What toys have you bought over winter?

[DarkShadow]

I personally don't have a problem with Intense. After reading some stories on the internet i am going to have to do a lot of research when it comes to deciding between the XP or S1X cam though.

I personally went with the S1X because ive seen that the xp bleeds off boost and to be perfectly honest I chose intense over zzp because of my experience with them.

Now when i had the cam in my engine it made great power, the ONLY thing i didnt like with it was that it seemed to have shifted the powerband up a little and when the engine would drop into 4th at 40 it seemed like it didnt like it a little. but boy did it like it up top (trans hated it tho lol)

I've heard that about the XP cam too but thats why i need to do some research. Not quite sure what "bleeding off boost" EXACTLY means. i kind of understand it but not really. Then you go to ZZP's site and they say that running the S1X without modded retainers will hurt your engine.

new body parts for my sister's beetle cuz she hit a big chunk of ice.

I ran modded retainers on mine so i didnt have any issues.



also to add to this topic i also bought rear hubs and a walbro for the bonne over the winter, and im SURE theres more crap in the basement that i forgot about....

Good ol' import drag racing!

HASPORT's (the people who make motor swap engine mounts) own CRX with a SUPERCHARGED k20, could only land a mid 13 second pass without slicks.

Bummer, I took the dealer sticker off my old 170K mile 93 taurus SHO with a bottle of goo-gone and a razor blade and didn't take any paint off.

well if you ever decide to get the vtec head, you could get this one...

or you could get some aircraft stripper

to get the black finish off of your old one, prime it, then get this stuff:

then pop it in your ELECTRIC oven, bake it, and wet sand the honda script back to metal and you are in buisness... i have seen some people do this and it looks 95% as good as oem

 

[Mook]

ricer!

 

[skeezer]

mike was bragging the other night about the shipment of multi-colored butt plugs that finally came in. i'm sure those are considered toys.

 

[Mook]

they light up too

Mines a bit beat-up, thats why I ask:

but why an electric oven?

 

[WhiteDevil]

Ive always used gas ovens to bake my shit.
