    Motion Control Suspension (MCS) Install and other items

    You can also do that, but crankcase vapors are better evacuated using vacuum , not just fresh air. Even the old vehicles with tubes under the car was designed to pull vacuum. The reason for the pcv(postivie crankcase ventilation) is to remove combustion gases from the crankcase, otherwise your...

    Motion Control Suspension (MCS) Install and other items

    Thanks KNG. And as steve says, its a sealed system, works as a vacuum from the intake, to pull gases from the crank via valve covers, the problem is every time i checked the factory hose is had oil residue and oil in the hose, so it had to be going into the intake. The pcv is valved to close...

    Track rats chime in. Corner balance car today. See if this looks good.

    I understand, but the car was on the lift when we put a level on it. It was a 12 ft aluminum concrete screed, with a level slide it under the car, anyhow. The lift when you lock it in sets on brackets that are also level. Short of taking a lazer and leveling it im pretty sure its ok.

    Thanks bob. Yeah the 200 pounds is with me in the car. Next time i weight it ill unhook they sways. Wouldnt i have to get adjustable all the way around though so there is no preload on any corner? I cross weighted the car with the sway bars on because i read if they arent adjustable it dont...

    Fuel is full short of driving about 2 miles. I bounced and rolled the car. I think its fine. Weight savings on the suspension from factory was 9 lbs, MCS, Springs & components about 38 lbs, stock was 47. Sidewinder wheels about 39-40 lbs, aero rotors about 36 saved. 12 lbs from ps2 to pilot...

    No adjustable sway links, I was wrong on the height it is within within 1/16 of the original measurements, i measured the fronts before we adjusted the rear. The rear adjustment must have leveled the car back out. Ride Height. FL 4 2/16 FR 4 3/16 RL 5 12/16 RR 5 10/16
