Quote, originally posted by dkim1 Â» i thought that was a very nice gesture from a store/shop.Sounds to me like he looked under your car and said to himself "Screw that. This car is going to be a PITA."The guy talked you out of spending money in his shop. There's only one reason he'd do th...

There was a guy who told me they make oil that's more stable than regular oil and doesn't break down until very high temperatures.I think he called it synthetic?Much easier to deal with than an oil cooler. Besides, I doubt you'll need an oil cooler.The International Lubricant Standardization and App...

I don't know if you were or not either. I guess since you don't know if you were, you weren't. So now we both know. Really though, he didn't even say anything had to be "street legal". Nitrous may be illegal in certain states, bu it's only illegal if you get caught.

Psychobroker,I was under the impression that the exhaust and CAI was still in the $1,000 budget.Quite frankly, I'd spend the money for a muffler that is flow rated. AFAIK, the only company to do that is Walker (Dynomax). Then I'd have pipes custom mandrel bent to fit my car.I don't believe Magnaflow...

Thanks for your suggestion, but I'm perfectly happy with it now. I'm old and gray and don't listen to loud music very much anymore anyway.

I have a 10" DVC Bazooka tube.I had an old Alpine 3527 (25 x 4, 70 x 2 bridged). laying around that I hooked to the factory radio via speaker level inputs.At first I had an old Bose home audio sub hooked to it and it sounded OK, but didn't have the low bass I was looking for. I found the Bazook...

AJ_'04 Vibe

My guess is by hooking up the factory speakers to the aftermarket HU, he may have flipped some of the wires around and the two doors are running out of phase.Or they simply could be out of phase with the sub. Was a crossover used for the sub? If so, and the factory speakers are supplying the only mi...

I know I don't post here often, but I thought some of you would like this.The Tesla.Designed by the same dude that did the Lotus Elipse, and it shows.From what I understand they'll start ~$88k though. Way out of my budget.

They need to fly him to Chicago. Seriously.I had the exact same thing happen to me, except it was from ~10 ft in the air, and there were no Milk Duds involved.I had a compound skull fracture with severe bleeding inside on my brain. The pressure was so high it moved my brain over enough to kill me. T...

So what if the baby's mom is "less attractive"?? Seriously..... one of the main things I've seen that contribute to someone being "attractive" is facial symmetry. It has little to do with things like high cheek bones, big noses, pointy chins, etc. It has to do with how everything...

My wife and I chose the song by Garth Brooks named "Feel my Love". And no... he's not talking about his 'junk'. The only place we were able to find it is on the soundtrack to the movie "Hope Floats".It's a very moving song.

I have a '92 Camaro RS that has 2 or 3 switched terminals ("Acc.") to connect things to. There are even a couple (maybe only 1) of "Batt" terminals to connect directly to the battery.

Anything you do to "trick" the engine into thinking the air it's injesting is cooler (which is what this thing does) is supposed to increase the air/fuel ratio (i.e. make it run richer).While this is hot rodders gospel (running rich, up to 12.7:1), EFI engines normally only run ~13.5:1 in ...

AJ_'04 Vibe

Cool. Thanks.As far as the RCA plugs, I meant jump into the wires before the amp. To me it would make sense that since there's a factory amp that the factory head unit would have low level output to the amp. Maybe not. That would make too much sense and make life too easy. Heaven forbid that happen....

I've done a few searches and have found quite a bit of info that helps a lot.

Shift less often. Start out in 1st gear, and instead of running the RPMs to 3,000 and shifting to 2nd gear, go to ~3,500-3,750 and go straight to 3rd. Do it again to 5th, skipping 4th.You've just eliminated two shifts. Just remember . . . you won't get a lot of acceleration by doing it this way, but...

Thank you. While I re-read it, I noticed that I forgot to mention something about the sway bar.While I said the right wheels going up causes the left side to go up also, the opposite ALSO happens.While the right wheels are trying to go up and using the sway bars to also lift the left wheels "up...

AJ_'04 Vibe

Just so some of you better understand why strut tower bars and sway bars are good, I'll try to explain it for ya'. We'll start with a Vibe that has neither...Picture yourself going ~50 mph through a long, wide left curve. As you may well know, a lot of the weight of the car is shifted to the outside...
