Re: mis-fire when it rains?!? 'dope'!!

Hey I IM'd you. It's definetly cap and rotor, I had same the problem. Dont bother replacing the wires because they cost like $100 and that was the first thing I did, and it didn't fix the problem, a cap and rotor is only like $45 or so.

Re: Question about sub postion

From my experiences, subs/ports pointed to the rear of the car. My bandpass box < 2 boston 10"s> sounds best this way in my mx-3. Sounded best the same way in my protege. My buddy has a 12" soundstream mule <sealed box> in his '89 nissan 240sx <sr20det swapped> and it sounds best pointed b...

Re: I need to get this sticker off!

If it's on paint on the body, use an eraser wheel for sure, but if it's on your bumper or something plastic thats painted do not use an eraser wheel. Before i discovered the magical eraser wheel i just used High pressure wand wash and then WD40 to get the remaining glue off....

Re: A-Pillar Gauge Pod Group Buy Pictures

So now i just say a precidia and then there like oooooh a precidia....so who makes th...
