Anyone know the part # of a steering coupler to fit an 86gt? I see Sweet makes them as well as flaming river. What brake fluid seems to be the better choice...

Be careful. Are you sure the 86GT is the same Darius? I don't think it is....

it should be. most coupler's are listed for 79-93 model years. I just put a flaming river piece on my car with no issues. is there something I'm missing?...
Jeff- If the cars turns left and right, then you're probably all set. Of course, make sure that the car turns left when you turn the steering wheel left. If...

How much can you do to an 86 speed density motor before you should consider switching to mass air? I've got FRPP shorty headers, Warlock mufflers, underdrive...

George, you run fine like this? Have you done anything to the computer or whatnot? -Steve- '86 GT currently "basically" stock. doing heads/intake/TB.. and ...
Steve, Yeah, actually the car idles great and runs fine. It's only when I road race does it feel like it takes forever to windout. Sometimes it pulls great and...

Funny how those engines never get put together..... I have one in pieces, from an '88, that I want some machine work done, then assemble. As I have ported...
Hi all. In the process of turning one of my shocks rebound damping knobs the wrong way and breaking it off, squirting oil all over my car, I came to ponder ...

George, upto this year I ran a combo much like yours w/o an upgraded intake. I dyno'd the same numbers and was told that was about all I was going to get out...
Undamped rebound , all the energy that went into compressing the car, (figure 2 inches, 800 lb springs per corner-for sake of point) would mean all of a sudden...
I've had this engine for a few years now. Last year (January) I was finally ready to finish it and my wife got into a car accident (a tow truck driver dropped...

Jeff, Do you have an 86? Thanks for the offer, I would have burned a chip a long time ago (sideline job - I handle Diablosport products - mostly - as well as...

Joe, Adjusting the rebound allows you to tune for the road surface your driving on as well as fine tune the amount of oversteer you have. The bottom adjuster...

Yes I have an 86. Your right, I don't think the chip gives you much. I was used to how the car acted with the chip and it always started, idled, and ran good....
I get a wheel hop-like shaking through the steering wheel on heavy braking at LimeRock turn 1, and NHIS turns 1 & 3. Is that the wheel hop you guys are talking...
Probably similar cause (shocks?), but lots of weight on front, so not exactly. Rear hop is due to loss of weight and rebound, I think. David Grutter...
I have Bilstein HDs and Ford C springs. Do you suggest different shocks? Also, I've been told about some brackets (sold by HKS) which relocate where the rear...
One of the tricks in the stock classes in Solo II is to have a high rebound setting so that the car 'hunkers down' as you go over bumps and around turns as you...

LOL. yeah. Actually, my math is wrong. 2 inches @800/in would be 6400 lbs and that is how I was going to get all four wheels off the ground. Joseph Weinstein...
My 2 cents ... Compression damping effectively increases the spring rate ... dynamically. In other words, if you compress the suspension very slowly then you...
Wow. This reply could take pages and pages. First of all, there is high speed and low speed damping. I won't get into numbers - suffice it to say that...
