    making an exhaust

    hey guys, Got a bit of a break coming up when the car will be on jackstands, and I was going to look at the possibility of making an exhaust for the GE. So far, I've decided to run 2.5" aluminized pipe and powdercoat it after I finish. I'll either be using the stock cat or a high flow, but no...

    adjusting dampers - tein flex

    camber bolts seized

    hey all, just spent six hours cutting through the seized camber bolt on the right rear lateral link. it had rusted to the bushing i guess and would not move, even after soaking in pb blaster all night (had a pump constantly cycling a gallon up to it and trickling back down). i think the total...

    spring settling affecting alignment?

    Almost have my new suspension setup installed (ST sway bars, Energy control arm bushings and Tein Flex coils) and was wondering this: as the springs settle (I assume they would), will it affect my wheel alignment at all?

    front swaybar removal, link seized?

    I'm taking my control arms off and installing poly bushings and at the same time swapping sway bars. The passenger side came off fine but the drivers side link (where the 14mm nut goes over the allen head stud) is giving problems. The allen head is stripped beyond use. I've tried heat and pb...

    Spark Plug Analysis

    Here's pictures of cylinder 5 after 500 miles on 10k mi fresh engine. Cylinder 3 looked similar, but a lot less buildup. Ran 15 degrees advanced timing with 89 octane. I've returned it to 10 degrees at the moment. Looks like a ton of (carbon?) buildup and the insulator's chipped slightly...

    http://www.grizzlyindustrial.com/products/220V-Tig-Pulse-Welder/H8153 found this tig welder for around $500, so what's wrong with it? looks like it's DC so i assume it won't do aluminum, but what's the difference between a (regular?) and a pulse tig welder?

    modify 1pc driveshaft - auto to w58

    What are the differences between a w58 d/s and a a340e d/s? Are both spline count and length different? How would an a340 lightweight 1pc d/s be adapted to work with a w58/4.30 rear? Searched on here but all I found was talk about the frequency and vibrations of 1pc shafts.
