My second car (cutlass was first) was a 150$ 280z. I had it a few months and wanted to fix it up, rust bucket, didn't run, and someone offered me 250$ so I sold it. Third car was a 1000$ 1990 civic. For only having 80 something hp it would hang with newer normal 4cyl cars, this being 2005-07...

Saint Arnold's Amber, stout, and some years divine reserves are very good. Sam Adams Winter Lager used to be very good, its a different brew in the last year/two their Boston Lager is good though. Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA. Real Ale full moon pale rye ale. Southern Star's Bombshell Blonde...

my point is not wrong. My dad has been to court defending his business against something very similar. Tell me how many times you've been taken to court for slander/defamation. I like you man but you're starting to get on my nerves with this one, if phoenyx goes to court he's taking a big...

hey mike, good to see you got on here. I haven't had anyone bite on the 455 it's not lookin good. Post some pics of the car!! mike 8)

no sh*t, it's a monza they weigh what, 2700-2800 lbs? My neighbor has 2 of them, one has a stock 350 that isn't too slow even by todays standards and the other he's always lookin for a cheap LQ9 setup, he wants to do it all up with a tune and headers the works. I tell him he's nuts. Told him...

there's your first problem. But of course its only masking the real problem. Are the wires separated well, not arcing or sitting on a header, have you tried a different dist/stronger coil, more advance? Step up one step heat range plug, carb could be too rich if nothing else it may be an...

As of now yes phoenyx go get your car fixed get other mechanics expertise advice and all that, go talk to the guy. But don't go to court. Guys you are missing my point once again. I'm not arguing here either, I'm just trying to bring yall to the reality of the situation. When both of you go...

Phoenyx, slander doesn't mean 'false' that definition is incorrect in terms of law. Slander is spoken libel. Libel is defamation, there are levels of each one. Generally, I'm no lawyer, when you defame a business or professional there's not a whole lot of damages that can come up against you...

see you say that but its hard to fathom what they can get from you and your family. Law is sick, its a sincerely ****ing sick business I stay as far away from it as possible. I agree with the guys who say get out there and talk to him personally an apology goes a very long way. Tell him you...

Facts of the case are this - Phoenyx took his car to this guy, told him to do x,y,z for this price before this date. Business owner agreed. How do we know Phoenyx told the guy to do these thing? How do we know what date it was agreed on to be finished? How did we know he didn't tell the...

Jbreu - I have a trutrac in my truck, its an 8.6 rear so its similar to the 8.5. I don't find it useful at all, its noticeable when going around turns quickly, but not much more than stock. Though I've heard lots of good things about them from everyone else, I think they perform much better in...

where are you located at? I know a guy who is closing up shop in my area this month, he's selling all tools plus his dyno. I'm going to try and grab some cheap specific engine tools I've never been able to afford just cuz I know his brother pretty well. If you're anywhere close to Houston it...

the efficiency here would be limited by how lean it's able to run. And that's limited by the materials used, if an all iron engine with forged internals/iron heads, steel rings/head gakset etc it should be able to reach a certain amount of air fuel ratio that brings combustion just under the...

It's not as bad now as it used to be. I think its because I have a lot of other projects and things goin on in life. I remember in high school I would spend half the day on a weekend waxing the car and getting it all perfect (even though half the paint was worn). And I mean perfect, waxing...

Hey roger, thanks for those tips. But what I'm thinking of is reproducing something that Smokey created at some point. The system preheated fuel to around 200-250 degrees from an engine coolant/water coil around the fuel lines. It used that fuel (a lower pressure will heat easier/not fuel...

sort of, but not really. Diesel times the entry of fuel and ignites it with pressurized (high temp) air near TDC in the combustion chamber. Smokey's idea (which worked) is to run a 4 cycle gas engine with spark until it gets to x temperature (over the point of preignition of a normal engine)...

I must've found their race version of those heads. you mean something like this? -> http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NAL-25534421/ edit those will work perfect, you'll be able to run a decent sized cam maybe around 9.5-10 compression and a 270-280 cam. good price too, jegs has them for 500$...

you have the specs on those heads you want to use? a quick google showed some good flowing 185cc heads with 46cc chambers :shock: please tell me they have another style

not as experienced as some guys on here but have built a 383 (except clearance the block) and a couple 350s. Next time won't have a machine shop clearance the block after seeing it, its not very difficult. I don't see a 350 living longer at the same revs of a 383 with similar rods (its not a...

Its possible to run an engine on pre-ignition, from reading a lot of smokey yunick's old stuff. His fiero is still up and running today. The concept is to start the engine normally, preheat the fuel to x degrees and keep heating and pressurizing the cylinders to the point of preignition...
