Alignment woes
2ndtimearound88 replied to 2ndtimearound88's topic in Rims, Suspension and Brake Mods
The sprigns seem to be the same outside diameter so they will fit their respective "perches" on each of the two strut housings, the only difference being the free legnth and the size of the wire used to make the coil itself. These were good shops where I was there everystep of the way watching them as to insure to f##k ups. -
Just replaced all front end parts and bushings. Had a small pull to the right, didn't much worry about it until I bought new tires and had it aligned. Pulled even harder to the right after the alignment. This is my question---camber is a little out on both sides-- after 3 alignemnts --the consensus seems to be a radial pull (bad tire) or a problem with the camber making it pull. I am wondering if the gear box could be part of the problem since I have switched tires swith no real difference. The strange thing is sometimes it will do it real bad- Let go of the wheel and weeee were going right, and sometimes it wants to steer almost perfectly straight. Any help would be appreciated. One more question-- Are the SHP springs interchangeable with the non SHP springs?

I had the same thing done to my 8's and 9's, though I had then professionally straghtened, the lips pollished, the grey part powdered coated Fiji blue (code T87), the face machined, and the whole thing clear coated. I would have gone your way but they all needed to be staightened and trued. I will try to get you a pic. If you come to the gathering down here in Houston, you can check them out.

Which One
2ndtimearound88 replied to 2ndtimearound88's topic in MPI/Standalone Trials and Tribulations
Come on guys, nobody can give me an honest answer or opinion to this question? -
Can some of you guys currently running the magna please give me and some others with this question some help? Which fuel pump is the one to run with the multi port set up. Myself and some others have been throwing this question around for a couple of days now. We all will probably go with the mpi, I know I will, but want to upgrade to the most viable fuel pump in the interum. Kinda the "do it once and do it right" way of thinking. Any help and/or opinions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Wayne 2ndtimearound88

I did this mod, and prior to doing so I checked out the way mine would work. The flash to pass feature used the fogs as well as the hight beams. Did the mod and lost the flash to pass feature but the fogs would stay on with the high beams. Kinda want to have the best of both worlds, fogs on with parks and the flash to pass.

Magna Manifolds, $110 US
2ndtimearound88 replied to b00st3d's topic in MPI/Standalone Trials and Tribulations
Hey there b00st3d, how ya doin? I have a good friend going to your neck of the woods for 3 months on business. Maybe hoping you guys can possibly hook up and he could bring me one of these things back to the states for me. I think he said he is going to Melbourne, don't know if that is close to you or not. If it isn't maybe he could send you the cash from there and you could send it to me, or something, should be able to work it out. Thanks Wayne 2ndtimearound88 -

I have tried two different radios and I still only get a few stations with the atenna up. Is this common. Any thoughts?
