    Buying a budget tire, anyone tried these? (I picked/purchased already, thanks guys)

    The firestones are solid tires, the only complaints i ever heard about them is road noise, but more on sedans.(edit: its mostly sedan drivers who complain, performance drivers know that performance tires will make some noise) they grip nice and wear well and are relatively inexpensive. I sell...

    Fuel Return Goes to What??

    patchwork on a fuel line might not be a good idea, just my .02 Remember, fuel is flammable. Not worth the risk... and yea, its also expensive. Just get the right hose

    Crazy job stories... Let's hear em!

    I work in automotive repair. Sinsha is a customers favorite word. Since ya did my alignment my check engine light came on. Since ya did my oil change my car pulls right. Since ya changed my spark plugs the steering wheel vibrates at 60mph. *sigh* people are very annoying sometimes.

    inspection question

    wells, ya gotta do something to pass emissions, you're very close on hc's. Id grab some cheap ngk copper plugs and throw them in there... they're like a couple bucks a plug... and if it works, great.

    inspection question

    Doubt a boost leak is the problem, the load test for emissions is a 50/15 i believe... 50% load at 15mph, i doubt it'll be in boost, likely under 20+ inches of Hg of vacuum. If there was a boost leak under vacuum like that it'd be lean if anything, it basically cruises on the dyno.

    inspection question

    Hydrocarbons are unburned fuel. Do you have the fuel pressure raised? How old is your 02 sensor? How are the spark plugs? Wires? What are your mods? Did they run it without warming up the car?

    Charging issue...

    I wouldnt try to check for current draw with your multimeter, you'll likely blow the fuse, and its only one small part of what you need to know. just take it to a shop and have them use a VAT machine to test everything. It doesn't cost much and you'll know its right. We charge 29.99 to do a...

    Aged Tires = Death ?

    It is required by law for every tire to have a valid DOT # with a date on it on one side of the tire. If you have directional tires, 2 of the 4 you wont see the date on because they're flipped. Responsible auto shops have a good rotation of tires and return tires to the warehouse when they are...

If i can get the reaction time down to like .5 and take a half a second off my 60' i can be around 13.8 or...
