    EGR removal pro/con

    You are incorrect on both accounts, sort of. It does lower combustion temps. It does this by reintroducing spent inert gasses into the combustion process, displacing some oxygen.

    Ebay oil relocation kit.

    Even though I would tell the lay person to follow the automotive manufacturers recomendations, I have seen otherwise work very well. The Army has a program that actually works well.(besides combat) It is called AOAP for Army oil analysis program. And your oil is sampled and changed at...

    Stock Electric Fans

    They are supposed to come on when it is hot out and the A/C is on. If they turn on with out the A/C, the switch is closing electrically on its own.

    FelPro 9473PT MLS

    I put one on a Neon at an independent shop. Instructions said it will accomodate a rough surface. I followed the directive of clean the deck surfaces, put it together and ship it. It sealed and restarted. Don't know if it blew later. It did have a rubbery type of coating on it.

    What does the Skid control unit do?

    Hence, the name. Control the skid, not the traction. A skid is when the brakes are locked. You can not steer too well when the wheels are locked. I spy a 79-81 Celica Supra in front.

    protecting my investment

    If it is going to sit for a length of time, pull the circuit opening relay. This isn't for everyday driving, but the car will not start. Both sides, control and operational, are in series with needed components. As for the determined thief, they are also in a hurry. And good ones will show...
