Thanks, but yes, exactly, lol. I do indeed do my own work, but that seems like a pain to me, having watched a video of a guy doing exactly that: drop exhaust, trans x member, drive shaft, etc. They make it look straightforward, but the way I work, it would take me 2 days and I would be fretting...

That's a badass shifter, love the look, and love the interior/body mods to go with it. Unique and old school! I'm a fan of the Hurst Olds 442(no, I don't have one, but I am the second owner of my grandpa's '68 Olds Delta 88 455). I've looked at installation videos for aftermarket shifters, and...

Google doc spreadsheet. My family is driving 4 vehicles, so I have a lot to keep track of across them all, especially for the older vehicles that don't have 'minders'. I do all the maintenance, so it's the only way I can keep my head around up coming oil changes, tire rotations, engine and cabin...

Welcome to the club. Aside from that, how are you enjoying your new ride? You should revise your profile pic with your ride so we can all see, maybe revise your signature, too. But welcome!

Update: the braking clunk is gone, car sounds and feels like new! At first, I bought just the LH lateral link, since it had a lot of play in the ball joint. Since my last post, I discovered that the RH tension link also had play, but it seemed at the time to be a lot less worse than the LH...

Just noticed this thread, I live in Canton!

@wingnutt I used to have an 86 Dodge Shelby Turbo. In fact, I was digging through old photos and "rediscovered" this car. It was my first turbo car. That little thing scooted!

Question for you guys who swap between street and track pads without changing rotors(or just change pads frequently, eg @chedder wrote in one of his replies to another brake thread): How do you bed in the new pads on the old rotor surface? Background In the old days, I would always turn drums...

Since you bought it used, one easy thing to rule out is whether or not the rear tires have worn identically. From personal experience, I can tell you that unevenly worn tires will cause the car to pull one direction or the other. After 25k miles, I had developed a flat in one of the rear tires...

@boostmark , @ORRadtech and @txgt , you were all correct! Today, when I was installing my winter tires, I gave the discs another tug(wheels off), and found one of the lower ball joints at the front of the car had play. I found it on the driver's side; of the two joints up front, it was the rear...

@geep81 , it looks like the center sections of your louvers are sagging. Is that by design or age?

In my sig: 2020 GT, PP1 with staggered set up, Brembo front brakes, AE, currently sitting at 56k miles For a long time now, I hear a clunk when first applying the brakes. This is most noticeable at low speeds, when there is less competing noise, such as when moving the car in the drive way, or...

Yeah, I get it, just poking some fun. When I take roundabouts, I always fantasize about doing this, then the rational side of my brain kicks in and I'm a good boy

What, you didn't modulate the throttle and finish the drift all the way around?

Long post: My local shop was sort of mom and pop, where I'd had glass replaced before(infrequently, but I've lived here over 32 years, so a few times). When my Mustang developed a crack, my insurance still recommended the same location, which had been bought out by Safelite. I went with them...

I was just reading up on the policy for a local track. They confirmed that they don't have the safety equipment or training yet to handle EV accidents, but it seems they want to work on getting there. So they are banned for the moment.

Welcome aboard!

I live in SE MI, drive the car year round. Get good snow tires, and have fun. Snow mode helps, but sometimes I leave it in Normal or sometimes even Sport and challenge myself(I have the six speed, so snow mode only affects the throttle map, which reduces torque demand for a given pedal...

@ted_naps , let us know how it goes, please

Dude, what wheels are those?!
