    Came home with a new commuter (that I f'd up on day 2....)

    Oh man tc's where beat to death teen/ early 20's owners when they where new, they also are surprisingly :poo:ty on gas for the combo.

    Engine Cleaning Intake valves with lower intake off

    Kind of a waste of time IMHO but forget the pick, grab a handful of long zip ties and a decent chucked drill then twist all but the ends and chuck it up in the drill and let the nylon knock out the carbon... That was the cheap DIY walnut blasting for DI engines lol. Make sure the valves are...

    Discussion on mild budget build/ top end

    I hope that's Canadian money.... I'd sell both and snag an explorer/ mountaineer throttle body and intake on the cheap... Linkage needs to be modified on the throttle body but that's a simple tack weld.. For heads look at vevor and eBay for discounts or performamce world in Canada there both...

    Lmr sells em but there probably just generics with a sticker that you can buy for 10 bucks, pretty much just need to know the length and stud ball size. Most are 10mm.

    Taillight upgrade?

    Nope 79-82 are a different tail panel panel/ housing lay out that will leak with 83 up style housings. 83-93 housings are interchangeable, though 79-87 use an 1157 prong type bulbs while 88-93 uses a 3157 wedge bulb for reverse and brakes yet they kept the prong type for turn signal...... Just...

    BaT: $227k+ Coyote fox auction

    BaT: $227k+ Coyote fox auction

    The shop rate is low especially for Fab work but there's multiple double charges in the work descriptions. Why you don't pay a Fab shop to build a street car unless you got a open check book, you can build a crazy chassis car for that amount.. its a fox body, making one off parts is dumb when...
