    TPMS sensors?

    So I have a cracked wheel on my C30, and I'm going to get a new wheel installed. Can I remove the pressure sensor from the old wheel and install it in the new wheel?

    Big calipers and small wheels

    So, I'm trying to figure out what wheels to use over some big fat calipers and discs. Word on the street is that Nova/Sirius wheels are the way to go. Right now, I'm running MSW 15x7ET12 wheels on the front. I remembered that I have a spare Nova in the shed, along with more MSWs and some MultiX...

    First RallyX!

    Cars lining up on the grid. JVL and I both drove my car. We got five runs each, and Graham got two fun runs, and said it was the best $4 he ever spent. While JVL was driving, I took pictures and movies, and of course, while I was driving JVL smoked ciggies and BS'd with the medical crew. JVL...

    fuel pump relay going intermittent

    New problem today: 86 240 NA, manual trans. My fuel pump relay is momentarily cutting off power to the pumps (i.e. clicking off/on) when the engine moves back and forth.

    BioD24TI Project (greenblock pics)

    I picked up this engine a few weeks ago, and just got it apart this weekend. There's rust in #1 and #5, and the leftover coolant in the waterjacket was all rusty, too. Plus, there's still oil in the oilpan, so I have to drain that before I tear down the shortblock. And it looks like...

    Pimpin my ride

    JVAB front struts, now available in Kawasaki green! Boxed Volvo a-arms, also available in Kawasaki green! Still working on the brake plumbing, need to reattach the sway bar and tie-rod ends. Need to reassemble the motor (waiting on that headgasket!), drop it in, and turn up the boost.

    different types of 240 front spindle nuts?

    So I'm fitting up my new front struts: It appears there there are different varieties of spindle nuts on the 240s. My car currently has the kind with the groove in the top of the spindle shaft, where the fat washer is keyed into. The spindles that are going on do not have this groove. Since I...

I was drivin around last Dismember, and my car starts makin a funny sound, kinda like a rod bearing, but it was only over 2500, so I just jept driving it, and tryin to keep it under 2500 and all. So that lasted for for about...

    MSnS-E w/ stock 60-2 and DSM coilpacks

    OK, since I was threadjacking something about a 16V distributor, I thought it'd be better to discuss this in the appropriate place. So, as an alternative to spending loot for an EDIS setup, I thought it'd be better to just use the stock LH 2.4 60-2 crank sensor and flywheel, and output the...

    Camaro T5 fits great in a 240!

    I just got the thing bolted up today. Note the super cool Volvo 2.95 Camaro T5 Ford Sierra Cosworth GpA tranny mount, and the custom quick-change bellhousing made by me. I'll get a picture of the shifter location inside the tunnel tomorrow.

    Old question rehashed: Maximum bore

    We've had this discussion many times, but now, I'm phrasing the question a little differently. If I have bore sleeves put in a redblock, what is the absolute maximum bore size that the bore spacing will accomodate? Specifically, can I go up to 102.4mm? There is a huge range of off-the-shelf...
