Uh oh! He's got those diamond plate floor pans. Those things are own to fly out of the car when the tyvec screws used to hold them in give up at 120 mph. He's livin on the edge.Lambo Doors... check

I this kind of thing happens all the time with naturally aspirated motors. The wrong combo of parts will definitely slow you down. Also if you went with a higher gear ratio you'll definitely loose top end speed. You've moved your power curve down to get more torque, you will now come off the...
Am I the only one that feels like my car is my hobby and I don't want my chick anywhere near it. Car time to me is drinking beer and hanging out the guys. When I'm done we I'll spend my time with my chick. But her hobby is her horses so its mutual.
It seems to be the latest fad. Much like steam rolling was in the early nineties. From what I've seen it originated from the German cars and has spread. I saw a VW GTI with an hx-40 on it making great numbers, but was a total waist of HP because he had those stupid stretched tires on it. A stock...
I know the Diods in the mafs are known for failing and causing all kinds of idle and no start problems. My dub freinds always talk about having to soldier in new diods cause it burnt up.
Depends what you wan to do with the car. Personally I like to go fast and be able to pic up a girl and take her to a nice dinner with a car that is nice on the inside. AC is a must for me for that reason. The five points are just going to snap your back if you get in a wreck and don't mount the...
Boats use a heat exchanger system much like an air to water intercooler as a radiator. The only real problem I see you having is like stated before after the raw water cools the radiator it is exhausted out the manifolds to keep every thing in the boat cool. So you would need to use an electric...
Well if the boat had a big block olds in it. You may be able to use the 4g63 to gm bell housing adapter and use the trans thats in the boat depending on what year it is. Also every thing in a boat is designed to be spark resistant. It only takes a small amount of gas fumes to blow up a boat...
When I first put my o2 dump on my car I felt the same way. All I could hear was the loud noise of the open dump, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to hear if something was going wrong. After about a month I got used to the sound and now I can hear the motor threw the sound of the dump.
After two months of my car sitting I finally got the problem fixed. After every one telling me to put a new ECU in it. I ran across a guy who said he had the same problem a couple years ago. He told me to replace the Engine Coolant Temp Sensor. Well After a twenty dollar part the car runs great...
I'm actually the only DSMer of my car friends, they are all Vdub guys. Once you learn how to work on them they no harder than working on a DSM. I like the older ones like MK3's. The VR6 is a much heavier duty motor than the 1.8. Its also a weekend project to turbo the Vr6. Find a 1.8T or a VR6...
