Re: Custom exhaust - exhaust note question

Yeah, I have a "Frankenstein" exhaust too. It starts like yours, with the awesome CSC headers, then to twin generic hi-flow bottle cats, to an ANSA straight through mid, and a Stebro rear. It runs like mad up top, bit it's too "tinny" and loud. I'm just going to order the Stebro ...

Ester "Shot" - Is it Necessary??

What's the deal with the Ester oil "shot" they refer to when switching over to 134? Does the pre-mix 134 you buy from an auto parts store suffice for sealing and internal lube (aside from the oil compartment itself), or do I really need to fill with 37-38 oz of 134 and then a can of Ester ...

Relieve Pressure

Hi, everyone! When I replaced my expansion tank for the fifth time in nearly as many months 3 years ago, I realized that the biggest problem seemed to come from pressure.

3L Pistons - Can U Recommend?

Well, it's time for a rebuild! A swap, actually. I've located a clean 3L to put into my GTV6, and although a lot of re-build work has already been performed on it, the pistons are suspect, so I need to replace them while it's out of the car. I already have S cams, filter, CSC exhaust, MSD E-coil, et...

Charlie - how's the relay working out? Was it still just that? I have been having some electrical wierdness lately myself, but the symptoms, like yours, make it almost to impossible to diagnose without exhaustive testing. I replaced my combi relay a few years ago, but I might have gotten it off eBay...

Tip for Clearing Drain Holes

I've found that a great way to clear the drains all the way through is to use a length of 8 or 10 gauge electrical wire. The rubber sheeth keeps it from scratching any paint off or dmaging any plastic sections, but the metal wire keeps it both flexible and strong enough to navigate the drain while p...
