    Re: 87 Shelby Lancer #623 Randomness Thread

    Yeah, I am certainly aware of the effects of excessive lowering. I don't want it dumped on the ground (just lowered and leveled out, I hate the saggy ---), that was a side effect of what I was...

    Re: 87 Shelby Lancer #623 Randomness Thread

    Stock suspension is back on for now. I want to drive this car this winter, and having it slammed on the ground might not work so well for that.

    I have the suspension figured out though and I know...
  4. Re: So what are you guys doing about 4th/5th gear knock?

    Mine has less than 2k on it with venolias and oil pressure is great.

    However, my head does seem noisier than your typical 8v. There is a bit of clatter in there.

    I have this same problem as well, exactly.

    I can rail thru all the gears and not have a problem, but if I am cruising on the freeway and mash in 4th or 5th the light comes on. I havent seen any...

    Re: BRZ bigshot

    Having driven a BRZ quite a bit and plenty of old TD shitboxes I can say they are for two different crowds (obviously). The BRZ is not intended for the market that would even consider a FWD car.

    I used the OEM spacers that were on the outside of the stock setup and moved them on the inside with a nice thick washer as well. Actually worked out really slick.

    Yeah it seemed like it went in far enough. It certainly stopped the oil spewing out of it.

    The more I am reading things it seems like axle bind is the likely culprit. For now I think I'll just...

    It's probably 3" lower than it was. I really did not think it was going to be that low. There is certainly a possibility it is the axle angle causing it, but I can't help but wonder if my...

    Sorry to bump an old thread but even after reading this whole thread I am kind of unsure still. This is for my SL.
