    exhaust rusted thru

    Hi, 18 months ago i got a custom exhaust system built by a local muffler shop. I supposedly got aluminized tubing and muffler. Now i take it to get inspected and it won't pass because its full of holes. I find this completely unacceptable since my dad and brother both have alumized tube...

    Midas lifetime brakes

    I just saw a commercial for midas saying that they have a lifetime guarentee on brakes. I do need new brakes and for 100 dollars it seems like a good deal if since i'd never have to put any more money into my brakes. Just seems like there is a catch. Usually those places try to rip you off by...

    gears or tires first

    Well I got my 30x9.5 mud tires mounted today and i have to say I'm glad I decided to go with them instead of the 31's I do have some power loss in 3rd gear and above and the 30's do look really good and get great traction in the mud. I have pics if anyone wants to see

    Buying a second car...need advice

    Yeah I have to say at this point I'm leaning towards the tiburon. Although definatly not the same quality as the acura, I can get a v6 and leather for several thousand less. Plus I'm not gonna be keeping this car for more than a few years until I can afford a new mustang.

    gears or tires first

    gears or tires first

    anyone else have the experience of ruining clutches from running 31s with 3.27 and the 5 speed. Also wouldn't 4.10 gears be much to0 low, I was using the calculator i found at the ranger station,here It said 3.55 would be back to normal and 3.73s would be a little lower than stock.

    gears or tires first

    gears or tires first

    I have installed a 2 inch lift and am about to make the next purchase in my "build up". I know that with 31 inch tires i would have to go to about 3.73 gears to get back to normal. Since I'm in college and on a limited budget I can only afford to get either the tires or the gears now. So...
