    Spare tire well subwoofer box

    So my old sub box had a lot of issues. It had absorbed a bunch of water that leaked into the hatch and was full of mould. This was even more gross than it sounds. It looked like food that was left outside in the heat for 2 weeks inside this box. Sure that was good for my health. So, I...

    Car cranks but won't fire - SOLVED

    So I have been diagnosing this for a while. The car will crank fine with no issues now but it will not try and start. This is what I have tried thus far. -pulled the plugs. They were completely black and I thought they smelled like fuel. It may have just been the carbon or a bit of oil in the...

    Fuel Pressure VSV

    I'm talking about the VSV under the intake manifold that, according to jetjock, "vents the fuel pressure regulator for about 2 minutes after a start when the coolant is hot. That increases fuel pressure and helps to clear vapor that has formed in the fuel rail during heat soaking when the engine...

As soon as the connections were made, the fuel pump relay starting making a loud noise like it was vibrating. What could cause this? In the past 6 months everything in...

    Wiring question

    I need to steal power from the dimmer switch location for a gauge on my A pillar. What wire would I tap onto for a switched 12 volt source and a good ground? Couldn't find what I needed on the TEWD but that's likely because I am not too familiar with it. This is for an 88 if that makes a...

    Best location for water temp probe

    So I am looking to install my temp probe for an Autometer coolant temp gauge. The probe came with an adapter fitting that fits the empty spot on my water neck.

    Coolant overflow relocation

    So I am standing in front of my car, ovreflow in hand and I notice that there is no room for it anymore due to my FMIC. So I pose the question, what did everybody else do? My options are to relocate the stock tank or buy a smaller/better shaped aftermarket and mount it somewhere. Just trying...

    When are custom fuel lines required?

    So I am gearing up for my engine/tranny/tubo install and the subject of fuel has come to my attention. I still have the stock fuel lines in my car but I know that many higher powered cars are running upgraded single or even dual lines. I want to know when it becomes necessary to upgrade the fuel...

    Fall colour time...pics

    So as I drove my girlfriend to work this morning I saw a good deal of trees with some half decent colour. Thought some pics would be in order. I didn't really have time to wash the car but I don't think it shows too badly in these shots.

    Starter problem

    So I finally got my car running properly again a few weeks ago. Today I went to a friends house and when I was leaving the car wouldn't start. Pushed clutch in, turn key, all I heard was a very rapid clicking. Not sure if this was the solenoid popping or if it was the gear on the starter not...

    345's? I think they may be too big...

    So these are the tires we ordered for my Uncles Vette. They are 345 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup PS2's. Holy shit they are gigantic. I think it would take a little massaging to make them fit. lol
