    Building 10 sec. car..What does it take?

    Well I've only been doing it for about 12yrs, but that has been done. That's an actual time. I'm not going to argue this point with you. I've seen it and funny thing is it was a GM crate motor, not straight out of the box, but a crate motor non the less. I'm also talking 10.99 not 10.1, but...

    Building 10 sec. car..What does it take?

    ROFL. Sad isn't it. 10.9's in 300rearwhls/3000....Yes As a matter of fact a guy grabbed a .513 light and ran 11.31 in a 3110lb camaro with 257 hp. Proper prep, the right conditions, and some knowledge, and yes you can break into the 10's with 300hp and 3000lbs. Just in case you can't read...

    Electrical System Help

    You need new jumper cables too. A proper jump start doesn't require a battery to charge. A lil off topic.

    starting problem?

    Go to a mechanic on this one. Hard hot starts aren't usually easy to diagnose. Sorry

    K&N air filters.

    A high flow air filter is just a very very small component in the totale package. If you slap an a/f or exhaust or whatever on but neglect other areas you're not going to notice anything. Especially in a truck. I have a 5100lb pickup that i can tell you right now will not transmit any noticeable...

    600hp Evo vs 600hp Cobra, who would win?

    600HP anything vs 600HP anything. No way to tell who will win. Unless there's a ridiculous difference in vehicle weights. Way too many variables not addressed. Gearing, tractoin controls, setup, tire size..... And yes RWD is a better drag racing setup. Too much rotating mass in AWD setups, and...

    Building 10 sec. car..What does it take?

    LMFAO! You can build a 10sec car for 20k or less if you're good. Come to think of it give me the 200k and I'll build you one for 20k and pocket the rest. You need traction not HP. Well you need HP but it does no good when your spinning the tires. You can break into 10's with 300hp in a properly...

    tightening alternator belt...AC makes squeak

    The belt may also be too tight. New belt, proper tension, and some belt dressing. Make sure everything's straight and aligned. Good Luck

    ATTN: Mechanics - A/C problem

    X2....The compressors have a low pressure cut off which won't allow them to turn without refridgerant. No refridgerant-no oil = VERY BAD. If the system isn't charged the comp. won't work. If it does work without a charge something's wrong. It's always the little and obvious things you overlook.

    Which HUs will allow for DVD play while driving?

    You cannot disable the AVIC-N2. It knows when you're moving. The gyro and GPS system won't allow it. You'd get a message stating the E brake wire is connected improperly becuase you're moving with the brake on.

    AVIC-N2 brake workaround

    I have the N2 also and I usually enter my destination before I leave anyways. If it's a destination you use alot then save it and you just have to select it while driving with the DVD in. I don't really see it as a big deal seeing as I don't usually change destinations in the middle of a trip...

    Wiring 2 midbass off 1 crossover

    I actually blew my cx54's that are in the kicks and double ordered a set of cx54's to replace them. So I now have 4 cx54's and figured I'd use the additional set in the doors. I could just sell and/or return them too. I have the X4's and what I'll do is get another set of crossovers and wire...

    Wiring 2 midbass off 1 crossover

    I have a set of ID CSX54's in kicks right now. I'm going to be adding a pair of CX54's in the doors. A SX500.2 powers them right now. My question is this: Can I wire the 2 CX54's off the same crossover or will this damage the crossover? I was planning on wiring the 2 CX54's in to the mid-bass...

    Fedex vs. UPS vs. USPS

    I buy everything online. I've used UPS, FedEx, and USPS. USPS is fastest, cheapest, but have horrible tracking, I've received items Arizona to Massachusetts in 3 days with Priority Mail service. Fedex is 2nd in speed and deliver on Saturdays. UPS is reliable they deliver when they say and I've...
