    How much is the average head rebuild....

    valves: 270 surface: 60 valve job, adjustment: 350 valve stem seals (don't remember) misc shims: $25 My head was in pretty good shape so it didn't need a lot of work (guides were within spec) and I already had ferrea springs/retainers that were all ok. I also had him heli-coil all the exhaust...

    why a free car fax could be your worst nightmare

    Reign- I understand completely. But on the other hand, the smart ones will know to search not ask (I'm sure a locked and alarmed supra won't be their first score - a bit more complicated that any other car without an alarm - locked or not). Call me a little paranoid, but with as many cars have...

    why a free car fax could be your worst nightmare

    Is there anyway we can have these types of threads removed, locked, deleted. hidden, etc? Because the answers are nothing but a 3 sec search away...

    anyone using zirgo fans???

    I ran Ford Contour dual fans and a SPAL PWM controller (varies fan speed based on temp - can control 1 or 2 fans). Was a good combo with the stock rad - but its a bit too thick with a Koyo. still debating what to use there. But for a fan controller, look into the SPAL. its ~$75 from speedway...

    Which coilovers should I get?

    That's cool. I personally don't think that bilstien's sleeves are a 'cheap' alternative (ever seen IJ's Koni set-up?). If I ever get tired of my Koni's, that is the direction I will be going. The benefit to the bilstiens is they are easy (and cheap) to have properly valved for your...

    Ways to cure 7M oiling issues

    Short of asking 'how much' you should be asking 'why' - If the goal of running extra oil in the pan is to keep the pickup submerged during extreme maneuvers (accel, decel, left and right) you could fill the whole pan up to the brim to do that. But the oil has to go somewhere (do you really...

    I might sell my soul for Prosport Peak and Hold gauges

    What? Rewire another LED? Why? Just build a relay system that swaps power from wire to wire (lights on/off) based on imput (KO or lights on).

    What do the instructions say? I would disconnect the dimmer (check and see if it is getting a signal with only the key on) and go from there...

    Springs and ride quality

    I've had a few set-ups (on this car and others) and here is what I can say: KYB anything: sucks balls. These are cheap gas shocks that worthy of a buick, not a sports car. They are inconsistent (shock to shock) and go soft when driven hard. If you are on a budget, save your money. Eibach...

    Good universal 3'' muffler?

    agreed Pete. I just thought it was funny how we were on opposite ends of the spectrum about the same products. Just re-enforces the need for the video section (or just adding to 935's sound clip page). On another note, I think the 'other' forum actually has something similar (for these same...

    I might sell my soul for Prosport Peak and Hold gauges

    I was just looking at PS site and just in reading their descriptions, they mention white for day, color for night. Do you have the dimmer wired up wrong - so the blue (dim) color is 'on' all the time? Don't recall if that was covered or not (didn't feel like re-reading the entire thread again).

    Good universal 3'' muffler?

    Its funny, but I'm on the exact opposite side of the fence. My car had a 40 series flowmaster on it when I bought it - it was the worst sounding muffler I think I have ever heard - raspy, tinny, just sucked(know a ton of people that have them on small blocks - but w/o enough horsepower they...
