    long tube or short tube - what is the difference?

    Shorties would net you 0-10rwhp, long tubes 5-20 rwhp. But 50 is a little outlandish.

    cold air intake questions

    Aftermarket warranty companies CAN void warranties for modifications. Manufacturers are the only ones who cannot on new car purchases.

    how to replace front valence/chin spoiler?

    I had one fitted to my GT and just lost it last Thursday in a rainstorm. I was able to turn around and pick it up sorta scuffed though. When you go to put it back on start off by putting in the top screws in the wheelwell first to hang it properly. it will hold it mostly in place for you...

    Friend bought an R35 Skyline

    Nissan *cough* *cough*.......but glad you though it looked like a Mitsu also. :-P Well, GM goes out to track races here in Arizona and "secretly" voids warranties for cars that they can identify by VIN#. It's rare, but it happens at a few events a year where they walk around in plain clothes...

    Friend bought an R35 Skyline

    I know that the BCM or whatever records a lot of data, but it only stores it on most cars when an airbag sensor is triggered, otherwise it rewrites the data. It is setup mostly to record: Speed, Throttle Position, Braking, Sensor deployed, Seatbelt activity, etc. So when they say that the...

    Friend bought an R35 Skyline

    Muy interesante. I wonder what part is true. I thought that the whole black box business was a little far fetched to begin with, but the fact that is DOES exist is crazy. Hopefully it doesn't hit the US with that box, but his dealer gave him the STRICT impression that the box was real and in...

    mouse crap, cleaning engine, heat blanket

    I definitely wasn't going to be reusing my trees. The blanket was missing atleast 2 clips and I didn't want it messing up my 07+ Plenum cover. It was already rubbing on the stock manifold.

    My 2009 Bullitt Test Drive

    As much as I dislike the interior on the SN95 mustangs, I'd still drive an 03/04 Cobra over my S197 GT.

    Friend bought an R35 Skyline

    I think with that black box (if it's all true) it'd be more like bringing your spouse on a single's cruise. My first impressions were a mix of new Mitsu eclipse, and Nissan 350Z. The rear end looks strangely like a Corvette. look at the shoulders in the rear. I think once you see these out...

    What's better? Need info.

    Well, SCT doesn't sell the scanners full of tunes. The retailer has to load them on there. So no matter what, even if you order Brenspeed or Bamachips you're still getting a canned tune. You would have to drive to their shop to get a custom tune. I have had friends have major performance...

    mouse crap, cleaning engine, heat blanket

    I clipped mine off with side cutters and pushed the tree part through. Mine was filty and got tired of seeing it. Mice don't like Arizona so much thank goodness.

    What Mustang Should I Purchase?

    Are you saying that 280rwhp on the auto is close to 350bhp? How much % loss do the mustangs really have? I haven't seen any definite numbers on it.

    Friend bought an R35 Skyline

    I got it from my friend who just bought the car over the weekend. He said he was told all that crap when he bought the car. It looks really cool, but I think the prototype had it beat in the looks department.

    Friend bought an R35 Skyline

    Apparently it has a GPS logger in the car that records way too much data on the car, and is compiled in a report when you take it in for service. It appears that they are looking to void warranties left and right on them. 1. Exceeding 100mph on public roads voids warranty. 2.Exceeding...

    What Mustang Should I Purchase?

    I love that picture. And I just laughed my pants-off about your MPG story. When you first said you were getting 35mpg, I was thinking to myself......that won't be for long.

    does anyone feel this way

    Mine feels slower overtime. It's just your butt-dyno breaking in. It's a sucky feeling that keeps us addicted to modding.

    Exhaust on the outlaw

    My car sounds outrageous, and I love the O/R X-pipe. Definitely a good mod.

    cams

    That could also mean that they are not wanting to get them certified so they are not liable when people DO fail emmissions. Usually a cammed car has other mods to support the cam and that would make them less compliant.

    Try using them both with 20,000 volt HID lights. I get flashed a lot too.

    I wondered what that swap would look like. It's freaking awesome!
