    bla bla bla, another tire thread

    Before anyone says anything I searched and did not find what exactly I was looking for. Tuesday I am buying new rear tires. I have allready bought the fronts. Going with a 205/60 on stock 10 hole rims. On the rear I would love to hang a little bit of meat on the rims though. Before people start...

    detailed the engine bay. *pics*

    I detailed my engine bay a little last weekend. First I used concentrated degresser then I did in fact pressure wash the engine bay at the car wash with no ill affects at all. I didn't cover the dist. or alt but I made sure to no apply to much water to those to area's. Then I came home an hit...

    Anybody use a carb style intake

    I really just want the car to be a little more fun to drive. I assume it has 2.73 or 3.08 gears in it now and is bone stock other than me taking the silencer out of the air box and putting a k/n drop in filter in. I also cut the cats off it and bypassed my smog pump with a shorter belt. I just...

    Anybody use a carb style intake

    I planned on all 3 at the same time, I feel no need to slap one on without the other because of the whole bottle neck affect. To tell the truth it's hard for me to do any of it w/o doing something to the heads or should I say with the heads. I'd say the stock units would make great boat ancors

    Anybody use a carb style intake

    How much am I going to need to clean the runners on a Typhoon? I am just weighing my options as the first thing I am doing is a set of shorties, o/r x pipe, and a set of mufflers, then gears. I plan to follow this up with the Intake manifolr, then a throttle body and maf. Then I think I'll be...

    Anybody use a carb style intake

    With a adapter and throttle body? Kinda like GM did with the lsx style crate engine? The reason I ask is because all the efi style manifolds worth a crap seem to go for $350+ and I thought maybe this maybe a cheaper alternative.

    only little boys wear bowties???

    I think that some assume the Gen III V8's from GM are a run of the mill traditional small block when they have not properly looked into the engine design. Chevy LS1 Engine Block Basics - Hot Rod Magazine Read that as it will enlighten you a little to how the engine is different. I am by no...

    only little boys wear bowties???

    I am in no way saying to "bow defeat" but the least that can be done is to recognize what the car did right at the time. They were quick and still are for what can be done to them and what they can be bought for now. I'd say the same thing for the Cobra on a GM/LS1 forum

    only little boys wear bowties???

    Move it to fight club I have been respectfull and nice sense I joined because that is the kind of person I am but my gloves are coming off for this one. Why in the hell do you guys or any muscle car/American car fan spend so much flipping time hating on eachother when the import companies are...

    only little boys wear bowties???

    My god lets not get into this again, stock times for a stock 03 Cobra are only a tenth or 2 faster than the 02 SS's and WS6's while being rated at 65 more hp. For anyone to sit back and not credit GM with what they did right with the 97-02 LS1 cars dont have a right to call themselves a...

    only little boys wear bowties???

    Any car is fine by me if done up in taste. I live pre 78 and post 93 GM's, post 79 fords, and a variety of Mopar's. I like 4cyl's, 6cyl's, V8's, turbo'd, N/A cars, sc'd cars. I love cars. Sure I could do without the a-hole with a fart can and a big wing on a import but I can also respect that...

    Does Ford think we're Stupid? 315 horse? what the hell!

    No that would mean even more people thinking that American companies are not worth investing in be it on the stock side of it or on the consumer side.

    Pics of my 89 SSP(please dont laugh) lol

    It was a Utah State car, I have not gotten into what the car was used for but I plan on researching it a bit. The tag is on the radiator support. I plan to get the numbers off it to see exactly what the car was used for. I dont think it was a patrol car because it has around 93,000 original...

    I think once I get that rust sport fixed and get it primered sitting on stock rims I'll feel alot better about it.

    in case u ever wondered what the s/c cobras rwhp stock..

    The GTO was not in the same segment though IMO. Sure from a outward appearence it seemed so but I think they really tried to mature the f-body/pony car image with it and go after M3's and such. They failed as the GTO is just not that car, it was nice but the IRS killed it along with it bland...

    Pics of my 89 SSP(please dont laugh) lol

    I was not really even going to get one but I walked in a aftermarket car/truck(mainly truck from what I seen) shop and it was $95, plays mp3's, bluetooth ready, and a ipod aux input on the front. I was like what the hell might as well. I actually didn;t mind no radio that much, I kinda liked...

    Well compared to what cars I see on here man it's hard to look at mine and be happy. It will come along though. First order is getting some tunes in it. I have been riding around for 2 weeks with out a radio and that includes 2 400 mile round trips to Salt Lake City. I bought a new JVC CD/MP3...
