that's lame, you only beat a civic DX by half a car with 150 shot? and he had intake exaust blah blah blah which probably lowered his torque a bit....200 hp stock w/ nitrous barely beats a car that comes stock with like what...120hp?

CONGRATS!!! I really don't think destroying their hoses/properties would be very good. the cops just MIGHT know it was you. Not that they wouldn't care, I can't believe they let you take pictures! i'd be posting those pics ALLLL over the place where you live so that every time somebody sees them...

I don't know any of the people, and I got it. ending friends with benefits almost always ends in loss of the benefits AND the friend. unless you just strait up say "hey, I don't want to have sex anymore" or you can just go with..."hey, I had sex with this girl last night and when we were...

yeah, I retapped mine too, and I used wd-40, pb blaster, and some grease, there was nothing in the holes...I don't get it

so, I went to put the helicoils in my car, and on the FIRST ONE the damn little plastic tool broke 2 teeth off. What a piece of shit. So...I custom ground a bolt to do it with the same threads. I got 3 in that way, and then all of a sudden one catches, and tears the threads off my bolt...at this...

the hole in back was small enough for me to drill and re-tap for the helicoil. Then I ran into the problem of 'oh shit...I only have 6 studs' which really sucked. I managed to dig up 3 more from my old head (took about an hour to find) and 2 were stripped really bad where the nut goes on, but 1...

I am going to do all 7, the one stripped is the second from the back so it won't be AS hard, but I'm still gonna try to do all of them. It tightens down good but I don't know how good, and I don't know if the bolt is too long and hitting the back of the hole or what so I'm gonna have to measure...

I wasn't talking about your average car enthusiast's car being stolen and feeling like it was a child, NOTHING is even close to it being like your child got kidnapped, but if you have tons and tons of time and money into your car I can't think of somebody stealing anything of mine that would...

well...looks like I'm shopping for a helicoil kit today. I got everything off and I didn't find any cracks anwhere and any gaskets or turbo or exaust manifold. So I figured I'd just throw it all back together carefully and make sure everything is right using exaust manifold gasket spray on crap...

so, it puts like a type of 'nut' into the hole in the head and the bolt threads into that? I'm assuming that's how it works. I've gotta pull my turbo and exaust manifold tonight cuz I'm getting a leak somewhere back by the turbo and check for cracks, should I just helicoil it while it's out? I...

stick? what stick? glock 9mm...need I say more? Or my neighbors tek 9 with the 32 round mag and laser sights. Stealing a car that you have put time and money into would be like stealing somebody's child. Go up to any parent and ask them what they'd do if you took their kid and stripped it down...

sounds good! 5 days left and 2 days ago I managed to break something pretty good. I don't know if it's the turbine housing, the exaust manifold, the elbow, or the dp, or maybe a gasket in-between but I've only got a few days to find out. Taking work off tomorrow to pull the turbo and manifold...

billspreston01/ Bill / billspreston01 haha...simple enough right?

mine did the same thing and the engine was OUT of the car. The last inch or so just didn't want to go. The splines were all matched up and everything but the damn thing WOULDN'T budge. We finally got it on. No clue what was wrong though.

haha...that sux. My dad has always placed the motto "you get what you pay for" into my head, and I stick by it. The best is almost ALWAYS the most expensive.

I got mine for like $25us, that's probably about the same as jeff watson's too

My cars been running for a week now (89 turbo 5spd converted from auto w/ 104k on the engine) and today I went about 1 hour on the highway. On the way back it didn't seem like something was right, I could hear the turbo spooling really loud but the car didn't seem to be going anywhere, and the...

wow, I was wondering the same thing about the auto boost, I never knew the auto only put out 6psi. I did the 5spd swap and I'm only getting 6 lbs. how can I fix that? just shim the wastegate? or mbc? at idle and low rpm in any gear my gauge says -4 is that normal too?

bump

Ok, new questions, maybe somebody can help me with these instead of the old ones. The differential makes a lot of noise at low speed and while cornering and low speed it's even worse. It's a rapid ticking noise. Also, the tranny (r-154) whines at low rpm in all gears. I'm running mobil 1...
