    Side mirror Project

    Umm, don't you need those? I guess for a trailored show/race car that would be cool, but are these for street cars?

    DIPSTICK TUBE REMOVAL

    I bent 4 valves and broke 4 rockers in the DS head when my chain jumped time. I ended up replacing the tensioner and crank sprocket as well. I am putting on a pretty nice set of ported PI heads. As an update I was able to get the required funds and a ride to pickup a head change kit from my...

    DIPSTICK TUBE REMOVAL

    Okay, I'm down to head bolts, manifold- h pipe bolts, and the dipstick tube. The first two I got covered but can anyone shed some light on how I can get this thing out without destroying it?? I have limited time, tools, and space so any help would be incredibly useful. . .I'm doing this in my...

    Just installed MAC off-road H-pipe. Think its too loud. Anyone want it???

    Try o/r H and 3" dumps! Imagine my suprise when I went from completely stock to this. I fired it up in the auto garage here on post and everyone stopped what they were doing to see what the hell was making all that noise. . .so I revved it a bit:) I too am paranoid about cops, been pulled over a...

    What the heck does VTEC mean?

    Yep, 3rd gear;) I was just getting a feel for it and wanted to try and keep it off the limiter. I did another after my friend did one in his M3. . .I revved it hard and ended up in 4th gear. . .I have the full video somewhere, I had to edit it down for server space and the 4th gear one is hard...

    What the heck does VTEC mean?

    Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control. This allows a low dur. low lift profile to be used at low speeds to help low speed torque production and at higher engine speeds a secondary set of lobes are actuated allowing more duration and lift to help top end power. Almost like swapping...

    Smoking GT, and a headswap. . .

    Thanks for the replies, like I said earlier I really hate to do this, lol, but I guess I have to do what I gotta do. I'm just going to do my best. . . I was talking to my buddy and we realized that this all may have started about the same time he went to the open PCV. . .so when he gets back in...

    Smoking GT, and a headswap. . .

    Well storage is 6 hours away. . . I already planned on pulling the motor when I get back anyways to do a complete freshing up with new rods and pistons. I'm retiring it to track only for the local bracket class. My budget will be pretty nice when I get back:D

    99 Cobra vs SRT4

    I run around with a bunch of guys driving WRX's and SRT-4's, suprisingly enough they are the only true gearheads I have found around here. Now, the SRT-4 only beat my turd by a car lenth before my PI intake/cams swap. I usually destroy him on the launch and when his boost kicks in he catches up...

    Spark plugs

    Yes, they can help resist detonation buy helping keep heat soak in the combustion chamber down. Higer compression= higer combustion chamber pressures and temps(same as in s/c and nitrous, just on a lesser scale...) One heat range cooler for say a head-swapped car would be good. Now on a typical...

    Smoking GT, and a headswap. . .

    Well first tings first. My buddies 98GT is having some issues. On the highway when he downshifts to accellerate hard his car smokes pretty good. It's obviously oil. My question is what is most likely the culprit. It has about 80K on it, he doesn't drive it real hard at all. He is running an open...

    How screwed am I?

    I use a hobby paint brush and lightly, very lightly, apply a thin coat of AS and wipe down excess, I apply a tiny bit to the shoulder and that's it, can't even tell I use it when you take them out, however I always read my plugs after a night at the strip and it just lubes it a bit to keep me...

    Happened on my F-150...even without overtightening the threads! (although I always use anit-seize)

    best and easiest way to remove rear seat ???

    The rear seat weighs 53 pounds, so it's good for about .05 in the 1/4. Make your own delete kit. I had plywood laying around and got some really nice fabric from walmart that almost identacally matched the interior (down to the pattern!) for $1 yard. It cost me less than $10, and it's just as...
