    Tire Dilema - looking to scale down a bit...

    Haven't posted here in a while, but I'm back :) I've been putting BFG KDWs on my front and rear for a while now, but I notice they wear a bit fast and are getting a little expensive - I don't need extreme performance, looking for something that will last a little longer and cost a little...

    Post pictures of your Radar Detector mounted!

    Post pictures of your Radar Detector mounted, or describe your setup... I'm about two seconds away from buying either an Escort X50 or V1, but want to see what options I have for mounting without needing to modify my car at all, and how it will look. Have at it, post your pretty pictures, or...

    Dyno Day?

    So, when's our next dyno day? I'd do it alone, but it's more fun with a group ;) Wanna see what the intake/exhaust has me at before I put the pulley/chip on! ~Berj

    UPR triple hook quadrant / firewall adjuster installed.

    Works like a charm! Before the install, with my stock quadrant, without adjustment, my clutch pedal was floppy and pretty far down, and wouldn't fully disengage the clutch unless i pushed it HARD into the floor. After adjusting it it was stiffer and higher up, but I needed to re-adjust it...

    Clutch/Shifter questions... having some problems, can't figure them out!

    Ok, so I have some questions for you all... It seems my clutch doesn't FULLY disengage until the pedal is *all* the way to the floor... I tested this by keeping the car level, fully depressing the pedal, giving it some gas (car didn't move at all)... then slowly lifting it up while revving to...

    Customer Service

    1) If you schedule an appointment for a certain time, do everything in your power to keep the appointment - especially if you know the other person is going way out of their way to meet you at said time. 2) If for some reason you can't keep the appointment, offer an explanation and keep the...

    Engine Braking... what's the final word?

    So - is it ok to Engine Brake, or not? Assume the downshifts are smooth (double clutching.) If it has a NEGATIVE effect on the engine, then it's not OK to do... trading engine internals for brake pads is no question - I'd rather replace the brakes. However, I've not only heard it's not bad...

    Subframe Connectors, Los Angeles area?

    For my previous car, I went to XTC way down in aliso viejo... $260 out the door for bare MM full length subs welded on + painted. *EDIT* I was happy with the job done, but it's an hour drive from here to there, so I was looking for a place closer to me *EDIT* I called B&D, they quoted me...

    The solution to all Mankind's problems...

    I look forward to the day when Asimov's vision in Foundation's Edge is realized, when the one-consciousness, Gaia, is awakened. When we share eachothers thoughts and feelings not because we think and act as one but because we ARE one, humans will have truly taken the "next evolutionary step."...

    Borla Stinger catback installed (w/ stock H pipe) - Impressions.

    I just got the Stinger installed on my car, with the stock H pipe. First, the looks. You've all seen them, 4" rolled angle-cut, beautiful =) The sound: At idle, just over 500 rpm, the car is EXTREMELY quiet. The first time I stopped at a light, I thought I stalled. At the 1000 rpm...

    Differences in power between stock Cobras... a theory.

    harry gilbert asked a very interesting question in this thread: Could the differences in power between various Cobras be caused by the TB blade not opening completely at WOT - could the gas pedal be hitting the floor before this happens? I remember someone suggesting "taking out the mat" at...

    WINDOWS - what do you use to wipe yours?

    Windex + cotton towel? + paper towel? Anyone have a good (and hopefully not too expensive) suggestion for a "wipes" type window cleaning product - one that has pre-moistened wipes in a box or something? Those things are convenient :) If not, what product is best to wipe windows with...

    Took off the Fatknob and MGW handle, kept just the Tri-Ax...

    Well, first of all, my MGW handle's busted =/ I need to call them up tomorrow and get it replaced or something - it's barely two months old, and I can no longer adjust the top piece. It's *extremely* difficult to rotate or pull out or push in, and it only goes a bit each way before it gets...
