    SILV07 - 100 RSVPs and still counting…

    Too true. But there were some fantastic ones also. As for the junkers...

    That was funny as hell.

    Advice wanted on a daily driver

    5.0 Mustang. I drove one daily, and I mean daily, for 4 years. That included winters in Denver.

    Two Hardtops Supras are going to heaven on saturday :(

    I think my next one will be a 5 speed hardtop. I will try to turn my GT into a sports car. Yeah, I just don't one from some of these SM members and their "what can I get rid of" threads either.

    What brand to get for a thermostat?

    How is it a decepticon can learn, yet normal people can not? Well done.

    Stupid question on Fuel tank capacity.

    Yes it is 18.5 capacity, but there is a fuel pump, and an expansion area. I filled it to 18.1 just to see once. The light comes on with 3 gallons left, well, when it is working right.

    i need some advise

    I was watching a show one night, and the host brought in a paper written by a public school teacher in the Denver Public Schools. The student correctly wrote "a lot", as in the opposite of "a little". The teacher circled "a" and "lot" and put a double arrow showing it should be one word. That...

    failed emissions....damn...

    Do you have any experience as an automotive technician, mechanic, or helper? Or have any diagnostic tools? My nitrogen meter said about 79%. Is that right?

    My First Dyno, The Bad, The Good. (dyno sheet, video)

    He could just have an intake leak. He is awfully rich, as noted. If that air is leaking out, isntead of finding its way to the combustion chamber, he will be rich like that, and hit fuel cut easier. But I am no expert on piggybacks, I can just comment on the way it is supposed to work from Toyota.

    failed emissions....damn...

    Does it show carbon dioxide and oxygen content also? Your numbers are pretty decent. Your combustion is just a little warm. You need to test a few things, such as EGR operation and ignition timing.

    Car shuts off when decellerating

    Did you pull codes yet? Look for 51. There is a couple of mechanical things you can look at also.

    Turbo intake cam in n/a - anyone tried?

    As you can see, that isn't what you said. Perhaps I didn't need the extra comment either. But to the point. Skip the GE cam. And get an adjustable cam gear, as I think it is a better choice.

    Perhaps you should ask Dr Jonez about tuning the VPC in the piggyback section.

    failed emissions....damn...

    First, you need to list the emission trace. That shows limits and what you tested at, in all areas. Then list your mods, such as your missing front cat. At least I think you might be. EGR delete?

    Is anybody really this stupid?

    I was in the junk mail folder to make sure nothing was weeded out that isn't junk. I hope none of you believe this shit, because apparently, many do. Or the fucking overseas buy a wife scam, where they need 8000, and then this gorgeous woman will come and marry you. Yeah right.

    Turbo intake cam in n/a - anyone tried?

    Are you making this up as you go? Because the 7MGE cam has lower lift, and less top end. The turbo itself holds back the top end charge on the 7MGTE.

    Smoke when ACIS valve opens?

    The smoke stays after 4200, all the way to redline? And at part throttle, or with your foot on the floor, all the same?

    Are there any Hunters on SM ?

    Firearm design is a long way from my expertise, so I will gladly take your word. But why did the Army move to 1:7 when the moved to the heavier M855 round? Becuase they are the Army? That is one twist in 11 inches if memory is correct.
