I've been looking for a new daily driver. My $850 270k mile '99 Escort I bought 5 years ago does not have AC anymore, and I recently discovered it's leaking coolant so I plan to pick something up soon rather than dump money into it. I originally was going to just drop ~$3k on about a 2000...
I've been looking for a good project and want to find a notchback lx to put a mod motor in since a 32v 4.6 can be found pretty easily for not too much. I can't seem to find a decent 5.0 coupe but see a bunch of 4 cyl coupes and since I am swapping to a mod motor anyways, would it be much more...
I did a wash/clay/m105/m205/wax on my step dads car for fathers day as it was in horrible shape for being such a new car. Still isn't in great shape but sure as hell looks better than before.
I don't have any fancy lighting, but this gives you an idea of how bad the paint was to what it was...
I thought of an idea that I'd like to pursue, and went through the first step this morning. I am going to cut out the Mach 1 logo out of sheet metal using the PlasmaCAM at the shop. I went ahead and inserted the logo into Solidworks and cut out the logo onto a rectangular shape. I will sandblast...
Can someone embed this? Apparently I'm not capable.
Full - Homeless Hitchhiker(Kai) Saves Woman From Jesus Attack W Hatchet. FUNNIEST NEWS REPORT EVER - YouTube
This has to be the most bad ass homeless guy ever. Funniest video I've seen in weeks.
I really need something to take to school with me since I live almost an hour away and my laptop is just too big and bulky to bring with me and it only lasts an hour and the charger is like 10 feet long and bulky as well so it'd just be too much trouble to bring with me, and I can't afford a...
I feel like I can't really enjoy my car because I know my syncros are going out and if I want to wind my car out I know I won't be able to shift into the next gear. The best I can do is drop it a gear and give it some gas but not up to the RPMs I'd like, or I can floor it in first and get a...
Anyone else playing this? If you have a wheel you need to get this game, it's insanely fun. I'm sure it'd still be fun with a controller though. If the PSN store ever gets back up I'll be getting some vids of gameplay up.
My SM Arnold sheeps wool mitt only lasted me about a year, so I'm in need of a new one. The website that sells them doesn't sell any other stuff I want, so I don't want to pay shipping and make a 10 dollar item 20 dollars.
I also want a good clay bar kit, and a good wax for my dsg car and a...
Hey guys, I hate to do this and be that guy, but I'd love to win a pair of iPads for me and my girlfriend. We entered this cutest couple thing a few radio stations are doing, they're combined, but can vote on each website. The winners get 2 iPads, one for the guy and one for the girl. You can...
I'll be getting some money to play with soon, and am wondering what I should do next, if anything. Here's my thoughts so far..
1: 96-98 Cobra Cams
Installation
03 Valve covers
2: Dyno tune
3: MGW STS
MGW E brake handle
Cup holder bezels
If I can't decide...
I need a set of tires for my new 18x9 wheels I got and really don't want to spend more than 200 on each tire. I don't even drive in snow or anything like that so I don't need an all season tire. I don't drag race or anything of that sort, just like to do some spirited driving every now and then...
I'm trying to figure out which tires to buy for my 18x9 saleens. At first I was wanting 275s all the way around but it seems 265s are quite a bit cheaper for most tires would it be worth it to go ahead for the 275s?
My Mach is a DD, with no drag racing use or anything like that. Even though...
I realize it needs to be lowered, that's next on the list. :beer:
At first I didn't like this shot but for some reason it's really growin on me.
Just painted my calipers black yesterday. Front..
Back..
Over the shaker.
Is there anything I can do to clean up my rotors? They look horrible all rusty and dirty and crap. I have some brake cleaner and black caliper paint because I was about to do my calipers. Can I clean the rotors with the brake cleaner?
I've got a 31 spline diff. and 4.30s I still have to buy the axles and a girdle and the installation kit. My question is should I really buy a girdle? Is it worth the 150 I'd spend on it? I'll hardly ever go to the track not sure if that matters.
Also if I should get one any certain brands I...
I was walking into school and noticed this old civic notch that was slammed and in the back seat was a compressor looking thing. I've also seen the same looking thing in the bed of an s10 that looked like it was dragged often so I'm guessing it has something to do with performance? :shrug:
