    Functional Parts vs. Flare

    Funny thing is, i agree with you. Read my post again, I (me, opinion) do not like them. I cannot see paying to have them if they do nothing. But i think everyone else should enjoy them and support the aftermarket. I was merely responding to the request for opinions, in the future i will try...

    Functional Parts vs. Flare

    Sorry but sometimes you guys are a bunch of crybabys.... You asked for opinions so I gave one. I stated it is up to you what you do, but i thought you wanted to know what we thought: Definition of opinion: (dictionary.com) 1. a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to...

    Putting the pony away for winter

    I live in MI and put mine away two weeks ago (which i regret because it has not snowed since then and i hate my rice burner 4Runner, plus in MI you just don't buy foreign cars...my neighbor openly told me he wants to beat my a__, and he likes me). I did the same as you (no need for oil change...

    Tire Shine overspray/splatter

    i use the Turtle Wax Tire Gel and it is the best i have used to date, it clings the best and it lasts the longest (it can still be seen after well over a week depending on climate and frequency of washing). But your assumption about dust and dirt is correct, primarily only the first time you...

    Functional Parts vs. Flare

    I agree that it is your car and you should not care what others think. Having said that any non-functional parts one adds to the car are ultra gay. I do not have a non-functional bipod on my rifle, I do not have non-functioning buttons on my joystick. Maybe you could add a nitrous switch that...

    Cronical of events related to Karhma

    Thank you ever so much for your service, albeit in two forgotten and I dare say unnecessary conflicts.

    ETC Button

    So are you saying you can light the tires just as well with it on as you can with it off? If so it is not working and i am jealous.

    ETC Button

    You can shut off this feature permanently with almost any programmer. You will not notice it being on or off unless and until you give enough power to break the tires loose. I can't wait to shut mine off as i sometimes forget it's on and stomp on it only to look like a fool when the gas is cut...

    Trying to purchase a GT500 for MSRP

    I think that if Motor Trend is right and they make a Bullitt and a Boss for 08 that will have a major affect on the price of the GT500 and we can all get one for sticker maybe. I would prefer a Boss with a 302 over the GT500 for handling reasons if no other, but if they make 1000 of them i can...

    Hooker Long Tubes

    I am planning on the same setup as you describe but maybe with Borlas or something a little less aggressive than the LM pipes. I say this because i think it will be a bit too much with headers, x, and LMs. So far all i have done is bend some aluminum and lose the factory mufflers for a major...

    Comp cams Stage 2 and 3 questions

    OK, so then am i being naive or would it not cost that much more to get forged rods/pistons (crank too?) installed with new cams and heads? i plan to add a SC later so this would likely prep the inside for more power. Another question is if i do this now will i be safe to push 550-650HP...

    Comp cams Stage 2 and 3 questions

    Thanks a lot. I want both the sound and the power. Would you guys suggest waiting for a different cam or adding heads too? Thanks.

    S197 Mustang ||| Black Box?

    I think you guys are missing the point. I just think the driver should have the choice. I don't think you should go run over little old ladies or cause any other type of accident and expect to be absolved. I think street racing and any risky driving on public roads is both dangerous and...

    Comp cams Stage 2 and 3 questions

    Thanks as usual cat. I remember reading that at bama as well. So from the sounds of it the current stage 3 cam will not give me that vicious idle I am looking for. If I want that idle should I just wait and save $$ for some heads as well? Thanks again.:nice:

    Comp cams Stage 2 and 3 questions

    Thanks a lot man. So if i went with a "Stage II" cam how expensive do you think the install would be? Should i let me buddy that is ASE certified with his own shop for years do this or should i only allow a speed shop with exp on S197s do the work? Is the valvespring adjustment something that...

    Thanks!:nice:

    Comp cams Stage 2 and 3 questions

    Has anyone installed a cam in their S197 and if so what info do you have to offer? This looks to be a relatively cheap upgrade compared to an SC or Turbo. Do any of you have any idea what the install cost might be (I am assuming it is out of my realm of expertise)? Is this something you guys...

    S197 Mustang ||| Black Box?

    Albeit a car is not a dirtbike (although my streetbike does not have one either), and it is a priveledge to own firearms as well, they do not test fire my guns when i buy them so they can trace the rounds in the event i use the weapon. My boat did not have an EDR on board either to track info...

    S197 Mustang ||| Black Box?

    This issue can be argued in either direction but I think the bottom line is that the end user should be able to disable or write-protect this device if they so desire without any adverse effects (does it cause the airbag to be inoperable as CNN reported if you tamper with said device?). If the...

    Has anyone done 140MPH with 4.10 gears?

    You are almost better off to rehearse evasive maneuvers at that speed. In MI anything over 20MPH over the limit is considered reckless driving and is punishable by incarceration.
