Re: OST-024: It's been way too long

have you experimented with more angles and different angles? No... If I had my own valve/seat grinding equipment I'd consider different angles, but for now I trust Loynings.... i changed my valve grind angles and added a dual backcut, I gained an average of 16.8 cfm from .200" thru .600" ...

Re: Extending Stock Control Arms Discussion

I needed them to correct for swapping AE86 parts into my AE71.... I didn't need 25 to 30 mm, I needed 6 to 10mm With so minimal an amount change, I gambled (successfully) that I didn't have to extend them from between the balljoint, and the track rod... but I could just extend them from their overal...

Re: 4age FWD-->RWD Questions

So I recently pulled a motor from a AE92 GTS and I'm wanting to convert it to a RWD motor. But I had a few questions on this. 1) would I be able to use a T-50 tranny from a 3-TC motor? Or would I need a bell housing off a 4-AC/4-AG? 2) would motor mounts from a 3-TC block work on the 4-AG? Or could...

Re: LEEN J160 6 speed for rwd "A" powered cars.

Are there any plans to build a shifter setup for the RX8 transmission for those of us that wouldn't want to cut our tunnel or console? I'd also be interested if they made the gear lever kit for the RX-8 transmission. Without it, it would probably be too close to the hand brake lever. As of now ther...
