I'm going to be removing my old engine and installing a JDM motor in less than a month. I have the Chilton manual and checked out the VFAQ removal. Does anyone has any personal advice (tools to use) or know of another removal/install walkthrough? Just doing as much research I can before i get...

I think that has the do with the high volume of imports on the street with stolen motors.

Here you want to get great gase milage in a car. Check out this.100+ MPG

IF you have load exhaust, tons of stickers on your car, Lowered like there is no tomorrow and hang around areas that have illegal racing you will get busted in that mustang just as fast as an import.Also If you feel like your getting messed with because you have an import (And your car is...

Its funny that most people have no problem spending thousands of dollars on their cars but wont spend $30 to race at a track.

Yeah the bike wont let you take the key out without the steering wheel locking. Where I had the bike parked the only way to get it out was to pick it up and carry it out.Heading down to the Motorcycle shop now to see whats going to be in stock in about two weeks.. Also to see if I can...

Well it looks like mine might have not been the only one stolen that night. Two other bikes that I usually see every day are now gone too.Just dealing with the insurance now and wondering how long it will be till I get a new bike. Also how much its going to cost out of pocket. :notgood:

The Street racers do this to themselves. I know in the sacramento area that I've seen reported more that a dozen deaths from illegal street racing. Its a big news item and normal people want it to stop. Unfortunatly the main group gets viewed the same way as the punks that street race. I...

Well that wont be a problem anymore. Someone STOLE my motorcycle yesterday morning. :mad: :mad: :mad:I had it parked infront of my car at my apartment complex locked to a pole with a Motorcycle cable. It was also blocked in by the other two cars parked on either side. Me and the wife...

It was ok.They added a custom intake and a muffler and was able to get 14/hp on the dyno.

Happens the first week to weekend in august every year.http://www.hotaugustnights.net/

Ahh Hot August nights.Used to love going up to reno in and staying the weekend and enjoying the show. Used to love open cruise Friday night. Anything 69 or older got to cruise the strip. (they dont allow that anymore)To bad all the gang fighting and some of the (sorry to say it)...

Its easy to open it up and roll back or just replace the whole gauge cluster. I know in Cali they take down your odom reading every two years for smog. I think if you ran car fax and one reading was lower than the last it would come up as a hot item..

Yeah the cops is this area are getting way to creative at catching street racers. Video is hard to fight in court.I remember when after a big even at Sac Raceway the big boys would trailer their cars down to the gas station near El Centro and race for money. Cops would show up and flash...

Shoot I think thats a little hight. 1 car (full coverage) and 1 New motorcylce (full coverage) and I pay $106 a month.But look around. It might be cheaper to get it on your own.

Also the maintance cost will kill you. Having to have your valves adjusted every 6,000 miles is harsh on those bike.Still I love the design and would still love to own one down the line. A nice red 996.

Its a Giulia.(pretty much the same a a Giulietta) It was my first car when I was 13. But its in bad shape after the fire. So its going to be lots of work with lots of money to get it up a running again. Unless "Overhauling" wants to come by the house and fix it for me. :)

I'll still be around here but I dont think I will be going with another DSM. I have my new Motorcycle to ride around and have my 63 Alfa Romeo Spyder that will start taking up all my free time and money starting this winter.

Yeah National Guard is starting to turn into the army's infantry unit. It you look a most Army Reserve units, none are infantry units only anymore. They are specialized units. Como, medical, etc.Also you have to remember with national guard. Any disaster happens in your state like a...

Well the Talon is gone. But I think I sent it to a good home. The guy said he should have it up a running in about 2 weeks. So good luck to him. Just glad I was able to sell the car and not part it out.

I used to spend hours on the text based game " Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy". A game that you just wanted to beat your head into the keyboard alot.

When I was looking for my my 98z28 (back in 98) I was talking to the dealer. I was working on him about the sticker price and he mentioned that they had a still new (0 miles) 97 Z28 on the lot and I could really save money. I told him that I didnt want a 97 and that I wanted a 98. He looked...

I'm sad when any car like that goes. Its one less performance car you can get from the dealer. There are only a few out there as it is.

I'm sorry to say. But why would you waste time on getting another DSM when you have a sweet car like that now.Well I could see why. I would only drive that on the weekends too. and it would never see a bad weather day...

I know they are not bad cars but the engine is not the most reliable of sorts. I;ve seen more that a few conversions for chevy v-8's. I've heard a few hints about LS1 conversion but have yet to run across one.

I joined the Army Reserves back in 96 and did my 6 years active reverve and two years inactive without getting called in. My old unit got called up 6 months after I got out but they only ended up on the iraq/kuwait border doing como stuff.It all depends on the job your doing if your going...

Dead Man Walking

Shoot a stock 99 Z28 was able to pull a 12.9 in the 1/4 on street tires ( Pro drag driver in the car) With a 100 shot and slicks they are in the 11's. A great cop car and I bet its heavy a **** because of all the extra police stuff he has in it. But does anyone really care about 1/4 times in...

Well being in CA we have pretty crappy fireworks that we are allowed to have. We bought about $200 in Phantom Fireworks and boy its doesnt seem that we bought that much. We lit them off last night on the 3rd because that was the only night that all the family could get together. It was ok but...

One of my favs would have to be: Shelby GT500

Kashmir has the best guitar rift.My fav has got to be:I could not stand the remake of Stair-Way by dolly Parton. :barf:

Best advice before you buy anymore tools. Go to the dealer your going to be working at and talk to the guys working there. Find out what they use the most. What they think is the basic tools that you must have and such.

Shoot we have two cats and I spend $40 buck a month on cat medical insurance. Yeah its pretty strange but boy has it save me a ton of money on the shots and when the older cat got sick.

Very nice. Yeah I'm getting the eliminator so that i can get rid of the ugly plate and taillight section. I like hows yours looks. Also i need to get some frame sliders just incase.

The wife will give me a ride in her car or i will borrow the in-laws car. Its just sitting at their house.Also: LambdaJoker check the classifieds. The car is listed in there.

Here is my new ride.2005 Suzuki GSX R600 (sorry for bad pic.. Was on my camera phone)Its to replace the talon.Its a blast to ride and its real nice when I have to go to the pump and fill up.

Yeah me too. Shoot just posted mine in the Classifieds today. Just didnt have the time or the drive to finish putting it back together. :(So the car is going and i'm going to get a Motorcycle instead.

Yeah bang for the buck you cant beat a chevy 350. So much you can do to get power from so many different places.

Remind me of an episode of South Park.

This case has been reviewed by the Judical system more than enough. Its been up and down the courts for years. Both state and fed have both reviewed the case and spoken on the manner.That is one thing that also really bugs me about this matter. The waste of money that we as tax payers...

http://www.PinkBunnyPoker.comThis guy is going to wear a pink bunny suit to the World Series Of Poker. But was smart is that he is selling the space on the front of the suit for advertisement on e-bay.I cant wait to see this on tv.. You know ESPN will show it.

Well if he spent 20 years in jail he has had alot of time to read alot of books thats for sure.

They used to. But the company got sued by fox.U can find cans on ebay but its expensive. Cases go for $1200.00.I did see one can for $16.00

Its been in the courts for for at least 10 years. The judical process has found that it was her wishes to die. Her parents have had many chances with many judges to try and prove this wrong. They lost. Congress should not have been envolved in making new law that should pretain to this case...

Nah the only energy drink that you need is:

And we wonder why we pay so much for medical insurance. :mad:No we just pay for it in other ways. :notgood:

I know, roads are crap here. I really wish they could push a bill that would make the gas tax and the red light cams money to go for the roads only. This general fund crap doesnt work. My tax money goes for some stupid study or project while the roads just get worse. :notgood:

I see those problems costing more than $500 dollars in parts and time (if you have a shop do it). I would probably just sell it.

They are talking about the in CA too. I think we will get them because of a few reasons.1. It will slow down speeders. 2. It will mean that police have time for more important things. 3. And most important. Its a CASH COW. Lots of money for cheap.Really I dont see how it will do...
