    'Bout time: some FL legislation

    Good luck with that. Prices of those are nuts lately. Used to be you could get them anywhere for 600 bucks, now everywhere I look it's 1200+. There are still some places with decent prices, but it's getting rare. Nagants work great if you just want to sling the 7.62x54R, plus you can pick those...

    'Bout time: some FL legislation

    Glad this bill got passed. http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/04/05/deadly.force.ap/index.html This quote sums it up if you don’t want to read the article: "I'm sorry, people, but if I'm attacked I shouldn't have a duty to retreat," said the bill's sponsor, state Rep. Dennis Baxley. "That's a...

    Ferrari Failed Emission

    3-4 gallons of (m)ethanol in a half full tank. Just about impossible to fail when you do that. Heh, I tried that method with 550s and swapped in a stock afm and fouled plugs just to see if it would pass (I didn't need to go any time soon). Yep, it passed.

    Interchangable parts?

    As everyone knows the MK3 is a fat pig that's slow as balls until it gets into boost. Steeper gears give much better acceleration on, and most importantly off boost. Day to day I could potentially hit 10+ stoplights just on my way to work. So we're talking over 100 light in a typical day. That’s...

    Home Depot Post

    I made an entire MK3 from home-depot. They can order iron ingots for you, same with aluminum. I used the raw to cast my block and cylinder head. Same with most of the suspension parts. Used sheet metal to form the body panels. I used a simple layout to melt sand into glass for the...

    Interchangable parts?

    4.30s make daily driving a million times better. It's an easy swap too.

    You guys interested in 1pc driveshafts

    Yep. It's all about the local shops. I was quoted 100 bucks for a 1 peice steel from a local place. Even at steel it only comes in at 14 pounds. Much better than stock.

    Hoodpins + Stupidity

    Be careful with those fucking aftermarket hoods and driving with your top off. This is what happens when you should have had hood pins but didn't have them installed yet. You can't tell from the picture, but the windshield is completely shattered. This one landed me in the ER. The hood...

    suspension question?

    I've got some Tein HRs. Those are some stiff bitches, 1200 600 I think. It's great for handling, but bumpy roads could drive you nuts. It all depends on what you could handle on a day to day basis. I suggest catching a ride in folks that have decent setups and see what you like for spring...

    Fixing to jump ship.

    Haha, talked to him again yesterday. Said I checked autotrader and it looked like I was really low balling myself. Asked for 7500 and he said yes. As long as he's still down on wednesday, this car is sold.

    Tail light covers going out?

    Got an email with a good tracking number today. So maybe this means they are finally starting to go out? Did anyone else get an email with a tracking number?

    Did a baseline dyno at Torque Freaks today.

    Dyno results on the 7M with gear changes were talked about on SF. DocJ posted the differences that he saw when he changed gears and that of someone else. Check corral, ls1, ls6, corvette forums for dyno difference changes.

    Did a baseline dyno at Torque Freaks today.

    Re-read what I said. 4.3s will give you less power than the 3.X series. The steeper the gear, the fewer splines it will have. The fewer splines, the more power is lost across the gap of the splines as the engery trasnfers from the one spline to the next across the ring & pinion gears in a...

    How can you tell the difference between...

    Compression test will give you the answer. A blown turbo (as long as that's all that is wrong) won't effect the test at all. Leaking valves will give you a low comp number.

    Aftermarket Sway bar endlinks

    They allow for custom tuning of front and rear anti-sway bar preload to suit specific track layouts. It also allows you to adjust for spring/shock tire changes. You pretty much always want the anti-rollbar to be completely parallel to ground when your suspension is loaded. The problem is if you...
