  1. I have a new problem, which may not even be a problem, my crankshaft, that turns all the belts looks loose, like it needs 'balanced' or something. It doesnt wiggle bad, but enough to notice.. Is that a problem?

    I'm totally lost..

     

     

    Could be your harmonic balancer. I just had to replace mine (my Pathy and my Miata) because the darn things about split in two. It has rubber inside of it that will go bad over time with all of the engine heat and ozone. My buddy took a couple of pics when he changed it for me but I can't seem to find the one with the bad part. Anywho, here's the new one out of the box. If you look close you can see the rubber just inside of the rim.

  2. It might depend on where you wheel and what your obstacles consist of, but IMHO sliders have been the best choice I could have made (thanks Thunderbolt). I have only hit my cross member and gas tank skid a couple times, but I've nailed my sliders a good 50 times and they've saved my butt many times.

     

    They are Rocky Road Outfitters Super Sliders (Glenn Wakefield was great to deal with). They measure right at 68" (but of course the small kickout/step is a bit shorter).

     

     

    Thanks. You are the third person that recommended the sliders first. I will, once again, follow most of you guys formula to avoid any "shoulda', coulda', and woulda's" in my build. I never would have guessed 68" though. I'll look up Rocky Road Outfitters when the budget allows.

    The struts have already cleared Australian customs and i'm now waiting for them to arrive. I did some review searches on the Rancho's and the only negative comments i found came from the rears... hence picking the bilsteins for the rears.

     

    Awww great. I went with the Rancho rears. :stickwack:
