    What is the worst beater you ever had

    It's my current beater. 1988 Honda CRX VX civic engine swap / HF crx trans swap I did the engine and trans and they're flawless for their intended purpose. The car gets 44 mpg driving it hard, 53 driving it easy. No A/C. No heat. No radio. The previous owner installed ebay coilovers that are...

    Launch control vs traction control off

    Has anyone done back to back runs on the strip with launch control and without traction control on? I'm going to the drag strip next Friday to hang out but I might run my 15 GT if it's not too busy. I'm still on the stock tires (235s) and I expect traction to be my biggest enemy. I'm...

    Need some machine shop advice!

    I'm working on a project for my truck. I need a custom intake plenum made, but I've requested a few of the local machine shops to give me a quote. I keep getting no-quotes on the job, or they're willing to make partial components. I need some advice on if what I'm asking for is doable, or if...

    Cobra wont stay running

    My cobra is giving me a fit. It's had trouble starting in cold weather before, but not like this. I crank and it will start, and immediately die. Sometimes it will start and try to idle for a few seconds and slowly die. If you give it any throttle, it dies even quicker. Is there any good...

    Datalogging while cranking

    I'm ready to start troubleshooting my 04 F150. I swapped from the 5.4 3v to a 5.4 4v out of an 04 Navigator. The 3v has 2 camshaft sensors, and the 4v of course only has one. I'm not entirely sure how to handle this issue yet. I took a datalog of me trying to crank the truck (less than 10...

    04 F150 5.4 4v Swap

    I'm in the process of swapping a navigator motor into my 04 F150. I've sorted out almost all the snags, but one that is troubling me is how little room there is on the passenger side of the motor. So little room in fact, that I am unable to bolt the A/C compressor to the engine because it hits...
