    Ebay items that are not what sellers claim.

    Vane Airflow meter What is wrong with this picture? This problem has existed since the website went into operation. Ebay doesn't do it, but they don't have the correct content moderation.

    Timing belt noise from inside the car

    This is an older video I had on my computer. The sound is the belt bouncing off the cover. I put it on youtube just for a reference.

    Cold temps demonstrated on conventional oil

    This youtube video....just turn down the volume, lest you be inundated with nonsense. No surprise to see the video host surprised that it didn't go how they thought. Unless Mobil sponsored the video. The biggest "retard" comment is "Wal Mart oil". Wal Mart does not refine oil. Their self branded...

    2 shot burst AR15

    A couple of decades ago the word was a 2 shot burst would replace the 3 shot burst with an A4 rifle. It never came about, getting it to work right just didn't happen. And now it did. One working version is called the Echo Trigger from Fostech. It is pricey, but far less than a class 3...

    Why do all the dumbasses at Wal Mart talk the most?

    Seriously. Do I just beat the odds in the people that cross my path and want to talk about my car? Congratulations, St Peters Jungerman Wal-Mart. You hired at least one millennial buffoon. Remember the movie "Step Brothers" with Will Ferrel and John Reilley? Dale Doback says a bunch of stuff to...

    The technician shortage is getting worse

    I was looking at the Lexus dealer I worked at last summer. They are down to 6 techs and there might be 40 bays. I didn't count. Standard stuff, 20 on each side. I was there 2 months and 7 quit before me. So, ignore the ads you see for Wyotech and UTI, unless you really are interested. And then...

    TV show Tech Garage

    Be sure to ignore large portions of their "tech". As if there isn't enough problems in the automotive world, how in the hell is he an instructor of the year? 14.7:1 is not a description of volumetric efficiency, nor is it a desirable air to fuel ratio by weight of a supercharged engine. Good...

    Domain Name help

    I will be registering my name and it is available. The funny thing is the first choice is not. But my second choice which is just a variation is. And when I typed it (unavailable), there is no page only those assholes at godaddy who took it. So are there companies I should avoid? I was reading...

    My Christmas thread

    Merry Christmas. 1. The Lord Jesus Christ was born in late September. 2. He was conceived late December, very close to the 25th, depending on how fast Zacharias he could walk(30 miles) following his return on the 21st of June. 3. Christianity is not a changed life. It is an exchanged...

    Do you have the factory EWD?

    Why not? Besides the diagrams, there is circuit description for the EFI, so you have an idea on strategy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1990-Toyota-Supra-Electrical-EWD-Wiring-Shop-Manual-/160800815964?pt=Motors_Manuals_Literature&hash=item257079bb5c&vxp=mtr...

    Who changed their ring and pinion?

    Be it an actual matching gear set, or just the whole diff swapped. I want to know who went taller. Seems like his highness went with a 3.50 before the LSx. I don't remember any more. Anybody go really tall, (without the Getrag) like a 3.20-3.30? Did you like it, dislike, go back?

    The AR thead

    I can't think of why not. If you are young and coin is tight, save up. There is no better short range (300 meters and in) to get. If you think the direct impingement can foul the chamber, you are right. It can if you never clean it. If you want, a great many AR makers now offer a piston system...

    30 mpg

    Technically, I did 29.9 mpg at 75 or so. Get yourself an A340E and 3.73's today. And fix all your tuning issues you created by trimming the airflow signal. Well, you have to do it a little. Yes, 29.9 mpg. I wonder what it would do at 65 mph...

    Tires

    What are you using, what do you like, what did you not like? I haven't bought new tires of this kind in some time. The category is high performance, non all season. No track tires, I plan on driving them for several summers. I was thinking of this Bridgestone, but am worried if it can get 15k...

    2011 Mustang GT

    The chasis on last model year was by the far the best thing Ford ever did. Now they added that 412 hp 5.0 with variable cam timing. I want one real bad. But I also don't want to swing the 5 bills a month for it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydykiWKW6fE
