"FAST".... You've not driven anything other than a K-car if You think Merkurs are "Fast" stock.... lol

Thats Your problem.... lights won't work with out the dimmer plugged in....... D'oh

Well I have checked it.. with a cover and a timing light.... and it was spot on and been running perfectly fine for 4 yrs like that. So all the nay saying doom speakers can pucker up and kiss the chocolate starfish.

I did Mine with no marks at all... PO removed or broke em all off.... Used the string method and My "ear/ass runs strong.

I'm getting -18 on My Boost/vaccuum gauge at idle.... seems like You have a leak somewhere

Welcome....

It connects to the back of the cluster..... through the firewall/bulkhead.... through the false firewall/bulkhead and connects to the vaccuum tree/main vaccuum line.

Knock on wood.... My T9 is still going strong and I'm fairly "ham-fisted" with it... I only use the clutch from a stop... and have the boost cranked up to 18lbs... as long as it's got fluid and Your not doing "clutch dump" burn outs, they are pretty good transmissions

No need to press bearings.... they just slip over the axle and sit in the races.... need to have the old races removed and the new ones installed.... *Eats foot...* Haven't had the rear of mine apart yet. Thought it was a sealed bearing. If the issue is getting the races out, a hammer and brass pun...

.. Yup, did mine in the driveway... took about an hr a side to swap them out, from wheel off to wheel on

I got My PBR's on Ebay for $30 shipped... and got My Focus SVT(aftermarket drilled) for $90 from a guy on a local Focus site... so You can do the swap cheap if You search.....

I can't recommend Mike's 300mm kit enough.... I have em and it pretty much "falls" on the car... The braided lines He sells are a "NO Brainer" as well. Quality Kit

+1 for either, and since your local to them both thats a huge bonus

Glad to see Your ok... You are ok right??

Yup... 87 all the time... only put in the "good stuff" when it's emission time...
