    Braided Vacuum Hose

    Well if you're looking for better than OEM performance why would you not want to use the fittings.And if you are only doing it for "eye candy" wouldn't frayed or taped ends detract from the "look".For whichever reason you plan to do the mod my vote leans heavily in the direction of...

    Where the heck Do I get Center Diff?

    Not sure what you are asking. Is your center differential shot or the 4 bolt rear?you are correct about the 4 bolt rear it came from a late 92' thru 94' AWD car.Those year models came with OEM bigger 4 bolt rear and larger axles.as to the center differential if you are trying to...

    Worth keeping A/C in the car?

    just my 2 cents. if you haven't used a/c in your other cars and you believe you will continue that trend with this one pull it. check to see if it works then remove,clean and store it. should you ever wish to sell the car you can re-install at that time. and with the compressor out of the way...

    Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    sounds like you have no fuel or no spark in the combustion chamber. clogged fuel line ? low or no fuel pressure ? fouled spark plugs? these are the things i would start checking.

    Tech school for high performance engines?

    let me see if i agree that schools such as uti,mmi, & wyotech have no merit ahhhh nope i don't agree. anyone starting out can benefit from a structured training environment which all the aforementioned institutions provide. you get out what you put in. if you show up and don't apply yourself...

    tire sizing ?s

    i would have to advise against the lower aspect ratio on the 16 rims it will definently look "off" check into larger rims like 18 x 7 up to 18 x 9.5 then you can run 245/40-18 tires looks more aggressive IMO. i've been running 18 x 9.5 with 245/40-18 for a few months now zero problems although...

    Custom Exhaust. Muffler or Resonator?

    Thought i could help clear up your understanding a little about the differences between resonators and mufflers. I'll start with resonators: think of them as a tuned frequency tube. The length, diameter,and internal design will only allow a portion of the incoming sound wave frequencies to reach...
