    Knock sensor output inquiry (SAFC or datalogging users may be useful here)

    Some of you know for a long time I've had mysterious power loss at op temps. While I had suspicions of my knock sensors, I never really thought to just monitor the knock reading on SAFC. I have been monitoring the output now for several weeks and this is what I've noticed. Please let me know a...

    Significant power loss once at OP-temp

Issue: Significant power loss once at op temp. Changes in conditions: I have significant power through temps...

    Mishimoto radiator redesign is in......FAILURE

    For those who have and have had Mishimoto radiators, the new design is finally in and in my possession :icon_bigg. Only took about a year and three months :aigo:.

    WWYD: Stick with RPS 3200 used or new OEM PP

    Clutch is slipping. Already ordered a replacement 6 puck from ACT, and locking down another flywheel. Question is, stick with the used (approx 30K 65-70% highway) RPS 3200 PP or go new OEM.

    Clutch life expectancy after intial slipping

    Yes, I know, its almost dead already if the clutch is slipping. Realistically though, what is a rough estimate mileage wise a clutch can last after intial signs of slipping. Im using an RPS3200 with sprung 6-puck. Right now it only slips in 4th or 5th gear at about 10psi. Typical driving...

    Its that time again... the next F&F, with a new feel it seems

    The GF sent this to me via FB. I had no idea the plot would be like this, and even less of an idea it would look so freaking awesome :evil2::evil2::evil2: Most of the FF movies have been cheesy in their own way but this one just looks sweet based on this trailer...

    Boiling coolant but temp gauges check out normal

    Basically what the title says. I've been having a lot of issues with the rad leaking, long story, but its now fixed. What I'm coming across now is boiling coolant. I'd say its mixed at least 35-40% coolant and the rest distilled. I can hear it boiling in the block and steam coming out the res...

    Chinabay HKS knockoff SSQV users...question (now with vid)

    Given the endless issues with the authentic HKS SSQV's and my refusal to do buy another, I decided to try a knock-off.

    PVD Coating, anyone know/ have experience with it? (read chrome wheel owners)

    If you own chrome wheels/parts I am suggesting you look into this process or at least be aware of its existence as i'm finding, chrome definitely doesn't last a lifetime or even close to, and its expensive to redo. Well if you are not aware of PVD coating, its a relatively new process that...

    MKII rad fit in MKIII?

    I need a TEMP fix for a blown mishi rad and may have an MKII rad available to me, just not sure if it fits right.

    Hallmark is now racist. Are you kidding me?

    :3d_frown::3d_frown::3d_frown: Video in link. Speaks for itself. Don't people have better things to do? NAACP just needs to go away, period. They're obviously desperate for attention. This nation would be a better place if all these race oriented groups just dismantled. They ruin things for...
