    Installed painted air intake box on 84 crossfire!!!

    Looks good,now the whole engine compartment needs to match the theme. I had a cross-fire trans-am,i took the stock box off,and got 2 small 6" diameter,round chrome air cleaners on. Looked pretty sweet.

    ok maybe im retarded.......

    My car sits out in the weather 24/7. I race it and daily drive it. I've had 2 different c4.s Neither leaked a drop anywere. The only one i hear complaining about leaks,are the ones who drill a hole and install the tubes. I would never do that,you're giving the body a place to have possible...

    Hood cable/latch is broken - Dealer is no help

    Can you elaborate a little more? I've modded a few c4s,deep into motor,paint and detail all my engine parts etc,and never once "really" looked at the cable latch. How far from the edge of the hood did you have to go over before sliding in the tool,did you have to tilt the tool forward or...

    LT1 spec VS time slips... ?

    Well,the performance axle,is a 3:07 dana 33 for autos,the stock is 2:59 or 2:73. Yor car should be quiker with the 3:45's,in the much stronger dana 44.. all the stock 6 speed cars at our track,were always quiker than the autos just because they have the better ratio.. Of coarse this is assuming...

    Question: I have a Question or 4 about Lowering the front End

    ha ha ...sounds like you want it real low.. I trim off the rubber from the bottom side of the ends. I leave just a "coating" so when it sits in the lower a amm,theres a little barrier between the spring and arm. Also,back to the stock wedges/pads.. The 2 brackets that hold the srping to the...

    Question: I have a Question or 4 about Lowering the front End

    If you want the front low,you cut off the stock rubber pads/wedges,and you don't put anything there,just reinstall the spring. If you use the lowering wedges,the front will only drop 3/4",you will barely notice.Will look funky with the front lowered 3/4" and the back lowered 2 inches... see pic...

    Question: I have a Question or 4 about Lowering the front End

    This is true to a point,the whole car will come down switching from 45's to 40's,however,the tire gap to fender lip will actually be more,because the top of the tire is shorter,hence increasing tire gap. This happend to me when i went from 35 series to 30 series,way more tire gap,had to lower...

Maybe check the exhaust right were it bends down toward the bottom of the fire wall and metal heat shield. Post up when you find what it is,always like...
