Wow. That is cool.

With no wheelie bars!

seems like aerodynamics must be a big part of going that speed with a 1.6 or 1.2 liter engine. I wonder if the guy who passed us could have got an extra mile or two an hour if he taped that bumper cover down with some nascar speed tape.

So, we are on a road trip in west Texas going 85mph on I-10 in my wife's Armada. Nissan versa hatchback with a smashed front bumper passes us like we are standing still. And the wind is really whipping out here, blowing us around and we are loaded for bear, three kids and camping gear. How fast...

Big pink box has the written rule. The unwritten rule is you should respect the service you are receiving when you place a free ad. I'm just a casual observer.

Dang, that caster/camber guage looks awesome. Now I have another reason to haunt craigslist. You guys are my heroes.

Well, the sheet they gave me shows the spec for caster to be .3 to 1.3 degrees of positive, which sounds reasonable to me. they gave it back to me with 4 and 4.9 of negative caster. the little box is even red around the number. good point about the old spec, I'll give them Jim's numbers in...

Thanks Jim. After planting three bushes in solid rock. I think I will take it back to them in the morning. I'm not in the mood to suffer with it tonight. For the sake of the discussion, when you say turn the cam all the way "in" would that be with the hole in the washer closer to the...

So, I just rebuilt the front end on my Dart. First time for me. Thanks in large to FABO it went really smoothly. That is until just now. I took it to have it aligned and after the alignment it randomly tries to change lanes. Also climbs up uneven road surfaces. Drove better before I had it...
