Looking for rim& tire information? Look no further!
Yes, turn radius would increase as well but scrub radius is something different. Let me know if this link works: https://www.physicsforums.com/attachments/scrub-radius-jpg.19864/ So increasing this with spacers, wider rim or lower tire height would hurt handling.- shomethe$$$

Looking for rim& tire information? Look no further!
Just remember more spacers and offset will increase your scrub radius which ruins handling. Same with lower profile tires or less overall tire height.- shomethe$$$

Bolt Sizing System
I just threw a bunch of nuts and bolts away recently, far as I know none are imperial, starting with the intake M8x1.25, same for oil pan, cooling parts. Engine brackets,starter, exhaust M10x1.5. Valve covers, cams, M6x1.0. Exhaust to head M10x1.25, flywheel M10x1.0, connecting rods are weird...- shomethe$$$

Is it possible to remove the oil cooler without draining coolant?
An o-ring will never work for long, been through this before, you need to use the oil filter seal like in the write up. The oil cooler which is actually an oil heater, doesn't have enough ribbing to keep the o ring in place for long, it will curl up in the none ribbed areas. The square ring...- shomethe$$$

Custom connecting rods: Where to get and how much?
Pretty sure stock rods are forged, maybe just put some ARP bolts in them? Can someone confirm it.- shomethe$$$

R12 System capacity
I gotta ask, why in the world is someone still using R12? Change the drier, conversion kit, vacuum and recharge with 134a.- shomethe$$$

Crank shaft main bearing problem resolved
Dirk had an update on this using the Acura, http://www.shoforum.com/index.php?threads/found-alternative-main-and-rod-bearings.134596/ I can't figure out which side the tangs are on the Acura, but it appears that they could be on the the left side, someone will have to buy them. But they are a...- shomethe$$$

Rebuilding my Alternator Myself
Just a thought. I don't know who makes a kit, my brand new alternator started overcharging because I didn't have the charge light hooked up or even a dash when I did a swap, first alternator was an original, overcharged, second was a Carquest brand, same problem. Once I wired up the bulb...- shomethe$$$

Hydraulic Clutch and Mitsubishi F5M51 Transmission swap
That works too probably better because even if you knick that part of the ball retainer with a perfect sized pipe it will still be usable.- shomethe$$$

Hydraulic Clutch and Mitsubishi F5M51 Transmission swap
If I remember correctly the outer does have a c-clip, once that is off you can pull the retainer up and hammer it down which compresses the inner c-clip which knocks it out, you have to use a piece of wood or something otherwise it will damage the ball retainer. I've damaged plenty, usually...- shomethe$$$

Flywheel Redrilling
Hello, not sure I'm getting which flywheel you want to use? The Mitsubishi will not fit easily, the bore is different and so is bolt pattern and possibly the offset. The starter will have to be changed. It's also a pull clutch vs. the Sho's push clutch. Stick with the sho flywheel, it's not...- shomethe$$$
