    Rearend noise

    I've been doing a lot of work on my rearend. It's an 8.25, and I recently broke the spiders and tore the carrier up. New carrier w/bearings and a lunchbox locker to replace the spiders. Took everything apart, pinion out, seals replaced and cleaned it the best I could. Used an entire case of...

    Roof Rack

    Has anyone put a roof rack on a 4-door sedan? Would one from a wagon fit or maybe something aftermarket?

    Wheel hop

    Last week I installed a Spartan locker in my 8.25 (lunchbox locker). When I accelerate hard and with traction I get pretty violent wheel hop, it's even happened in the rain. When I do a brake stand or purposely break the tires loose for a burnout and keep the tires spinning, no problems. No...

    Oil smoke at idle

    I have a fresh 360, 11:1 compression, mild roller cam, magnum heads. kb107's with rings gapped to 0.032". I have about 500 miles on it so far, but driving it every day. I took it out last Saturday to an autocross event and ran a few laps. One of my buddies noticed it smoked a little at idle...

    Window weather stripping

    Has anyone replaced their window weather stripping and have any recommendations? I assume I can use a pretty universal piece and just trim to size but I haven't gotten a chance to look much into it yet. I'm planning on both the inside and outside bottom pieces on all four doors (sedan). The rest...

    Proportioning Valve Upgrade

    My proportioning valve is sticking under hard braking (i.e. idiots pulling in front of me, me locking up all four wheels to keep to t-boning a dummy). It's happened twice in the past six months, the pedal immediately gets hard, and the front brakes (seem to) drag and become pretty poorly...

    Iso-delete Options

    I'm looking into doing an iso-delete on my volare, firm feel seems a bit more pricey than what I'm wanting to spend. What are other the ways to do this- I remember seeing there's ways to swap shock plates, maybe there's a way to fab up the same thing from firmfeel?

    904 third gear flare

    I have a 904 behind a mild 360, probably around 350 hp and 325 ft/lbs I'm guessing. I built the trans with beefier clutches, and had it behind a stock 360 magnum for a bit as well. Has about 8,000 miles on it total, and I drive the thing hard. Stoplight to stoplight, there's never really much of...

    360 power

    I built a 360 for my Volare sedan. It's been a great project and I've finally gotten it together and running good enough to take it to the drag strip for test and tune. It ran 14.2's in the quarter, 2.089 in the 60', but when I plug that into the online power calculators, everything puts out my...
