    My 87 Salon with the 330 actually running after 10 years...

    Like I said, it's still in need of a fine tune (maybe when I get my thermostat housing to stop leaking), but we like it. Breathing through the old rusted headers into dual 2.5 pipes through dual Flowmasters (40's I think); I have new ceramics to go on it when I can actually drive it normally...

    Remote oil filter system...

    I plan on running a dual remote oil filter system, due to the extreme closeness of the headers to the oil filter on the stock mount. I have always thought this is a totally positive thing....double filtration, more oil capacity, away from the heat....but now I don't know. I read this Tech piece...

    Stall question....

    So I have a 2400-2500 stall in the 87. I have done some figuring based on the rear gear, the overdrive gearing of the 200-4R, and my tire height....I had originally figured that this setup would be great for the highway, and mpg, but I am scared thinking that I may have problems, considering...

    Anyone into the "hot rod" vans of years ago?

    So, I have a terrible love of these things......yes, I know it isn't popular to admit that, but I do. I have an even bigger love for 4wd vans....anyone else. I have wanted to get or build one of these things since I was a kid.

    Anyone into older Honda CB 750's?

    I have only had Suzukis (1992 GSXR600, 2006 C50 and 2006 C90: had to sell the 90 after things got tight after losing hours at work in 2010), and I just picked up a 1982 Honda CB750SC (Nighthawk). I have always loved the older bikes like this (Suzuki GS's, Kawasaki GZ's, etc..), and I got this...

    An O-bummer joke.....

    One day in the future, Barak Obama has a heart-attack and dies… He immediately goes to hell, where the devil is waiting for him. “I don’t know what to do here,” says the devil. “You are on my list, but I have no room for you. You definitely have to stay here, so I’ll tell you what I’m going...
