Email sent, still for sale?

Hey guys, I'm trying to make my first carlisle this year and i have a problem with my xr that I just cant get. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Car had been off the road for 5ish years, and before its transformation it was silky smooth on the highway, but now feels like Im driving over some ...

I have a boport 1.9 I was going to post 'for sale' in the next few days, no valvetrain though. Lmk if you have any interest and I wont even bother posting it.

Ill take the strut mounts, pm me your paypal

. thhanks everyone i guess ill have to hook everything back up to get it to break loose lol and has any of you guys left the carbon cannister off ? Yes, with no ill effects. Left the line in place. If an interference issue is your reason for removal (intercooler piping?), and you would feel better k...

Cool, that's what I was thinking. The car is running a little crappy and really really rich. It does OK when it's cold, but once it warms up it misses on idle, the warmer it gets the worse it is (can get pretty bad). It misses a little when you really get on it too but still pulls pretty good. Prett...

Hey all, Just ran a koeo and koer quick test on my LA2 swapped xr and have a couple questions. First, where the heck is the IRCM (integrated relay control module)? I have never even heard of this part before today and I thought I knew the car pretty well. Is this maybe a part the t-bird has that the...

Yes, input shaft is turned down. The issue is in the clutch though, throw out bearing is seizing on the front bearing retainer causing a loss of pedal action.

Meant to ask "is input shaft *retainer* the same diameter". I found that it is though.

Anyone ever have an issue where a brand new throw out bearing starts sticking as it warms up, eventually to the point it freezes? Works fine when cold though. Its a v8 t5 with a direct pull bellhousing and a new spec clutch/tob. I thought the input shaft diameter was the same between the v8 and the ...

Ok guys ill try and keep this short, and spit balling is welcome. Car no longer starts with the key, remote wire on the solonoid isn't getting power for some reason. I traced power through the ignition switch and through the neutral safety switch. It appears power is lost between the blk/red wire fr...

^^x2. That rad well outperforms the stock one, my fan almost never comes on since the swap. The bubble creates a blockage at idle that gets forced through at crusing rpm

I'm hoping that the beam was not touched too much. I know at least my driver floor is a bit rotted at the seam, but I dont think I need to worry about it right away. It seems like it can be fixed even if the car has new rockers. Its just hard to find a shop to do that kind of work properly around h...

I apologize to anyone reading this for bouncing around with multiple posts. Did this on my phone and my pics were scattered all over the place. We'll survive.. Well you're doing the right stuff it looks like. That sill is the bearing member in the car...Be a good time to stitch weld things a bit---...

Here's what the new rocker looks like. Typically sourced from europe, so there are no bump outs to attach your cladding, you have to cut the old mounts out and reuse them on the new cladding.
