    new ebay intake with mods

    Yeah mine was an ebay cheapy from cartoka. $100 shipped and it only took 4 days to get here. Yeah even the guy at cartoka told me the filter it came with is junk and I should replace it. What ever filter I go with it's going to be a dry flow I hate dealing with the cleaner and then oiling.

    h.i.d prob, please help

    I'm assuming you have a "plug and play" kit and using the ground provided in the bulb socket. Scratch that ground and run a ground for the ballast straight to the body. If you don't mind loosing your drl's you can try the wire cutting method and see if that works. Both are easy solutions and...

    cooling system question

    Over flowing from where? I let it run for a good 20 - 30 mins then shut it off with no temp gauge I don't want to risk overheating the engine.

    cooling system question

    This might be a foolish question but my temp gauge is broken. I broke it when i was painting my gauges. Could that be causing my problem. The metal shaft broke and the needle just fell out so i tacked it back in place with hot glue so it wouldn't be missing on the gauges... have been...

    Urg!!!!

    I used to use that spray in repair stuff all the time till I started changing tires and found out how awful that stuff is. I now curse the people who us it. But I do carry a 12v air pump and tire plugs, glue and the tools.

    Urg!!!!

    Thats crazy I work in the off season from my regular job as a tire monkey and it takes like 5 mins to plug a tire, in your case with the tire already off the car it's more like 2 mins. I know where I work if a plug comes in I pretty much stop doing what i'm doing and plug it.
