Are there any good Android head units yet?

The problem with using a tablet for anything in a car is that it is typically not designed for the kind of heat that it will experience sitting in a car dash here in AZ. If you build something making sure the tablet can come out easily for those summer days and that it will have some kind of...

Harbor fright floor jacks

Some of their tools are better some are worse, I have seem some newer Craftsman / Snap-on tools that are junk, because of where it is made doesn't hold as much meaning in the quality of the part, Go check it out and test it at the store to get a feel on the quality. And remember just because...

Harbor fright floor jacks

For something 4000lb+ you will for sure want a large heavy duty steel jack.

Harbor fright floor jacks

Does it have to be a made in the US part? Which models have you looked at? what kind of use do you plan on using it for? Truck? car? lowered? stock height? As said the Big Red Costco jack is a good unit, heavy but works great. Some have had good luck with HF jacks while others have not, the...

Anyone up for a drive in AZ? August 24th.

Maybe this was the motivation I needed to build the coilovers I have spec'd out and install my Front Koni's. I still need those Quick Steer Roll Correction I need also. Nice to meet a few other car enthusiasts besides the local volvo nuts. Once we get a few more of their cars running I...

Spark Plugs with the wrong gap

If you are sure the gap is wrong I would spend the time and effort and re-gap them correctly. You can put way to much strain on the ignition system and cause parts to wear out prematurely, nevermind risk of random misfires, bad mpg and overall running bad.

Koenigsegg developing engine with independently controlled valves *VIDEO*

I liked how they were able to retrofit and older engine to use this tech and prove results vs a conventional setup. Goes to show that with enough money and brains you can do really pimp stuff

Anyone up for a drive in AZ? August 24th.

Well I do have two, and I help hot rod them for locals. When I had time I used to build 3" downpipes and full exhausts for them (I think I have sold 60+ of them). I still make and sell chips for them and do a little bit of tuning on the stock fuel management. I have built a few...

Good deal or should I keep lookin (2013 Mustang v6 premium)? UPDATE: BOUGHT!

I would see if they could offer you a bit more of a warranty over the trade in $. When parts go bad that extra money on the warranty would mean a lot more. Go look at other dealers and the private market and see if you can find a better deal to try to pressure them into offering you a good...

Can you REALLY know if a catalytic converter is bad...

If you are getting that error code and there is a temp difference in the cat (you should measure at the front of the cat and then at the back of the cat) is less than 80-90+degF between the front and rear then good chances are the cat is bad. The rear of the cat should be 80+ deg F hotter than...

Anyone up for a drive in AZ? August 24th.

Just drove back by and for sure they are still closed out for fuel. If you need E85 I know of 3 other locations (since my 744 runs on E85 only) somewhat off the 10 (Chandler, Tempe and Scottsdale) that still have it. For those of us on the East side is pretty much sticks since Apache Sands...
