    Targa Top Tool

    i had a crazy idea one time about to make the unlocking of the targa top automatic...too much effort for a project?--sure it would be, but a fun challenge maybe. Take 4 small motors and find a way to attach them to the targa top so that when you hit a button, they all 4 unscrew at the same time...

    7mge headers

    the little bit i can contribute...i've had the powder coated pacesetter headers for about 5 years. They are a little lighter than stock manifold and sure they sound nice, but they do get pretty hot. (yeah, i know its exhaust..lol) but i put a laser temp gauge on them at multiple...

    Autocross?

    I've done auto cross in my NA. What i've found, an NA is slightly under-powered for its weight. That being said, its about control more than speed. A good suspension setup and some good tires are key and it can be loads of fun. I've done coilovers, subframe solid inserts, ST sway bars...

    Dances with Smurfs...

    i have to agree with SHAEFF, it was fun to watch and had a plot. Everybody will take away what they want from a movie. We could all get lost in the meanings and undertones, but sometimes a movie should be watched because its just fun. On another note, Avatar incorporated some new film-making...

    touching light bulbs will ruin them?

    I work in the film and television field. When it comes to bulbs, its kind of a big deal to be aware of how you handle them. use golves, wipe them clean. basically, you just want them to be oil free and clean before you fire them up. Im just speaking from experience. im not a bulb engineer, but...

    door handle LED

    well, it was pretty basic actually. if u are able to click on the attached pic and it gets bigger, u might be able to see the numbers on the packaging. the LED was a square one for the door handle. i think it was a "typical" 20 mA LED. then the ignition ring was also a "typical" white LED. The...

    new to cars

    i'll say it nicely now before you get bashed about this, but search the forums and you'll find almost everything you need to know. :) When you say "header", i think you may mean "head" as in cylinder head. ...and yes, sometimes the head gasket (the gasket between the engine block and the...
