    Bad happenings (near death experience)

    I'm not too sure what that means, but I'm guessing it's an unsult. After seeing that guy again today with his wife and kids I don't feel as upset about what he did. There's a good chance he just wasn't paying attention. It seems the smart thing to do would be to not speed in rural areas...

    shortened my throw

    I bought a new shift knob to day in hopes of shortening my throw. I got a nice leather wrapped one. It fits in far better than the CF monster that came with the t-5 when I bought it. It also reduced the lenght of my shifter by about 3 inches. Feels much better. Am wondering If anyone has any...

    Yo "Mr.Woodster"...

    I grind the meat up and mix it with cheese before I put it on a toasted bun. Kinda like a texas cheese steak. Nobody who hasn't tried can say that a particular swap won't 'work'. But I have to agree with the concept that Heavy modification=short lifespan. If you don't mind the thought of...

    WOOT, big find in the J-yard today

    Have fun dropping in your T-5. If you've never transferred before, be prepared. Those pedals are a bitch to get out. The speedo cable on an automatic is in the hole where the clutch cable goes, you'll have to fix that. Also, you'll need to use the mount from your a4ld and the same cross member...

    New Tires

    My reasoning for the higher top speed thing is; Even thought the larger tires gave a higer 'theoretical' top speed, the engine could not produce enough power to effectively reach that speed. By reducing the true final drive ratio, the engine is able to push more wieght with less effort. There...

    Chevy Cobalt

    I don't like the cobalt. It's a very late attempt for a stab at the neon. The cavallier sucked ass and they threw this out. It's basically a rehashed cavallier. The "american ricer" era is coming to a close. And the import tuning market is starting to dwindle. With gas prices sky rocketing the...

    Need some more cooling help

    If there seems to be 12 volts at the fan connector then the fan should be running. Id try to connect another 12v utility to the connector and see if it's really working (allthought a voltimiter should tell you that) I'd try another fan if you're really seeing 12v . The sending unit for the fan...

    It's a little more than a Tad, the Big thick truck tires reaaaaly bogged it down before.

    I broke the tires loose on my 2.3 auto...

    I dropped the clutch in mine earlier and fishtaled for about 30 feet on dry pavement. You just gotta know how to clutch it just right. Plus I still think I'm cranking well over 88 hp too. Saturday night drag stripping will tell all.

    New Tires

    Installed some Fusion IR 195 50 15's today. Great tires. Car accelerates more quickly, handles better, and can even reach a higher top speed (in a respectable time) I'd reccomend these tires to anyone who likes lo pro's. My price, 200. Retail, 289. They have a directional and very agressive...

    Crash

    My user name wouldn't register. I didn't get a confirm email. So I made this one. It should be easy to recognize.
