I’ve got a 08 wr250r, its an amazing bike there is no other Japanese bikes comparable. I’m the only Asian bike amongst my group, and the smallest displacement, but I have no problems keeping up. The guys love my bike because it’d quiet, for covert shortcuts. I personally thought the wrr was too street biased in stock…

Easy V12 to the dumpster, Small Block goes back in.

Same Had 2 of these. Great car for tall guys. I did and still do nearly all my vehicles work, but F’ that oil Filter, I pay someone to do it.

“No replacement for Displacement” still exists. If you can’t see it, I think your blind. Yeah twin turbo E85 Methanol four cylinders can turn big numbers, but don’t hold together nearly as long as a big block making the same performance. Why be high strung and stressed when you can casually turn big numbers on pump…

Is that a cup holder on the front? or is that the pull cord to start the Briggs and Stratton engine swap. I here those motor’s double the HP over stock civics in that year model.

I remember when they were first releasing the ‘15 mustangs and they said Ford performance would put out a kit to trash the junky IRS and replace it with a 9in, so hopefully they trickle down this kit finally. If I was in the market for a mustang, which I’m not I don’t like the new ones, I would have a serious beef…

My buddy had a Z24 5spd beater with studded snow tires, thing was a blast. Rev to the roof, and power thru 1.5-2ft of snow, drift allover. Car was awesome. Made me love Cavaliers. Now anything other than that Quad4 5spd version, you won’t catch me dead in it.

Karb Kings Rockabilly Rumble Fredericksburg Virginia. First year in 3 it hasn’t rained.

I’m talking perception, but yeah maybe the Chevette was a bad example, Cavalier probly more comparable. personally we had a Chevette that was bullet proof as well, jumped it, ran through fences, fields, powerslides, damn thing was nigh indestructible, a blast of a little car. I remember jumping it like 6ft in the air…

Its definetly a perception. I worked around various shops and in the used auto part industry. Its amazing what we’ve had to do or sold for all kinds of vehicles being told “its a common problem, or all cars have this issue.” Sometimes it is, alot of times its not. Japanese and American vehicles are about the same…

Harrisonburg/Charlottesville VA are my Local Craigslists, but Anywhere in Appalachia is great Craigslist hunting. Always seems to be a never ending supply of vintage iron flowing the mountains, hollows and valleys. Everything from model A bodies, to restored Packards, even saw late 50’s era Opels a while back looked…

Yeah I’ve got a 200 Ford with 2bbl Holley, DUI dizzy, and it makes a huge difference, while its no V8 its still night day difference in power/perforamnce.

Yep, America was built on the back of the Inline Six. Tons and tons built till the 80’s. Cool thing is there are performance parts availble now for these orphaned workhorse engines. Its fairly easy to to go 100%-150% the power these engines came with, without boost. Being workhorse engines, American Inline sixes were…

And yet all the Z’s up till the 300 could be outrun by a Pickup truck. My dads buddy owned a Nissan dealership, and they raced em against my dads IH Scout, and they lost everytime. Turns are a different story, and on that not taking the Z offroad would also be a different story.

Talking to the guy at most of the parts store is useless around my area. Luckily Federated Autoparts is based in the next town over. They are the only ones to talk to. Autozone/Advanced/O’reilys are absolute useless unless they can punch it in a computer. Advanced the worst of the three, Its closest to me, but I won’t…

Depends on the car. Oh You bought an oddball Japanese car for cheap with some serious issues, yeah sorry about your luck, but I’m not touching it. You’d be hard pressed to let me allow any Japanese or German POS even roll into my bay. Made that mistake once, never again. Alot of times I provide tools, and knowledge to…

Having built several rods/custom/been involved in many uilding takes vision, and dedication to finish. Craigslist and Racing J

Just go buy one and start. It’ll be in the driveway when he comes home from work. Tell him your doing this, and he can help or watch you ask other guys for help. If he’s not elbows deep by the end of the night call me.

Hell Yeah, Great pair you got there. Beautiful.

As long as you can get the ranger over here in the USA with a gas motor and not some crummy diesel I will be happy.
