    RPF1s!!!!!!!

    Either 10mm or 5mm. But if doing 10mm or more you WILL need extended wheel studs. I've got 5mm spacers and extended studs, but I am a gen2. Frankly I don't think gen's matter since the concern is clearing the strut body.

    Loose steering rack?

    Check your swaybar endlinks, and sway bay bushings.

    RPF1s!!!!!!!

    255 ends up being right on the edge of thr rim. Regarding wide tires making your turning sloppy, you have to get like a 275 tire which pokes out way passed the lip of the rim. If that was the case, it makes all your handling sloppy, not just your steering. One thing to note, whether 245 or...

    RPF1s!!!!!!!

    255 will give you 10mm more tread, over the 245. Might as well get as much as you can. 40 vs 45, the 45 will give you just a couple of mm's of height, vs the 40. Honestly kind of a minimal difference between the 2. I run 255/40r17 on my rpf1's. Last 2 sets of tires were the same size too...

    Aux fan controller

    Old notes are old... It took me forever to get the temp right, turns out the enclosed instructions for tuning the pots were wrong for off temp. Made my notes, adjusted accordingly, and it worked great for like 3 years before I removed it. Gotta throw it back on...

    Aux fan controller

    My 2nd hand unit worked fine. Tuning it was tricky as the SP63 instructions were backwards. I took mine off though for reasons, desperately need to put it back on.

    Penguin Mobile: "Jesus Built my Hotrod"

    I already have a check valve in line with the OEM PCV valve. Do you have a part number for this pump? I'll look into it. I'd be interested if it saves me snaking OCC lines everywhere.

    Penguin Mobile: "Jesus Built my Hotrod"

    Had a chance to work on the speed yesterday. Got the oil changed, slapped my ETS TMIC back on (I had been rolling with the OEM since the accident), threw on my heavy knob and corksport steering wheel again. The little things make it feel like a real car again. One thing I did, was add extra...

    Penguin Mobile: "Jesus Built my Hotrod"

    Today I was going through my mess of a garage. I have been trying to reorganize it to make it easier to work in. I found so much stuff!!!! Aquamist kit, poly bushings, gauges, so much excite! I threw out a bunch of trash I had been holding on to. Including my old clutch and flywheel. Fun...

    Penguin Mobile: "Jesus Built my Hotrod"

    That's how it was for me. I called for months to no avail. No Dr's were taking new patients, or they wouldn't get back to me. It wasn't until I called a suicide hotline that I got anywhere and sent to a county funded clinic. I feel for you, it sucks bro, but there is a better tomorrow. I...

    Penguin Mobile: "Jesus Built my Hotrod"

    Shit..... I miss this place. Been out of sorts for a while. The Pu needs restoration work. Having a mental health breakdown and then trying to get help for it over the last year and a half has left me rather lethargic for a while. Looking to get back into it. One thing I realized after the...

    Brass shift pads

    IIRC someone tried an epoxy to install them and had success. I just can't remember who it was. Maybe @JohnnyTightlips ?

    100% e85 black death

    IIRC, 50% or less is the most you can go, and you needed to dump sl1 fuel system cleaner in the tank and HPFP every once in a while.

    my 96 ford bronco

    How are the dual shocks up front? Recently got hold of a 1993 f250 with TTB in the front. Was reading up and considering dual front shocks, since front sway bar options are limited for TTB.

    What to expect from aftermarket TMIC to Tr8 FMIC

    I was born in Rio Piedras, but it's been 20 years since I last visited the island. Here is one of the gaskets, link , it's a softer material that seals tighter than the hard PTFE material JBR uses. They make gaskets for the BPV and Intake manifold too. As for sealing the front end, I talk a...
