Amazingly, mine didn't reallyhurt my mileage. What did drop my mileage badly was getting bigger, wider wheels.nuclear-toy wrote:Yeah, and 4.10 gears will shoot your fuel mileage to hell, unless you don't give a damn and have money enough for gas.

I have that Costco jack. Relatively lightweight, and each pump moves the car up faster than the other jacks I've used. I'd say it's a good product, but I think most jacks in the $70+ range should do. The first one I got was a bit smaller, from AutoZone, and that thing leaked and was a real pain to u...

I'd say save the money. Now that we've got that out of the way, let's look at your little list of mods. The first thing I see is caster/camber plates. I honestly don't think you'll need these, unless you're going for some ridiculous camber in an auto-x. Without those plates, an alignment at a good s...

I've taken on a few in the Spyder and did pretty well...won some, lost some. 210hp V6 v.s. 260hp V8- They should have won all the time, but noooooooooooooo.... 8) Sure it wasn't a 3.8L? The V6s can sound almost like V8s w/ exhaust, etc., and some go as far as to get dual exhausts, so sometimes it's...

Just a couple thigns I thought of... 1. Never underestimate any fox-body mustang. I think 88-92 model years. Lightweight, ridiculous traction, great motoro to build up, too many people have fast fox-bodies to ever underestimate them. 2. I'd expect a supercharger if it was an '03 or '04 Cobra (since ...

plus, why would you waste NOS for no apparent reason? i can see in a race, but why just after you turned and were crawling down the street? Maybe he just got the bottle filled up, and the guy put 12 lbs of nitrous in a 10 lb bottle, so he wanted to blow some of it off? Just something I thought of. ...

LOL, just don't ask me for advice. I don't think I ever did the 6-step right, and I could barely do the crabs(?). My boy was sick with windmills, and another guy I knew was decent w/ flares, but neither had any finesse... they just went up and did that one power move only, lol. I'm trying my best to...

So I see the results are mixed here, too. :D 3K intervals are practically a thing of the past. Many cars these days can go 5K or more. My car particularly says to change every 5K miles, and that's with 'severe' driving. but what about driving an older car that has some small oil leaks? should i sti...

Oh yea- and BTW this is a message to all faithful MOBIL 1 oil users; it has come to my attention that Mobil has switched its formulation from a Group IV synthetic, to a GROUP III, now if ou want a truE synthetic, you are limited to these (i may of left some out) Redline AMSoil MOTUL GermanCastrol C...
