    Oil... buy by bottle or bulk?

    I used to buy oil at a dealership and filled my own container. It saved me a ton of money. I blew my engine this summer and had a TON of sludge inside of it. I have heard different stories as to the cause of sludge... most saying oil would not do it if I changed synthetic every 3,000 miles. I...

    My car blows up, faith in humanity restored!

    I had an issue today and thought I had to burp my system. The car kept overheating despite me burping the system over and over. Later, I took the cap off while the car was near the red zone for temp... I knew it was a bad idea to take off the cap when hot, but I didn't wanna blow up another...

    Need an Xcal2 or Xcal3

    If anyone has one to sell or rent let me know. Yes rent. I need it to get the EPA to fuck off and nothing more. Mine took a shit. Called SCT and a local tuner, plugged it into another car and it does nothing. It had a good run. PM me. Thanks!

    Need a Marauder tech

    Sorry if this is way to easy of a question for some of you... My air bag light is on, what should I do? I flew a fuse yesterday, changed it and things are back to normal, but this air bag light will not turn off. I am going to disconnect the battery for 30 min and see if the light will remain...

    My wife fixes my car while I am at work.

    Yes just as it says. A few weeks back I broke the idler pulley, spacers and belt. Well, I got so livid I decided to leave the car alone for a week and a half. I started working on it again and accidentally stabbed myself and could not finish the car because my cut kept opening back up. The...

    For those pushing 16psi+

    On a Procharger or any snail style blower, what are you doing about your idler pulley? I keep breaking them with bearings rated to 18,000 RPM. I hear I need 25,000 RPM bearings, but they do not exist for my application. What is your solution? Besides not driving the car.

    Should we organize a march due to gas prices?

    I am so livid that I had to pay $5.10 for premium that I am considering organizing a march of people pushing cars on empty tanks. Anyone and everyone. US, JDM Chicago, even normal people. It would be nice to push our cars one mile somewhere in Chicago, maybe near Obamas old house. The message...

    Fast and Furious 7 with Jason Statham

    Dual cold air intake idea

    This seems like a good idea to me, but before I go out and buy parts I want to know if this is worth my time and $20 or not. I was thinking of removing the fog lights and putting heating ducts in their place running them into the engine bay. I have seen this done with 60s cars when they would...
