    Changed Mind

    You're very likely to have trouble with the plugs fouling at 2 steps cooler. I too had at first considered the spary route. I even went and talked to a local installer and asked questions. I like my power when I want it and as often as I want it. To me spraying was not the answer. Yeah...

    Mid pipe sound, H vs X and SLP

    I'll see what I can do. As a buddy pointed out, lots of times these recordings still don't sound as good as hearing it in person.

    Mid pipe sound, H vs X and SLP

    Not that I know of. But like you said it's 4 or so hours and if you don't like the sound it's wasted time. Maybe I can record a wave file and send it to you instead. I'll have to see if I have something that I can take with me that records sound. That way you would hear it as I hear it.

    Mapquest says about 2 hours. How fast do you drive? :)

    Mid pipe sound, H vs X and SLP

    LOL, I didn't mean you since you said you had heard them. I meant the original poster. :) That is the problem with exhaust sound. You'll never get consensus on what sounds good or bad. Everyone likes what they like. That is why I said I'd let him hear mine if he lived closer. It's...

    What can i get with $135

    How about a new shifter? They make driving the car more fun.

    Mid pipe sound, H vs X and SLP

    I happen to like the sound of my SLP1 with the SLP catted X. It's still fairly quiet at idle, but sounds decent. But it sounds great when you stomp on it. Not everyone like the sound, but many friends agree it sounds good. And Yes, loud. I actually set off a car alarm the other week...

    New Paint *pics

    I have to say it's not my cup of tea. Beautiful paint job, but two tones have never been something I have cared for. As long as you like it that's all that counts! Enjoy it.

    Odd problem

    My 85 Capri had that exact same problem (not the burning part though). It would start to stall when I turned the steering wheel. I later noticed that as I was turning I had my hand towards the top of the wheel and was actually pulling it a bit towards myself. I discovered the switch...

    Odd problem

    How easy of a fix is it? Is the fix in the column or in the stalk itself? I hate the thought of taking the stalk apart and having more problems later. :) There are so many things controlled there.

    Superchargering a daily

    My KB can be driven the same way. It does not make boost until you're on the gas. Under load it's awesome. No load or very light load you will not see boost and it's like a normal car.

    Superchargering a daily

    I have a 2000 GT vert that I supercharged at 48,000 miles. Now I have a bit over 50,000 with no problems. It is a KB supercharger. Not cheap but for my use it was the best choice for me. I looked into all types. Unless I am really on it I can drive the car normally and you'd not know it...

    Mach 1 Chin from Home Depot?

    You drive your car in the winter up in New England? With all the salt they put down on the roads? I'd never drive mine there for the salt. Actually I don't drive it here in Pa when the salt is down until it's been washed away. Yes, I used to live in Mass so I know what it's like there in...

    Kenne Bell, FTW.. Decisive Victory

    No, not really. I originally thought that would be the case when I read it and had only had my 1.7L for a few months. But I have no plans on going to more boost so I am extermely happy with what I have. It's been working great now for just a tad over 2000 miles. Love that extra power.

    kb or allen sc

    I have had just the opposite experience with calling Kenne Bell. I have gotten thru just about every time I called, whether the tech line or when buying mine. I love it, have had no problems. And it was pretty easy to install. And like someone else mentioned it looks good replacing that...

    Which size tb??

    Not all girls/women are into jewelry and perfume. :) But you are right, in some way I'd end up losing somehow. I'll have to survive for awhile with my last mod. Won't be doing any more for awhile. Budget got busted with the SC. But it sure is fun. I'd like new wheels. Best of luck...

    Which size tb??

    I wish I had gone with a 75mm, but who knew at that time that I would go with a SC later. I think I agree if it's a choice of 70 or 75 go with the 75 so you don't have to pay more to move up later. But gears would be your best bet. I loved it when I installed mine. I wish I had a...

    00 GT What Next??

    If you really insist on sticking with regular grade fuel, then I would say the tuner won't do much as one of it's major features is to allow your car to run on premium fuel and thus being able to run with more timing. I myself would think your best bet would be the underdrive pullies. All...

    A night at the track

    Read his post again. It was a 1000 foot track, not a 1/4 mile. :)

    Might be going to the drag strip... A few questions.

    I don't remember saying not to take tips, but as others have written before you should not be worrying about the best reaction time and any of that stuff. Just try for your best run. Of course he should take tips on how to run a bit faster. But if he races someone who has raced before and...
