Hey WideBody - don't sweat it man. Were only human & comments on forums are tougher to interpret than face to face communication (I know 'cos I've got in a lot of trouble here from time to time). We and all of our cars are a constant work in progress. Show me anyone who says they or their car is...

I kinda doubt we can help with the headlight protectors here 'cos our lights are different - I converted my XR to Sierra lights and got my headlight protectors on Ebay in the UK. I think we can find a source for the bra's though - I'll do a bit of hunting. Wilky PS: What kind of car do you have anyw...

Well... :lol: ..you're right, except that there are a bunch of other things that need her attention before I even think of re-upping the power, which BTW, as I've said before, is really not too shabby with just the big exhaust and the Gillis. I promised myself that I would devote resources to found...

IMHO the T-9 is a POC and not worth the effort - FastFord87 broke mine with 175HP and 15 sec 1/4.

What exacly does it do? (the link was partially down) I know it reads the air to fuel mixture. What do you do if is reading a bad mix?

If it's too lean you buy a new head!!

How long have you guys been running with yours this way?

The quadrant is equally weak no matter where the paw is! I've been running mine for over a year.

Wilky

Let your clutch self adjuster right off and I think the T9 cable will be long enough. I had the same problem (and made the same long adapter that you have) but found that after letting off the clutch quadrant the short adaptor would fit OK with the T9 cable (with some careful grinding of the blob on...

... can anyone tell me if an aluniminium, darn can't spell it either, Nothing spelt wrong from what I can see :wink: Wilky Oh wait a minute - I know what aluminium is but what the heck is aluniminium??
