    SVO, Roush or CDC Side Exhaust

    the only thing about side exhaust that i dont like, and is the reason i didn't do it, is the fact that if you have it you can't have subframe connectors. on a vert that is a huge disadvantage IMO. it made a night and day difference in the ride quality and handling and to not have that would...

    how to tell pi heads apart

    1996 Saleen #277

    i've seen the saleen in person and it's not as nice as it looks. the paint is fading and looks rough like it was in an accident. it may not be the same one i suppose but the one i seen had that same setup right down to the red wires. the cobra looks like maybe a good deal though. oh and i...

    I think I threw a rod..

    wow....this is sounding like a whole lot of guesses with not alot of info. the noise going away in fifth gear makes it hard to believe that it's not a trans problem. the motor would make a noise ALL the time if the plug blew out, and it would run really poorly because of the dead hole. If it...
