Is the D20 supposed to just drop in using the same mount as the D16? My D20 doesn't have threads where you're supposed to put the motor mount for a lanos

Headlight switch is broken again, brand new one too. So how is this possible? It has got to be the wiring before the switch right? It's weird because it gets stiff too like it's mechanical as well as electrical

Yes I do use a breaker bar, should have mentioned that.

I just checked and my impact wrench does 270ft.lbs.

I think I did use a 12pt socket when I stripped the grade 8 bolts...I wasn't even using a breaker bar though.

Going in the direction to tighten sounds like a good idea too.

stubborn bolts!

With my lanos project, stubborn bolts has been by far my biggest issue. I can’t believe how bad almost every bolt on this car is. I broke two good torque wrenches, one which was a heavy duty one on wheel studs alone. I’m stripping grade eight 14mm bolts using (the correct) good sockets, and not even...

Anyone know the leggy factory fuel injectors max whp? I found a vacuum leak so I'll see how the car runs now; but I managed to hit 124+mph finally again and held it around a decent turn none the less. Only thing is I hit that in 5th and felt like I hit some sort of rev limiter or something. I'm not ...

It turns out the shop that does all the work I go too checked the starter, iginition system, and alternator last time my car was in. The starting issue has either been really bad (takes a few mins) or not at all since the lever change. Well I guess the only thing left is either a wiring issue or mor...

Wires don't necessarily "go bad" they will continue to transfer electricity as long as there is a single strand of copper that is connected inside the jacket (providing that the amperage doesn't melt it of course). Wires only fail to do their job if that which is conducting the electricity ceases t...

I got another new problem though now...maybe related to whatevers been draining the battery. My highs won't come off and are staying on with the lows which normally isn't possible to have them on at the same time unless you're holding the level manually. Fixed this issue, just replaced the blinker/...
