    Finished my Meziere electric water pump install

    Yesterday, I installed my raptor shift light in the morning and then installed my electric water pump in the afternoon. Overall the install was pretty easy. I had to run to the hardware store in the middle of it to get some new allen wrenches to tighten the bolts that came with the kit. The...

    Under-hood switched 12 V source?

    I am wiring up the relay for my electric water pump. I need a ignition switched 12 V source under the hood. Anyone know of a switched 12 V source under the hood that I can tap into? Please post pics, or be as specific as possible. Thanks!

    FS: Bassani O/R X-pipe, 6k miles

    I am selling my stainless steel off-road (cat-less) Bassani X-pipe. It has about 6,000 miles of use. Never driven in the snow and rarely driven in the rain. I loved the sound of this with my SLP loudmouth II catback (with my IRS). Then I did a solid axle swap and installed a Flowmaster...

    Weighed my car at the track last week...

    3,648 lbs!!! That's with about a 1/8th of a tank of gas, me in the car and my spare, jack and tire iron in my garage (about 32 lbs). Without me, helmet, some misc. junk (183 lbs) the car is 3,465 by itself with 1/8th tank gas and no spare, jack or tire iron. So, that doesn't seem so...

    Went to the track today for test and tune and got a new personal best: 13.220 @ 104.87. Best part was the vast improvement in my 60 foot, I got a 1.90... :pepper: I wasn't even being all that harsh with the launch. With some lower tire pressure and some better burnouts to warm them up, I...

    Pics of my roll bar with Roll Bar Rapz

    Well, I finally "finished" my roll bar installation. This week I bought some padding from Jegs, and some Roll Bar Rapz from Summit Racing which are neoprene covers. It looks sooo much better and is sooo much safer in case I actually put somone in the back seat. It no longer has that skinny...

    OEM exhaust gasket question...

    What is the material of the OEM exhaust gaskets? Is it a metal base? Layered metal base? Reusable? The reason I ask is that I just got my long-tube headers and the gaskets that came with them are just regular cheap paper-based flexble gaskets. I only want to go through this once and don't...
