    Car is tuned (almost)

    I'm sure some of you remember my issues with getting the car tuned. I finally decided i'd just make the drive up to LA to get it done. Beats dealing with the tuners breaking s**t or trying to rip me off around here. I've got a few small issues to work out still, but the car seems to be running...

    Need Help

    I'm having some major problems getting my car tuned. I know it's not a Honda, but i'm wondering if any of you have seen anything like this before. The datalog is showing everything like a stair step. Tach, RPM, Air Flow signal, etc all jump around. Speed is jumping 10+ mph in some places...

    What would you do ... Tuning issue

    So there's about 2 good tuners in town. I got a "break-in" tune from one about two months ago. There are quite a few problems. The most glaring issue is the transmission and the shift points, but it's also incredibly rich and lacking some power in the mid range. He had the car for 6 hours and...

    Nissan GT-R

    So the owner of the shop i'm having my car built at just bought a Nissan GT-R. Holy f**k is it one beautiful car. And here's a pic of the 2000 Cobra R that he's redoing. It made something like 900hp before, but now he's using my setup as a base to build this new kit. Probably going to make...

    Dyno time... Guess the numbers

    Going in for the dyno early tomorrow morning. I'm excited and a little nervous. We just finished the car a few hours ago (for the most part). The shop is going to go over everything one last time tonight and tomorrow morning before we make the drive to the tuners. We still haven't been able to...

    Thoughts on gauges

    Trying to put all the last little pieces together on the mustang. I've basically figured out what i want to do with the gauges, i just need a little input. I'm doing an innovative wideband with a square display that's going to be sitting on the steering column. Should be able to mount it almost...

    Threads getting locked/deleted

    What's going on? Is CC cracking down in off-topic? or everywhere, or what? Seems like a ton of posts have been locked or deleted recently. Tons of infractions (what the f**k are infractions anyways?) seem to be passed out as well, at least by all the complaints seemingly popping up. I thought...

    Anyone familiar with ebays policies on receiving bad items?

    So i was finally able to take a look at the intake i bought last week. Definitely was misrepresented. The intake was labeled as new, never installed. The intake was never run, but it looks like they definitely tried to install it. Looks like it might not line up correctly. Would i have a case...

    Almost done buying s**t... small mustang progress update

    So i thought that i was done spending money on the car after having bought the new intake and having the head work done. Oh, was i wrong. Now i've got to get a new throttle body to fit the new intake. I'm also going to have to pick up a mass air flow sensor (I think i might be able to pull off...

    Old school gaming

    Just picked up a copy of Space Quest collection. Had to download the original EGA version for Space Quest 1 though. The collection came with the remake (VGA) and it just bugged me. Wasn't how i remembered Space Quest. Just started on SQ1. Going to work my way through all 6 :headbang:

    Car Update - Crappy phone pic warning again

    Stopped by the turbo builders to drop off the torque converter and snapped a few pics of the progress so far. I really just need to keep my camera in the car all the time. These phone pics really don't do it justice. My custom grind turbo cams also showed up last week as well. Other than getting...

    Paint advice (??)

    I just bought a pair of 03 cobra side mirrors. I'm going to have to get them painted (obviously), but there are a few dings and scratches in the black part shown below. What do you think. Could these be touched up/fixed at paint? They seem to be metal, so i would think it wouldn't be a big...
