  1. thanks a lot guys ill have to check into the injen one. seems like that is the best bet. just gotta wait until i get some spare cash.
  2. I have had my si since last october and am looking to put a CAI on it. I have read and heard numerous things. I have heard that a short ram is no good because it might be taking in even hotter air than the stock intake leading to a hp loss. The best thing i have seen so far and have been told about it the Injen. The gains look pretty good and i hear that its suppose to make the engine, especially VTEC louder. My only worry is the possibility of drowning the engine. I have only heard one case of this from a friend who accidently hit a massive puddle. He said it drove home but didnt drive great. I guess he got the water out to problem. But i would rather not have to worry about. If anyone has some feedback or another suggestion please let me know. Much thanks.
  3. me too. thanks man. im going to take the old starter out tomorrow and replace it. hopefully it fixes everything.
  4. i had a power window problem with mine. i had to replace the motor regulator and tracking. the thing is, if it is just your regulator, you have to buy both the motor and the regulator. i had a motor but no regulator and could not find a place that sold it by itself. maybe a junk yard or something would have it.
  5. yup thats the sound alright. i was at the gas station earlier and it grinded real bad and i swear everyone looked at me like i was sitting their grinding gears. looks like im going to have to take out the starter and check it out. thanks guys.
  6. My 96 z28 gets a really bad grinding noise when starting. It only does it sometimes. Mainly when it is cold. I havent got into checking the starter yet, but i think it could be a combination between that and the ring gear of the flywheel. It still turns over, but sometimes it takes a few tries. Anyone think this could be the problem? If so, do you know how big of a job the flywheel is? Thanks.
  7. I have decided to sell my camaro. it has 72k miles, 6speed manual, red, with a lot of extras. it has a new block with about 7k miles on it. i recently replaced the water pump. it has hooker long tubes with a qtp cut out. it has the intake off of a corvette with functional hood. i have an ad on craigs list with pictures. give me a call or respond back if interested. 614-286-9732 http://columbus.craigslist.org/car/428510034.html

  10. i put some headers on my old truck and the bolts they gave me with the headers were crap. i replaced them with those stage 8 bolts and they never leaked again. its not hard at all to replace them, its just a really tight fit to get in there. when you put the new ones in just make sure to use locktite or something. use the one that makes them hold, but not permanently hold because you never know if you might want to take them off for some reason.
  11. haha yeah that was me. corey sold me the o2 sensors and ran the code. but yeah idk i checked all the wires and the plug on cylinder one, which runs the leanest, was fine so i think im just gonna take it back to ips and see what they can do.
  12. ok well i changed the o2 sensors then disconnected and reconnected the battery. the ses light was gone (of course) then came back on flashing. i scanned it and the only code i got was the random multiple cylinder misfire. all the other codes were gone. so i have no idea why my cylinders are misfiring if all the plugs and wires are ok.
  13. i live up off of schrock road and cleveland ave. yeah i figure the big thing is replace the sensors and go from there. i mean for the first few days it was running great up until the light started flashing. so maybe the sensors did go bad, who knows.
  14. the car has been running shitty. sometimes it seems like the car is running fine but other times it shakes real bad and seems to be lacking power so im guessing its the misfireing thats causing that. now it seems the check engine light is flashing constantly. all the plugs and wires are fine so i guess ill just replace the o2 sensors and go from there. it just sucks because i never had a problem with them and now that i put 1500 into the headers and cut out, now im having problems. in my opinion i thought they would be responisble for this. not the o2 sensors being bad but if that doesnt work i think they should fix it. i mean do i have to get it tuned? they acted like if i replace the sensors the codes should go away.
  15. thats the thing i just took it back to them to check out after the light came on. they said it was maybe the o2 sensors because they looked old. so idk what they are going to do. all i know is i have to replace the sensors and if that doesnt work then idk. never would have expected headers and a cut out would give me such a problem
