    The headlights are off of my 97 and include the black trim bezels that go beneath the lights. The lights also include the adapters for 9006 lights. Headlights are in decent shape, not show quality but not a project just a decent set of working headlights. $200 for both lights including both...

    Big Red full effort tune

    GOOD GRAVY. Those are some wicked numbers. 140 IAT non-intercooled at that boost? I knew corn was cool but... Wish we could get it everywhere. Can't wait to see what it runs.

    Bad Strut Rod Bushings - The Movie

    Holy smokes this must have been what happened to mine a few weeks back. I had the thermoplastics in there and the strut rod broke where it connects to the frame.

    Underdrive pulleys

    I had an 05 crown Victoria and was able to use the under drive pullies from a 4.6 GT if I recall correctly. Two concerns I have with this. 1. The crown Victoria was a police interceptor model and started to have charging issues after installing the pullies. Turned out these was a few shorts and...

    Steering fluid leak

    Just installed a manual rack kit in my 96 firebird this past winter and have been daily driving it. Woah nelly is parking tough! 275 tires up front make slow speed an absolute bear even with a 15 inch steering wheel. The car is way more fun to drive though, i commend you on going manual it will...

    Strut Rod Catastrophic Failure

    My bushings were roughly a year old. I ordered a new set from SCP as the old ones were the MOOG thermoplastic. They have yet to crack though. Is there a specific orientation that the strut rod should be in? I.E. bent part pointing down etc.

    Strut Rod Catastrophic Failure

    Fortunately I was doing about 25 when this happened under light braking. This caused the wheel to become unsupported and it destroyed my inner fender line and mudflap in addition to bending my fender back slightly so now it interferes with opening the passenger door. I got 2 strut bars from the...

    '93 driveshaft balancing and installation

    I had mine taken to a local driveshaft shop and balanced. Turned out it needed a little weight added. I have yet to install it but I have heard the exhaust and gas tank need to come down.

    engine oil

    Amazon has pennzoil ultra platinum 5w-20 for pretty cheap plus you can use the subscription feature for a little more savings. I've been using that with the wix XP filter and my oil stays noticeabley cleaner longer than with the mobil 1 filter i used before. I think with the subscription it was...

    IRS differential mounts

    I bought a 93 driveshaft and had it balanced. I was told it had a vibration at 2500rpm± but was balanced with a weight and was good up the tested 6000rpm. In my own limited experience I found two 93 driveshafts at the junkyard that were damaged by what looked like a fork lift.
