    CAI sucked some water

    ok so installed those new plugs and car seems to run fine and idle ok. But im a little concerned with the number 4 wire because it didn't firmly click in like the others, i gapped them and hand torqued then a 1/2 or less of a turn i could feel the first "snug" but how will i know if they are enough.

    CAI sucked some water

    i just tried to remove the plugs, i have a 5/8 spark plug remover, but it doesn't seem like it's fitting. Im assuming it's deep enough because its the actual remover, the 420a motor's spark plugs are 5/8 sockets right? what other sizes can i try? i had the motor assembled by a shop so idk if...

    CAI sucked some water

    i just replaced the oil, and usually get synthetic changes, which is pricey, how soon would you change the oil? my drive way at my apt complex is slanted so i don't feel comfortable using stands, i've been going to shops since i moved.

    Running cold after thermostat

    just replaced my thermostat because my coolant was overflowing in the reservoir, so I suspected it faulty. After I replaced it, topped off coolant, drove around 10 miles including hopping on i75, WOT to cruise at 80, and the temp gauge stayed cold the whole time. Its about 58 degrees, the...

    2G 2G no sunroof to sunroof?

    yeah you're all probably right, but every time i see a 2g with a sunroof i get jealous, plus you can use lighter material than glass, ie carbon fiber, and lightweight aluminum railing, and to water proof i can put silicon or something in the grommet around the thin metal to make seal

    Is there a performance battery?

    lol i do, two 12s with 500 or 600w forgot, and a aftermarket stereo.so i get the concept of deep cycle batteries but is the gain an efficient one? it sounds like they will wear out a hell of a lot quicker than starter batteries. and explain when i will need a higher reserve that a starter...
