    You might have some built up dust in the window runners. The best solution is to take the door apart and add some Vaseline to the runners. Paul

    The spare does fit in the front trunk. It may not fit in an all wheel drive car. Paul

    Part 1 is the filter and it looks from this picture that you can get to it. Paul

    It fits but looks funny. Paul

    Give bumper plugs a call. Here is their link. www.bumperplugs.com Paul

    Shifting is all about speed. At the race track you change to the next gear as close as you can get to the red-line. How far away is "Watkin Glens" Race tack from you? Paul

    High speed driving above 150 mph is dangerous. I have been up to 155 mph and the front end was light and there were small gusts of wind. I think a 50 lb bag of concrete in the front trunk would help alot. Paul

    The S is a not expensive part. It just glues to the trunk. It is esay to pry off with a hand. Paul

    That is pretty interesting that the diodes wear out. Ever try changing the diodes with a soldering iron. I still for the time saving buy a new re-built alternator. Paul

    No problem. Happy to help. I tried playing with the dog bones at the track. This track had more left turns then right so I made the inside (driver's side) dog bone length, 1/2 inch less in length. This made no difference in track time or road turning over a short time. Information I learned while driving the track. Paul

    I have a friend who blew out his PASM by lowering it only and adding a LSD.. Good luck to you. It is an easy check to see if one is blown. You just walk around the car and push down on it. You will notice how spring-ie it is, even with the car turned off. Paul

    The yellows make noise like a school buss. They brake great but wear out fast. The blues work great and work for a couple DE's. Paul

    Spend one hour applying the dry ice off and on. Paul

    Your volts look good so I would try looking at other areas then the alternator. Maybe new alternator cables? Paul

    Looks like everything is going out over time. Paul

    The dog bone components looks like well built drop down links. For track I would add a rear sway bar. Good for 5 seconds. Paul

    This is the same problem I had. I replaced the micro switch but it did not fix the window problem. It is a little more work but I would replace the door handle part. I have a DIY on this part. It is a part that does wear out with use. Paul

    Here is my car on Infineon (Sears Point) raceway going thru turn 7. You enter at high speed, brake hard, make a hard right hand 180 degree turn, and accelerate hard leaving the turn. Note in the picture that you can see light under the right front tire. This tire was higher in the air before I installed a bigger rear stabilizer bar. The bigger bar made the car act more like a slot car. Paul

    The goal on the track is to have the same temperature across the entire tire. You will let out 2 psi air at the track to get this right. After one lap the tires are up to temperature and then you verify the tempertures the minute you come off the track. I never put nitrogen in the tires but I heared that you want to purge the tire first before you add the nitrogen. Paul

    Here is the number. 1-800-346-0182 Paul

    I had my car aligned for track use. They put very small shims in the bottom rear a-arms. This stopped the car pushing when entering a high speed turn. The point is the rear insides still wear out even if I did not do anything with the alignment. I guess you could call it weight shift engineering. The only solution would be a straight axle, but then the car would drive like a truck. Paul

    Looks good!!! Paul

    It's nice to find a repair shop that knows what there doing. Paul
  24. PAULSPEED
    It takes a little bit of time to get the alternator off but, it takes a lot of time to put it back on the motor. It is in a real tight area. Paul

    I ordered a new one yesterday. Cost over $141.00 dollars. Lets hope that is all I need. Retails for $209. Paul
