    need help! fast!!

    Most sensible thing anyone here's said. Justin is good, and SCT chips are great, but there's a limit to what some guy 2000 miles away can do without seeing your car on a dyno.

    need help! fast!!

    What do you mean by coolant keeps 'coming out' of the reservoir?? Do you mean (a) it's overflowing out of the reservoir, or (b) the level in the reservoir is dropping? If it's (a), you have some kind of overheating issue. If it's (b), and you have moisture in your exhaust, then...

    '03 drop question

    You should seriously think about whether you really want 20s. You have two options. Either (a) keep the overall wheel/tire diameter and width the same, or (b) use a wider-than stock tire diameter and width. If you choose (a), then you'll be working with about a 275/30/20 tire. I promise...

    gear ratio and rpms

    That and the fact that the 94-98s just don't breathe well enough (neither the intake tract nor the cam) to make power at anything more than 5k-ish. The torque drops off like mad above 5k. 99+s breathe better, we don't start to drop significantly until 5.5+k.

    General Tune-Up questions

    Depends how deep your pockets are, really. I could rhyme off a list of about 20 items that should be checked. However, these are the important ones: Spark Plugs: if you haven't replaced them in the last 20-30k, do them. They're usually about 3-8 bucks each to buy, and you can and should...

    need help! fast!!

    Sounds like you just need a tune. Some higher octane gas would probably take care of the knocking until you get her tuned. As to the stuttering... can you be a bit more descriptive? With an install as complicated as that one, it could be almost anything..... Do yourself a favor and stop...

    Upgrading Mach460

    So you're saying there's really no way to improve the sound out of this thing without trashing the whole system??

    What would be your first few mods?

    Depends what you want, dude. If you wanna look and sound good, get the exhaust and sound system first. If you wanna go faster, get the pulleys, intake, and take a look at a spacer. Personally, exhaust is the first thing I got. Makes the car look better, sound better, and doesn't hurt in the...

    '03 drop question

    1. Progressive springs are springs that have a spring rate that changes with compression. For example, the spring rate at 'resting' height may be 300#, but when compressed by an inch (like going over a bump), the spring rate increases to 400#. A constant spring is one that would exhibit the same...

    Upgrading Mach460

    I was looking at upgrading the Mach460 in my car. I was looking at using some Infinity speakers (probably 6x8s, as they seem to fit). I don't have much info on the Mach460 amps and head unit. Can I use these...

    02 v6 issue rev's for no reason

    Indeed. It's not a computer glitch - if it's revving that hard, especially when at speed, then you're actually getting significant air flow into the engine. Items to check would be the Idle Air Control Valve, and the Throttle Body itself. Also you might want to check out the throttle cable...

    bottoming out over speed bumps

    Dude something about this just sounds weird to me. You're saying you're hearing banging when you go over bumps, your tranny is shaking, and when you push down on your fender, your car shakes side to side?!?! WTF? It might be time to take it and have the front end serviced if you're having all...

    Intake, rim and accesory polishing

    Hardly man. It's taken me two months to do what little I have done because I'm so busy!! It's going to take me another two months to finish this thing for sure. That's assuming I actually do finish, and don't get up and send it for powdercoating...

    bottoming out over speed bumps

    Your tranny shakes? Can you elaborate on that a bit? You mean the shift lever shakes a bit? That's not totally abnormal to get vibrations up through there.

    Intake, rim and accesory polishing

    Good stuff. I'm currently attempting to polish my own upper intake (split port). WAY more trouble than I thought it would be. The casting is awful! I've probably had to shave 1mm from the entire surface just to get rid of the pitting. :notnice: What kinda tools do you use for your stuff?

    How difficult is replacing the front bumper cover?

    The bumper cover is very easily doable. But the fender isn't. If you're going to have to take it to a shop to have the fender fixed, why not order a new bumper cover from wherever, and just give them the new bumper cover to put back on when they're done? Sorry about the bad luck man...
