    so.. anyone use Acetone in their gas tank?

    So did i buy the right thing? I went to autozone and bought a green can of Klean-Strip Acetone. It says fiberglass resin thinner on it, on the back it says "Kean-Strip's Acetone is 100% pure" so this is good to use right? And how are you guys measure out ounces? Measuring cup? lol

    How much punishment can the stock rear-end take?

    Yeah i can see both sides of it. I think the weakest link i have right now are my u-joints though actually, need to get those replaced asap. Ok so i really need to get my torque boxes welded/reinforced. I cant weld them myself, so i'll need to take them to a shop. Now if i walk into a body...

    How much punishment can the stock rear-end take?

    Ok cool. Is there any decent way to check the current condition of the rear? Like, are there any certain signs that till tell me if mine is in pretty good shape or what? I dont know much at all about that part of the car. I'm probably going to go do a search on this but, just in case...

    How much punishment can the stock rear-end take?

    I'm interrested in getting 4.10s and running either drag radials or slicks, but I'm afraid i'm going to break my rear end. So what's the deal? On a car like mine, which doesn't have much more power than stock, will the stock rear hold up to a good deal of punishment, or should i build it up...

    sticky gas pedal

    The method i posted above is a pretty good way to start pin-pointing the problem. Just adjust the idle screw in to raise the idle, and if that fixes the problem you'll know it was a sticking butterfly. If that doesn't fix it you'll know it's something else. It'll take just a sec to do and check.

    sticky gas pedal

    Yeah i had this problem for a while and it was really annoying, i would have to jab the throttle just to unstick the pedal. What you can do if i remember correctly is adjust your idle screw to where it would be idling higher, so that the initial position of the butterfly or whatever is past the...

    will lakewood shocks and struts handle ok on a wekend driver

    I run 90/10s and 50/50s with Eibach drag launch springs w/airbag and removed front sway bar on my daily driver lol. I drive it like 150-200 miles a week i think, probably not what most people on this board would recommend. I'll say this, it is not even CLOSE to being a comfortable, but yeah...

    When deleting AC and smog...

    Well i've read through a bunch of old threads and i'm still confused on this. When i remove my AC and smog pump is it absolutely necessary to relocate the power steering pump to where the AC used to go using the Ford kit? Or can i just yank the AC and smog out and run a short belt? Would that...

    BBK CAI knocking against shock towner

    Yeah my MAC did the same thing and i noticed that it basically was just a little loose/sloppily installed. The BBK might be a bit different, but for mine i just had to shove it as close to the TB as possible and clamp it there tight. It's kindof a scary sound if you hear that thing knocking...

    Startup and dying trouble...

    Whenever i start my car for the first time in the morning or any other time it's sat for a while, whenever i start it up if i dont give it any gas it will die, and then if i start it up again it will die, and it will repeat this as many times as my battery has power to start it. However, if i...

    Relocating my overflow bottle....

    I know what the shroud does, and i also know the effects of removing it. I also know that my car is running very cool without it. Even so, though, like i said i intend this to be only temporary until i get the electric. Thanks for the tips on the overflow.

    Relocating my overflow bottle....

    I need to relocate the overflow. Long story short, i bought a new radiator and it isn't the same size of the stock one. It mounts fine etc but the size difference makes the fan showd no longer fit, so i had to ditch it. This means that right now i have my overflow bottle more or less tied...

    Thermostat: Which way does it face??

    When i install my thermostat, which way does it face? Does the side with the spring face the windshield or the radiator? Thanks.

    No Thermostat: Is it ok?

    One more question: Which way does the thermostat go in? Does the side with the spring go towards the windshield or towards the radiator? sodaking: perhaps in a colder climate a 195 helps the car warm up better or something.

    No Thermostat: Is it ok?

    Yo guys, I'm about to remove my thermostat housing to fix a leak at the gasket. My car has been overheating and I think the thermostat is broken and also i need to replace this stock 12 year old radiator. So the question is, should i even put a thermostat back in it? I dont care so much about...

    My engine sounds Horrible

    Ok guys, my engine sounds horrible. It sounds like a machine gun or something. There is a constant knocking sound that is fairly loud, and it is very fast, and varies with the rpm. Its not a slow knock, a fast one, real fast. I dont have the money to take it to a shop right now, but if...
