    Intermittent trans leak

    I get a bunch of tans fluid blowing out from somewhere when running the car at the track. It's very intermittent and happens once out of 4-5 passes. Maybe more. I'm suspicious of the fluid being pushed out the vent tube as the leak is difficult to see exactly where its coming from. This ONLY...

    SM charging numbers?

    Guys, what do you see for volts on the SM when cruising and hot? I'm seeing 12.9-13.4 range. SM is 2.2 so quik update. Just a little concerned when taxing the system at WOT and the FP demands increase. FP is hotwired. Is this acceptable or should I be seeing closer to 14 volts? Its just the...

    Boost controller

    Anyone know who makes this boost controller and if it's a decent piece? Had it for years but never used it as I always seemed to have good luck just using the adjustable actuator for boost control.

    Turbo exhaust flow

    Ok I have a question regarding exhaust flow and boost. I run a TE 60 on a stock motor with just bolt on's. Last year at the track I ran approx 23-24 psi with the dump closed through Hooker CB 2.5" exhaust. The car was running low 12's high 11's. Then, I decided to open the dump and make a pass...

    Light weight front brake upgrade

    Is there a kit or caliper/pad combo available for our cars that won't break the bank. Looking for a lightweight front caliper/pad combo and possible rotors. I see the SSBC, but then read that the bloody things need to be modded to fit on Summit's site. I'm looking for plug n play LIGHTWEIGHT...

    15 X 8" rims with 3.5" BS

    Does anyone know if a MT 10" x 28" tall slick mounted on a 15 x 8" rim with a 3.5" BS will fit on a stock '87 TR?? These are Billet Specialties and I'm worried they will rub on the outer lip. I don't want to mod the lip for them to fit. Thanks for any info

    '87 Limited outer dew sweeps

    I'll assume these are next to impossible to find, but if anyone knows if they are still available and where, please let me know. Really just after the rubber as the wide stainless moulding is still decent. Thx Jim

    Guys, check your shocks

    I've battling a horrid 60' issues for awhile now. So, I've just began to address the rear suspension components. One of the first things my 'gut' told me and others as well is to install a good set of quality shocks. My '87 T has bone stock rear suspension except for a set of UMI lowers and a PS...

    How does the white NSS/backup switch mount on the column?

    Hi all, I was hoping someone could enlighten on how exactly the NSS mounts on top of the column. I noticed I had no back up lights after doing my trans swap, and began searching. I found a few threads on this but nothing describing how the white switch actually mounts to the column. I was under...

    Thank you Dave Husek

    Just wanted to say what a pleasure it's been working with Dave. I ordered a rebuild kit for a trans I'm doing and his communication and help has been second to none so far. Parts were packaged very well, along with a detailed check list. Quick shipping and everything was exactly as...

    BRF trans question

    Just curious, did the '87 BRF Trans get any "better" hard parts than the others from the factory? ie: drum, sun shell ect.... I know the converter is different, the servo, VB and governor but any thing else?

    Pan trash

    Hey all, just looking for some opinions from some of the trans builders. These pics are approx 4-6 thousand miles after a fresh fluid change and filter. I run the car fairly hard on the street but don't pound it all the time. I'm concerned that this is a little too much debris in the pan for...
