    Acid dipped vs. "shake n' bake"...?

    I was thinking of getting my block dipped before installing the guts. But, as I make phone calls to get a quote, etc..., this place called WaterHouse Motors said they don't do dipping, but they will oven bake and blast the block so it'll come out looking like new. Anybody got theirs baked...

    Has it happened to anyone before? I accidentally caused a short in my cig lighter and made the clock go out, on my '89. Checked all the fuses in driver's fuse box, replace the CIG fuse and the clock turned back on. HOWEVER, I noticed that my dash lights (and heater accessory lights, other...

    Hard to decide, need inputs: turbo elbow, DDP, or cooleeze?

    I currently have a full 3" exhaust, with a no-name low budget dp. Although bought from ebay, but it has served me well. Gettin' my '89 this week and I'm already in the process of stripping all the aftermarket parts from my current '88 to swap it to the '89. Here's the skinny: I plan on...

    Searched all 16 pages in here, and 15 pages in the General Discussions, still haven't found. Installed the 550c injectors and Lexus AFM today (took my time with them). When I turned on the engine it struggles to stay on, the RPM needle would fluctuate, then engine dies. The only way for me to...
