    Tom's 40mm rear caliper upgrade

    No. Gen 1 and Gen 2 thru 2000 all use exactly the same Brembo single piston floating caliper. 01-02 ABS models were very slightly different - pads were different shape.

    Tom's 40mm rear caliper upgrade

    I did Tom's 40mm kit 20+ years ago. I pulled the prop valve spring and still run 13" rotors all around. It stops like mad with great balance and the rear discs turn blue at the track because THEY WORK!

    Control Arm Bushing Up-Grade-...

    For anyone NOT using urethane bushings, or monoball bearings in your suspension the following excerpts from the Service Manual are important. Some warnings about not fully tightening bushings in shock eyes, wishbone pivots, swaybar end links are repeated CONSTANTLY throughout. And here are the...

    1994 RT/10 Idler Pulley fail

    The accessories and drive on G1&2 cars has pretty good commonality with the Magnum series of V 6-8-10 engines.

    Gen 2 vs. Gen 5 GTS

    At some point, parts and maintenance issues will hit the Gen 5 more than any other due to lower production numbers and more complex systems. That said, they are the pinnacle of the breed as far as a complete modern package.

    Borla Cat Back

    I did 3" Random Tech metal cats into 3" Moroso Spiral Flows, then out to my 2.5" x-pipe. Deep, throaty rumble at idle, but not objectionable. On-throttle is nice and full. At Hastings Viper Rendezvous, I had the quietest Viper out of 51 cars...

    Wanted Gen 3 front fenders

    PartsRack has been sitting on a bunch of NOS painted body parts for quite a while. It's the middle of the week, so give Jon a call.

    Priming Motor that sat for 6 months. Did I screw up?

    FYI - if you are cranking to prime, or for compression check, I think there is a "clear flood" routine that will run automatically if you hold the throttle wide open when cranking. It kills the injector pulses and works like a flooded carb rescue routine.

    ACR Koni Shock Manual Supplement

    The Koni 2812's are great shocks. They are properly valved and sprung for the application. Before you remove the shocks, give the adjusters a couple shots of penetrating oil and a little time to free up. Dust and grit gets into the works and can cause issues. Pulling the wheels off, using...

    ACR Koni Shock Manual Supplement

    Thank you Bob. That's exactly how I set my ride heights. 4-5 inches is a good range. You want roughly 1/2" rake in the chassis front-rear.

    ACR Koni Shock Manual Supplement

    As you lower the ride height, negative camber will increase (tires lean in at the top). I always adjust my shocks to 0-0 on bump-rebound when making ride height adjustments, then jounce the suspension to find the neutral position. Don't go crazy on adjustments - 3 turns should be noticeable...

    Leaking valve cover gasket, even after replaced?

    You must not be very old. I've see a number of stamped seel VCs on cork gaskets that were warped out of plane, or cast covers that were overtorqued and cracked.

    Replace or not?

    Change your coolant, grease your ball joints, change plugs and wires, drive carefully while you source new tires. Enjoy!

    The Quest for 275 MPH

    Where are the hatches to load the ice? Will you use dry, or water ice? How does the cold side plumbing get from back to front?

    Leaking valve cover gasket, even after replaced?

    Something is not straight/level, or damaged.

    Leaking valve cover gasket, even after replaced?

    I had a similar issue a few months ago - same side. Turns out it was a bolt hole at the lower rear corner hat had some crud in it and the bolt wasn't torquing correctly. Pull the valve cover again and check it for any warpage. Remove the gasket, wipe it good and dry, then wipe the head mating...

    Hydraulic clutch

    For more than 20 years and at least 40 trips to the track, I NEVER bled the slave cylinder. I would use the turkey baster and put clean fluid in the reservoir about every 5 years. The second time I needed to pull my transmission out recently, I was ready with a remote bleeder system. It's all...

    Accident today....Need advice

    Insist that they start the process at the front by lifting the tires clear, loosening all the wishbone cam nuts enough to rotate the fixed ends reasonably freely. Don't let the cams drop out of their slot stops and have them check to be sure the ears are not bent over from previous attempts. Run...

    Id window frame - help!

    It looks like your frame has a fairing for the side windows to tuck under, while the '94 has an indent from the outboard side. I just remember my '93 leaked terribly in the rain when I was driving it back from Hennessey's on the Katy Freeway after VOI #1 - both from the header and the windshield...

    The Quest for 275 MPH

    Beautiful! You lay out your plumbing like I do: Make sure the adapters and end connectors are pointing the hose in the right direction at both ends. There's almost never a question about which hose goes where at reassembly.

    T56 tranny parts

    It's hard for me to believe that with as many T-56's as there are out there that so many parts are obsolete now.

    Yet another overheat issue HELP

    Your impeller is not the best style, but it will work. Go to your auto parts store and buy a coolant fill/purge kit. Start the engine and let it warm up to t-stat open and fan cycle point with heater valve open. With the funnel 1/3 full above the header tank you should begin to see trapped air...
