    My Geico Savings - Seriously!!!

    I kept seeing those damn commercials. Tiny house was probably my favorite. I was getting sick of my current insurance provider, because they were raping me. I figured what the hell and filled out an online quote with Geico. I wound up saving beyond their up to 15% from the commercial. I...

    what is biggest check you ever wrote?

    It's probably bad math to give specific amounts of money that we've spent in the forums. Not suggesting that anyones up to no good, but these identity theft guys are just waiting for someone to spill the beans on how much money we are all spending. :fuss: A better thread would probably...

    MAF Cable Questions - Short and Sweet

    After installing my CAI there was a huge rubber grommet on the sensor wires that went into the factory air box. I cut it down with a razor blade as much as possible, but I still do not like the way it looks. Tried covering it with wireloom, but that makes it look a little tacky. Does...

    Sigh....some people man

    Fushnicken's law.... you will meet at least three idiots like this in your lifetime. These things always happen in three's. I've heard the 2000 Watts per speaker one before and certainly the modified 302 that looks completely stock with Flowmaster exhaust. I think these people are...

    War of the Worlds

    Batman was very good. They need to remake the other ones now, because Batman begins set the bar. Or was that Killercanary's car??? :nice: I thought the aliens always died from disease in W O T W. Every remake of it or TV spin off of it that I have ever seen ended with the aliens...

    1 Line Lock install question:

    "Proportioning Valve The proportioning valve reduces the pressure to the rear brakes. Regardless of what type of brakes a car has, the rear brakes require less force than the front brakes. If equal braking force were applied at all four wheels during a stop, the rear wheels would lock up...

    1 Line Lock install question:

    Totally agree with Stangfreak.... BS from what I can tell. I bought a Hurst Line lock a couple of months ago and I still have a picture of Stangfreak95's install hanging on my garage wall as a reference. I plan on following his exact line routing. Probably during my four day 4th weekend I...

    First time at track .Help.

    Launch on green your first few runs. Once you are comfortable you could try to shrink your R/T and 60 ft a little, but with street tires you will find this a little difficult. Here's my .03 Relax, Relax, Relax.... and I would add a side order of "no radio" to go along with that...

    Will Long Tubes Affect Drivability?

    I have similar mods like you, with BBK long tubes being one of the differences that your thread is asking about. You can check out my garage and timeslip. I was able to break the 14 sec. barrier and the long-tubes certainly haven't hurt. :nice: Strangely enough, I now have this urge to...

    17's or 18's

    This reminds me of a William Shakespeare thread discussion. :D It's kinda like "To Tint or not to Tint, that is the question?" Different strokes for different folks.... To 18 inch, or not to 18 inch is more appropriate of course and if you ask her, she will always tell you that bigger is...

    Deliberately keeping oil level low???

    :D CManT - Sorry if I came across mad, I'm not. Just adding in what I read about it. Agree that it seems dangerous, but I was just wondering if anyone on the forums was actually doing this. Certainly seems plausible. Think I will wait for the new oil pan with 7qts before trying this...

    Deliberately keeping oil level low???

    CManT, before I read the article I would have probably responded just like you with a "you're gonna blow you engine to kingdom come" response. I am not a professional mechanic, but I know what happens to an engine without oil. I did a little homework before asking something that seems like a...

    Deliberately keeping oil level low???

    According to what I have read it appears that some of you might actually be doing this intentionally. Is this just wacko jacko talk or are some of you actually doing this for real? I've been reading about drag loss on the crank both in forums and in a previous issues of MM&FF. At some point...

    Timing Question

    If you want to make your life a little easier.... Get yourself a silver sharpie to mark the balancer at 10deg, 12deg, 14 deg, whatever your looking to advance to. Those little lines can be a pain to see. I marked mine at 10 and 12. Didn't like the way she was running at 12, moved back down to...

    Aftermarket Headlights

    Agree - Chrome definately looks the best. Thanks. Going to have to think about this one a little bit. I want to change the fronts for sure. The back ones... We'll I may give the chrome a shot, but I'll have to think about it some more.

    Worst injury you've ever received?

    There is a moral in my story somewhere. Like don't use broken/faulty equipment or something... :) It's almost like, "don't use the wrong tool for the right job". Like using a aluminum ladder, resting in a swimming pool, to change a lightbulb. I am sure some of you have seen that e-mail...

    Worst injury you've ever received?

    I was playing baseball with friends at second base. One of my leather straps that held the index finger and middle finger together had snapped, but I played with my broken equipment anyhow. Kids can be so dumb sometimes. The guy at first base threw the ball to me (very... very... fast) to try...

    Exhaust install

    I put in BBK Long Tubes (Heat Treated) with BBK X-Pipe w/ CATs going back to a Flow Master Catback system. Been there and I feel your pain. Luckily, I had a friend help me with the project. He's a Chevy lover, but he knows his stuff and we get along enough of the time time, accept when it...
