    Help! Welded my rearend and now my car won't drive.

    So my limited slip has been going out for a while now. I was talking about it with some of my friends that have Jeeps. They told me instead of using a limited slip or buying a "locker" they just weld their gears and it does the same thing. So they gave me a quick how-to and I decided to tackle...

    Car has been sitting, runs funny now. video

    Haven't been on here for a while. Some of you may remember me. My stocker with 57k original has been sitting for quite a while. Decided to fire it up today and it runs really strange. It's very cold blooded, idles rough. Also sounds like my mufflers rusted off :( Any ideas? Let me know what you...

    Soo, anyone ever make their own LT midpipe?

    I just got a set of long tubes for my car and I don't feel like paying $160-200 for another x pipe when I just bought one for my shorties. Anyone ever try cutting down a midpipe for shorties and welding the flanges back on to be used with long tubes? I was going to throw the headers on today and...

    Finished painting the Busa.

    First off sorry for the ****ty cell phone pics. But it's all done. Not exactly perfect, but it's a 10 foot 10 which is good enough for me. Not bad for about $20 worth of spray paint. I think it looks pretty mean. Just can't wait to ride now!

    Who has one of them drag strip calculators?

    I saw people offering up the use of them. I'd just like to plug in some numbers for ****s. Let me know what you need.

    Finally went 8s on the Busa!!

    Went to Lebanon Valley yesterday for a track rental. Didn't get as many runs in as I would have liked but I did what I wanted to do. When we first got there a guy wadded up a Ford GT pretty good down at the finish line and we had to wait an hour for them to clean up. I got 6 runs in though. I...

    Wish me luck. Running the 8 sec Busa wed.

    So I've posted about this before, but the time has finally come to attempt to take it down the track. Not sure if anyone here is interested in bikes, but anyway. I work at a Harley dealership and the owner got a Suzuki Hayabusa drag bike traded in on a new Harley. He asked me to ride it for him...

    Finally made it to the track. Carnage pics.

    Well I decided it was time to get my stock roach to the track before I tear into it. I just wanted to know what it would run because it seemed pretty strong for a stocker. It's an '88 LX hatch and my complete list of mods is full exhaust, 3.55s and an MGW shifter. I mounted my buddy's well used...

    Figured I'd post pics of my junk

    Well I don't usually clean my car up real nice, and I've never really taken decent pictures of it. I actually gave it a good wash and me and my buddy (bentley429) hand glazed and waxed it. Then I threw his old drag radials on my 10 holes to get it to the track once before I take it apart. I...

    Took the car out for probably last time in stock form...

    We've been getting a lot of rain, so the roads are salt free. When I got out of work the sky opened up and the sun came out so I decided to take the Stang out for one last rip before it goes under the knife (see sig). Managed to find my last stocker race too and it was a satisfying one. I wasted...

    Photoshop please. Baddest looking fox ever.

    Could someone please photoshop the cowl hood off this car or at least make it smaller? This is the nastiest looking fox I've ever seen, and I just want a pic of it without the big fugly cowl hood. The big rear tires tucked like that + black beadlocks :drool: Btw does anyone have more pics of...

    Better than a raise...

    Well I finally got over to the other dealership to check out the drag bikes. Figured I'd update with a few pics if anyone's interested. It's not exactly my top choice of color, but it's fast so I don't care. I'm gonna see if he'll let me paint it black. I originally heard that the bike has a...

    My car isn't leaking. What is wrong??

    Ok, I recently rebuilt the tranny in my car, and everything operates good, but I've run into a little problem. I don't have any leaks. It's strange enough that the tranny isn't leaking, not even the tailshaft seal, but the rear main seal isn't leaking either, which is just mind boggling. I know...

    Did I get a good deal on this intake??

    Just bought this Systemax at a local swap meet. All brand new, Upper/Lower ($600), Edelbrock 70mm throttle body ($220), Edelbrock 70mm EGR spacer ($75), FMS 30lb injectors ($310), Nice chrome t-stat housing, aftermarket fuel rails (UPR?), the wiring harness and all the sensors and plugs for...

    Stock suspension, trying to fit 275/50s for this Sat. Quad shocks?

    I know this has probably been covered before, and I did some searching but couldn't find a very good answer to my question. I'm taking my car to the track this Saturday, kinda last minute, and I really don't want to run it on street tires. I might be able to borrow a set of 275/50/15 bfg DRs on...

    Got a new toy dirt bike fans. Pics. Other misc pics too.

    Well, here she is. No, that aint no 125, or 250 :D For those of you that don't know, it's a '91 CR500. It's a 500cc 2 stroke in the same chassis as a 125 or 250. It's bored .020" over, ported, shaved head, and FMF Gnarly pipe. They're advertised at 61hp stock, so figure about 70 now, with close...

    Rebuilding my T5 with APW gearset. Pics

    FINISHED PICS IN LAST POST. Well I finally got around to buying an Astro Perforance Warehouse gearset for my T5 after breaking 3rd a few months ago. I started digging into it yesterday. I'm not going to do a full story on how to rebuild a T5, I will just show some pics and compare the stock...

    Some pics of my Sat. Dez racing & The pike

    Had a pretty good day yesterday, got up early to go with my buddy (bentley429) to Dez Racing in Mass to dyno tune his car. I'll leave the results up to him when he makes his thread, with video :nice: But I just wanted to show the pics I took of other cool stuff that was there. Later we went to a...
