    Tranny issue.........

    I'm guessing it's either low on fluid or the fluid needs changed, but when I take a hard right, the tranny feels like it goes back to 1st gear and then you start accelerating and it runs up to about 4500 rpms and then shifts a few seconds later. Also, sometimes if you have to stop hard, it feels...

    control arms............

    If I understand this correctly, I need to buy control arms for a t-bird since my mark has been converted to coil suspension? Are they hard to change? I really don't want to pay for labor too if I can change them myself. :D

    Ah crap.........

    So I went out to my car on my break just a few minutes ago to smoke and noticed that there was some water under my drivers side front wheel and it was dripping slowly from the back of the inner fender well. I didn't think anything of it since I went through the carwash this morning. As I was...

    Weird noise.

    I've noticed lately that when I'm going forward or reverse at low speeds and I hit the brakes, I hear sound similar to a fan hitting the shroud or like when we were kids and put playing cards in bicycle spokes and I can feel it too. It definitely sounds like it's coming from underneath the car...

    New best.

    So besides that fact that the corrected altitude last night was 2,000 feet higher and 45 degrees warmer than the night of my maiden voyage and the car wanted lay down a bit on the big end, I'd say the gears helped a bit. :D 2.21-60ft 9.60 @ 74.69- 1/8th 14.70 @ 93.19- 1/4

    Autometer Tach.......

    Which wire do you hook the green wire to? I know I could get a 9117 tach adapter, but I don't want to spend 80 bucks to get one. I met a guy one night at the track and he said they just hooked the green wire to the factory tach wire and it worked just fine, but he never told me what color or...

    So........

    I got my 3.73's and traction lock in last night. I didn't get to go to the track, but I did do some testing on a back road. I'm as happy as a fat kid in a candy store. The vibration I had at 70mph is gone now too. I can't wait until next friday. :D:D:D

    Aftermarket cams?

    Anyone have any sound clips or videos of their cars with aftermarket cams? I usually steer clear of re-grinds, but sean hylund motorsports has some good deals on re-grinds and I'm a cheap fella. What do you think? Anyone using his re-grinds?

    Torque converter opinion...........

    Now this post isn't intended to offend anybody. I'm pretty sure I'm going with a converter from Lonnie, but what's your opinion on this converter? It also says they give a tccoa member discount...

    Weight reduction.............

    So here in missouri we run a class called true radial. I was curious as to what I could take off my car to lighten the load a bit. I'm going to relocate the battery to the trunk, remove the air ride compressor and stuff, maybe remove the passenger side seat for the night, etc. I'd like to keep...

    Air compressor weight.....

    My car has coils all the way around, but the compressor and stuff is still in the front by the right front tire. How much does this stuff weigh? I'm considering taking it out to help lighten up the front a smidge. Anyone have the assembly to weigh? :D

    Check engine light..........

    So I've noticed that my check engine light has been coming on after hot rodding around, but goes off after normal driving for awhile. I've also noticed that after hot rodding around, it smells like someone got a perm at a salon. So I'm going to put 2 and 2 together and hopefully someone has some...
