i just installed my fstb today and after i did i wanted to go for a drive. when i put my car on reverse its makin a funny loud sound. somewhat of a engine rattle actually alot. wuts the problem is it the fstb did i do something wrong?

 

The bar is probably hitting the manifold as the engine moves on it's mounts. You might have to grind away a bit of the bar to clear it.

Do a search, also...lots of info on this..

 

sorry didnt know that when engine is not on it looked ok to me so i guess ill take it off and start grindin now

 

What kind of FSTB do you have?

I have the groaning sound when I hit the reverse with fast acc, but no prob with slow reverse. I'm going to see if I can raise the bar a little bit w/o hitting the hood. I don't think I'm shaving down the manifold, like the other org members.
