    E-Fan Relay Question

    So my battery keeps dieing. I have my relays wired permanently on (now that I think about it, thats pointless to have the relays wired like that) and my battery is draining in less than 12 hours. Id assume that just those 2 30A relays are pulling enough current to drain the battery pretty quick...

    Brake Linkage. Pedal goes to the floor

    So I recently replaced my MC and Brake booster. Car stops a little better, but the linkage is all out of whack. The car doesnt even start stopping until the pedal is almost to the floor. I messed with the little pin coming out of the booster a little bit, but im not sure if thats the proper way...

    My S197 Rental Car Impressions

    So me and my GF visited Hawaii last week, it was a great trip. We had the option of upgrading our rental car from an econobox to a S197 V6 Drop Top. I figured what the hell and spent the extra 60 bucks. Like everyone says, they are a way more "refined" car, decent to cruise in and ride...

    Did the dreaded Brake Booster yesterday...

    All in all, it wasnt that bad! Took me about 1 1/2 hours without even removing the drivers seat. The thing that made it all so easy was the wrench setup I used to reach the top bolts. The wrench was set like this. 3/8 Deep Socket -> 12" Extension -> Twirly coupler thing -> 12" Extension ->...

    How to tell if I have a shift kit or a Valve Body

    In 1, the car holds first gear. In D, the car holds second gear. If started from a dead stop in D, the car will shift from first to second, but hold second. In OD the car drives like normal and under WOT will hold third. This is all on the stock shifter. The car shifts pretty dang hard...

    Typhoon intake too much for GT40 heads?

    I bought a cleaned up Typhoon from someone on Corral and I found some GT40s on craigslist. Is this gonna be too much intake for a street car? I also found a pretty good deal on some Performer RPMs, but id rather go with the GT40s since they are only 250 for the pair. My setup would basically...

    Correct way to remove struts?

    I recently replaced my blown rear shocks and now I need to do the struts. Last time I tried to mess with my struts I couldnt get them out, the large bolts that hold in the strut at the bottom wouldnt come out without removing the brake line. I dont believe thats supposed to be needed. What...

    Vaccum Sources under the dash.

    Welp, it certainly sounds like I have a vaccum leak under the dash. If I remember correctly the only vaccum sources under there are the brakes and cruise control. I can hear the leak increasing as I push down on the brakes, but it could just be something rubbing on something else via the...

    How to stop rearend from shifting on bumps

    Well, I took the LX out on a decent roadtrip yesterday, some of the freeways were pretty dang shoddy and the cars rearend was bouncing all over the place. My girlfriend was getting all scared thinking the car was going to bounce into the other lane. I simply told her "its a pony car, these...

    Finally some pics of my new LX

    I literally stole this thing for 3500 dollars. It has a really nice system in it. Viper Alarm, 17" Cobras, New Tires, Spintech Sportsmans, etc. Best thing of all though is that the underside of the car looks like it had never seen the street and the engine is completely stock other than a 3G...

    Gonna go look at this Mustang today, what bad things to look for?

    http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/car/594112066.html The minor oil leak could be a blown rear seal, right? What other things could be bad? I know about the alternators going out and everything. I believe its a MAF car since its from CA, the guy I talked to is a college student and sounds like...

    Searching for parts and found this...

    http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/car/586009463.html This would be a helluva lot cheaper than building up my bucket... I emailed the guy. Even if I threw in a new shortblock I could come out ahead.

    Rotten egg smell under slight accel

    So, what do you guys think it is? I just smogged the car, its really clean under cruise and slight acceleration. Im thinking it could be coolant, but its a very strange smell. Maybe the rust in the cooling system or something? I dunno, do you guys have any ideas?

    Vaccum line through Driverside fender

    Where does the vaccum line that goes through the driverside fender end up? I have a few more things to check and fix before I smog this bitch.
