I am currently traveling in Romania for work and while the country is beautiful and there is a lot to do, I find my experience plagued by the constant reminder of how bad dogs are treated here. There were two puppies near my work that were on deaths death's door when I arrived. I ended up...

Two questions. I swapped my input shaft today for the D&D shaft. Before I swapped it I measured the endplay at .005 to .006, the specs call for .002 to .005. I did the job but didn't purchase shims because I figured I would order them when needed/if needed. End play is coming out to be just...

I'm just wonder what pulley I need to run a TVS 2.3L at 700hp+. I was thinking I would go as far as I could with upper only, and hope to get close to 700, but I'm thinking about throwing a lower on to land me in the 700's and avoid belt slip. I'm somewhat sketchy about the lower because of the...

A couple years back I started a thread to get some ideas on a build... long story short I put the build off and bought a Viper. Well, here I am again. I picked up a TVS 2.3 yesterday.. so blower choice is out of the way. I am looking to make around 600 on pump and around 700 on e85. Which is...

I have never changed a clutch so forgive the basic question here, but do I need to replace the flywheel when I replace the clutch? I know the stock flywheel has an steel insert on it that can be replaced, or the flywheel can be replaced... if that is needed. Does the flywheel get replaced or...

So a bit back I planned to do a build on my Cobra... after getting the shopping list together I had some second thoughts and ended up buying a Viper instead. Well... its been 2 years and I want to spend some money on the Cobra again. So I am thinking of either putting a Whipple 2.9 with a fuel...

I know we must have some real golden stories about people who tried to race you when you weren't racing, so lets hear some! I thought of this when I was reading the other "things that make you say "what?"" post. I'll get us started! I was driving my slow Fiesta one day and this low rider old...

For those who have installed security camera systems, or that have knowledge of them... How is the install typically wired/powered? If I get "wireless" camera and install them both inside and outside of my home, I will need to run power to each camera. Is this something that can be done with a...

I have been chasing a noise in my car and can't seem to figure it out. I think it is my rotors though... has anyone else experiences a noise with cross drilled rotors? It sounds like a spoke on a 10 speed bicycle when you coast and it makes a constant tic-tic-tic-tic, but faster and more subtle...
