    Clutch pedal pulsates?

    I noticed after having an underdrive pulley installed and my headers, exhausts, h/f cats that when the car is cold and idling, and my clutch is pushed in, I feel it pulsate. Not vibrating, but actually pulsating a bit. As the car warms up, it eventually pretty much goes away (pretty much but not...

    How much horsepower do you lose when you leave AC on? Dyno ???

    I had my car dyno'd today. It was a hot day, car was running hot from the drive, etc. It dyno's at 434 RWHP which they even said was low. They thought it should be at 450 RWHP with the mods. When I drove the car, I noticed the AC was still on like it was when I brought it in. If by chance...

    West Coast Viper

    They are gods. They really are. I just had a few things added on, and I feel like I am on top of the world now. I like driving next to someone with a rolled down window on the freeway and just stepping on it now. Makes them jump. They get angry and I get happy. I have power now, because of West...

    Are headers and exhaust illegal in California?

    I just had BB headers, High Flow cats and BB exhaust installed. Man... they have to be illegal. I can't imagine me stepping on it and any cop within ear shot not giving me a ticket. I love how it sounds but I know I am going to get a ticket if they are illegal... So are they? Mike

    San Diego/Temecula OHMYASP

    Grey RT/10 with OHMYASP license plate - are you on the board? Your car looks really nice. It is funny, I saw you coming up in the rear view mirror, and your car made me excited like Vipers used too. I see my car, and it doesn't look any different than the Honda it is parked next too. I guess I...

    Question about removing cats

    I have removed the muffler on an otherwise stock GTS. If I also remove the cats, will it be: 1. Just a louder car... it sounds the same just alot louder or 2. A more "aggressive" sounding car... although it is louder, the pitch is also deeper Any HP gains? Thanks

    Supercharged vs. Naturally Aspirated

    I was looking at one of the vendor's websites tonight, and I noticed the S/C was $7495, while the naturally aspirated beefed up motor was $16k. I am guessing that the S/C puts out just as much if not more HP. So what is the benefit of spending 2 times the amount on a naturally aspirated motor...

    How much is a FE shifter worth?

    Do you guys think that a FE shifter knob has any value, or am I better off just keeping it so I can hit my neighbor's dog with it when I get mad? I know I will never use it again, but I would prefer not to sell it unless I can get a few hundred for it. Thanks, Mike

    Gears... who has 1/4 mile times vs stock?

    I want to know if getting 3.55 gears will actually MAKE your car faster, or only make it feel faster. Anyone run the 1/4 with 3.07 and then run it with 3.55 - all else being the same? Thanks, Mike

    How do you do a 180 degree burnout

    I was wondering how you drive really fast, then suddenly slam on the breaks in the middle of the road and do a 180 degree flip in direction while smoking your tires at the same time and not crashing. I have seen this done in movies. Hopefully Joe117 knows the answer. Thanks, Mike

    Car Fax is BS

    I am leasing a Lexus IS300. I had it for two weeks, and then like a moron I crashed it head on into a big tree. Originally, the damage was estimated at $14,000. After 4 months went by, and all was said and done, it had cost over $26,000. The insurance company paid for everything. I was told...

    Difference on 2.5" vs 3" exhausts and tubes

    Difference on 2.5\" vs 3\" exhausts and tubes How do you determine what size tubing you need? Is 3" tubing (I call it tubing, I don't know what it is called, I am stoopid) only for high HP cars, such as cars with S/C or TT? Thanks, Mike

    AC/Fan turns off when stepping on gas?

    Is this normal? If I am in low RPM, and the fan inside is blowing, or the AC is blowing, if I step on it, suddenly it stops blowing until I take my foot off the gas. Originally I thought it was blowing HOT air into my car, but have discovered it justs feels like hot air is being blown in once...

    How do you smoke your tires and stay in the same place?

    I watch vids of you guys lighting up the rear tires, but you are not moving an inch forward. How do you do that? Mike

    Do you guys ever get drunk because you know when you are...

    You'll buy stuff for your car that you would not normally buy when you are sober... but you want them? I do. I want that carbon fiber dash from West Coast Vipers. I am going to drink a lot tonight, and then buy it. That is the plan. Mike

    Black Viper with Silver stripes at Ontario Mills - U should be ASHAMED

    If you are the owner of the black GTS with silver stripes at the Ontario Mills mall today, you should be ASHAMED of yourself. That was absolutely the dirtiest Viper I have ever seen in my life. Looks like you have not washed it for more than 3 months. Plus you parked it so close to everyone else...

    Do I have forged pistons or cast iron?

    Did I even ask the question correctly? I have a 2002 GTS that I would like to get S/C some day. Do I have the better pistons, or is that something I need to spend more money on... Also - What does it mean when something is blue printed opposed to not being blue printed? Thanks, Mike

    T&D Roller Rockers - How much HP gain will I get?

    I am considering buying these. I have an otherwise stock engine. I just ordered smooth tubes, high flow air filters, and have a muffler delete on a 2002 GTS FE. What will the T&D rockers do for me? Would I be better off buying headers and high flow cats at this time? Thanks (If someone...

    This says it is better than K&N - what do you think?

    I just bought them anyway. Figured what the hell. But it says it is better than K&N and gives the reasons. Any of you HP guys think this is true? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=33659&item=2470485508&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWN%3AIT Mike

    How do you take off the shift knob?

    I have the FE knob on my GTS. I am pretty strong. I lift weights, I flex my biceps daily and tell my wife to squeeze and she is always impressed. But I cannot twist off the gearshift knob. I have tried twisting to the left (righty tighty lefty loosy) so hard that my car has actually rotated to...

    Why are my tips turning "gold"?

    Why are my tips turning \"gold\"? I had my muffler removed, and straight pipes installed. The muffler shop put magnaflow tips on the pipes. Now they are turning a brassy, goldish color. Will something like Tarn X remove that, or is it actually changing the color of the metal? Why? Mike

    Someone buy this from me

    This is my first ebay listing for selling something... (well kinda, I was going to sell a digital camera but one of my members at work wanted it so I unlisted it) But I want someone to buy it. Even if you buy it for $0.10. Just buy it and give me a good rating. It'll add excitement to my life...

    Will "Overwaxing you car" hurt?
