  1. I like to post pics of my setup too.
  2. I have never seen cam bolts at the hardware store.
  3. The 4" 90 doesn't restrict a thing. I don't think I am missing anything performance wise.
  4. Just go to pepboys and build your own.
  5. THey should fit. The lug pattern is the same. Take a ruler and place it where the wheel meets the hub measure your backspacing to the back edge of the rim.
  6. I've been very happy with my Firestone Destination M/Ts.
  7. I think they were 3/8 coarse with split lock washers at the nut and flat washers top and bottom. Tyler will confirm this if i'm right. Get a spare lock washer as the stud closest to the motor is near impossible to get a wrench on and you are better off putting a lock washer at the bolt head too and hitting it with an air impact to get the torque on it. The other two you can get a wrench on it.
  8. He needs the length of the studs on the strut to body mounting bracket.
  9. I also like the platinum +4s. I'm running denso iridiums now and will go back eventually.
  10. That combo is OME HD front and OME medium rears. AC actually sells OME springs with the name removed and call them by different names. OMEs angles bad aren't bad at all and shouldn't cause any problems. You will only get about 1.5" out of them and maybe a little more in back.
  11. It should be working pretty good then. The only issue I had when mine was set up like yours was it would get wet in heavy rain through the hood gap. A split hose on the edge like mine will usually seal it off there. If you still have an issue you could get a K@N drycharger.
  12. Change out the tubing up to the throttle body. The stock one is pretty restrictive. You can get pretty creative with those pep boys parts.
  13. Build your own. Here is a thread when I built mine. Between the intake and exhaust, it was definitely worth it. http://www.4x4parts.com/ubbthreads/showfla...part=1&vc=1 Here is a pic of how mine came out.
  14. If you went from 235/75/15 tires, they have a different alignment spec for the larger tire pathfinders. I don't know if that is your issue but I know it is different with larger tires. If your camber is off, I can see that happening with positive camber.
  15. There is a power loss using propane but your engine lasts longer due to propane burning so much cleaner. I heard that the power loss is up to 20%.
  16. Here they are at amazon for 148 to the door. http://www.amazon.com/Warn-29091-Premium-M...0439&sr=8-1
  17. Yes, depending on how far you have it taken apart. If the strut is disconnected, you just have to remove the circlip holding the shaft into the CV. You can tweak the spindle down and push the shaft back enough to where it clears.
  18. Opening up to 2.5" to the cats, theoretically, reduces some of the low end torque potential. When I had mine done, we flared out to 2.5" just after the pipes bend to go back to the muffler. That way, I still have the tube sizing at stock size for the first 3 feet, then flaring out to the 2.5" for the rest of the way, cutting down on restriction. It is also cheaper to do it this way too compared to going all the way up to the cats. I paid$280 from the after bends back in 2.5" with a dynomax muffler. You shouldn't need the other resonator/muffler but if you want it whisper quiet, you may as well.
  19. Backspacing is the amount of inches the rim extends back from the mounting plane area of the hub. You want about 4.5" backspacing or less to clear the spring perches with 31"s. You want 4" or less with 32"s or larger tires. This is assuming you are using 8" wide rims. One note, the less backspacing, the more the wheel extends out on the other side past the fender.
  20. Curious to see. My ball joints alone were way over that.
  21. Rancho only lists their RSX series for the R50. I think the 9000 series are from a Ford.
  22. I have a set of RSX17000s. Had them on for about 500 miles. My opinion is that they are absolute garbage. Less dampening and more bottoming out than the old stock ones. I have KYB rears now. If anyone wants the RSXs, i'll give them away for the price of shipping.
  23. We used to use lysol also. We would spray it into the intake for the ventilation system. Then, we would not use the AC for a few days just using the vent and repeat the lysol treatment. That usually took care of it. We usually have pretty low humidity here in northern cali so the ducts would dry out. Good for getting the smell out of the vents on a smokers car too.
  24. I bought mine from amazon too. Mine didn't have studs and bolted right on with included nuts. Wierd. They were $124 with free shipping a couple months ago. What changed in 98?
