When I worked at Checker auto parts, they sold lugnuts that were not the decorative type, they have holes all the way through. HTH, Ryan

Here is where I put mine. And no the hoses are not being melted by the turbo. I heat shielded them. Ryan

Thats sweet, a fellow snowboarder. I took mine to sunrise ski area the first week I had it to play in the snow. The 4R has a torsen locking center diff and a bunch of other crazy 4wheeling features. It also tows 7K. But probably not as easily as that big beast of a V8 youve got. :naughty:

Wow that is an awesome idea. What did you use for the round flange? I have never had a problem with the prybar in the flywheel technique but that takes two people. I may just build something like that so I dont have to find a helper when I go to put the new pulley on. Thanks for the...

LOL, I say we hit up "pinks." Give me 5 cars and you got a race! I'll give you a call when they make a TRD blower for the 06's.

WOW 400HP! Thats awesome. Here are some pics of my new DD, not quite 400HP, more like 275. Its a 2006 and full time 4wheel drive similar to yours. and one of my little 50MPG DD Ryan

And thats whats crazy to me is that I know I got 200ft/lb on that thing as I am used to torquing 500ft/lb lugnuts all day at work. So i dont know how its coming loose. I have heard that that is a "yeild to torque" bolt if I remember correctly. What exactly does that mean? I am guessing it...

For the second time in a two years, my crank pulley has come loose, destroyed the woodruff key, and either streched the pulley inner surface or worn down the crank. The first time it came loose I replaced the pulley and torqued the bolt down as hard as possible with someone locking the...

Thanks a lot for the comments. The turbo is a standard garrett T04B .69 A/R hotside. It is mated to the stock manifold using the MAXX autoworks adapter. Im using a turbonetics 35mm wastegate and a blow through MAF setup. For the power steering, I am just using standard oil compatible...

Here is my before and after:

Hi, I had the Pacesetter header on my 87NA years ago. You are correct, the o2 sensor is relocated waaay down right before the second cat. In my opinion this is too far away for proper operation. I am not sure about your car, but my 87's o2 sensor was non heated, (only 1 wire. I think...

I had a belt incident witch resulted in the connecors of several sensors being ripped off and they are gone. I am trying to re-wire it the sensors, but I am not sure which wire goes to which sensor since the plugs are gone. Here is a picture to show you what I am talking about: I...

One time me and four other friends went out to the club, and once our designated driver got tired and wanted to leave, we go out and find some jackass with a cherokee completely parked us in. He was tired and pissed and decided to try the door. It opened, the alarm went off and he jumped in...

A guy I work with bought a Megasquirt ECU for his kit car project. I had a look at the unit and the first thing that I noticed is that the quality is just not there. It may be a lot cheaper than a haltec or a AEM, but it looks like some guys garage radio shack experiment to me. I cant say...

I have had my throttle body and ISC valve bypassed for two years now, no problems, no high idle either. I dont think the heat or water circulation has anything to do with the idle speed. Correct me if I am wrong. Ryan

That is just crazy. Looks to me like it hit more than just legs. See what kind of check youre going to get from the insurance people first. Then, if its significant, get the parts from a salvage yard or from people here who are parting out their cars. Then, with the extra cash you...

I think you may be right, it may just be "off the chart." I just cant imagine it being that freakin rich. They're only 550's, and I have the MAFT setup for stock 440's just to get it to lean out a bit. And you would think there would be some black smoke out the tailpipe, but who knows. Ill...

pull it out of the transmission, hook a cordless drill up to the cable and spin. See if the gauge moves. If not, broken cable. If so, something is goofy inside transmission. Hope this helps Ryan

I have installed a wideband o2 sensor in the downpipe right after the turbo. I have a custom turbo setup with an external wastegate opening to the atmosphere. My question is this: How much is it going to throw off the readings when that extra exhaust is dumped? Will it still read...
