    Advice to new modders

    Back on original topic: 1). Get the car/transmission you really want. Don't settle for an automatic car if you really want a stick shift. Don't buy a manual car if you want an automatic. I was bit hard by this one back in the day. 2). Do your research and make an end game plan right out of the...

    anyone ever have this situation?

    I have no idea why the pads were worn so unevenly. But then again I never inspected the rotors when I got the car so who knows. Also I spoke too soon on the car shifting easy at redline. That situation is not fixed and I probably need some new motor mounts. I have an hour commute so what I...

    anyone ever have this situation?

    Ok so I received the new rotors, pads, wheel hubs with bearings and axel spindle nuts. I then rented a big torque wrench and 36 MM socket from Autozone. So with all the parts and tools on hand I went to work. I started out by putting the car up on jack stands and pulling off both front tires...

    anyone ever have this situation?

    Update: I checked the car for hub centric rings but the rim was OEM fitment as there was no space to fit any rings. I checked the outer tie rod ends and they look to be just fine. While inspecting the wheel bearings I noticed both my front rotors are destroyed. The pads didn't wear evenly...

    anyone ever have this situation?

    Yes the wheels are aftermarket. I'm the second owner of the car and the previous owner put on black enkei rims with 255/35/20 general G-max AS-03 tires all the way around. We have gotten a lot of rain the past few days so I have not gotten under the car to take a look at it yet. Tomorrow...

    anyone ever have this situation?

    There is definitely some driveline vibration because the car is very hard to shift over 5000 rpm's. It doesn't grind but it just won't go into gear leaving me stuck in neutral. I did research on that symptom here and found that's a common problem usually related to needing new motor mounts and a...

    anyone ever have this situation?

    Yes still on the stock driveshaft. I'll get under the car tomorrow and poke around. You guys gave me some good starting points on where to start looking. Much appreciated.

    Oh and 100% stock suspension. My next mod was going to be lowering springs with new shocks and struts. But I'd like to get this sorted out first.

    anyone ever have this situation?

    So far all I have done is replace all 4 tires and then post here to see if anyone has had the same thing happen to them. Rims have enkei center caps and look kind of like these: Amazon.com: 16x7 Enkei PSR5 (Matte Black) Wheels/Rims 5x114.3 (493-670-6545BK): Automotive Tire size is...

    anyone ever have this situation?

    My car has been vibrating lately. Anything over 35 mph and I hear vibrating sounds from my dash and I can see the rearview mirror vibrating to the point that cars behind me look blurry. The road noise is also considerably louder then it used to be. Here is where is gets weird. If I'm turning...

    S-197 Retro question/opinions

    I never asked you to defend anything. I have been very fair and very polite with you throughout this entire dialog. You are entitled to all your opinions on which cars you think the s197 looks like just as I am entitled to my opinions on which cars I think the s197 looks like. I'm still...

    S-197 Retro question/opinions

    I'm happy to clarify the unclarified things. I didn't have any questions for you to answer. I gave my opinion as statements not as questions. There was nothing to think about. I gave an opinion, you quoted my opinion in a derogatory manner and I have been defending my opinion ever since...

    S-197 Retro question/opinions

    So I'm only allowed to reply to threads that I started? That would be rather pointless I would think. Usually people start threads like this to get other peoples opinions since they already know their own opinion. I didn't dictate the topic of this thread. I just replied in it with my...

    S-197 Retro question/opinions

    Really? let me remind you of exactly how this started: So apparently my opinion is "crazy" because it doesn't exactly match your opinion. If we were debating how many spark plugs are in a 4.6 3V motor then there would clearly be a right and wrong answer (8). But when it comes to looks and...

    S-197 Retro question/opinions

    You can't remove the spoiler from the S197 because that would negate the whole debate IMO. This is about how the cars look from the factory. So once again, in my opinion, the 69 Mach one looks similar to me to the S197. The front ends...
