Re: The Colorado BS thread Hay guise. Did something today that reminded me of the ol Jeepin days. Vid is kinda rough, but maybe you'll enjoy it. 2x speed so you don't fall asleep :) https://youtu.be/X00v2GqmZLo

Hmm, pretty sure I have enough nitrous crap laying around to make a whole kit.

Thanks, it turned out decent, I remember it going easier than planned. Weld, hammer, weld, hammer. The heat seemed to help it go into shape a lot better. If I was going to do it again I'd probably not get hung up on the factory flimsy crap and hang a bunch of tube instead. Maybe even use motor...

Hey guys. Got pinged by Jeff about some oversized motor shenanigans. It was a brute force and dumb luck kind of install. I put a longblock where it looked 'right' then when it was time to dress the thing the power steering pulley cleared the stock fan by 1/2 inch and the ps reservoir cleared the...

Sup.. sorry haven't been on much. Been doing Stang builds on the side these days.. buried as can be, with not much time to spare. Checking pm's now

Re: The Colorado BS thread He wanted to use about 30 nukes across the North. I mean I'm all for total destruction and everything but come on.

Re: The Colorado BS thread Nice shot! Was a bit surprised to see ya there Mike.. not the first time at Clement though, I recall a NAXJA gig in the same lot a few years back. Kiefer, last of the VIN is 205102.. very interested to find out where it went, thanks

I don't know, she went off in an ambulance before I could find out. The CSP has all that info, will call the officer on Monday. Most everything is easy enough to put back to stock except for the built engine. That's gonna suck, I think.

So, I got in a nasty multi-car pileup recently. My car was hit from behind, likely hard enough to total it. The tow yard has it until Monday, I will be picking it up and towing it to my employer's shop to avoid further storage fees. I have full coverage on it, but I was not cited and the car...

I don't know about driveway alignments, a good alignment machine will allow you to set toe to the hundredths of an inch. No way, no how are you going to duplicate that with a tape measure. Trail rig? Crappy old tires? Knock yourself out. Want the tires to last, pay for a real alignment.

What's wrong with the old tube-of-goo method?

Unlikely if not impossible.

Just thought of another, easier test to do first. Disconnect the crank sensor so it won't fire and crank it over for 10 seconds. Cables hot? Replace.

Sure, you're saying it cranks slow so you have to wonder about the power supply. Starters pull a lot of amperage so subpar cables will cause your exact problem. Know how to do a voltage drop? If not, here: use a multimeter, set to V DC. Put the leads on opposite ends of the same cable, IE...

Voltage drop test the cables, refresh grounds, replace cables as needed.
