Re: Rear Differential Bearing Failures

Im sure you have been over it hundreds, and are scratching your head. I had to replace 1 6 month ago...b...

tires not in circulation

Hey guys! Here is a kick in the ass if I have ever seen before. Like some of you had said, go for the firehawk wideovals.

interior lights

The strangest thing is when the car is not run and you are either just sitting there or have gotten out of the car, the interior lights will dim away and then come back on t full brightness, and carry out this ordeal maybe 3 times and then finally stop. Did James Dean own a hawk!!!! LOL Brent Canada...

Re: WTB: 2002 Firehawk Formula Hood

I dont have a hood to sell but I am going to ask the question if you had checked out on the net. I switched to searching for pictures one day and found some interesting stuff. I like the WS6 hood but also like the hawk hood with the heat extractors. The hood I found that I thought fit both worlds wa...

replacement tires for 2002 firehawk

I am sending out this message in hopes that some one can help. When I purchased my 2002 it had 8000 miles and the tires looked like someone really like to corner hard. The tires had been rotated when I just got it and so the rounded sides were now on the back and it looks like hell. These are awsome...

Re: grinds going into second

Hey there Let me know how you make out with the other tranny when you get one. I have used other trannys in the past but they are not meant for this car. I had a 2 speed power glide and a linko 5 speed both in my camaro. It would make it scream!!!! The horse power was different too. I have just star...

Re: sub frame connectors

Thanks to everybody for replying. The only reason for possible sub frame removal could be an accident? Other than that I cant see why or you were to sell the car. As far as the subframe alotment for drive shaft loops I dont know yet. I am not going to worry about it until the time comes. If need to ...

Re: Firehawk fest 2009 !!

thanks! Did you build the motor on intentions of making more HP or did untimely circumstances rear thier ugly heads and you took advantage of it? What about your rear end and drive train it needed to be beefed up? I put a ford narrowed 9" in my 95 camero with 33 strange axles splines. It ran in the ...
