    Agreed, the personalities at the BBC version make the show. Despite all the cracks about Americans and American cars you can't deny that show is entertaining. Even my wife will watch it! Adam

    Drill press

    Nice steal! My old man has an ancient craftsman model that is still going strong. It's an invaluable tool. Adam, I finished in 2005 with $82K in loans and 5 years later I'm down to $18K, was able to get married, payed off a $17K truck, and bought a house. The key was the first 3 years after I...

    what do ya think

    I'd stay away on principle. Custom pistons just to get the most out of a brand new block? Poor design. No thanks. There is plenty of information on the shortcomings of this block on this forum and Hardcore5.0 if you do some searching. Adam

    Need some opinions

    Agreed that pro-stars don't look right on a convertible for the street. Painted mirrors look great. Adam

    Do I need a new engine/rebuild?

    Amanda, I think that a rebuild is definitely in order. Not sure exactly what the carnage looks like though, maybe during the tear down something will be discovered. I don't agree that replacing the entire engine off the bat is best way to preceed, unless you can get a smoking deal on a quality...

    Steeda New Spyder Rims..OPINIONS

    Larger tires will affect your acceleration off the line in a negative way. More rotating mass means your engine has to work harder to overcome the inertia. For an auto, changing out your tire size will also affect your shift points and obviously the speedo / tach. You'll get better highway...

    Windshield Replacement

    Damn man sorry to hear that. We used to use an air knife, which is a 3 inch long extremely thin reciprocating stainless steel blade that you could bend slightly as needed. It went through the urethane like it wasn't there. That piano wire trick only works on Horsepower TV. Adam

    Windshield Replacement

    I used to cut glass for a summer job and have put in 50 or so windshields. Never solo. You have to be VERY temperature sensitive with the sealing compound. My shop had a specific wattage light bulb sealed in an old refrigerator that would keep the sealant at a magical temperature. The goop...

    trying to settle on a plan

    I just bought a 1989 25th anniversary edition convertible with 177K on the engine and transmission. The car runs great, shifts great, etc. I take it to work as a daily driver, no issues. I am planning the differential/transmission/engine rebuild after my taxes next year. I've heard of these...

    Holley systemax question

    I'm pretty sure that doesn't fit under the stock hood if you just bolt it on. Hence, not listed for SN-95. I could be wrong... Adam

    Converting to a Carb'd Setup

    Where does it say in my comment that it won't work? Of course it will still run, it just performs like crap, especially in light of modern technology. If you're going to fight the same tuning issues anyway (you are) then it might as well be for sizeable gain in the end. An e-cam is gonna get...
