All was going well until about the fifth magazine, halfway through it I had a normal bang...then a second one...like a slam fire, only quicker. After examining the brass in there it became apparent that this...

    My setup is a 10" mtx 9500 with a RF 300x2 (450Watts RMS). So I've been playing with WinISD and I like a 3ft box with 24hz tuning. SO...does port size count as box sq. ft? It says 1 4" port at 16.5" length is 24 hz. I know I need a bigger vent so I dont get port noise. So, 2 vents it...

    Window trim refurbishing

    So I officially hate my moulding and Im determined to make it less of an eye sore. I tried painting it, but it was in vein as I didnt do the proper preperation. Even after the paint was just laid down you could see the difference in elevation where the old paint/coating was and wasn't. I...

    Is there a wrong way to install a clutch?

    I have a southbend 6 puch clutch and it feels lighter than stock and while I havent stressed its holding capabilities, it feels off. I know I installed the clutch springs on the correct side, but this was over a year ago so memory is faint. Shouldnt a clutch with 650+ tq capabilities be heavier...

    Loosing clutch fluid

    It seems once a month or so, very slowly, I find my clutch to unexpectedly engage very close to the floorboard and that my fluid reservoir is almost depleted. Is there anyway to test either slave or master or independent hoses? No fluid trail is evident. Also, I find I can push my clutch fork...

    leaky oil filter bracket. Alternate gasket?

    Since I needed my car on the road yesterday, and have a leak between the block and relocation bracket for the oil filter (turbo). Since the NA models don't use this bracket and just screw the filter on the stud, would it seems correct to assume an O-ring for an NA oil filter would match the one...

    Boiling coolant

    I know I need to go and do a block test and pressure test it to eliminate all possibilities. With that said, the car doesnt over heat, but If its driven over 30 miles, it will start to spit the boiling coolant into the birdcage. Temp sensor reads a line or two below horizontal. Aside from the...

    Resale prices

    What do you guys sell your used audio for? 85%? Do you go off of new or used prices? Or just off of whatever amount you need for that new supra part? I was thinking right about 85-90% what I paid for the stuff to begin with.

    I started to up the boost, to just under fuel cut, first with a boost controller and approximately 2mm of shims (mostly to load the spring). That didnt get me the results, so I placed a few more washers in there, approx. 5-6mm of shim. It worked, While even with the manual boost controller...

    Guage reads normal. Engine feels warm.

    The guage reads normal (about 3 notches below horizontal), but the engine is really warm. Everything in the engine bay becomes to hot to touch, not just warm. I just finished a rebuild on the motor and I set the timing, and then discovered a code 51 (TPS). I fixed that and went to reset the...
