    Who Makes What Tools. (Interesting Read)

    the milwaukee 18vs are badass. I work construction in the summer and use a drill every day. The old dewalt XRP's my company had lasted a year before they died/ stripped teeth or just sounded like crap. the milwaukees are expensive but man are they nice! balanced in your hand, smooth and...

    Is there such thing as a JDM Ball Bearing CT-26?

    MDC motorsports made a few with a ball bearing catridge at one point. from what I remember, they were unreliable. the housing and shaft is just not designed for it... VERY unlikely that this guy you talked to has one.

    Major oil and tranny leak... $$?

    where? are you sure it's tranny AND gear lube? often front and rear main seals will spray motor oil everywhere and give the illusion that the transmission is leaking (as it sprays everywhere) more investigation is needed. if you are having trouble finding it, rent a UV oil tracer kit from your...

    Mustang TB

    Ed from australia had one on his 7mge. I had talked to him on the phone about it. He said it made the motor ping (due to airflow not matching the stock tps maps during part throttle....but he didn't have a tuning device on the car so that may have been an issue. I know you have a maft-pro so...

    it's actually a tapered, friction fit.

    Timming screwy

    try moving the cps a tooth to the right or to the left. in my experience the tsrm directions just aren't good.

    My 7MGE Dyno

    they were pretty good actually. it was around 11.5 when I started. as I made adjustments to the cam gears power increased across the whole rev range and the AFR curve moved up to around 12.0:1. It was neat to see this happen as it confirmed the motor was being more efficient with the fuel it was...

    My 7MGE Dyno

    thanks, IJ. sounds even better coming from you! that's interesting about the acis. I didn't know that, I'll inspect the system the next chance I get.

    My 7MGE Dyno

    thanks guys! It always feels great to get compliments on the car, I really appreciate it. my goal was 180whp and I've definitely exceeded my expectations so far. I wanted to run 14s, and I should be able to run mid to low 14s now. I don't like drag racing (if I did, i'd have gone turbo) but I...

    My 7MGE Dyno

    excellent! he gave me some advice for the cam adjustments and showed me how to use the safc properly. he was invaluable. I should have paid him more, really. that acis certainly isn't a gimic. That early torque peak is very nice on the highway, right where my car cruises.

    My 7MGE Dyno

    Dunno if this should be in the 7MGE section, or racing section, but it's mostly pictures so here we go! 189.6Hp 199.7lbft of torque!!! needless to say I am happy. I have exceeded my expectations with this 7mge project. I went in with a peak hp of 178hp. 10 or so runs later and I had my peak...

    Unfair fines!

    take it to court for sure, it sounds like you've received an unnecessary ticket. My father is a recently retired ontario provincial police constable, I can assure you that cops aren't all dicks, but some (especially the younger guys) have a chip on their shoulder and something to prove, often...

    what is the best thing to use to seal my oilpan?

    +1 for this stuff. It's worth the extra money. the engine can go inter service immediatley and it has very strong adhesive properties. It is not easy to remove like RTV. It dries like a very dense rubber. Like Jdub, it's served me well too. do NOT use the cork gasket in any form in my...

    Tanya's wet dream..?

    mmmm silver 86 goodness, not many of those in canada. black 84 for me though. the non-ugly turn signals/front bumper and the token mk2 sunshade....plus black is the best. but then again, I am biased....
