    I HATE AUTOMATICS!!

    "NC, you're missing the fact that if you put the selector in D, you aren't in 3rd. Go slow enough, and it'll down shift to 2nd, and 1st. What if I WANT 3rd at 1000rpm, so I can load the engine at that point? An automatic, without any modification, can not do that." like all my posts say...

    I HATE AUTOMATICS!!

    "How does it multiply torque exactly, hmm? Oh, by slipping like hell... which increases the heat in the ATF." actuall its the way the fins are designed in the torque converter, to move the car it uses pressurised fluid that is pushed from the engine side fin to the tranny side fin, that...

    code 14 ... haha :(

    check the CPS connector, mine was getting a bad connecting and sometimes it would just not start or it would stumble and stall. if it wont start pop the hod andwithout touching anything else tap on the CPS harness connector and see if itll start. i just cut the connector and soldered the wires...

    I HATE AUTOMATICS!!

    im aware of that, and i didnt say they were slower, but a stock auto is alot less fun then one with the 2 dollars in accumulator mods. didnt u see im defending the auto?? lol and thats because everyone wants a 5 speed for the fun factor. a stock r154 CAN gold more then a stock a340, ur...

    I HATE AUTOMATICS!!

    i still fail to see an argument on this when they shift faster, and u can still select the gears as u could on a manual, only thing terribly diffrent is no clutch so i guess if i took my manual car to an autocross track and u took ur manual car to an autocross track and i made same time or...

    I HATE AUTOMATICS!!

    i hate when ppl say autos suck at autocross because it upshifts as soon as u let off or upshifts too soon, there is a lever on the floor called a shifter, and below "D" theres "2" and "L" and u can hold it in a gear as long as u want. and u can turn off overdrive to keep it in third. the only...

    DIY Fuel Cut defender

    no they use map sensors, at least thats what it says on the site. the way they do it, it doesnt remove it, it just moves it up. it wont work the way they described on our cars. since they have map sensors the computer actually sees every psi of boost. since it actually shows the computer boost...

    DIY Fuel Cut defender

    i dont beleive so becasuse thos cars use a speed density system with a map sensor, all the fcd does is lower the voltage from teh map sensor showing the computer less voltage, in our case we would need to clamp or lower the frequency from the afm. but it does make me wonder if theres a easy way...

    Thinking about investing in some tools.

    MAC FTW, best pricing and very nice tools. matco is way over priced, and snap on is the middle but still too expensive. mac is the best way to go if u dont want craftsman or the equivelent of that.

    Vacuum VS Rpm

    thats not entirely right either, the question was 3k to 4krpm, it woudl be more like 10 x 10 or 13.3 x 10 but it would be more diffrent becasue of the lad diffrence, more load more fuel so itwould really be more like 10 x 15 or 13.3 x 10 witch shows that the less load, higher rpm would have...

    Vacuum VS Rpm

    so if ur lugging the motor at 2000rpm and say the injector duration is 20ms and 5 inhg of vaccum, then u downshift and get the motor to 3000rpm much higher in the engines torque curve and are cruising with 15inhg of vaccum but the pulsewith is 5ms ud be running more fuel efficient at the lower...
