    Toyota recalls - People are STUPID

    Some dealer sales might very well be up due to the 0% financing; which toyota as far as I know rarely ever does. Never had to. IMO honda/toyota does have quite a major hype behind them. The unrealistic expectation that they never break is false. I'm a loyal tech and I say this. I can...

    Toyota recalls - People are STUPID

    I love america. And I love american made cars. Having said that, america has put out alot of junk in the past. It's been getting better though. Every once in a while I'll get a used car to check out of various makes; pontiac, honda, chevy, ford, you name it. The domestics have PROVEN to me...

    Toyota recalls - People are STUPID

    Thats something that I'm curious about. I saw it on the news, but you never really know with the media. If that is the case, that is complete bull****.

    wheel alignment after k member install

    Agreed factory specs are way too broad. I really hate the tech's that just adjust to "in the green". Cant say I agree -1.3* camber will murder the tires. For a DD I'd probably dial in a little less, prob -1.0* at the most.

    Toyota recalls - People are STUPID

    There are 2 recalls with the gas pedals. The 90L is for the floormat interference. The other is the AOA campaign for the pedals manufactured by CTS corp (USA assembled vehicles). Vehicles assembled in japan with pedals manufactured by Denso do not apply.

    Toyota recalls - People are STUPID

    Perhaps. It's got alot of us at work pretty wound up. No car maker can build a car that is impervious to user error. I dont wanna get crazy here. Just sharing a picture of CUSTOMER stupidity. The recall has its place, but 4 floor mats is stupid. I'll agree with you toyota's are pretty...

    First 4.6

    Congrats! How will she drive the car? Is it a DD? Auto or manual? Does she want loud or just a little rumble? There are lots of things to consider. The 4.6 does sound good. Its a very different tone than the 5.0; a bit more exotic sounding. I'm running flowmaster 40s and mac o/r h. It's...

    Toyota recalls - People are STUPID

    Thought I would share this with you guys. I'm getting awfully tired of toyota being bashed so hard. I've been a tech at toyota since june of 2007 and I love the brand. Still die hard mustang, but as far as work goes I'm pretty loyal. This picture is of the (4!!!!) floormats this customer had...

    NEWBIE with a BAD SHAKE!

    Don't you think its a little overkill to tell someone they need a rear diff rebuild over this type of concern being diagnosed over the internet? Seriously, c'mon man. Is the car stock? 5th gear is the most load inducing gear. Chances are a misfire under load will occur under heavy...

    Timing chain guides are not lining up after pi head swap please help

    I watched the video to see if I could catch anything obvious and I couldn't. Installation of the guides should be pretty straight forward. I've never heard of guides being required either so go back over everything and look for anything obvious. It's really hard to say without looking at it...

    ~Some Pics From Today~

    Super clean and nice as always. Your pics are always fantastic. I mean, the car is incredible and you take AWESOME pics to boot! :nice: Haven't quite decided yet, but it's your car that got me seriously considering changing over to torch red. Mine is performance red. It's grown on me over...

    How clean is too clean...

    I try my best to keep it clean. I really do. I found myself over the winter working 12+ hour days then pulling it around to the detail bays to wash it outside in 30* weather. My hands would be numb, but the car would be clean lol. Right now, she's dirty. It's my DD, and if it rains she gets...

    Missfire please help its been a long night..

    I'm assuming you have a programmer or scanner of some type since you got a code for the misfire. What do the fuel trims look like? You had the intake off; dont rule out a vacuum leak as well. Also try swapping coils and see if the miss moves to another cylinder.

    Is Seafoam safe for a vortech supercharger?

    The seafoam should never touch the blower. You'll want to add it after the T/B. I've never put it in my oil or my gas and I actually havent used it period in a very long time. Runs just as good as it always has.

    Best Tune

    You're fine with the exhaust and CAI. You will probably even be ok with the PI intake. But that might put it at the limit. It's not that the MAF cant compensate, it's that the ECM can only add fuel so much beyond the base tune. Its worthy to note that this amount is nowhere near the needed...

    No power after 5k?

    It would be good to know the OP's definition of "struggling". I have 147k on my 00' and bought it with 62k. It will pull to 6k, but as others have mentioned it really drops on power after 5k. It rises easy to the 6k mark, but I almost define it as kinda free spinning. Going past 5500 on a...

    Which Tires???

    BFG KD's. Under $200 a pop that size. I would have got them, but my car is a DD and rain would scare me. I have bought nothing but BFG's. I have run other tires, just didnt buy them. The KDW's have been the best so far, and the KD's would be even stickier.

    Steeda G-Trac suspension

    IMO, I'd be going straight to Maximum Motorsports. Especially with your budget. Everything they make is top notch. I hear their customer service is just as good as their products; give them a call and tell them your goals. From what I hear, they will point you in the direction of what is...

    '03 mach 1, rear brake pads too thick?

    I'm assuming the mach has the same vented disc setup as the cobra's. The calipers however are the same as the GT. IF it has the vented disc, be sure you have the correct pads. It is my understanding pads are THINNER for the vented disc than they are for standard GT set ups. Either pad will...

    How much money have you put down on your stang?

    Yea, thats when you just stop keeping track. I'd imagine money is *almost* irrelevant at that point.
