    Question for the ECX guys - Logo

    I know you guys got an order of shirts with the attached logo made up. Well I was wanting to get some made up for the KC club. And due to a lack of coming up with anything better that appeals to both the off-road and street crowd, I would like to know if I could have permission to print the...

    What's the cheapest way to do an American flag paint job?

    I was kicking around the idea of doing an American flag paint job on my 2 door Explorer. The maroon paint on it now is pretty faded and scratched up. I wonder if anybody else knows if it can be done cheaply. I'm talking rattle can paint or something like that. I don't have any painting...

    Still spitting out coolant vapor after new Heater Core

    I've done my share of heater cores. And now I'm on my second one in the Ex. I swapped it out fine, new thermostat even and new 50/50 coolant. And it even blows out plenty of heat wear as before it didn't. But the problem is that it's still visably spitting out that vapor from the vents and...

    Is this TDC?

    I'm doing the timing chain on my '91 Ex. The 2 shop manuals I have do not make it very clear at all how to get to TDC. This is what I think TDC is right now. The pointer is right at the "0". The manual makes it seem like that missing tooth is TDC, and they want that missing tooth...

    Has anyone actually replaced a timing chain in a 4.0L push rod?

    Well I'm 99% mine is shot. Or at least stretched out beyond it's normal limits. My '91 has got right around 208,000 miles on it. The valve train was completly replaced about 20 or 30,000 miles ago and has been running fine. However I didn't know at the time the timing chain was an...

    idea on cutting the front bumper

    I know there are at least a couple of guys here that have cut their front bumper down so it won't rub on the early model Explorers. I had an idea since every time I see a bumper that's cut like that it still has the exposed metal and doesn't look "too" good. I was thinking to cut of the...

    My new Porsche Message Board

    Well I thought I'd shamelessly pimp out my own site. I recently bought a 1991 Porsche 944S2. So while trying to find out about the cars on the internet I never once found a message board like this one. Not even close. So I deceided to make my own and I am just spreading the word. So if you...

    timing chain?

    I've done some searching and didn't really find an answer to my question. Is there anyway to "check" the tension on a timing chain without actually tearing all the accesories off the front and actually looking at it? I fear mine is very loose. The engine has about 200K miles on it and...

    These aren't from my truck, but rather a friends '97 F150. Apperently he was just driving and then a loud pop came from the engine. The pictures show the plug that lost it's tip. The bad part is that the rest of the plug is still somewhere in the engine. They've called the auto parts store...

    A4LD and the governor? Where is it?

    I've done lots of searching regarding our beloved A4LD tranny. My problem is that it has a hard time shifting into 2nd when within the first few miles wile it's cold. Once it warms up it's fine. I found a link that talks about somebody and their problem with the A4LD and it's almost like...
