i went to the parts store and asked for a navi filter, and the one they gave me was small, im assuming stock lightning size. mine already has a navi on it from the previous owner. is the f250 filter the same, or? let me know would like to get it done tonight
thanks!
my truck just recently started a weird habit. at very light throttle while crusing(no load) i get what souds and feels to me as a very small misfire. as soon as a put alittle load on it( 0 vacuum) it seems to disapear. i made a pull today from 60-120, 3rd gear only, and it may have sputtered one...
pulling onto the highway yesterday i laid into her alittle, and out of the corner of my eye i saw the needle go back to zero. truck ran no differently on the rest of my trip, idles the same, starts the same, no CEL. so im wondering, is this a vaccuum leak, or is the gauge physically broken...
I own a pizza shop along with my father. It is take out/delivery only, and has been open since 1992, and isnt doing too bad especially in this economy. My dad is pretty old school and was/is against credit cards, as a pizza shop is primarily a cash business. Well, as of late, everyone and thier...
Well, it had to happen on christmas.
Driving along last night, and it was the first time it was above 20* since last thursday. i go to merge onto 611 and give it alittle more than 1/2 pedal and it had some bucking to it. i took it easy the rest of the way home.
first thing i check was the...
it was nice out the other day and i decided to take some pics. some turned out good, some okay. i do like the clear rolling shot though.
thanks for looking
...not for the lightning.
I have a 92 Calypso green coupe. im starting the motor build now(A4 block, eagle crank and rods, diamond pistons) and using my old turbo kit with a 76mm. Lentech AOD, biggstuff 3, yadda yadda. i have everything but wheels picked out. the car should make pretty killer...
im not sure which ones you guys raced, this one flew!. it was a reg cab 6spped truck. as far as i know its got longtubes filter tune exhaust etc. we raced from a 50 roll( not my choice) and he jumped a truck ahead. by 120 i was a truck ahead. fwiw, my truck went 12.9 at 107 after doing a 80 mile...
finnaly got some pictures! im very happy with the way the truck sits, i was really looking for that slight rake
and a messup, but not too shabby. i like the sticker placement
here is a before for reference

driving today, nice and easy, and i come to a light after being on the highway for awhile. truck goes 1-2, 2-3 and in 3rd it felt like someone put the damn brakes on! i put it back in 2nd and drove for a minute trying to decide what to do. put it backin 3rd and it felt the same! i gave it...
or around there? i saw like 10 lightnings while out on the true street cruise, driving in saturday, and leaving today. one raced in true street with me (black 01/02), saw another black 03/04, stock. 2 black unknown years with chrome wheels(one with 01/02, and the other with 03/04) and a sonic...

so my truck started acting funny today. it did like a 2-3-2 shuffle like it didnt know what gear to pick. checked trans fluid, was full and smelled good. got on it later in the day, shifted great, had OD off, let off around 90 and it kind of, i want to say neutral, like no load. tapped the gas...
i know its not much, but i figured while i was ordering brakes from summit, i would order some hotchkis leaf springs. tired of the truck not being LOW. i plan on cutting a coil in the front to get it down where i want. onlything im worried about is i have JLP shackles on the truck now. how low...
not really happy with the one that came on the truck (MAC) as it drones alot and it just overall sounds like a regular old truck. im looking for something alittle more high pitched, something similar to a mustang. what should i be looking at? truck as stock headers and bassani high flow mids
My truck right now has JLP shackles on the middle setting. the truck sits level, MAYBE slightly higher in the front. I would like the truck to be lower, so im wondering how much lower the truck will sit on the lowest shackle setting. i would probably get some shock extenders. i am also planning...
Raced an evo with the Lightning tonight. evo had injectors, header, 20g turbo, hks cams, and supporting mods.
the lightning has heads cams, stock blower with a 4lb pulley, and a tune.
we raced from a dig, he instantly put 1.5 cars on me, and by 90 i was on his bumper. we shut down early...
After all the BS i went through with the new heads. i decided i was going to put the motor in today.
started around 11 with 3 guys, and had guys come and go all day. prbably about 4 on average all day till about 8. only had one problem putting it in, and that was forgetting to put the dust...
