, I'm wondering how much time to R&R ring and pinion on these IRS cars? Thanks Jim

for anyone running 391's or 409 gears with the auto how does the trans act. Do you like them, I wonder if 1st is almost wasted it would rev so fast. And ya I'm going to ask how much mileage change do you notice. I didn't buy it for mileage but I drive it a lot so it is a consideration. Like...
