    Little update. In one of the magazines they mentioned in order to add the oil drain plugs to the oil pan, you can jack up the engine enough to drop the pan and drill the holes. And still be able to clean out the pan. I spent 3-4 hours trying to get the pan back on as the gasket kept falling back...

    She is still breathing for now. Since we couldn't prove anything I couldnt see getting in trouble worthwhile. As I'm sure I had a few enemies around from starting my car late at night and things of that nature. But I believe in karma. And it paid off. As her and her now new husband refuse to...

    Swapping Cluster, Have A Question

    I've done this. Seems I had to replace the plastic shroud that goes around it, or else it left a gap or something. Only reason I did it was because i bought a cluster off ebay and took so long to put it in that I couldnt return it.. If i had to do it all over I would have just resold it. There's...

    Upr Boost Pipe On N/a?

    I wanna put the filter and maf in the fender to keep to cooler. But by the time i would build my own with the pipe and coupler. (Refuse to use PVC dont even bring it up) I could almost buy the anderson one. I guess I'll just go that route then.
