    which oil do you use. I am debating

    i read somewhere (not online so no link) that there was a test conducted by an oil distributor on how the different oils handle breakdown. the top two were Penzoil syn and Castrol syn. the Mobil 1 syn failed horribly, and Royal Purple wouldnt let them run the test:scratch:

    I got bit today

    +1 it comes with everything to get your car running fairly well until you can get it on a dyno and have someone tune it. all of the extras cost more if you buy the novi 2000 from paxton and then the parts seperate. mongoose is an awesome deal. when i get $4,200 im going mongoose novi 2000...

    shocks and struts

    y not go coil overs? does he plan on lowering it? plus it would make a good base for adding better uca's and lca's.

    weird question for this thread...

    because at idle, i can hear my car from inside my house. if someone is sitting next to me at a light, my car can be heard over their stereo....thats why i dont think i can be a sleeper.

    weird question for this thread...

    :rlaugh: i dont think my current exhaust would go well with the v6 body, plus i will be adding l/t's when the kb goes in. i wont even be able to fool people at idle, good idea though, lol

    weird question for this thread...

    well, right now, since im only 18, i think insurance is out of the question. my car is paid off, and if i got a cobra, i would use full coverage. imagine what full coverage would be on a 03-04 cobra for an 18 year old male in southern cali.... used cobras in my area run about 25-35k...

    weird question for this thread...

    i kno, many people would :nonono: on a fake cobra...but you cant say that you dont love the look of a cobra. i cant afford a cobra, much less the insurance for one. i should just save the money after going kb for a forged bottom end huh? thanks guys

    what all do i need to upgrade if i get the 1.7kb with the 9# intercooler kit

    turbo or supercharger

    what numbers are you talking about? hp numbers, or turbo numbers? if you mean hp, then the most my engine can handle with stock short block, and soon to be upgraded heads (valve springs, cams, retainers) i assume turbos might be a little easier on the engine for just cruising because while...

    turbo or supercharger

    not exactly, but finding mix-matched turbo parts for a honda is much easier than for a stang. in my area, every other civic hatch or crx is turboed...cannot say that same for a stang. i kno i could probably fab up some piping, but what sized turbo should i go for? and what kind of management...

    turbo or supercharger

    are used kb's any good? or should i just buy a new one? 1.7 or 2.2? would it be a good investment to get a 98 cobra motor, rebuild it, and then charge it, if the motor is cheap? thanks everyone
