    What is this white stuff on my turbo (hot side) w/ pics

    The stock system has 2 cats, a pre cat and the normal cat.. If either of these gets restricted the heat will not be able to get out fast enough and you can sometimes tell by that color that it has been hot... It is hard to tell from a picture..So I am not saying the cats are plugged up, just...

    Tribute to F1 Drivers

    Ya,,, those guys were all nuts...If you ever see Sierra's Grand prix "legends" for the PC (you need a wheel and foot pedals), grab it. It is a steep learning curve but enjoyable once you get 2 laps in to let the tires warm up so you have some control... I remember hearing somewhere that it...

    FCD installation

    Playing devils advocate here, Does the Maftpro eliminate FC all together/raise fuel cut or does it add more fuel so that fuel cut is not tripped? Does the Maftpro need bigger injectors or can it work effectivly in his situation with the stock 440 injector size?

    flush mount headlight conversion...pics inside

    That is funny SC, To criticize means to make a judgment as to the merit, effectiveness, utility or correctness of the object in question. Discuss the limitations as well as the good points of the subject. BTW.. Looks like a very clean install..

    Messages in water?

    I am skeptical of the science methods used for the water crystal experiments, There are a lot of variable that they may not realize they are doing when taking the pictures. Probably just a bunch of hippie loving crystal crap.. LMAO But if it is real I think it is a pretty cool discovery.
