I'm thankful that we have a handful of people to help us out with our questions and headaches. But yeah well, like always a new question always pops up. So...
On the issue of tires, I have tires that came with the car that are intolerably LOUD! They inspired me to change both wheel bearings -- about $200 worth of...
... I personally would prefer to swap an entire differential than take one apart. That said, I believe that the difference between the two (LSD and non-LSD),...
... Unless you're driving studded snow tires, they should be reasonably quiet. They get noisy when they have problems like cupping, which is typically caused...
Hi Harold, I have Dunlop SP8000s on my TII and like them a lot. They are pretty sticky, so the mileage isn't great, but it makes it fun to drive :-). I think...
... Wow, I get the digest and I _just_ got this message! I still like them; I haven't been able to brake them loose on the street yet. I have certain favorite...
You have to gain access to the top of the bolts, cut notches into them with a cutoff tool of your choosing, and use a large screwdriver to remove them. Or...
don't bother removeing the metal part. Just change out the plastic at the back of the ignition lock cylinder, it's held in place by 1 phillips head screw. The...
Hi, I know this is a tired thread, but I just want to check a few things before putting this thing in my car. I'm bolting together an '85 12a to my '79 ...
George, the only problem I see is that the couterweight on the RB flywheel is for the 85, and it will unbalance the motor. You need the appropriate ...
Ditto: Unless the counterweight is matched to the flywheel, you will have a bunch of pieces parts in a short while. If you have to replace the counterweight,...
Clarification, The transmission is not longer, but the position of the shifter on the transmission housing is further back than on the '79. Tom Woolford ...
Tom, he's putting the 79 tranny back in the 79 chassis, so he should be good there. On further reading, and a double look at George's statement, I think he ...
... Are you sure you want to do that? I did the same conversion in my 'vert, and it's not as great as it probably sounds to you. You'll also need at least the...
... I did this to my T2 way back when, and wasn't terribly happy with it overall. ... To the point that you need to hand-over-hand a few times to make a turn....
Thanks Tom and Mike for your input. I'd read so much about how I couldn't mix and match different year parts that I was worried I had overlooked something. For...
... Given that I shall soon have a single source of engine speed sensitive pressure, and given two opinions that the manual steering is a pita, what is the...
... Yeah, I could use a good place to post the pictures online. I've got a bunch of pics on my hard-drive. How do I go about posting them? The car's about 80%...
Hi, I'm bolting together my Racing Beat steel flywheel and rear counterweight. The instructions from Racing Beat say 28 ft.lbs. for the 6 flywheel bolts. This...
... IMO, no RX-7 needs power steering. I got a power rack out of a junked car and put it in my manual car blank. I can't think of any reason the booster part...
