Hi folks,
I've got a weird sound that appeared last night..
I was driving with the radio off and the windows down, and heard a light ticking, or rattling sound (Sounds like the sound a sprinkler makes when returning). I thought it was the truck next to me, so I gave it some more gas...
So lately we've had a pretty good group of guys to ride around with, and we had an opportunity to have a little go with one another the other day.
My cars #s are in my signature..

Full exhaust, Race gas tune, 2.9L Whipple.. He doesn't know the power, as he had it tuned on the...
Its been super hot and humid here the last few days, and I was driving the cobra home from work, and about 20mins into driving, I notice my steering wheel is feeling a little different.. 5 mins later, there is easily 2 inches of play on center before you can feel the wheels moving, when they...
I've already got my Slot MAF sitting on my shelf. The problem is, looking at what others are running, I need a 3.5" slot housing. Everywhere I look I see housings and MAFs for sale as a package, but I only need the housing. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a blow-through...
So in an effort to keep costs down, I attempted to use my stock MAF, with my MAFia extender... The problem we are facing is two fold. 1. The flange where the MAF housing meets the piping is leaking, causing weird AFR movement (duh), and the boost to fluctuate (also Duh). The other...
Mechanically complete. Got the tuner sorted out and they are busy making power.
They got it figured out. Tuning is still in progress.
First pass after idle and driveability were sorted out, 7#s, ended at 5000 rpm, pig rich, and super conservative timing netted out 440 whp.
Boost...
Hey all, my local tuner that did my tune with my Whipple is not interested in tuning my TT, return style fuel system set up. Which has put me in a bit of a bind, since mechanically my car is done, but is waiting on tuning now. What are my options for tuners that know their turbo, and return...
So after much research, and humming and hawwing. What started out as a bent header causing the mid pipe to leak is resulting in a Twin Turbo build.
So I am going with the Hellion Twin kit, with the standard 61mm turbos with cast wheel. I think this should do me just fine, but it'll be...
The Hellion single kit lists relocating alternator, and coolant cross over etc. as requirements for the single kit. No mention of that at all in the twin kit. So does the twin kit route things differently that prevents that as a requirement, or will the alternator still need to be...
What is everyone using for their throttle cables? Cables are discontinued, and ebay prices are crazy expensive. Has anyone had success with other cables and brackets?
Open to offers, low ballers will be mocked accordingly

Second owner, and have owned the car since August of 2005, where I picked it up with only 4K KMs (2.5K Miles)
This car is my summer daily driver, and runs flawlessly...
Some folks have doubted the effectiveness of Meth to boost octane spraying pre-blower. We here are the results.
First, we know spraying pre-blower basically negates the "cooling" effect of meth injection on IAT2s. It does how ever substantially cool the blower itself. I have girly soft...
I am about to get into my KC install since I have the bumper cover off already for my meth install. I have a question about mounting the KC HE assembly. I get making a spot for it in the crash foam. But how does the foam actually support the weight of the HE? Since the Gen IIIs have...
.. I hate you.
We'll we started the meth install tonight. I know I did NOT want to install the tank and the pump in the trunk. I wanted it as tucked away as possible.
Well there is NO way to do that with the reservoir provided, you absolutely must use the washer tank. There is very...
Completely utterly awesome.. I am so pissed I didn't do this earlier. Feels like a whole new car, the ass end feels so secure and planted now.
Bruce was super easy to deal with and rushed me my bushings next day when I needed them. Over all FAN FREAKING TASTIC.
Beg, borrow, steal...
Hey all, had a call from a buddy tonight he just got his Steig ported blower on the car like a week ago, and tonight he gave it a little punch in 2nd gear and bumped off the rev-limiter and the car completely shut down.
Threw a FPRS code, and a misfire code. The blow by that he described was...
Hey all, I'm almost complete with the LT install on my car, however I failboated when I ordered the LTs and forgot to get O2 extenders. I have rear O2 harness extenders from when I did my original x-pipe many moons ago. Rather than having to wait until Friday to get new extenders, can I...
Getting some stuff done, the Jeep is seeing some action lately..
#1 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart w/Tune making 20 something #s.
Race #1 60 (40 for my US friends) - 190 km/h (120 for my US friends)
Lancer gets the hit because the Jeeps transmission is acting weird.. Anyhow he jumps out...
Usually on the interwebs all we hear about is how the police are all <insert disparaging name here>. It seems that the stories of an officer being a nice guy are few and far between. This isn't an earth shattering story, or really all that interesting maybe, but I figured I'd post it...
Don't worry, I've searched, and I understand why my FRPS may die with my PPRV delete... HOWEVER..
It doesn't appear to be the diaphragm that is bursting (no fuel in vac line), so Jimmy's suggestion is that the electronics in the sensor have died.
Strange thing is.. I blew my first FRPS last...
There I am driving home from work on a nice sunny day, just gassed up the Cobra after a mostly crappy day. I'm booting along a mostly residential area, and this older dude comes zipping up on me, change lanes and down shifts beside me, and continues to blurp the throttle beside me.
Now this...
Well, it seems that every older gentleman in either a new Camaro SS, or Challenger seems to want to street race all over the place. Sunday nights are our "cruise night" in town, as such its pretty heat bag all over the place. I was enjoying a nice evening cruising around with the wife, and...
