    Mr. Clean works

    I just tried that new product by Mr. Clean. Just wash, rinse with regular water, rinse with filtered water and it works. I impressed with the results. My car has a new paint job and I was worried about drying and getting marks. Even the windows came out great. Just my o2:D

    How to maintain a SEMI retired GN

    I will not be using the GN for the first time during the winter when it snows or rains. I will be taking it out once or twice a week weather permitting to go to the store and what not. If I start it once or twice and travel about one or two miles a week is there anything I should be concerned...

    Turbo Tweak Chip

    I just installed my new TT chip from Eric and I just wanted to say WOW. Very nice chip, this chip eliminated my transitional knock to 0 and I have the turn on point for my alky set to about 11. The car feels more responsive and WOT lock up is nice. Thanks for great service and a great chip. When...

    Deep water = stall and stumble

    Help, coming home from work today I found myself confronted with a large puddle (small river) of water. I came to a 1 or 2 mph roll and attempted to cross. Halfway through the car stalled. She restarted and I got through. She's been running a little rough but getting better. My main concern is...

    Must be a Masochist

    OMG, the nerve of some people. Last night while coming home from work, crusing at about 60mph, windows down and Zepplin on the box I hear this loud fart can coming up hard from behind, I check the rear view and much to my surprise I see some nice HID's closing in fast. I figure it's time to eat...

    Cobra kill (bad attitude)

    First at a light and then from about a 25 mph roll. I was at a light getting on to RT80, super nice looking Black 03 Cobra pulls up next to me and it's on. No talk, no heavy looks, I build about 2lbs of Boost and I open the dump all the way. Light goes green and he jumps me by half a car length...

Anyway I'm getting on Route 80 off 46 (nice striaght run) I see a BMW comming on hard and fast (80 to 100mph is my guess) so I do what I always do, I...

    How to tune alky with my combo

    Friday was a good day for me. I had my SMC alky installation completed (dual nozzle), and while I was at my mechanics I had the motor mounts done (HRParts,, Polys). All I can say is, Holy sh*&t, What the f*&k, my god it's alive!! Ed and Mike at Rons Auto fabricated a great bracket to house the...

    Mild Mods and Alky

    My car is my daily driver, 80 miles a day. After my engine rebuild (see sig) I've decided to buy the Alky kit from SMC. I've been running 100 octanes about 80% of the time on the street and I get no knock at 15 to 17 lbs of boost, because my OT at work has been cut a little I need to scale back...

    TE45 or TE45A?

    What is the difference between the TE45 and the TE45A turbo? I'm trying to educate myself to which turbo upgrade would be best for my current combo, looking for mid to low 11's without breaking the car, BB's are not a consideration because I don't want to break the bank as well. The occasional...
