Parts for Sale / FC LS1 motor mounts
« on: February 15, 2022, 03:06:45 PM »
BNIB mounts for an LS ready to go $300 OBO  (I'm tripping over these in my garage - make an offer! )
Shipped at buyer's expense - located in North Texas (76240)

These are Pez / Ronnin Pedestal mounts that use the GTO pedestals.  I asked for them tacked together so that I could tig weld and powder coat them.  They've never been installed.

Come with mounts, biscuits and pedestals - everything in pics...

Drivetrain / 50's Fluid Coupling Video (how torque converter works)

This is similar to the old "how a differential works" video floating around a few months ago. 

Enjoy:

Drivetrain / Re: Mopar 360 into Rx7

A guy on here has (or had) a mopar powered Rx7 like yours.  His name is MoparX or something like that.  Look him up, I'm sure he'd be willing to point you in the right direction.

And tell your teacher you're fixing leaky apex seals for good with this "repair"  ;)

Side mirror triangle with tweeter provisions would be awesome!  Are you 3D printing these?  I'd pay $30 for a pair...

Interested in fuel rail covers if you still for sale...

I remember when Robert DeNiro fell for this same trick on a Saturday Night Live skit, haha.

Time to return and report.  Yesterday I bought an '04 Forester XT, automatic with 140K miles.  Great little car!  It's the fastest "210hp" car I've ever driven in.  First thing to do is install a boost gauge then take it to the local 1/8 mile track for some baseline runs :)

I'm excited a was able to sell my wife's car and grab this before our baby has come; I will now be able to carry on the proud tradition my father established with me of hitting triple digit speeds on the ride home from the hospital with the new born.  For me it was in Holland on their autobahn in a 1983 turbo volvo wagon (I drove that same car to high school beating up on all the honda civics).  Now with my daughter I should be able to hit 100 fairly easily before my wife notices what I'm up to :D  Then I'll have to see if I can make the subbie last 16 more years.

Guess you already ordered one, but when I worked at STS we had a 90° elbow that I'm pretty sure was 3x3.88 (to fit the lt1 oval shaped throttle body).  Might try that if 3.75 is too small.

Oh man, I started that same process 3 years ago, lol.  I did a write up on what you'll need to do to granny's cradle to get the ls1 / lq4 to fit.  Nothing hard at all if you have a grinder.  I'd post a link but am typing this on an iPad and haven't figured out how to do that yet...  Try searching for threads started by me though.  Good luck too!

Drivetrain / Re: 8.8 in a fc

What gear are you running in your 8.8?  I've got my ronin kit and ford rear end in the garage but am looking for different ring and pinion.  Has 3.73 in it right now but I'm thinking I should go lower.

Drivetrain / Re: Clutch is good then bad then good again then WORSE

Explain this sucking method...  I've got the same issue on my 97 miata right now.  Had a leaking SC so I replaced and bled it and now pedal is worse.  Had wife push pedal as i worked bleeder valve.  That didn't quite fix it, so I held clutch pedal open with a bar, opened bleeder valve and let the fluid reservoir drain from max to min and refilled it 4 times before closing valve and releasing clutch pedal.  Still will not shift into gear, have to shut car off and start it in first.  Hardly any '

I just noticed right before I quit though, the fluid reservoir cap on the MC has a torn gasket...  I wonder if air is leaking out when I push the pedal?

Drag Racing / Re: Typical Reliable 60' Times With FC NA Rear?
« on: April 04, 2013, 08:11:01 PM »
No fun - I had my NA rear live for a few years with 300rwhp - I always had the stock wheels and tires on it though.   60 "footed" around 2.1 most of the time.  2.03 being the best.
