Haven't even started 425 since I picked up the Jaguar (3 weeks) and MOD coming in 3 days I needed to make sure she is ready for the annual 400 mile trip.I decided to swap in the 180 t-stat and remove the 160 stat. Found a tiny leak on the plug that blocks off the t-body coolant return. Fixed...

I am looking for new wheels for my DD.The stock wheels are +49mm backspacing. The wheels I am looking at are +40mm back spacing.Does that mean they will be 9mm further into the wheel well (closer to the a-arms) or further out of the wheel well.And am I thinking correctly that on a 8.5 wide...

I have owned this car since Dec of 2003. I started with it as a bone stock car with 113,000 miles at a bank repo lot. I have spent 9 years bringing this car to this point. It is a 9.8(maybe better) out of 10 both inside and out. I am extremely anal and nothing has been left to chance. I daily...

Ok guys, his topic comes up a few times a year. And I want to try and get some benefits for us.I have been talking to Hagerty Insurance and they are now offering their insurance for our cars no strings attached.The reason for me posting this is two-fold.#1 - Ability to insure our cars for...

I am in the middle of this project.I am really second guessing the idea of filling the brand new bearings with window weld.I have seen two new rebuilds vibrate badly after the filling of the bearings.Well, what you you do?.Fill or no fill.

I will be removing the interior from 425 and dying the carpet, re-sound proofing the floor pan, installing new vibration foam tape on all the trim, wiring, and anything else that can rattle and I have a question from anybody that has "professinal detailing" experience.I will be bringing the...

Prefer the 12 round but will concider the 9 round.Anybody got some they want to let go?

Bobdole has come through in a big way.They look and work great.Here is the For Sale thread and my full write up.clickGood job Bobdole (or should I call you Chuck). Now lets see them head lights and tail lights you got in the workx....

These were the snow tire set for my cousins 91 Civic. He used them for 2 seasons and they are like new. This car did not even have enough power to spin the wheels on ice.Tread depth is 10mm and are fully mounted and balanced. The steelies have lots of rust but are solid and perfect for the...

Want to play with one, does not need to be very good. I will most likely cut it to pieces so I want a cheap one.Shipped to 52806.Thanks

I used these on my Ralliart for 2 winters. 205/50/17 They have about 5 months on them and approx 5000 miles. 9mm tread depth left. Rims are in 98% condition. Mounted and balanced, ready to go. Absolutly zero uneven wear.I mounted them on brand new set of Enkie 3G factory wheels and also...

Shipped to Davenport,IA 52806.Thanks

I have been having some issues with the factory alarm and my dome light won't always come on when I open the drivers door.I also have an issue with the factory horn that is for the alarm system. Only the headlights flash and the relay on the firewall that drives the horn clicks but the horn...

I washed the engine bay late today and cause a limp home condition after driving it for a few miles. This has happened once before years ago when I was running a 3G MAS and now I am running speed density.After limping it home the last 4 miles and racking my brain to figure out what still could...

It took almost a year, but they are finally on. Thank you for everything.

Most of you know that I have spent the last 3 years rebuilding my Summit White 1992 GVR4. This rebuild literally has included everything from the chassis all the way to a full drivetrain upgrade.The only thing left is to rebuild the driveshaft and bolt on the strut tower braces(front and...

I bought this new in early 2010 for my Galant VR4 and used it for about 400 miles. It worked great for daily driving but wont cool enough for 600 crank HP on the dyno. It performed great to 320 wheel horsepower on the dyno and kept the engine at 215F.It is a Nissens product with the part...

This is the unit I ran for 5 years. Works great. The cable is custom to my car only so you will have to cut the aftermarket plug off and wire it or just PM Iceman and buy is plug-n-play harness for $15.I will include the 4.5" filter for free.$55.00 shipped anywhere in the USA. Sold

OK. the dark gray Palm will not power up (parts only), the blue Palm works good. The Sony Clie PEG-N610C battery is dead and I can't charge it.As you can see, there is a PC connect cord and 1G connect cord is there for the Palm M105 units and the Sony has the PC connect cord and the...

I have converted to speed density. When venting to atmosphere is it ok for the BOV to be open at idle and allowing air to blow out?I am running the 7lb spring and I have 12 inches of vac.Should I install a spring that will just keep the BOV closed at idle?

Either the 6 round or the 10 round? Anybody got the hookup?I would like to get 3 or 4.

Thanks Paul.Got all winter to clean these up and paint body color. Might polish the bars or maybe just paint them also.Still looking for a killer deal on a rear sway bar.

For those of you that have solid motor mounts, removed balance shafts, and big cams, you know this problem all to well.Way to many rattles.After spending a ton of time finding the rattles, some are very hard to fix.The one that has me stumped is the ignition key.I have a brand new key...

A few years ago Chris Beran built my down pipe but we attached it to the old crappy mid-pipe and tail section. Well, over the last year or so, I have been cleaning up the little things. So it was time to take care of the exhaust.The old system was causing a lot of strain on the flex, was...

This a quick tutorial without pics. They are just not needed.1 - Jack up front of the car and support as high as you can with jack stands. 2 - Remove both front wheels. 3 - Remove the top sway bar link nuts and pivot links out of the way. 4 - Remove both lower engine cradle brackets and gusset...

Are these two models interchangeable as far as rear sway bars go?I think they should be considering you cam swap entire sub-frames.Anybody have the answer?

Would there be any benefit of running Mobile One turbo diesel oil in our car instead of the regular Mobile One? It comes in 40w and that is what I want to run.

I have been messing around in the garage for the last few days learning how to burn holes in sheet steel and I ran out of wire. So before I went to Harbor Freight, I decided to read the manual for this used flux welder I got and low and behold the PO installed the wrong size wire (too big)...

Stock 1992 GVR4 rear (will be fore sale in an hour in the PS section)Now with 1990 plain-jane rear (I think they came off a 90 anyway)What do you think?

I made two trips last month (over 5000 miles) in my 2010 Outlander GT. Needless to say, the bugs on the front on the SUV is so thick that after two MAJOR hand washings with "carwash" soap and microfiber mit the paint feels smooth but you can still see the crap on the paint. (and when I mean...

As most of you know, there was a long post about oil coolers and where to mount, how to mount, etc...Well, after talking to two engine builders I have decided to mount in the upright configuration (like stock) and put it in the only place I could figure out that fit without taking my car...

Looks like we can get 160, 170, 180, 192, and OEM temp.I only drive my car during spring, summer, and fall. It NEVER sees winter driving. Anything under 50 deg it will not come out of the garage.Currently my car runs between 205-215 and want to lower that a little bit so that maybe the under...

I just got my rails installed.I wanted to post up a few pics and give you all my first impressions on these.Installation:The act of installing then was simple. The hardest part was striping the undercoating off. The next hardest part was getting the car up off the ground far enough and...

I found a dead injector after my car was in storage over the winter.I sent my injectors out to be cleaned and flow tested. I just got off the phone with Rich, the owner of Cruzin Performance. He has informed me that anybody running an alcohol blended fuel will need to be aware of injectors...

I am sure there was some really simple adapter plug or harness I could have got to make my new clear JDM corners work with 425/1000 but I still would have needed to buy new bulbs and some sort of adapter so I got creative.No need to cut wiring or buy bulbs.I cut the JDM socket center out...

Only using a 4-spider, can't bring myself to buy an LSD for the front. And I opted to keep the standard 5th gear. But all the other bells and whistles. Evo III 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears. Full double snycros, latest revision shift forks, all new hub/sliders, keys, springs, input shaft, and...

Tyler bought my hood. Had good communication and showed up at my house when he said. Super smooth purchase and stands by his word. Hope the hood performs well for you.Thanks man.

I took the whole week off of work to be home while my kids are on spring break. They are old enough to take care of themselves for the day but need to be ready to settle "disputes" that come up.But the real reason is to strip out the engine bay and re-spray to ready the chassis for the new EVO...

Something that on the surface looks to be such an easy job can be screwed up WAY to easily.Installing electrolytic capacitors backwards results in instant death.Failing to top solder the caps can cause intermittent issues.Failing to remove all the acid will lead to death.Failing to use...

I took JC and his cleaning crew out to dinner tonight and I noticed a clicking sound in 1st gear. It seemed to go away once shifted.Well, after commenting on a weird noise to JC that it may be an axle, I decide to lay down the throttle after taking a slow right turn onto a 4 lane highway (sure...

At idle I have 11.8v and at 3K I have 12.8 and it is jumping up and down.Looks like I get to install the new unit I have sitting on my shelf.I went to take a Mustang GT off the line and I revved it and started to engage the clutch quickly and she just fell on its face. Looked around and the...

I bought a new one from Wal-Mart (I know, first mistake) and it is basically a side of hide that after 1 month stinks (yes, I stored it right) and never really was any good.It was very thin.My old shammy was awesome. About 1/8" thick, very absorbent and lasted for 5 years (but I can't find...

I need to replace the cooler lines on my stock 90 filter/cooler setup.I need 4 of the adapters that screw into the housing and cooler.Where can I get them and what exact size do I look for?I will get braided line and the nessisary 90 deg and straight fittings needed to connect the two...

Anybody have any leads on where to find a kits for out cars?

Notice the Outlander's dirty wheel reflecting in the door. These pictures do not do it justice.Tired now. Going to bed because I am getting sloppy with the tools.

I just got back from the bone yard and snagged me some chrome door handle "thumb" covers. The Chrome just peels right off and is ready for paint.Super easy to paint either black or body color.I was suprised how easily the chrome peeled off.

The local yard hads one of the chrome grills that is in perfect shape.I already stole the clips buy the grill in in incredible shape. Chrome is great, the inner slats are crack-free and the emblem is only slightly faded.Don't know what they want for it, but I would bet around $20.
