    Rear Window Latch Adjustment

    i too had an issue with this. it only really happened when my subs hit, so i took some weather stripping and went around the edge of the window with it. it makes a tight close, sometimes you have to push against a bit, but no more rattles. yours sounds like it might be looser than mine was...

    55mph, apten downshifts and im pinging the 'rev limiter'

    im not against doing the work myself, but all i have is a patch of dirt across the street where i can work on my truck. jacking it up can be a bit scary, being soft ground and all, even if i lay down wood first. they said it's 2234 for a replacement core and whatever else they need. i have...

    55mph, apten downshifts and im pinging the 'rev limiter'

    just got a call from the transmission shop. apparently i snapped my overdrive shaft, destroying everthing in my transmission. its gonna be $2234.00 to fix. i think it might be time to say bye bye to the x :(

    55mph, apten downshifts and im pinging the 'rev limiter'

    got it towed (free) today by the transmission shop. all they said was it was an internal problem (big suprise) and tomorrow a friend of mine gets off vacation, so he'll drop it and tear it apart. :(

    55mph, apten downshifts and im pinging the 'rev limiter'

    id be nice if that was the problem, i cant afford to drop 1.2k+ on a rebuild kit/labor. i imagine there's a few threads on this? ill try searching, but if you know of one, it'd be great if you could respond w/ it =]

    55mph, apten downshifts and im pinging the 'rev limiter'

    sorry about that, i was a bit tired at the time. so my tranny downshifted, and now its "stuck" in neutral. no drive shaft movement at all. a while back my 4wd dissapeared, so im hoping this might be a transfer case problem, as opposed to the death of my transmission. im gonna have it...

    i need to make 6.5's fit...

    they weigh 3lbs 1.8oz each, so i guess i should go with 3/4". and if its a fitting problem, i could always sand it down a bit. thanks for the quick replies

    i need to make 6.5's fit...

    thanks guys.. they are for the front, but i have a rear door in my dinning room (dont ask) and it doesnt seem to be too hard of a fit, but im sure its harder than it looks. i guess ill go and get some mdf... but the question is.. who should i listen to? is it 1/2 or 3/4?

    i need to make 6.5's fit...

    ive searched and couldnt find my answer. i suppose i should give you guys the question now... I recently got some alpine type-r's (6.5) and i cant find any adaptors to fit. ive read you had to make your own. does anyone have any ideas? i dont have many tools (rotozip, dremel, drill...

    your thoughts on buying premodded cars...

    thanks, that's definatly a mistake he doesnt want to make. ill be sure to remind him of the dangers that may come of this, but i think his hearts set on this car. im pretty sure he plans on getting it looked at while hes down there, and hes bringing a friend who's had two probes and has done a...

    your thoughts on buying premodded cars...

    yeah, i cant wait until he gets this thing home. right now he has a tbird super coupe and that thing blows me away. moving from a 14.9 sec to a 12.9 sec car is a pretty big leap, its going to be awesome. *note* this was supposed to be a poll but i couldnt find the button =/

    your thoughts on buying premodded cars...

    a friend of mine is driving down to KY to buy a 1996 probe gt for $11,000. now you might ask, a probe for $11k? yeah, well it has some stuff done to it, giving it around 300whp and running 12's on street tires. heres the link. http://forums.probetalk.com/showthread.php?t=1701092154 his mod...

    then new Kicker Solo-Baric l7?

    for one, the size is pretty rediclous, and impraticle. weight is another factor. if i were to do it again, id probably go with a smaller and/or sealed box for sq purposes. when that thing hits hard it can get pretty distorted. meh, highsight is 20/20 i guess. all that aside, im very happy...

    then new Kicker Solo-Baric l7?

    as my sig says, i have 2 of last years 12" l7's in a huge ported box. i probably should have gone another route with them, but w/ the kx1200.1 amp it destroys everything, ear drums, car alarms, etc. i cant even listen to them turned up 1/2 way w/o pain. im pretty happy with them though. i...

    unhappy with performance

    yeah, thats what i thought. sure backpressure can hinder performance, but shouldnt no backpressure = no torque? which would explain me not being able to spin tires even in the rain. *shrug*

    unhappy with performance

    i tried some seafoam not long ago, and i didnt get nearly any white smoke. i aso didnt notice much of a difference. i used about 3/4 of it on my intake and i the rest went into gas. the "race" was on the highway at a 65mph roll. we tried it a few times, he went as soon as he heard my...
