    1996 Red Clear Taillights Yes its true!

    see the deal was i wanted blue dome lights, so i tried a few different methods, one of which was to use blue marker on the bulbs, which turned brown, then i used the stained glass paint to paint the bulbs, thats when they caught on fire, so NOT a normal thing, dont worry about it

    Plug Wire Question

    i wouldnt reccomend altering the wires unless you know what youre doing and have the equip for it, you need those wires to be as reliable as possible

    Why BOSCH plugs not rrecommended

    I have $500... what to do?? nitro??

    the difference between the delta and the regular is that the regular will give you more sound, but the delta supposedly gives more hp and torque. if i was you i would go with the delta, and might even consider a 50 series if you dont want too loud as far as duals are concerned, you should...

    I have $500... what to do?? nitro??

    ha ha, this is a funny argument!!! nitromethane is not an additive, its the fuel itself, also referred to as alcohol. they are for completely different engines, drag and funnycars use them. you would blow a few rings in the ex if you tried it also, N2O, nitrous oxide, is NOT the same...

    Air Intake Query (open air element, KKM, cold air intake)

    this can be done on any model im sure, just no exactly the same way. the cold air in MLB2Nights ride was my plan (in fact, we share the explorer, so its mine as well) its actually very simple and does give some crazy gains, although we havent had it dyno'd. he will get some pics when we get...

    Air Breather?

    thats a valve cover breather, they are really for older cars that use an aftermarked air cleaner, like i have on the torino. those ones you have pictured there are very very cheesy looking, and if you really wanted one i would suggest getting a higher quality one from jegs.com or another...

    What to do about exhaust?

    the only thing i am concerned about with the dumping exhaust is that the fumes will get into the passenger compartment, and that the escaping fumes will damage the paint where it comes out. there will be a LOT of emissionless exhaust going through there, so, i dont know if i can pull that off

    What to do about exhaust?

    thats cool man, i was just defending my ride. anyway, im redoing the whole exhaust soon, still trying to decide if i want to keep the packs, do some flows, or a flowtech warlock muffler that you can uncap and run right out of the muffler. the thing i like about packs on a big engine is...

    What to do about exhaust?

    first of all, they are not cherry bombs, they are thrush 28 inch glasspacks, the original muffler of muscle second of all, ricers dont use glasspacks, they use performance mufflers, that dont have any fiberglass at all third of all, it is foolish to assume that a 1.8 liter civic with a...

    Drilled or cut out air box

    it is fun to try all the different things and keep track, thats what i did, and now i know what its like each stage, and can notice each performance increase (or decrease) its a simple thing to do, and is very advantageous, so have fun!!

    Spark Plug Changing Cost?

    this may not help you much, but it cost me $70 to have them install all my plugs and wires in my 98 sohc, but it was a jungle in there. usually you can go to a car mechanic and ask, im sure they wont charge much for 3 plugs
