Leaning towards the X, was looking at the Incredible at first, but now thinking about the EVO simply due to the plan I can get with Sprint vs. Verizon.

    Ok, got the odd task of setting up some sort of camera on a building across the street from a building we're redoing. We need to capture several images a day, and then at the end of the project turn it into a time lapse video. I've done all kinds of research, but it doesn't seem to be as simple...

    Dumping way too much alky!! Old SMC

    Ok guys, sold my car and it seems that the SMC kit is dumping way too much alky now. The guy goes out and gets on it, it bucks and surges, he comes back and half the tank is empty of alky. It's a dual nozzle system. He had to replace the pump, but put the same exact pump back in it. Even if he...

    Pinks All Out March 6th at Moroso

    Guys, I sold my car and the guy that bought it has a ticket to race. I've been trying to help him get the car running right, but I've been working 60+ hrs a week. Sounds like he's got the basics going, but it doesn't sound like he's going to get a lot of seat time. I'd like it if the south...

    Fuel Pump Hotwire kit broke

    Ok, I just sold my buick. The guy drives it 1 mile to his warehouse, turns it off and then tries to fire it back up and there's no fuel pressure. I pulled the wire off the relay and plugged the underhood light to the pump and the car fired right up, so either the relay went bad or something...

    How much for new ignition key setup?

    Long story short. I need a new key and cylinder lock. How much do these run, or can I just get a new ignition key made. The car was stolen several years ago, so it's not the factory lock on the column.

    Just heard from my brother at the pinks all out in Indy.

He's running a TSM car set on 21 lbs of boost. Ran 4 passes, 2 on...

    Got a free truck. How to register it?

    Ok, the parental units gave me a '95 GMC Sonoma with the 4.3 motor in it. I have the title with their signatures on the back. If I say I paid $500 for it, I pay taxes on the $500, if I tell the people at the liscense branch that the parents gave it to me, do they try to tax you on current retail...

    AC problem with 1999 Lesabre

    My dad's 99 lesabre is not blowing air through the dash vents. It will blow on the windshield and on the floor, and can switch between windshield and floor, but will not blow out the front vents. It has an electronic climate control, so I don't think it runs on vacuum. I can't hear a leak like...
