Just want to mention that this forum is by far the best forum I'm currently on. There were a few good ones back in the day but now most forums are full of retards and pussies (not the good kind!). The vintage car guys seem to think that if it wasn't done that way in the 1960s or when they...

Never played the video games. Heard the show was good and got the wife to watch it with me last night. Episode 1 was great. Wife is hooked so that's a bonus. Production value and budget of TV shows these days is absolutely insane.

Right. Simple Green Extreme Aircraft and Precision cleaner is what you want on your car instead of the standard formula. And I agree that under hood dressing just makes everything a magnet for dust and gunk. I never bothered warming up before cleaning because that's that degreaser's job. I'd...

What ramps are you using? The area where my ramps connect on my Bendpak looks a bit different than yours.

Yup and I didn't post anything that contradicts their statements today. Everything in the economy is firing on all cylinders, therefore no need to cut at all, even if inflation was at 2%.

Economy is strong (corporate earnings growth continues), labor market is strong (longest run under 4% since the 60s), inflation is 3.2% which is not much above the long term target of 2 (everyone forgot the Fed in 2020 said they would be willing to have inflation be higher than normal for some...

I'll go to a cars n coffee with my daughters because they enjoy it. Folks that go to those are generally also car people and get the no touching rules. Other people are idiots. I'll never go to car shows that are "events" where regular people attend. Most people are absolutely clueless. I had...

I hope you buy your insurance agent a nice Christmas present every year with the amount of work he has to do for you keeping your policy updated

Shrug. It's been underwhelming given the reviews and expectations. Sure it's fast. It's also soulless. The electronics suck. I've put about 10k miles on it. I think I'd know if I liked it by now. Probably my biggest car purchase regret ever.

The exact 930 Slantnose in my sig. ETA: for those that don't know the story, that's a 1 family, 2 owner car. I remember the day it came home in 1987.

I have an Avant and would 100% rather have the GT4. Totally not impressed and will be trading it in 2 months or so (stupid Colorado DOT employee backed into me so I need to get that repaired first). Owned it less than a year.

My understanding of the CA SMOG system is that is looks at the checksum of your tune and compares it to the SMOG database. They do the same thing in Colorado now. People with aftermarket tunes get an error "unable to connect" and then get sent straight to a referee station. -Like what decipha...

It's not a backpressure issue... if COT is turned off then you'll melt your cats. Also, you won't pass the visual in CA with aftermarket cats.

You'll likely need a new tune. Are your rear O2's turned off? Did they turn off cat over temp protection? If you're trying to SMOG in CA you'll need the stock tune or a CARB approved tune to pass. If you have any other tune you'll get sent to a referee.
