    Squeaky Pullies?

    Anyone ever had one of their pulleys make noises? ive yet to track it down, mostly because it only does it in the mornings, and i have other things to do (like, get to work asap!), and its usually gone by the time i hop on the freeway (a few streets away). and in the heat of the afternoon the...

    KB VS Centrif.

    Roots SC typically produce more strain on the rotating assembly because of how quickly they are able to create boost, especially in the lower rpm bands where the load on the motor is greater than once its moving in the upper rpm band. I agree with a roots type being more fun on the street...

    I drove a Turbo'd Nissan 240sx

    stock for stock most turbo 4's are slower than a GT. however unlike GT's, factory turbo cars usually respond very well to minor mods, and such mods are super cheap. my 91 GSX was pretty eh with its ~195hp, but with 1500$ (DSMLink, injectors, fuel pump+regulator) it would probably take a...

    Which turbo for my cobra?

    twin GT30's! but yeah, you need to build to get past 450ish. however the great thing about turbo(s) is you can go big now, and just not run much boost at all, then when the motor gets finished, you can just crank up the boost.

    Sunny California Day + Lazer Red SN95= MOVING SHOTS!!!!

    its really not that bad, you get used to the ragged heat we get in the central valley, or what i like to call it, the ****ty dust bowl where everything is brown unless its raining. you dont mind or notice it until you go somewhere else and on your return trip its like a smack in the face how...

    Drove an 07 GT, not impressed?

    its ok, i test drove a 05 GT when they first hit the lots and was less than impressed. felt like a wannabe beamer to me, suspension was soft, car was quiet, power was lacking, everything to me had no feedback. not what i want in a car, i want to feel the road, the tranny, the suspension on every...

    1) Seafoam 2) Change Plugs 3) Change Fuel Filter 4) Change Oil / Oil Filter 5) Change Tranny Fluid 6) Change Differential Fluid 7) Change Air Filter or Clean / Re-Oil Filter shifting at 3k is pretty far into the rpm band, even with stock gears i shifted around 2300 in my GT, filled up once...

    I want shine!!

    youre only supposed to use dawn or dish soap to wash if you intend on claybarring/polish/waxing the car. otherwise once you wash with dish soap you take off all the wax and sealers and expose the clear to UV rays and sunlight and the elements. once you harm the clear youre doneski. weekly...

    Buying a Terminator

    i get this feeling too. through 1st and 2nd isnt that fast feeling, it pulls nicely but ive been in cars that hurt when moving up under 100mph. however unlike those cars, the cobra pulls with the same aggressiveness through 3rd, 4th and into 5th. my buddy was all like "its fast but i expected...

    for 140$ you can get C-Springs which would be the more advised route, get rid of the 4x4 look.

    I want shine!!

    youve obviously never been to an actual detailing site that uses products not found in your local pep-boys. when doing a full detail (includes claybarring, polish/sealer/wax, etc), its recommended to start off with dish soap like dawn, to remove road oils and whatever is left of the old wax...
