    Rear sits lower then front after lowering spring install eibach springs

    My 86 TT sit flat with Eibachs. I got just about an inch drop front and rear. I installed new insulators at the same time (well I replaced every busings, tie rod, etc.) Are you sure the fronts are in correctly? When I first installed my fronts, one side wasn't seated at the top (it was across...

    What size are the factory wheels?

    Other than changing the suspension enough to keep from dying, has anyone actually topped out a stock TR between 156 and 162 MPH?

    Shifter gate play

    I'm in the middle of fixing this same problem. Assuming the side-to-side play is ok, the first thing I found was the eyelet on the cable connecting to the shifter was worn. The pin was also worn. I'm replacing the cable and shifter (although the pin could be removed and replaced with...

    Those are VDO? I like the look. Do the meters still have their glass in them or were they removed?

    guage cluster

    I'd like to see it too. Too bad they won't swap a boost gauge in place of the volt meter.

    Car shutting off when put into gear

    Mine did it with both the stock mass and LS1/Translator. I threw the WB-O2 on there and noticed the big change in AFR. I searched here and found several people that commenting that it was too lean on cold start so I decided to try it. I assume GM had a good reason for doing it (I haven't...

    Car shutting off when put into gear

    I had this problem (cold stall when you put it in gear and rough idle while warming up). If I started it cold (40F coolant for example) and just sat there, it would go into high idle fine and then about 30-60 seconds later it would start sagging off dropping RPM, recover and do that 4 times...

    winaldl. anyone use this?

    I think he's using the GM conversion factors rather than some of the other accepted conversion except where there is a lookup table (like MAT). It looks like he might be inverting a CTS conversion. I'm not sure. It doesn't matter since the MAT tables aren't used anyway. I know he had the...
