    Braided Hoses and Vacuum Lines

    I buy my vaccuum lines from the dealer, as the sizes on our cars are metric and the lines from the dealer fit tight while the ones from a parts store need zip ties... My dealer doesn't rip me off, it's the same price (or they just give it to me)

    Milo's Booster Seat...

    everyone but the builder... THis is like going to a concert and watching the band come out on stage, and then they close the curtains...

    What are your pet peeves?

    People that let their dog piss and shit all over my store and don't clean it up. Same of if it's my yard, but at least then I can get even... People that come into a store as we're closing and beg as they need ONE THING, then turn around and take 30 minutes and get a cart load. People...

    2009 Corvette

    keep in mind all it takes VERY few mods to make the LS motors pure monsters... The stock corvette exhaust is fantastic, but the cam is still ground for a nice idle... replace it, reprogram ECU and they're quite a bit meaner... The LS motors are VERY well made, but have to be properly...

    Overclocking - Are you one of the loonies...

    My friend that has more money, builds computers for a living, and upgrades every couple months has had both... A well designed case with good airflow (not tons of fans, you need directional FLOW) with good heatsinks will be just as effective as water cooling (unless you cheat and use ice in...

    2008 Challenger

    don't like the back end, looks like the lower part of the car from the bumpers down was stretched to hide everything... I dunno, once I see it in person I'll know... Now the new Camaro I want...

    found this!

    one piece would be an EXTREME hassle to remove when you need to do any service... Not to mention it has tabs to screw the extra pipes down, but no tabs to actually screw the piping itself to the engine. Too much flex would be allowed IMHO...

    Check this coolant reservoir tank out...

    ditto... Price is a huge factor for me, and I can have one built to my specs from members of this forum for the same price...

    Overclocking - Are you one of the loonies...

    OMG IJ watercools? Still, ANY risk for the marginal benefits over air cooling is a dead deal in my book... I've seen swiftech air coolers cool as well as a liquid cooling system, if not better. Plus I like my stuff simple...

    2009 Corvette

    Which I think is funny since the corvette originally didn't have pop-ups... Isn't it mazerati that has a car that looks a hell of a lot like a corvette? TG did a review of that and bashed it for not offering more than the vette at nearly double it's price...

    2009 Corvette

    BINGO ^^ Like I said, in the states it's the best bang for the buck, in the rest of the world, no so much... Oh, and let's get something straight. Pushrods, OHC, ect is ALL old tech. About the newest design is the wankel, and even that is old... They all have their own issues, and GM...

    Overclocking - Are you one of the loonies...

    well, swiftech makes both watercooling and aircooling... personally, water cooling is retarded, it's only really moving the heated water someplace else that then need to be cooled. Then you have a fan cooling the radiator, it's still not silent and it only takes one leak to destroy hundreds...

    Manufacturer V6 vs L6

    Yep, the STi's are much better look IMHO... until the new ones that are coming out (WHAT THE FUCK WAS SUBARU THINKING?!?!?!?!) I like the Evo's as wel, but their warranty is VOID if you do ANYTHING to the car at all, unlike the STi/WRX where the dealer will install tons of parts for you...

    Overclocking - Are you one of the loonies...

    The swiftech is easy to clean and isn't nearly as fragile as a zalman... the LED's are easy to kill, cut the leads to em... Thermalright is built much like a zalman as well, so it's not gonna be any easier to clean IMHO. Also, am I the only one that HATES this stupid trend of 20lb...

    2009 Corvette

    Arial Atom would spank a corvette around a track, but on the straights it would lose... You're still comparing apples to oranges... Sooo... how about the shitty GT500 mustang that can't handle for shit?

    Manufacturer V6 vs L6

    anything can happen on the street... for a roll, both the Evo and STi aren't all that compared to a Supra, but from a standing start (and if the guy doesn't care about his clutch) you'lll be left there looking like an idiot... I have yet to race an STi (spanked quite a few modded WRX's...

    LF-A fastest time @ Nürburgring 7:24 of any production car ever

    ding ding ding! drop the tundra motor in something smaller and they'd have a winner... The HP wars are back on, and Toyota is only competing in the truck market and not anywhere else...

    Overclocking - Are you one of the loonies...

    the delta I have is a damn MONSTER if I turn it on in my hand the torque will nearly snap it out of my hand, but the damn thing ran EXTREMELY cool with it on there... maybe if I could get long enough cables to put the computer in another ROOM it wouldn't be so bad...
