Amazingly, mine didn't reallyhurt my mileage. What did drop my mileage badly was getting bigger, wider wheels. :cry:

I have that Costco jack. Relatively lightweight, and each pump moves the car up faster than the other jacks I've used. I'd say it's a good product, but I think most jacks in the $70+ range should do. The first one I got was a bit smaller, from AutoZone, and that thing leaked and was a real pain to u...

I'd say save the money. Now that we've got that out of the way, let's look at your little list of mods. The first thing I see is caster/camber plates. I honestly don't think you'll need these, unless you're going for some ridiculous camber in an auto-x. Without those plates, an alignment at a good s...

I've taken on a few in the Spyder and did pretty well...won some, lost some. 210hp V6 v.s. 260hp V8- They should have won all the time, but noooooooooooooo.... 8) Sure it wasn't a 3.8L? The V6s can sound almost like V8s w/ exhaust, etc., and some go as far as to get dual exhausts, so sometimes it's...

Definitely a safety issue. They do other things for self-preservation as well. On the highway, a CHP officer will approach you from the passenger side, so that he doesn't get run over by another motorist.

Just a couple thigns I thought of... 1. Never underestimate any fox-body mustang. I think 88-92 model years. Lightweight, ridiculous traction, great motoro to build up, too many people have fast fox-bodies to ever underestimate them. 2. I'd expect a supercharger if it was an '03 or '04 Cobra (since ...

plus, why would you waste NOS for no apparent reason? i can see in a race, but why just after you turned and were crawling down the street? Maybe he just got the bottle filled up, and the guy put 12 lbs of nitrous in a 10 lb bottle, so he wanted to blow some of it off? Just something I thought of. ...

I used Infinity reference speakers before, when I had a sub to handle the bass. They had great mid and high range.

w/o subs, I'd try the Infinity Kappas (are they still around?)

LOL, just don't ask me for advice. I don't think I ever did the 6-step right, and I could barely do the crabs(?). My boy was sick with windmills, and another guy I knew was decent w/ flares, but neither had any finesse... they just went up and did that one power move only, lol. I'm trying my best to...

You know the saddest thing about affirmative action? The group it helps the most is WHITE WOMEN. BLACK MALES receive little benefit from it.

So I see the results are mixed here, too. :D 3K intervals are practically a thing of the past. Many cars these days can go 5K or more. My car particularly says to change every 5K miles, and that's with 'severe' driving. but what about driving an older car that has some small oil leaks? should i sti...
