    FYI on RPS 3200 lbs pressure plate

    The clutch pedal has a much better feel now as well compared to the dual diaphragm.

    Front Control Arm Bushing Question

    You can't beat the price. Be sure to not heat the control arm up to high while removing the old ones or just have them pressed out. I have replaced all my bushings with poly bushings.

    FYI on RPS 3200 lbs pressure plate

    RPS no longer sales the dual diaphragm rps 3200 lbs. pressure plate for the r-154. They just sale the single. It is rated at 600 ft lbs according to rps. I purchased mine from titan motorsports and was told that it was rated still at 730 ft lbs after talking directly to rps. According to titan...

    Nice. I know someone with a purple driveshaft. ---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ---------- Do you mean like grease fittings to grease the bushings. If so no, but I'm sure Wes could add them if you ask. I just greased them up real good with moly lube.

    He talked about offering them as an option for those people who wanted them but I'm sure if you were interested he would make some up for you.

    Those are the arms that Wes makes from beech performance. I to did not like the heim joint design so I asked him to make me some spherical adjustable ends for them. The worked like a charm. No side to side movement like the heim joints.

    It would depend if you plan on using a/c, stock radiator cooling fan, The two that you see are the coolant temp and coolant gauge cluster sender. The other three that you don't see is the bvsv, a/c coolant sensor switch, and radiator cooling fan sensor switch. I am not running a/c or stock...

    Inching a bit closer to firing this baby up for the first time. Here are some pics of the engine in the car as well as some of the suspension work that I completed. My engine builder Shane did a hell of a job on cleaning up the wiring harness and tucking it. You can see like 3 wires and thats...

    Hey guys I'm thinking of running a 100 shot on this baby after getting use to the car at 600 whp on e85. The concern is possibly over boosting the turbo with the qsv on it. Any opinions on this? Also I've been told a 100 shot is more like a 150 whp and close to 200 tq on a 7m.

    I may end up going with black fittings as well. This is just a mock up to get everything in order before being dropped in. I went with a journal bearing so when I rebuild it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg. Plus I think with the qsv it will make up for that 300-400 rpm.
