    best way to ship an engine?

    Call around to some of the motor freight companies. You could probably have it picked up for half of that amount.

    ForcedTorque's Slick/Quick Build

    I finally have an update that I am happy to post!!!!!!!!! IT RUNS!!!!!!!! It doesn't run great yet, because my intercooler piping is pure shit. I have some cracked up stock piping and some 2 1/2" piping with the larger couplers, and it leaks like a sieve. I still have to helicoil the bolt...

    weird problem

    I hate to be the dick that runs in here to say "Search". But, I don't know the answer, and it is a common problem. The answer is around here somewhere.

    Hood latch

    Do yourself a favor, and be sure the problem is not at the pull handle inside the car FIRST. It's more likely that it would come out of that before it would at the hood end. That's so much easier to fix

    Wiring Harness question, UPDATED

    Here is the thread that I followed when re-pinning mine. I relied heavily on the post from 92TealSupra, and instant messaging with him on AIM. He never chimed in until page 2. First, even though both 89 and 90 are both grey plugged, they are not the same, as you have found out. The biggest...

    I would like to sale this <whatever>.

    Nash has gotten 500% better over the years. He's a pretty intelligent guy, although it does not look that way in the written word. Then/Than drives me nuts on here. I believe it is misused 3 to 1 on this forum.

    Police perception amongst the general public.

    I'd say I have used this approach 6-7 times with very good success. All but one of them were interstate stops, as I used to log 100,000+ miles a year at work alone for several years. One of the stops was in town, and I was only doing 8 MPH over. I was successful with that one. I also got away...

    Police perception amongst the general public.

    So, if you were to stop me (not knowing me from Adam) for speeding, and I politely asked you "Please sir, may I have a warning", how would you handle this situation? I have done personal research on this one.

    Police perception amongst the general public.

    Over the years, I have personally known about 6 cops. 5 of the 6 have all told me the same story that I view as horrid. The other 1 seemed to be the genuine good guy like yourself Dunkel. The 5 all seperately told me the story of going into the projects, and cruising until someone starts to run...

    Is there any other reason for this timing problem?

    Done, and everything lined up first try when done in this order. Still no start. This could be due to a number of things. I'm in the middle of putting the car back to stock. I have to helicoil a thermostat housing bolt, so once I know it will run properly, the CPS will be coming back out. I...

    Is there any other reason for this timing problem?

    Will do JJ...Thanks. But, isn't there a difference between the 2 strokes that I should also pay attention to? I am good enough to follow the advise of trusted guys around here, but full understanding has never been with me. I'm not scared to do much of anything to this motor anymore with the...

    Is there any other reason for this timing problem?

    First let me say I'm an idiot, so that will be out of the way, and won't be needed to cloud the thread. I tried to search the technical section on timing, but I got either "no matches found" or matches across the entire forum. PROBLEM I have timed my motor a few times, and understand what I...

    FedEx/UPS delivery question...

    Very, Very True Theresa! But, in the world we live in today there is more corruption than a little bit. Mattsplat posted the rules that a FedEx driver is "supposed" to abide by. There is no way in hell that those rules are followed in the real world we live in. I don't believe in paying off a...

    speedometer doesnt work...

    I'd pull the cluster again and be sure you did nothing wrong in your previous work. If it worked before, and now it doesn't, it would make sense that maybe it didn't seat properly or something. You will need to remove the cluster to check the cable anyway. Turn it at the top, and check that it...

    CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE!!!!!! please help asap

    Drop the tranny support, to allow the motor and tranny to tilt back. Once you have created a little more room, use 18+ inches of extension and swivel to reach the top bolts. I'm not too familiar with the 1J, but the 7M has the possibility of the clutch fan contacting the radiator like this. Keep...
