Well, if you can get Koni yellows, they're still very nice all these years later. I even like the reds, but they're a vintage shock, for sure. Personally, KYM Gas-A-Justs in front, and something soft
Yeah, me too, Andysince when was a new Pathfinder a 'grassroots' tow rig? There's very little tech, and that which there is is pretty shallow. I went back to the early '90's issues to see if it was m
I had a rear main fail soon after building the motorI hadn't soaked the rope long enough, and it chewed itself to death against the crank- bits of rope everywhere, and a big gap in the 5th cap. I too
heh hehyeah, I let that one lapse 6 months ago... but that was a more amicable partingthey were just doing things that I've done, and now I've moved on. Circle Track's always got one or 2 good bits..
The first one's easyThe short end goes towards the engine, the longer gets the nut. The second one's tougher- I wouldn't, because it's easy enough to do with the motor in the car. I WOULD think about
and #10- refill immediately with coolant, or at least something with anti- corrosion additives. And then warm it up again. You don't want a pocket of water sitting in a jacket for days or months...

I use standard plumber's tape on my tapered threaded fittings. You have to be careful- it's such a good lube that you can crack fittings and housings with ease. But it does help seal and make things
There's no 'first gear' forkthe first fork actually shfits between 1 and 2. Something else is going on- it might be bent. Transmissions are easy- the factory manual does a pretty good job of explaini
I doI run a thin line of gasket cement around the inside of the paper gasket, on both sides. Enough to saturate the paper. I've found that water will creep through the paper and rust the studs, even
I hate to be a soggy blanket about this, but for that budget, you're realistically looking at doing the disassembly and reassembly yourself, and a 'sand it back to solid base'- style repaint. You won
Don't cry yetdoes the car run to 5000 rpm? When I bought mine, the head was cut so much that it only made it to 3000- the pistions were slapping it so hard it couldn't get going much faster. But it r
This is quite true for a street caron a race car, you typically enter a corner with enough speed that the weight transfer lets the inside wheel spin, and the outside becomes the 'driver.' It's a disc
Hokay- technically, if you were really dealing with 'power', 140 watts at 12 volts is something like 12 amps. Which would tax your system mightily, especially if you've added extra lights, etc. But t
