Re: Locking lug nuts

My Advice, get a 20mm (I think) 12 point socket or lug removal socket, take them off, put regular nuts on. You are going to have to hammer the socket on to make it tight enough, so use an old one or a cheap one you don't mind if it gets ruined. They are so ridiculously easy to defeat they are genera...

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

Well the drama continues. Ordered up the 12 bolt and it came and for some reason they didn't put the powdercoating on. I'm a teeny bit pissed about it because my choices now are to refuse it (which I don't have the time to send it back and get another), Paint it, or disassemble the entire thing, sen...

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

Apologies for being MIA on this build, ran into a major snag. Theres been a persistent noise in the top end of the car ever since I bought it, so I got into it and rebuilt the rockers and changed the pushrods. The noise not only persisted after that but got significantly worse so I decided to pull t...

Re: Breakdown production number for 54U Sunfire Yellow.

I don't know if you'll be able to figure that out, but there were only 16 so there won't be many of any combination

Re: WTB 1993-94 Firehawk Wheels

They are getting harder and harder to come by. 2 here and 2 there might be your only option. On the plus side they have the center caps, which are also getting harder to find. Brian I agree, get 2 while you can and keep looking for 2 more, they don't pop up very often. even if 4 show up you can alw...

Re: Headliner replacement.

Several companies sell them. I'd recommend going with an ABS headliner so it won't sag in the future, but any place that sells F-Body parts like hawks, Classic industries, etc etc should have them readily available

Re: Header Gasket at Y Pipe.

Aren't they slip fit? There may not be a gasket. They may just need to be tightened. Or are you talking for an LT1? If it's for an LT1 I think they are factory manifold gaskets

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

Just a random update on the headlamps. The low beams are great, but my high beam housings keep getting water in them and i am honestly not impressed with their functionality. Without a front reflector the light scatters a lot more than I would like. Considering an LED high beam upgrade in the near f...

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

If all goes well this will be the last post for awhile. I may do some work on the rear axle later in the summer, but hoping that this is it for the season. So last up (hopefully) is a new water pump since the old one was noisy, thermostat, upper and lower radiator hoses, and I decided to delete the ...
