    ART? Who wants their car illustrated? *pics*

    I wouldn't want to put that much effort into drawing peoples cars all the time either. The guy probably wants to lead a normal life too which probably isn't very possible when you have 20+ people wanting you to draw pictures of their cars that take 4+ hours to make.

    WOT / OD 4r70w

    It's just the shift (as far as I know) that is dangerous to OD. Once you are in OD you shouldn't have to worry (once again this is AFAIK, I could be wrong)

    Royal Purple...WOW!!

    Unless you continually bring your car up to redline and just plain beat the living hell out of it I don't see why you'd waste that much money on RedLine just because it's a Group V. Mobil 1 is MORE than adequate for any conditions 99% of street cars will ever see...

    Self-installing Cams

    I wasn't sure if VT or Comp cams required new sprockets or not.

    Self-installing Cams

    I bought the Anderson Motorsports tool when we did our swap, that thing was IMO the biggest pile of crap I've ever seen. C-Clamp and Vice Grips worked 10x better. You'd have to talk to someone who had to use different cam gears about the chains, I got to reuse my cam gears so we didn't have to...

    WOT / OD 4r70w

    Only issue there is the car will probably try downshift on you if you are in OD and then floor it, then you'll be in 3rd really quick and at WOT when it re-shifts into OD. It's not impossible, I just would be very very very very wary of doing it in a 300+RWHP car. Get your OD off button fixed...

    WOT / OD 4r70w

    I dunno if the gearing is different in your cars but the last non-OD gear only brings me up to about 85mph. And yes, if your car shifts into OD while you are at WOT you do run the risk of snapping the input/output (can't remember which) shaft and destroying your OD at a minimum, the entire...

    Pull each COP and check, you probably blew a plug. The tool for fixing it is called a Timesert.

    Flowmaster Scraping Normal?

    My guess is that your pipes/mufflers are scraping part of the body of the car. My flowmasters rubbed both my brake lines and fit HORRIBLY between the axel/edge of the car/control arms. I had to take it to a shop to get it aligned properly because the fit was so bad.

    What have I done?

    ^^Troof! Someone posted once how they did a headswap and prior to the first removal of the heads, he had babied the car and the pistons/cylinders/heads were carboned up very bad. Several months/long span of time later he removed the heads again but had been "beating the piss" out of the car...

    Car sounds awful and code P0171

    Clean your Mass Airflow Sensor My car was throwing random rich/lean codes for over a year, they were sporadic but annoying nonetheless. Put it on the dyno after doing what I think will be the end of my modding and found out my MAF was dirtier than a mofo and throwing the AF ratio off VERY bad...

    How to get better MPG

    It's really straightforward, just crawl under the rear of your car and you'll see the filter and be able to tell how to do it. Just make sure you have a rag to soak up the gas that will leak out and make sure you don't get any in your eyes.

    Heavily Modified Mustang Stolen out of my garage!

    If I were him, I'd be sitting at home with every gun I own loaded and ready to go at all times just waiting for this guy to come back. He would definitely not leave in anything more glamorous than a body bag. If I had to leave, I'd leave my gun with the stay at home neighbor and drop them some...

    any 94-98 stangs with dual halo lights?

    No, it's not my eyes, they look like asscrack period. Not just your car, but my car before I got new headlights, and every other 96-98 I see locally driving around, several of which are "mint condition"

    looking to buy a new carry pistol

    That's what I meant... Price of an H&K is greater than the price of a Glock H&K > Glock :D

    any 94-98 stangs with dual halo lights?

    No they don't, the yellow corners look like asscrack.

    Xylene for octane boost?

    Because to run high percentage ethanol gas in a non-flex fuel/ethanol ready engine will corrode your fuel lines/hoses due to the acidity, as well as prematurely eating away non-stainless exhaust components due to higher H20 content in the exhaust.
