So after thoroughly inspecting and testing my cooling system, I've narrowed down the fact that I keep overheating to a failing head gasket.Is there a parts list out there that would cover all the things I need to buy while I'm taking this beast apart?
So while I was waiting for all you DSM gurus to chime in on my other post, I thought I'd give this kit a try.Sure, doing this while trying to figure out all the other problems with my car is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, but I think you might give it a try.Pass side...

Well, I may be moving out of New Orleans to Hawaii. I'm debating on whether or not to ship my car. Most places have quoted anywhere from $1800 to $2200 to ship the car from door to door. Any input from those folks who've actually had to ship a vehicle will be greatly appreciated.I work in...
Good video I found on Jalopnik. Explains pretty much anything you need to know about clutches, materials they use, full-face vs. puck setup, multi-disc setups, flywheels, pressure plates (even explains why so many DSM's crankwalk), and a little more. Very informative, and I found it pretty...
Visual evidence of the need for suspension upgrades...I'm thinking:
1. Tires (although I may hold off until I upgrade to wider 17's or 18's)
2. A/R bars
3. Coilovers<img src="http://www.delta-scca.org/2006/events/08/27/images/images/DSC_0097A.jpg"><img...
So, my car took on some water when Katrina hit and it dusted the motor on my driver seat. I'm looking to replace the stockers with some racing seats, but do any keep a stock look? Can they be found in tan to match the interior? Should I just switch to black seats?Your thoughts and...
I've got some new parts. Really just two: 680s and an SCM34.
Should be in and running by Friday. *crosses fingers*Guess which one's the old one.
Please forgive the quality of the pics. My cell/cam isn't that big on quality.
By Friday I should have my SCM34 and 680 injectors in the car.-----Here are my mods to this point:K&N FIPK Intake Filter
DejonTool 2-1/2" Full Compressor Inlet Pipe and 2-1/4" Upper and Lower Intercooler Pipes
1st Gen BOV

I've got a new turbo set-up coming and was looking at picking up an I/C from Hahn. It got a good write-up in December's issue of Modified, and I like the simplicity of the I/C piping.Does anyone have personal experience with this piece?*edit*
parts coming: pte scm34, 680s

Just something fun to see how creative you all are.
Here's the challenge...1. Write a review of your car (or any car) using only half a dozen words. No more. No less.
2. Any response posts must be six words as well.
3. Reviews can be positive or negative or just plain funny.

I picked up a 2G intake manifold which I will get extrude honed. I'd also like to plumb it for direct port nitrous.From this pic, where should the jets go?1. Red dots?
2. Blue dots?
3. Somewhere else?
4. Never mind and just go with the single jet before the TB...
