    What to do with my situation?

    typical.... people usually check with the BBB and other consumer orgs after their money is long gone... Then they file a complaint that someone else will read after it is too late..... Buyer Beware!

    Anyone with knowledge about LCD HDTV?

    You are on the right track. At minimum, you need the 1080p to get the most from your PS3 and Blue Ray. Just keep looking.. I bought a 32" Westinghouse 1080p a few years a go for $375 off of Craigs list... It was for my son who was leaving for college.. In fact I use it now and it still works...

    steering rack slack

    Not sure how it happened. I still have the whole thing and will take a pic next time I go to storage. It must have been a hard hit, bottom out, or something.... The car had been in a couple of crashes....

    steering rack slack

    Get it up on a lift and check to make sure that all bolts that hold the K member and Rack are tight. Check closely and make sure that the K Member is not cracked where the rack bolts to it. I had one that was cracked and it gave the same sloppy indications. I wound up replacing the whole K...

    Spark Plug Analysis

    I was bored and just wondering how my plugs were looking since I have not checked them in a while. So I pulled out number one and this is what I found.. These plugs have been in the car since the build over a year a go, a blown turbo, and still seems to be peforming well. I have been...

    Max Boost vs AFR Question on 7M

    yes I should go aead and hook up the Data logger from the AEM WB. I was getting ready to order the Zeitronix for better analysis. But say I hook up the AEM and see low 10:1 AFR's boosting to 1.4 bar, verifying what the AEM guage is displaying. Would it be safe?

    In your experience, at what boost threshold would you estimate that the rings lands begin to fail?

    Max Boost vs AFR Question on 7M

    exactly... I feel safe at 18 or so. But the creep to 21+ gets me backing down pronto.... In the mean time I am either not going to run at high speeds in 4th and 5th or lower the MBC so it never goes above 18 at 4th and 5th gear pulls.

    Max Boost vs AFR Question on 7M

    I currently have my manual boost controller set to max out 1.3 bar while pulling hard between 2nd thru 4th gears. When I accelerate at higher cruising speeds the boost jumps up to 1.45, the warning light on my boost gauge goes off and I back off immediately. Boost creep? While I am in the...
