The Elites are a good hedder, from all accounts. The only difference is that they are 1-5/8" vs 1-3/4" of the high priced hedders. Only makes a difference if you are building a very high performance engine.
Hey Andy, were did you find McJack's? I never heard of them. Do you know anyone who is running a set?

Man, I am glad my car is a six speed. It took me about half a minute to realize what he was saying. At first, I just thought that Pete looked older then I had pictured him.

I have a set of J55's on my car, w/ slotted rotors, S/S brakes lines. Hawk HPS pads, and Synthetic fluid. Believe me, the brakes are amazing; but if you are starting from scratch, as you appear to be, I would follow Jeff's advice and go w/ the C6 calipers. You can never have enough surface area.

Three or four, not banned yet. I guess I don't like drama that starts over there, I haven't been there much lately. I think I like it better here, again no drama.
Have you guys noticed that, since Frank stepped down, all of the mods over there are C5 and C6 owners? I asked a mod why that was, and got some BS answer. It kind soured me on the place. Hey Andy, how about a special avatar to denote the fact that the member has been banned from CF?

I do remember seeing that test pattern. It was for channel 6 in Philadelphia. I think the first show to come on Saturday morning was Birdie the Bunyup. It was a puppet show, staring Birdie. I have no idea what a Bunyup is/was, kind of looked like a dog. His nemesis was Sir Guy T Guy. Man, I am I old or what?

Today my Dad said that the government would raise taxes on gas, now that it has gone down. A couple of minutes later, Tom Brokal suggested the same thing to Obama.
Watch, it is going to happen.

OK John, the weather for next Saturday looks good,all we need to do is pick a place. Let Grizzy chime in, looks like he has a long drive from where he lives. I think I live just about between both of you (Rising Sun, MD) so I am up for just about anywhere.

I Agree, Bugs has always been my favorite, along w/ Rocky and Bullwinkle Do you guys remember Boris Badenoff and Natasia? Remember the way she said "moose and squirel" in her Russian accent? One night in a bar in Chiacgo, a friend an I had a Russian bartender. My buddy asked her to say "moose and squirel". It got to the point were everytime she walked by she would say it, to stop us from bugging her. She got a great tip.

Wow, those are some impressive numbers, given the size of the heads; w/ your Dart 210's and a mini ram, your engine should make 550 hp no problem.
Can't wait to see the pic's.

I had this happen to me one day while working on the stereo system of my '82 Mustang. The starter solenoid shorted out and the engine started to turn over slowly as I was sitting in the car. This is why you should always disconnect the battery before doing any electrical work. I changed out the solenoid, and the car was fine, no melted wires. Randy

You can't to that if you have an oil cooler, the union for the hose that runs down below the engine is located under the A/C compressor.
Looks good though. Love the blue hoses. Its a shame the don't make them for '90+ Corvettes. Randy

I just picked up a set of '94 sport seats for my '90 coupe, and while they are very comfortable, they are higher then my original seats. I bought a set of '84 manual seat tracks, hoping they would be lower. No luck there.
Other then cutting up the manual seat tracks, any ideas on how to lower the seats? Thanks, Randy

I have a '90 that I switched from conventional to Mobil 1, and the engine did start to leak oil, from around the distributor. Also, the '90 may have an oil cooler on it (mine does) that will make the switch unnessary. I don't drive my car enough to worry about how many miles between oil changes, I just change it twice a year.

OK, here is my idea on how to do this. I saw a post over on CF were a guy drilled holes into the metal piece that runs along the top of the rear bulkhead. I am going to remove the carpet from back there, use a piece of cardboard to make a template that fits against the bulkhead. I'm going to cut some 3/4" plywood to fit, and then decide were to mount the amp. I will then drill holes for the amp and counted sink them, so that when I attach the plywood to the bulkhead, the four screws will stick out from the bulkhead. I can the cover the plywood w/ sound deadener, and the rug, and then mount the amp, useing some stand off's, so that it is not resting against the rug.
What do you guys think?

Andy is correct, the Bose does Blow, it you care about your tunes, replace it. It is a bit of work, but not that hard. If your not sure what to do, just ask us, we have done it to our cars, we can get you thought it.
Randy BTW, in the end, the $$$ is about the same,but the result is light years ahead.

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS tires I think the Second Skin Overkill Pro will help kill the tire noise, I am also going to remove the rear wheel wells and line them w/ the RaaMmat. What I really wanted to know is if anyone has attached a piece of plywood to the rear bulk head and hung an amp off of it. If I put it on the floor, I will have to build something to protect it, so I can throw a bag or a couple of cases of beer back there. Thanks for the responce guys, three more then over on CF. Randy
