    Torque Arm. Here is why.

    I ran a Cortex TA for about a year. I ended up taking it off and going to a heim jointed 3rd link. I still run the Cortex watts link. There wasn't anything really "wrong" with the torque arm, but I had a bit of noise from the front mount/bearing assembly, it weighed a ton and sat so low, it hung...

    Agent 47 mirrors on a '10+

    I have them on my '13. It involved drilling, but it's not hard.

    Clutch line replacement retainer clip

    I lost one, while installing a braided steel line, a few years ago. I made a replacement out of a piece of RC airplane control rod. It's been in there for over 2 years, with no problems!

    S550 Peformance Package (6-Piston Brembo) on S197

    Interesting, thanks for digging that up! I'm intrigued by this swap, but I'd like someone else to be the track guinea-pig first!

    S550 Peformance Package (6-Piston Brembo) on S197

    Has anybody actually run this setup on a car yet? (besides just determining that they fit) I'm concerned that the piston volume of the '15 caliper vs the previous 4-piston would seriously screw up the bias, especially with a master cylinder designed for the smaller 4-piston caliper. Has anyone...

    Just pull the ground cable off the battery. I've welded on mine plenty of times.

    Masters of slicks..come on in

    You want even temperature across the tread, not a specific number. - Low temp in the middle and high on the edges = pressure too low - High temp in middle, low temp on edges = pressure too high.

    Masters of slicks..come on in

    If you can get your hands on a temp gun, that'd go a long way to solving the mystery. I could see arguments both ways, for pressures causing that, but temp would prove it.

    15x11 rears?

    I can see the benefits, (from a fitment point of view) to the 8" wheel. I know a lot of people don't like to cut on their cars and that's completely understandable. There's nothing "wrong" with a narrower wheel, but there will be some mild benefits to the wider size. All other things being...

    15x11 rears?

    This last year, I crewed for an O8.5 car and a x275 car. My x275 car is in chassis-shop jail getting the cage updated to 25.3 after I outran the 25.5.

    15x11 rears?

    If he doesn't "need" a 10" (or wider) wheel, then why does he "need" a 275 tire? If it makes so little power and an 8" wheel is so much more desirable, then why not run a 235 Mickey or a 26x8.5? Why are some people so opposed to doing things the right way? Just because something "can" be done...

    15x11 rears?

    Well, to a point, yes. When outlaw 8.5 started, a few guys were trying to stretch them out on a 12" wheel. IF (and it was a big if) you could get them to seat, it just looked ridiculous and didn't show any performance improvement. Likewise, a few people tried stretching a 275 out on 14" wide...

    15x11 rears?

    I'm sure he could get away with a 26x8.5, or a 235 drag radial. Guys have been 4.70s in the 1/8th on both. But guess what? They run them both on a 15x10" wheel. I don't know why you're so opposed to simply running the correct size wheel, for the given tire, especially when it fits the car...

    15x11 rears?

    You don't use rim screws with radials. Either beadlocks, or Permatex Hi-tack on the bead, when you mount them. We run a 12" wide wheel in x275. That's the correct width for a maximum-effort 275 combo. Anything less than a 10" wheel is giving up contact patch and sidewall control.

    HELP: lower rad. hose for oil cooler

    The hose from Levitown showed up and it's the wrong one. No cooler ports. Of course, FedEx got here about 3min. after Levitown parts closed for the weekend. Grrrrr.

    PCV blockoff plates for CJ intakes??

    Problem is, it doesn't seal at the outer flange. It uses the inner o-ring. You could *probably* get it to seal up, if you used a decently thick piece of aluminum and some RTV. I wish I knew where to get a spare fitting. I've got a buddy with a CNC shop, who could probably make a plug. I just...

    PCV blockoff plates for CJ intakes??

    I searched around a bit, but haven't come up with an answer or solution to this. Does anyone make a block off plate for the PCV port on the intake manifold like the one pictured below? Right now, I've just got a cap over it with a zip tie, but it looks like poo. Sorry for the poor pics...

    ^ That's a different number than I just got back from Levitown. They gave me PN: BR3Z8286BA. We'll find out when it gets here.

    HELP: lower rad. hose for oil cooler

    I wish. These guys here are beyond worthless. I emailed Levitown, but I'm trying to do as much of my own research as I can. I can't believe it's this hard to track down.
