    Pinks all out

    Rich Christiansen is a schmuck with zero understanding to what makes a car tick.. The best episode I saw was his use of the sportbike to head to the end of the track after a race concluded, he looks at the guy who usually calls him with the winner from the traps and says "Is it fast" .. 5...

    Custom Audio Systems

    I used to install for a custom shop in my college days to fund my school expenses. Up until the mustang all of my cars/suvs had large systems I fabbed in. With this car I really don't have any interest. I have had the car for 2 years now and I have turned the radio on all of about 2 times. I...

    Opinions needed! Leak Issue

    I agree with stan on this one. Technically they have an out with the whole lot of your issues being cause by the drain getting plugged, but as he said if they care about your business they'll make it right altogether or meet you half way. Others have complained about this same problem, an...

    Driving Tips - Fun with Burnouts and banging gears

    Car will never be up for sale, and my proactive maintenance is second to no ones regardless.. You simply can't play hard without doing so.

    Driving Tips - Fun with Burnouts and banging gears

    It's done to reduce et's, no other reason. Lack of granny shifting gets you to the traps faster than the guy next door. It's hard on the car no question. Poor timing can net grinding gears, missing a shift and or hurting syncros.

    Driving Tips - Fun with Burnouts and banging gears

    Sounds like you have been given some false hopes by whomever is delivering you your information. Your not going to go from 5 to 4th in a 500hp car and break the tires loose let alone the 445 your running. Your tires are not smoking alot because of compound type and wheel spead. Start the...

    20" Shelby Razors / Performance White

    Razors are definately a favorite. If rotations are not important, put a 275 minimum in the rear on those 9" wides.. I'd think about a 285 - 295 personally. This is a shot of a 285/30/20 on my 20x10 rears:

    5.0 magazine

    I was informed a few days ago by members at another forum I subscribe to that 5.0 Mustangs and Super Fords had a little blurb in their magazing with Eleanor in it. I don't subscribe so I had not seen, nor was I told it was going in there. The pic that they used is one of my older ones, so I'm...

    S197 Headers Install

    I just installed HeavyGt's Kooks headers on Saturday night. Aside from his Bassani X pipe being seized on and me contemplating cutting it off, the headers themselves were a 3 hour job start to finish. Of course I spent about 4 more hours getting the Xpipe freed up from the over axle tubes in an...

    A couple shots from NHRA Nationals

    You can get your hands on the lesser value lenses and the authorization total would be less. Calumet offers pretty much the entire canon line, by the way studion lighting rental is available as well. Here's their rental home page: http://www.calumetphoto.com/rental I know your far...

    A couple shots from NHRA Nationals

    Dark, we had to put 6500.00 on hold for full face value of the lens on a credit card in order to use it. It's immediately refunded when the lens is returned, but it's a big outlay on the card..

    A couple shots from NHRA Nationals

    Got a chance to use a 400mm canon prime. (6500.00 lens retail) Rented it with a few friends for next to nothing from Calumet photo and used it at the NHRA Nationals here at Route 66 Raceway. Here's a couple of shots from 3/4 way up the stands and down track at about 900ft mark and I was still...

    Cleaning engine bay

    Gotta disagree there, these are not pieces of fine china. More rain water from normal street driving gets onto that hot motor than you could ever introduce via the rinse setting on a garden hose in a properly done engine bay cleaning. If water was so volatile, the engine bay would be encased...

    Cleaning engine bay

    Warm motor creates a sort of steam cleaning action. Dirt loosens lots easier and the puddles that most are worried about occuring in hard to reach places don't happen on a warmed motor. They steam away. All making the entire process a breeze.. My path decribes the same steps in the link I...

    SCT XCAL3 - Cooling Fan Temps

    Typically tuners will bring the low and high speed fan turn on setting down a bit automatically. I have my low speed come on at 165 and my high speed come on at 185. I imagine with the temps your seeing your fan is running nearly non stop on high speed.

    long tube headers advice

    ARH and Kooks have the best build quality of any manufacturer, the header flangem the welds, the route of the tubing for clearance is far superior but at a cost.. JBA's will work fine, net the same gains, and probably keep most cosumers happy. The main reason for an H over an X is to gain...

    Cervini's Side exhaust?

    Every piece of my kit fit perfect, some of it had really heavy mold release on it and made prep a pain, but the kit fit on and lined up on all panels perfectly. Remember, the exhaust will be literally right behind your ears now. It's pretty damn loud, I don't consider it obnoxious, that would...
