    Rear Brake lights stuck on !

    Tonight I noticed my rear brake lights were on. Tried every trick in the book. That switch assy on the brake pedal appears intact. (4 way emergency flashers work fine) I ended up pulling fuse #3 ( brakes) on the SJB fuse box as a temp..'fix'. Now of course I have no brake lights at...

    What size is fuel line ?

    Just out of interest, what diam ( ID / OD) is the fuel line from tank to eng bay ? What is it made from, aluminum, steel, SS ? My understanding is the 11+ cars don't have a fuel filter...(only 05-10 4.6 engs). If it's only 3/8" as I suspect (I could very well be wrong).... then...

    I shoulda listened to Gabe.

    Recently I removed my front 275-40-18 NITTO NT-555's (on 18 x 10 rims), and temp stored em away. The rears were 285-40-18's (also on 18 x 10 rims). I moved the rears to the front. Front is good. Then bought new 305-35-19 MPSS's...and mounted em to new 19 x 10 rims..... and installed...

    Cleaning barrels ?

    I swap wheels May1 and back to rain tires at end of oct. What's the trick in cleaning the barrels ? The barrels of course can't easily be gotten at, once wheels are mounted. At least with my swapping wheels every 6 months, I can access em. Is there some special goop, or technique or...

    What eng T stat F rating do you use ?

    I have noticed everything from 160 F to 190 F T-stats being used. How low is too low ? Has anybody correlated various T stat ratings with stuff like IAT's.... and /or eng oil temps, eng coolant temps, cyl head temps, etc ? On my SCT-X3, I can adjust the low speed eng fan turn on...

    305-40-18's in a 200-300 tread wear rating ?

    So far, the only thing I see in a 305-40-18 is a drag radial, in either a tread wear rating of zero, or 100. I wouldn't mind a 305-40-18 rear, but I don't want a drag radial. I checked several sites, and unless I missed something, I can't find what I want. Plan B is to go to a 305-35-19...

    Tire width vs section width, vs tire sizes.

    Just swapped my 275 fronts / 285 rears for my 235 Motivo rain tires I use in the winter. The 275's appear to have aprx a 9.75" wide tread. The 285's have aprx 10" of tread. IF I have the story correct, the tire size, like '285' on the prescribed... '10" measuring width' rim is...

    Directional means directional

    Last May, like an idiot, when removing the fall /winter nitto Motivo's I use for rain tires...... and then installing the Nitto-555's for May-Oct.... I reversed the pair of rear 285-40-18's. These are directional treads. Instead of water diverging, it instead converges towards the...

    The FRPP adjustable dampers are monotube types. They appear to be a tweaked version of a Tokico D spec, designed slightly differently, with a different adjustment tool. FRPP has simultaneous adjustment of compression + rebound. The Koni yellow's are adjustable rebound only..and twin tube. I...

    Staggered wheel diameters ?

    The latest plan was to install nitto NT-555-G2's front + rear. With a 285-40-18 on the front (10" chrome bullitt rim)..and a 305-35-19 ( also on a 10" wide chrome bullitt rim). Nitto does not make a 305-40-18 in the 555-G2 version....and I don't want to use a nitto 305-40-18 drag...
