Re: VG30 510
Those Weight Jacker kits are neat, Broke was telling me about them a while back.
I could definitely feel the difference when i put ( my own fabricated version ) Compression was much more linear and the back end did less weird things.

Re: James Z31 Revival
The T5 Gearbox jack cradle idea worked really well and saved me from doing it the manly way and ruining my back :badgrin: t5-2.jpg Turns out the noisy gearbox that has always been in my car was actually "grinding my gears" into a black powder that mixed with the oil and made sludge. I have...
