    lil legal question for you guys

    Atleast here in Tx, if you don't have a license or insurance and you have a wreck... its 100% your fault.. even if you get rear ended or what ever.. The logic behind it is... you shouldn't be there no matter what... so its your fault.. I would contest the ticket and see what you can do from...

    Official Streetable definition? The "buck" stops here..

    theres no global definition of streetable -- it means so many different things to so many different people.. I'd say as long as i can get 5-10mpg around town and the car doesn't over heat its streetable.. Not all of us "need" power steering - not all of us "need" A/C - not all of us need...

    in case u ever wondered what the s/c cobras rwhp stock..

    From what I've observed over the years... Your typical mustang owner buys a mustang because they want to "look cool" or to attract the opposite (or same, i suppose) sex... Mustangs aren't typically sold to performance minded people They are a middle of the road kinda car - one that is a...

    I've always had problems with red top optimas :shrug: Do you have some kind of a drain on your battery? Mine kept going dead - ended up being the ****ty alarm some previous owner put on the car... :shrug: Frequent charging/discharging/jumping seems to make those optimas die FAST I...

    in case u ever wondered what the s/c cobras rwhp stock..

    My friend paid 26k for the vette w/o a super charger -- I think after everything said and done hes only got about 32-33k into the car To get to the same HP level you'd have as much, or more into a Cobra My point was, once you start mod'ing any car they _can_ become incredibly unreliable...

    in case u ever wondered what the s/c cobras rwhp stock..

    I thought about getting an 03/04 cobra to replace my totaled out vette (man i miss that car..) :mad: I decided to go with the 94/95 5.0 because _i like the car_ -- Always wanted one back when I was in high school... I got a pretty decent deal for my car -- 3k bux with the novi 2k S/C...

    my dwell was set to 35 (looking at the map i have on my PC) I'll call the tuner tomorrow to see if he changed this setting Interestingly - the car was doing the same thing before the AEM -- only then it would free-rev w/o a problem .... Now its not free rev'ing either However...

    Hmm.. Well - I said screw it and am chunking all the ford ignition **** I'm going to an AEM Engine Position Module (EPM - AEM - Engine Position Module (EPM)* ) and run LS1 Coils on the car Coil near plug would be different, and fun :nice: .. Should support quite a bit of HP too...

    Wont rev past 3krpm - tach jumps around

    The engine just stops rev'ing any higher - its exactly like its hitting the rev limiter (which is set at 5800 - tried setting it to 8k but it made no difference.. btw) I replaced the Ignition Control Module (on the passenger side of the car.. on the fender) with a new one from O'Reilly's and...

    Wont rev past 3krpm - tach jumps around

    Car is being dyno tuned and it wont rev past 3k rpm... The tach in the dash bounces around like crazy.. Any ideas what it might be? Car is running an AEM standalone, Spout is plugged in -- I'm thinking its distributor or TFI module.. ?? Thanks
