I was wondering if some people could help answer some quesitons about putting an AWD car on a FWD dyno. If you have a welded center diff can you just drop the transfer case since it does the same thing as a VCE? What is the HP limit you can put through an AWD car in FWD mode? I know that Tapp...

Okay so this is on my girl friends 90 TSI Talon and it all started when she snapped her timing belt. Well when it snapped it bent all of the exhaust valves at the same time so I found a head at a local shop that was suppose to be rebuilt; so I replaced the head on her car with this one. At the...

Since no one responded to my last thread about a twin disk clutch I will ask about my current clutch. I have an ACT 2900 with street disk and was wondering what kind of torque it can hold. I don't want to be replacing disks or pressure plates half way through the year so do you think it could last?
I am going with an external oil cooler in my car and I was wondering on the 90 style filter housing which hole (closer to the block or closer to the rad)would feed the oil cooler and which one would have the cooler oil return through it. The reason I ask is I have my oil cooler set up with one...
I am putting on a set of fidanza cam gears and on the gear where the bolt goes there is a sticker that say torque to 40-45 in lbs. Thinking this is some what low I looked in my manual and it say torque to 65 ft lbs. Now that is a big difference so I wanted to make sure which one was right before...
I have heard from people a few things on this dilema. One that you need to use an injector driver box to use that large of an injector as the factory resistor box will be over worked. Another is that the EMS and factory set up will handle the big injectors. And the last is that you don't need an...

I know that strokers don't need massive ports jobs and oversized valves but what work needs to be done to maximize your set up. I will be running a built 2.4L with a custom AGP T3/T4 T67 turbo and all supporting mods. Would oversized valves help or standard be fine? What cams would you go with...

I am getting ready to take the engine out of my car and right now I am going through the engine bay to try and clean things up. I noticed that there are 2 (vacume?) lines going right behind the rad that are disconnected. The go from the drivers side where they are cut, across the engine bay...

I am about to out my sisters laser back together and have a question regarding the tensioner. My dad was picking up a new tensioer and he told that you need a secial tool to make sure that the tensioner pulley is in the correct position. The tool is like $150 so that is out of the question. What...

I am wondering how much a set of black leather seats from a 99GSX would sell for. When I get my new car I will be selling the front and rear seats as a package and want to know a good asking price. The seats are in mint condition.
What are your thoughts on each on these two coiler overs? The Skunk2 are about $100 cheaper but if the Ground Conrol's are built that much better and worth the extra $100 then I don't mind paying it.
What are your opions on the best street tires out. I know there is a sticky about this but it is 2 years old and it doesn't cover all brands so what are some of your guys opinions?
