Hello All, Just converted rear drum to Disc (SSBC)...along with improved handling (my previous thread) Kit did not include rear parking brake cable.   Current one for drum brakes is too short. I read people had to purchase new ones (can't find real leads, part#s etc)...or modifications. Can...

Haha Stanglover, Love it totally.     My problem is L4-L5 compressed from Skydiving accident.   I manage it really good w/ targetted morning stretches. Not levelled car on a bad day makes it worst.   Thanks to stretching, I have maybe 5-10 bad days a year now.

Hi All, Coming for some sage advise again. Which one should I get 3 row or 4 row Al radiator ??? Looking at Champion cooling. I have the stock (original) 3 row Brass radiator (which was rodded recently) Yesterday was hot in the area (100+). Even on surface streets the car heat-up to 210F...

Kit, I thought it was new. Even Summit Racing has this one (they maybe selling it on amazon) http://www.summitracing.com/parts/fss-58022 It does not say re-manufactured (other compressors on Summit Racing do) But if Four Seasons is not good...then it does not matter. the other option was...

Hi All, I am looking at replacing my old stock A/C compressor w/ Four Seasons compressor w/ Clutch http://www.amazon.com/Four-Seasons-58022-Compressor/dp/B004AF76PS I could not find reviews on Four Seasons products. Has anybody used this or any other compressor from them. Any feedback...
