    Engine rattle

    well today was interesting so I thought I would go ahead and post it here... I took my car in for a air filter cleaning, fuel filter change, and a oil change. Well, they did an inspection and found my serpentine belt and tensioner needing replacing. In fact, the tensioner was so loose it...

    which brake upgrade

    I have an '02. The PBR does not stop as good as what I would like. My old Mazda MX6 stops better than this car and in Vegas with traffic the way it is out here I need better breaking power IMO.

    which brake upgrade

    i gotta question as I am also looking at a brake kit upgrade... I have the chrome saleen 9inch front and 10inch back rims. They weigh a ton!!! Would the cobra kit everyone here is suggesting be enough of a upgrade to stop the car effectively? The little brakes on my car right now just...

    Engine rattle

    :rlaugh: I live in Las Vegas... it's hot here most of the year :rlaugh: oh well... I am taking the car in to get a fuel filter/oil change/air filter cleaning tomorrow. I'll have them look at the headers and make sure they are bolted down well. Next week the tune should fix any issues I...

    Engine rattle

    hmmm... well I am going to get a custom tune next week so I will get that resolved pretty soon then it sounds like. Pinging during acceleration normal?!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! They are nuts. Thanks for the inside info though :) by the way, other mods include a 1.5inch drop, bigger rims, Steeda...

    Engine rattle

    i only got 40k miles on the car... a crack in the flywheel would PISS me off to say the least but it is an option however much I would not want to admit it. As far as pinging... I only have an intake, LT, h-pipe, and cat back. I don't think I am cramming enough air in the car yet to justify...

    Engine rattle

    okay guys I have an 02 GT 5spd. When the car has a load on it (aka in gear) and I am accelerating I hear this metallic rattling/chatter noise under the hood. If I put the car in neutral and rev the motor, the sound is no longer present. Now, I do have BBK longtubes, but the sound was...

    Has anyone raced a......

    the RX8 is slow... the RX7 is SWEET but the FD is EXTREMELY unreliable. The MS 6 is a nice ride... I wouldn't own one for the price they are asking though. And whoever said it is a shame to compare a family sedan to a sports car... shame!!! First off, the MGT is not a sports car in its...

    Good shops in Las Vegas?

    i found someone good in a repair shop that referenced me to some guys for all my gear stuff I need done. Also, 1320 Motorsports came recommended from several different people for dyno testing and tuning. Go to MCLV and look there. They seemed to be pretty helpful. I'm getting to the point...

    How to shed 100lbs?

    hmmm... you know I guess fix-a-flat would work to get me to a shop to get the tire fixed... and be quicker at it huh? okay... so I am still convinced I can do my own seat delete with light weight plastic, some carpet, and a touch of glue. The driveshaft should help a lot. I guess the last...

    How to shed 100lbs?

    i need the car daily driveable... removing the passenger seat is not an option. I like the idea of a hood and the rear seats weigh a ton if you remove the metal backplane. That thing is heavy!!! I alos just thought today that I could get a lighter driveshaft. Rotational mass loss would be...

    How to shed 100lbs?

    If I can find matching carpet I think I could make one around 15lbs or so. I wouldn't buy one :)

    How to shed 100lbs?

    yeah that site is the ****... Tom rocks!!! :hail2: thank you sir... now I know how to get back to near stock weight. Rear seat delete, battery, floor mats, rear sound deadening material, and most likely have to get some custom seats!!!

    How to shed 100lbs?

    So I want to take my car on a diet and drop a 100lbs. on the car. I figured a rear seat delete will drop 25lbs or so. A lightweight battery will get me a good drop in weight, and I will get a relocation kit and move it to the back of the car for better distribution. What else can I do? I...

    18 inch rims?

    yes I did... you have to have the HP to back up those chrome saleens... which my car does not have at the moment. I bought mine with the expectation of further mods that would warrant those tires in back. I am getting gears and a tune and that should fix the issue in acceleration. Getting the...

    My Honda is faster than your Cobra...

    hell... if that is real how are you linking up the tranny to the engine block... where would it go? Not to mention how are you gonna run the driveshaft and make it RWD. And that hood is going to have a hole the size of Texas to let the engine through... I am actually really interested to...

    Why bother with teh regular bolt-ons?

    nope... I have I/H/MP/E on my car and am building the rear end up in about a month and getting gears. After that it will be clutch time, and then supercharger time. I agree with what you so until then my car will just be slow :) Although, I use to have a 150shot on it... but it got removed a...
