Re: Question on drivers window

Yup, sounds like a window motor. When they get old they overheat and stall out. As soon as the motor cools you'll be able to move the window again until the motor quits entirely. It may help to push the window down a little and pull it up to take some strain off the motor, but it will need to be rep...

Re: 2001 Formula Hawk #293 Resto-mod thread.

Next up was tracking down the issue with the Drivers side headlamp. I've been having an occasional short circuit that was making both the motor and low beam intermittent. I also had the aforementioned issue of the LMC headlamp upgrade issue with their choice (or lack of) for a connector. SO while I ...

Re: 2001 Formula Hawk #293 Restoration thread.

Alright, wrapping this up finally. I got everything back together (install in reverse order). Bled the clutch using a remote bleeder, which makes it much, much easier, and put all the new suspension stuff on that was (mostly) borrowed from the GTA. Here's the highlights: Clutch bleeding: if you have...

Re: 2001 Formula Hawk #293 Restoration thread.

Next, I took the time while the exhaust was off to pull all the heat shields up front, clean them up and paint them. Only pointers here are patience and high temp paint. I took down heavy corrosion spots with 80 grit sandpaper, then sanded the entire shield with 150 grit. Primed with self etching pr...

Re: 2001 Formula Hawk #293 Restoration thread.

Next up was the clutch and flywheel. Pretty straightforward here. An important note is if you get a clutch and flywheel, the manufacturer usually balances it and then sends it to you in the correct clock position. Before you disassemble it mark the pressure plate and flywheel to ensure it goes back ...

Re: 2001 Formula Hawk #293 Restoration thread.

Ok todays progress. Got the new Oil diverter barbell. Removal of the old one is pretty easy. I used a very small flathead screw driver to carefully pry it out of the block just a little bit. Once I had an edge I just used regular pliers and pulled it out. https://i.imgur.com/E7mujdH.jpg Installation...

Re: 2001 Formula Hawk #293 Restoration thread.

Well, for now re-assembly has come to a grinding halt for a part I probably should of had the foresight to order, but it is out of sight out of mind so I wanted to cover it here for you guys. Underneath the rear main seal cover, on the back of the block is a part known as the "Barbell". What it actu...

Re: 2001 Formula Hawk #293 Restoration thread.

It's spring time, and since we are all locked down right now I decided what better time than to knock out some more stuff on the Firehawk Here is what is on the docket for this round. Since my GTA project has been stagnant I decide to "borrow" the rear suspension for and see how I like it compared t...

Re: Dual/Duals, Blackwing lid, mats, twin disc, and misc stuff

I have the mats, but a board member has asked for them and a little time to pay for them, so waiting to see what happens with that. If ti falls through I'll let you know.

Dual/Duals, Blackwing lid, mats, twin disc, and misc stuff

Doing some cleaning in storage, have some things I won't need anymore. Prices do not include shipping, some of the big stuff I won't ship but can meet up someplace reasonably close to me (zip 08060 or 12531). I'll get pics up later today, have an appt to make here shortly. A lot of this is on ebay, ...

Re: 1993 Firebird T/A-Firehawk?-Expert Opinions Needed

I agree with Mac, it looks like a garden variety TA that has had parts added to it. Having said that it is still a great looking piece and certainly not anything to look down on.

Re: New owner with a couple of questions

For the headlamp motor there are multiple white plastic adjusters that look like a small hex head screw. Adjust them out until they touch the assembly metal pieces and it should fix your shake issue, assuming it is not the gear. I covered some of it when I just changed out one of my housings and wro...
