What you will need: Ratchet with 8mm socket and an extension, Carb cleaner and Q-tips.
First, disconnect the battery (unless you are lazy like me and hate to reprogram your radio presets) then locate the IAC (circled in red) and disconnect the plug.
Remove the two 8mm bolts and be sure...
Well, I've been trouble shooting a problem with the truck, its been running rough at low rpms but feels great under boost. I've already cleaned the MAF so my next though is IAC. But after checking the How To threads :read:, the link for cleaning the IAC is dead :bash:. Does anyone have the link...
I've been the the Smoky Mountains many times in my life, but this was the first time I've been in fall. For most people this looks like nothing special, but keep in mind, I come from an area where the temps hardly change and neither do the leaves. Those of you in my situation may appreciate the...
My truck got broken into last night while I was at Hooters:fm:. For the local guys, heed this warning, I was out at bike night and inside Hooters on University and Hollywood Blvd for less than an hour when I got a call from another friend who was outside saying there is a cop and a crime scene...
I've been kicking around the idea of actually finishing my system, and after some motivation I decided to bite the bullet and finish this thing once and for all. Previously I had been rocking an un-covered box that looked and sounded like shit. But now I've finished my new box and it not only...
**UPDATE in 6th post**
This is going to be a long post, and I will try to explain things as accurately as possible. But for those who don't want to read the whole thing, there will be cliff notes at the end.
Last night me and my roommate went to separate parties to watch the Uf and OU...
I made a few passes at Palm Beach International Raceway this weekend, and all though I STILL am not in the 12's I had to settle for a 13.02:bash: with the mods in my sig.
I am running nitto drags set at 20psi. I have been told by many people not to do a John Force burnout, rather to just...
This may be a long shot, but I'm looking for any help here. My truck has developed a rattle which I'm almost certain is exhaust related.
The weird thing is it only does it sometimes and it only does it once the truck warms up. From what I can tell, the sound is isolated to the driver's side...
I finally had some time away from work, so what better than share some TLC.
For those who are not familiar, the Mustang is a 65 with a 351 cleveland and a few other things.
A buddy of mine (not this car) is really into 240's. He was showing me some vids and this happened to be one of them, Its a 240 running the factory KA (not a SR20) block and is supposedly making around 700rwhp with full interior. Not my type, but it definitely deserves respect.
Here's the vid...
As the title suggests, I was out with my friend today and came to a stop light on University just north of Griffin. A red RX-7, I believe 2nd gen ( Not the last gen RX-7) with black 01 cobra wheels came up beside us. I made the comment to my buddy about the wheels, and we would have said...
I got it back together (for the most part), still waiting to get the exhaust done, but other than that I'm pretty happy. I may lower the rear ~1" and see how it looks.
Enjoy:thumbsup:
Sorry for a lengthy one, but I need suggestions...
A few weeks ago some meth addicts moved in across the street from my parents, we assume they are renting a room in the house. This has been a known drug house in a very nice neighborhood for many years, in fact the ex-wife of the homeowner was...
Ok guys, here's my latest dilemma. One of my best friends knocked his girl up a couple months ago. At first he said he was just going to propose to her and they would remain engaged until after the baby was born.
Well, his Girl's old man must have pulled the shotgun out because they have...

After seeing this I can't help but imagine what it would look like with a nice shinny yellow boot on its wheel... Not to mention this was appropriate seeing as I just finished paying a parking ticket...
I was "perusing" the internet and came across this interesting and almost hilarious article. Enjoy if you will :beer:

Sorry for the newbish question, but the Nitto's are beyond bald and the fat man with the big white beard says I was a good boy, so I'm in the market for some new shoes.
I honestly have no complaints about the nittos, but I was wondering if anyone was running the BFG's. I've done a bit of...
Last night I decided to fill my truck up. Here in Fl, we have a possible tropical storm coming so I wanted to make sure I at least had a full tank fo gas (to last me like 4 days...) I went to a local sation, swipe my card, and grab the 93 handle. I put 16 gallons of "fuel" in my truck and drive...
Well tonight I was on my way home from dinner, details not important. I round the corner and conditions are favorable (no traffic) to do a little 1-2 w/o run, so I take it. With the tune I have and the LFP V.B. my truck usually sputters (more like "bounces" off the rev limiter) between first and...
It has been nearly 4 months since I dropped the car off, and even though there have been a few set backs and issues, all in all I am really happy with how it turned out so far.
Like the title says, I finally made it to Moroso Saturday. Running in the ProET class I made it to the third round of eliminations when I broke out :bash:.
Anyways, here are the times, let me know what you think
R/T-.343
60'-1.919
330-5.468
1/8-8.406
MPH-83.57

I'm going tomorrow to make some final decisions about the paint on my '65, I'm set on bright metallic silver with black metallic shelby stripes. But I can't decide if I want the new school or old school stripes. Here are a few pics I took of the car while it was still being blocked.
