    Extreme Automatics/ Lonnie Diers

    I just want to take a minute to express my appreciation for the support that I have received from Lonnie. I've hit some bumps in the road with a trans/converter combo that I have been trying to get together, including some issues that have nothing to do with Lonnies trans or parts, and in fact...

    Locking and unlocking while cruising

    I just installed a freshly built trans (Diers Stage 2) and a PTC 2800 lockup converter in my car tonight. Everything may be A - OK, but I just want to know if this is normal..... Cruising at about 60 mph, I noticed that every time I let completely off the gas, and then gently pressed the...

    TE-60 was rebuilt by Precision and has about 2000 street miles on it. 4" inlet, 2 1/2 outlet. This turbo runs extremely well and makes a lot of power, as evidenced in my sig below. Precision upgraded the wheels when they rebuilt it, but don't ask me specifics because I don't remember. I just...

    When I'm WOT running in 3rd gear, I'm getting a sound from under the hood like a popcorn machine, or a bunch of pi$$ed off bumble bees in a jar. It's not registering as knock, and the car pulls hard right thru it.. but what that hell is it???????? Showed up all of a sudden. Here's what I've...

    Can't drop boost - 67DBB

    Interesting problem to have, but I can't get boost below 23 lbs with my 6776DBB. I was curious if anyone else has had a similar issue, especialy with THIS turbo.

    Florida car insurance

    I'm wanting to revisit my car insurance now, looking at the money I've got piled into my machine at this point, I'm getting a bit paranoid. Thinking about what it would cost to start this process all over, and what my insurance company would likely give me in the event of a total loss...

    Sometimes just hate my ride...literally.

    I'm looking for some suggestions here on rear springs/shocks. My car is fine on smooth road, but hit some of the less-than-perfect asphalt that this area is littered with and my rear end wants to jump and hop all over the place. Several years back I instally Kirbans HD rear springs, which...
