    This may be bad!

    So, I leave work yesterday in my GN (about a 20 mile drive home). I notice right away that the car is running real rough. I stop and check the plug wires, play with the MAF, check the intercooler connections, look at oil; everything appears to be OK. I decide to limp it home, it started out...

    Yesterday I passed emissions (IM240) with my Max Effort chip and the power plate without the EGR hole drilled! I thought for sure I would fail miserbly but to my surprise I passed. Only thing I did was put on my cat and a bottle of Guaranteed to pass in the gas tank. They did spend a good 20...

    Kill #1 I leave work in my GN and pull out of the parking lot in front of a newer Mustang convert that was already comming down the road. Young guy driving and 2 girls in the car with him. He tries to pass me but I hold the Buick at 3/4 throttle and just kind of play with him. Light ahead...

    Got NOS?? SS Camaro downed

    I was out today running some errands in the GN and got chased down by a black SS LS1 Camaro. On both rear quarter panels were decals that said "Got NOS?" . The car had a very healthy exhaust tone and had big TAC and other guages mounted inside. He kept throwing me revs but there was obviously...

    Head and Cam 5.0 sees my tail lights

    Driving around today trying to tune my baby in when I see a nice black 5.0 go by the opposite direction. We caught eye contact when he passed. No cars around so I swing a U-turn and catch him at the next light. He laughs when I pulled up and I said "I had to turn around, nice car". He had...

    Ricer thinks he has me

    I am tooling around in North Scottsdale with my wife last night. I am cruising about 45 when I hear the ricer coming up behind me at a high rate of speed. I look in my rear mirror and sure enough it is a hatchback Civic. I start to get into it a little but don't like the traffic that is...

    Max Effort experts here

    OK fellas, This weekend I slapped in my newly rebuilt tranny and freshend 3500 stall converter. I also swapped out my TE62 with a LT70 (got a good deal on it) and threw on a V4 in place of my stock IC. Tranny is all set to go and shifting great. I have the .63 'quick spool' housing on the...

    New tranny question

    I just had my 4 year old Art Car 2004R rebuilt and my Non LU 9 inch TC freshned up. The tranny was basically a complete rebuild (new clutches, band ....). I have it in now and set my TV cable up according to instructions at GNTTYPE. It is working great, now my question is how much of a break...

    Turbo oil feed line

    OK, I am slapping on my new PT-70 turbo and am wondering about the oil feed line. The new turbo does not have the fitting on it where the oil feed line connects to. There are 3 holes up top on the turbo where the line would go. I already sold my old turbo and don't remeber exactly what was up...

    Tranny mounts

    I have my tranny out getting rebuilt right now. I was thinking of replacing all the tranny mounts when I put it back in. Any suggestions of where and what to buy? Do I just drop in my local parts store and buy normal 2004r tranny mounts or are there other options?

    Integra gives me a try!

    I don't know much about the ricers let alone Acuras but here it goes. I am tooling along and a nice looking Integra comes up beside me and revs. This car was not riced out at all and was very clean, nice rims, nice paint and sounded like it had a turbo (faint whine). I hate going from a roll...

    30th anniversery TA

    This wasn't a complete kill but funny still. I was out cruising comming up to a red light when a 30th Anniversery WS6 TA flys by me and cuts me off so he could have pole position at the light. Too bad I couldn't get beside him but I will see what he does at the light. Light turns green and he...

    Turbo RX7 goes down..again and again and...

    Out cruising for a kill tonight and stumbled upon this RX7. I pulled up to a light where there was a white 1990 RX7 and a VW GTI reving at each other. I chose to get behind the RX7 and they were both clueless to me. The RX7 had a big 4 inch fart can and I could hear a pretty loud turbo under...
