so answer this; why is a 4x4 more to insure com pared to a simmler car/truck in 2wd? never coould figure that one out. 2 reasons 1- more parts to replace after an accident. 2 - people seem to think that just because AWD/4x4 helps you get going, it will also help you turn/stop. Which it doesn't. Aro...

I've read this thread, and there is some good info, and some seriously bad info. The correct pressure for a given tire will depend on the manufacturer's recommended pressure, which is based on the tires that came as OEM, the recommended pressure from the tire manufacturer, and can then be adjusted t...

Oh, and one more thing: Craftsman offers a lifetime warranty on the torque wrenches they sell. Hope that helps. Only on the beam ones. The click ones have a 1 year warranty. And they will not recalibrate them anymore - at least I can't seem to get anyone here at Sears to figure out if they do or no...

You'd need the regulators, switches, wiring, door panels etc from the same car with electrical windows ... very costly, time consuming and it just adds unnecessary weight and more things to break. I'd rather have manual windows. I did both windows in my Saturn coupe in 4 hours, including a lunch br...

I haven't had interesting "stories" per se, but I have had a few people ask me "So, when are you gonna teach me how to drive stick?", to which I most always reply with a chuckle and "As soon as you get a car that's stick." I just tell them there is a $750 deposit to co...

At your second light (Moen Ave) turn right (West). Your first street is Harris, turn left and the dyno shop is at the en...

Thanks. I'm rather proud of that, but honestly, I tried to recover from the spin to the left, but I was just a passenger once it started spinning to the right.

I've been driving a stick as a DD for over 10 years, so I guess I'm "experienced." I'd say I make a mistake (missed shift, stalling, grinding) maybe once every 3-4 months. However, I've made mistakes on track. http://brick.net/~kmkeller/temp/ click on the video to see what happens when you...

manual = '04 Z06 Corvette
Auto = Tuesday I drive an '05 Corvette.

(both work test drives)

I've driven our ITA '94 Saturn SC2 race car around the paddock on race weekends, but haven't had it out on track.

It's been pointed out to me in another forum that it isn't clear that anyone is invited to come & strap their car down.

So - ANYONE can come & dyno, no matter what kind of car.

We have been able to reschedule our dyno day at TMW Dyno Research in Joliet, IL. We'll gather at the dyno on Nov. 12th for a full day of baseline runs, parts swapping, and retesting. We'll be joined by folks from the SPC, redlineforums.com, cobalttss.com, turbosaturns.net, several Chicago area Ford ...
