    Strange phone call last night

    Re: It is a crime in the US to provide the false invoice. common practice. in some contries there are no "bluebooks" and the taxable value is determined by the documented sale price. if he pays you what you agree upon under the table- i dont see a problem. alex few cars

    Another shameless plug for Tator

    I guess it was way overdue, but better late then never... Cliff notes: Chuck replaced my 02 rearend and was very happy with his service. My 02 GTS had developed a whiney rearend. The funny part was that this was exactly how I remember it when I picked my brand new 02.. or not.. I was to...

    BUY MY VIPER - ONLY $4,900!!!

    educate yourselves on "phishing"... a "legitimate" email comes from ebay/chase/washington mutual (i've seen it all) asking you to go an update your info (or take action on your account in some form). they also provide "conviniently" a link which looks legit, but if you look in the page code it...

    HP vs. RPM & Torque vs. RPM

    hp is calculated from tq. as such (like somebody already mentioned) they always have the same value at 5252 rpms. simply put, hp is the ability to maintain tq over higher rpms. if your engine breaths right, has a light "cranktrain" and valvetrain, it will maintain torque at high rpms thus...

    Tell me why you want large 4-piston Brembo/StopTech/SRT *REAR* calipers?

    Re: Lots of Info Here on the original subject- i know the theory, but in practice i have never found the rears to be of any significance (except for maintaining chassis posture/balance during braking). for all i care- they could be drums and braking will still be the same (heat radation/fade...

    HELP!!! - Loosing Gas Mileage On My Daily Driver

    it is not the gas. colder weather= denser air = more oxygen = more fuel = more power- notice your civic grew slightly bigger balls in the cold weather? :) also, colder weather = slower warmups = logner injector cycles until warmup = more fuel used. its normal. alex few cars

    >> Thieves trying to steal my Viper out of my garage last night! <<

    nobody opens a garage with a cracked-code remote. the garage opener is simply too noisy. the door is opened by hand- slowly and silently- unless they are bolted from inside- then they use a portable hydrolic jack to "unbolt" them. nothing can resist a hydrolic jack- locks, bolts... they all will...

    THIS GUY TRIED TO SCAM ME THROUGH THE VIPER FORUM!!!

    wow. they are improving. the check looks legit, yet it is a fake (i am 100% positive on that). since this is somewhat along my lines of duty, i will summarize the tell-tales: you match 1 criteria of the ones below- the deal is 75% scam. you match two- it is 125% scam: out of the us...

    UNSOLVED MIStery. For those who want a challenge, I need major help.

    you sure your tach is accurate? they are kinda slow- mine at idle can hit the rev limited at indicated 5500 rpms.. however, i know it is really at 6000 rpms.. other than that- as i said before- see if your fuel pump voltage fluctuates, and replace all injectors (one at a time if you wish) with...

    UNSOLVED MIStery. For those who want a challenge, I need major help.

    dont know and i dont think it matters in this case (i assume you should go lean btw). your pressure depends only on your fuel system and nothing else. your problems (as i see them ) might be: 1. fuel pump (replace to test). 2. fuel pump relay (replace to test) 3. sticking injector(s)- test...

    UNSOLVED MIStery. For those who want a challenge, I need major help.

    nothing in the front should affect your fuel pressure (as somebody else mentioned). so it is something in the fuel supply system- you might have a bad impeller in your fuel pump that cavitates and loses pressure. the wild fuel pressure is very indicative of such activity. its fuel. alex few cars

    2 kills tonight

    a 1k gixxer in the 9s would be a sight to see. most experienced riders run 10.5 or so... a zx12r/ busa is a 9.9 and that is with a pro rider. from a roll.. its a different story. even the newer 600 can put up a good fight up to about 150.. and the liter bikes are untouchable unless you have...
