I get all excited for a minute that Jim is back, then realize that it's old. Quit playing with my emotions

Here's another pic

Mine is great. I Engineered the bracket so that 1, the filter is up and away from the rest of the stuff, and two, can be changed without having to remove the bracket. I still cut my oil change time in half, but (gasp) I still have to lift the bonnet. It looks clutered in the pic, but thats due to the low angle. If you llok from on top, its wide open all the way back to the firewall.

It's a Chinese company. Haha. Not that the 90's were all that bad, but I guess Europe, where it's being sold, has less stringent crash tests than here. Same reason you can't buy a Nissan Skyline from a dealer here. It hasn't been through the rigorous crash tests. That, and it's a very high performance car.

My '91 headrests can pull out as well, letting the backs fold down completely.

Not I, but then I haven't been jumping around like Mr Jim either

Just out of curiosity B, where did you hear of a Calmini T bar snapping? Wondering due to the fact that I might be buying a set off the classifieds.

Could also be the connection point where the EGR threads in. Not sure where that is on yours.

Hmmm depends. Where's your dip stick? On mine, there was a slot in the flange on the drivers side so they would fit past the dipstick tube.

Yeah, thats where I was goin with this. I read your write up on the box, and was wonderin about the wires. I'll let ya know how good the write up is once I order and install.

Really only proper way to check for bent valves is by pullin the heads. You could put it all back together and pray it didn't bugger anything up. If you quit drivin right after it died, there shouldn't be any damage, as long as the motor straight died and didn't wind down from high rpm.

R50= :help: :furious: WD21= :cool2: :bow: -bounce-

Which classifieds? If you are talkin about here, I'll see what he wants for em.

Found the kit on ebay. Here's the guys I got it from, they're at 75 bucks, thats what I paid: Ebay body lifts He was pretty quick in turn around, and the kit was a brand new PA. Shipping is reasonable, as it does weigh a bit. It show's he's got 10 left, so you might wanna snag one while ya can, even if you aren't plannin on puttin it on till later. Yes 88, I do need to crank the t bars a bit, but I think I sprung one, cause she won't sit level no matter what I do, and I'm gettin tired of the crappy steering when I crank em, cause my steering box is goin out. Dunno, add that to the list of things to fix.........

Yeah I have Calmini's upper control arms, and a set of JGC coils in the rear with a 1/2 in spacer. I had just the JGC's but due to the added weight of the tire carrier, I decided to add the spacers that 88 gave me. They're the tough rubber matting material, and I haven't had any issues with em yet.

I'll have to do some driving to see how it works out. Dunno, no real road trips planned yet, but I do have a group of guys at my school that want to do some wheelin.

Cool, thats exactly the info I was lookin for. Thanks Wheelman

So I finally got it all back together. It would have been done soon, but this past week was hell as far as school was concerned. I followed the write up in the how to section, and it worked pretty well. And with out further adue...... Before: After: AS I mentioned before, I tweeked my relocation kit for my oil filter. I finally made a bracket for it and put 90 degree nipples to keep the oil from draining out as much. I also added an oil cooler between the radiator and the fan.

search feature cleaverly desguised as a search button in the upper right corner It's way more accurate than your average 8 ball Please 'scuse the sarcasim, you'll find alot as you get used to us, welcome to the nut house.

Any one else know?

Duct tape is rated at 100 mph. Not sure what that translates into in radial velocity, but I'd imgaine it would hold.

Nope, not at all. The crank rotates 2:1 in relation to the cams. For every 1 cam revolution, the crank goes around twice. Basic 4 stroke engine. Yes you could line up #1 TDC from the distributor, but unless you pull a valve cover, you might be 180 degrees out with your cams. That means your exhaust vavles are opening when the pig is trying to fire, you run into clearance issues and all sorts of nastys.

Nah, distributor is gear driven off the crank, so that won't do you any good. Venison(sp?) Mmmmmmm

Here's a good place to ask..... Does any one have a template I can use? Mine are completely hosed of years of abuse, and I just ripped the remaining shreds out when I did my BL. If someone who has already made a set (yep, I need pass and drive) and wouldn't mind sending me a template, I can find some way to compensate. Thanks M.M.

Hehe, here's another one that needs to be moved to the "How To" section, comedy and information. Learn is fun!!!! BTW, IF I was a mod, I'd move it (hint hint hint)
