i don't know about you guys, but i've never heard of an ignitor going bad. To my understanding of my time here at supramania, they are pretty much bullet proof. There's a first for everything i guess though? I personally would look elsewhere, like the coil packs.

yeah, i didn't know it was a chain till later. Someone i know at my school told me about it, i thought it was local to pitt. still, anyone ever see their work?

Wrong. ;) I know quite a few reliable people who have passed smog tests w/o the EGR with a 7m. They just threw on the stock cat system to pass. I plan on doing this myself as well since my EGR took a crapper awhile ago. Edit: FTR, This is PA emissions, which is no joke compared to...

I don't really know how you intended this, but this actually could be a GOOD thing for a lot of people.

To clarify, whole car as in exterior only! I'm not stripping the entire thing, i don't have time for that. ---------------------------------------------------------------- With whatever car I get, It will need to be painted so i need to get ideas of where to take it. I need to keep the paint...

whole kit.

one, was this VHT paint? Two, how did you prep the surface of the manifold? Three, was this a clear coat or one of the colors they have? Four, are you sure is was a "flameproof" series

Figgie is correct on this one. Tach on one more person on the boat. Polarity DOES NOT matter. My RC's all i did was make sure they had the right combination of wires going to the right injectors, they worked 100%.

i always do third on a long straight, flat back road that you can see for awhile. 2nd i didn't have enough traction, plus in third you can start from a slow roll and build boost more steadily at lower RPMs unlike 1st or 2nd.

Yes and no. Its a factor of clamping force and contact area along with coefficient of friction factors between the two material. Why do you think they make x-puck disks? Smaller surface area for more concentrated holding power

bad rings aren't a sign of bad a/f......melted pistons are though. On a more stock motor though this isn't an issue, so i'm stickin with rennat on this and just saying VERY worn rings

as long as its built correctly, the motor is reliable for way more than that.

like they said, compression check, could be bad rings

im kind of confused, TLO86, does your car have lowering springs on it as well? or are they bilsteins with stock springs??? If its stock springs, what would happen if you put stiffer, lowering springs on them?

*2. Im in the market for a new suspension ASAP!

lmao :biglaugh:, any rebuttal Jdub?

hahahahha so true :biglaugh:

Looking for where i read that at.... Edit: Straight off of Jegs website, along with several others.

LOL, corrected. I get you two mixed up sometimes at a quick glance from the J's and the red names

Thanks for the explanation Jdub, but i'm completely aware of how and why shot peening works. Again, i simply did not and do not know the difference in materials used on stock rods vs. aftermarket and how they are cast/forged (whichever applies). I guess logic should have answered my own...
