    "cheap" manual conversion, possible?

    When I did my auto to manual conversion I bought almost everything I needed from a Corvette junkyard in Waco, Texas for $600. It included a pedal assembly, flywheel, clutch, shifter, Z-bar/linkage, and a BW Super T10. I ended up replacing the shifter with a Hurst and bought a new clutch and...

    Corbeau FX1 Pro seat mounted

    I thought I would post some pictures of my new Corbeau FX1 Pro seat mounted in my '77. I was initially looking at the Forza seat but decided on the FX1 Pro because of the side mount setup. Being 6'4" it was important to me to have the seat as low as possible. I feel like I only lost 1/2" of...

    1981 Honda Express II "The Mobber"

    While making a run to the city dump a couple weekends ago I came across this gem. Motor was stuck but I got it running in two days. I rode it to class for a while having to choke the carb off with my hand to get it to run. I got tired of the stock look and decided to change it up a bit...

    A-Arm Cross Shaft Dimensions - Suspension Gurus

    I have a favor to ask. If anyone has their front suspension apart, can you take measurements of the upper a-arm cross shaft. I have access to a lathe and mill so I want to make some aluminum shafts. Also if there are different dimensions or offsets that would aid in a better camber curve...

    Changing front caliper mounting position

    Thank you for the info. My thoughts were confirmed that the stock brackets will work although modifying of the steering arm will be needed. I will add this to the list of things to do when I get back.

    Changing front caliper mounting position

    I saw in another thread about C3's moving the front caliper to the rear of the rotor instead of the front. I was wondering how this was accomplished. Was a completely new bracket fabricated or can you just swap the brackets from side to side and to the rear. Then all you have to do is modify...
