You're pressing the wrong pedal...

From the threads I read years ago on that other forum, the people that have crank walk had already done this. It's simply too much force on a bearing that isn't pressure oiled and thus isn't meant to take high loads.

Yet again, why?

I went with one that's 2800lbs, if I make this clutch slip, I'm going multiplate...

Doesn't look like it's moving enough to me, but the setup is too custom to know...

You haven't look very hard, it was extremely common with the RPS 3200lb pressure plate. Also an issue on the 7M. If you're running a motor that makes enough power to eat a somewhat beefed up single plate, go multiplate. It's cheaper than crank walk...

There is already a proportioning valve in the system... Be very careful with brake bias. It's far safer to be conservative and keep the fronts heavily biased than to lock up the backs under emergency braking.

Keep in mind a 2012 V6 mustange has front brakes 53mm larger diameter and 10mm thicker... About the same weight as us and about the same power as a BPU 7MGTE....

Remember some guy with a big single on one making 400HP+ in a first gen celica. Stock block IIRC. Not a bad engine, but underpowered for the fat MKIII and hard to find parts for.

My mityvac says the complete opposite of conventional wisdom and instead says closest to farthest... YMMV

Dust seals aren't needed (this is covered in arz's thread). No you won't have to service them more often, and your friend was probably having other issues (since wilwoods are used in a lot of racing...)

As long as you have a good temperature controlled soldering iron, it should be cake.

Ah, my bad, thought they were only low beam because of the extra high beam. Absolutely 100% wrong and dangerous. The light is too low and of the wrong pattern. Lots of foreground light gives you a false sense of security as you can't see shit at distance. It's called selective yellow...

Foglights aren't going to have near the output needed... Also, the IS250 headlight isn't bi-xenon, so you won't have a high beam...

Brakes on our cars are definately a weak link given the speeds they can attain and the weight of the car. The people on here thinking they're great are smoking crack :rofl: Modern cars of similar weight and performance have brakes far FAR larger. Good pads in a system that's not worn out is...

Simple, some petroleum based products are used as beauty products and others will downright kill you. Being petroleum based doesn't mean much. Redline may be an exeption, but from what I've seen in other places, the base stocks are usually different in the two fluids, and that's just for starters.

Dude....he's in a suburban. I would have been laughing at him.

For starters, we don't have a MAF, we have a AFM. Two completely different ways of metering air so it's important. Also, have you checked for codes?

Just because it's petroleum based doesn't make it the same...
