  1. I used to run ½ a can of Seafoam in 5 gallons on my Ninja when I had it. I also ran ¼ can in my dirt bike fuel (which was 93+ with 40:1 premix) To high of a concentration the stuff will separate from the fuel, sink to the bottom and well ...engines won't run on it.
  2. This... 2-step + Transbrake Also, I'd say if it's not a DD get rid of the TH350 and get a powerglide. My dad's old Trans-am picked up a tenth going from a TCI TH350 to a powerglide.
  3. Straight swap over. all I did was clean it up, paint it.... bolt it in. I'm not making anymore then 255hp, so I didn't really feel I needed to weld the tubes yet.
  4. Right then.... so After a trip to Troy two weeks ago, I crawled under my truck and noticed the Straps on the u-joint were....EXTREMELY loose, went to tighten them and.... two of the bolts snapped off in the yoke. so instead of replacing the yoke... I finally got around to putting the 8.8 in that I've had about a month or so. got the rearend from a 2000 Explorer XLT V8 so it's got 3.73 gears, Disc brakes and Limited slip! didn't want to drill the axles or rotors so I went for some Ford wheels with a high positive offset....ended up getting 16" 2007 Escape wheels, which I personally think look bad ass on the truck. Removal pictures Finished pics Along with the swap I also got a Dana Spicer 3R to 1330 U-joint and I finally put the JTR set-back plates in. Next upgrade will be a Aluminum Drive shaft (probably from an Explorer) and Power stop brakes all the way around. with Drilled/slotted rotors and Ceramic pads.
  5. I'll keep'em in mind if I can't find anything, it'd be worth a try. Ford Escape wheels would be idea.
  6. Thanks for the offer but.. Google says the RX7 uses a +30 offset. also uses a 59mm center bore and I have a 70.3. Again thank you for the offer, but I don't think they will work.
  7. I just need two 16" wheels with a HIGH positive offset and a ford bolt pattern. Tires on wheels 235/70, 225/75 or 255/65 would be cool but NOT necessary! Aluminum or steel does not matter, Cheaper is better. I just need these as a temp for a ford 8.8 swap in my hoopty S10 until I can afford a set of four new matching wheels.
  8. MPS in groveport. On Hamilton road right next to Groveport Madison. I wrecked a dirt bike once and they fixed the wheel for like $20
  9. There is a whole lot of want going on in my pants right now.... But COME ON GUYS WHY U OHC AND BOOST IT!? Build a better N/A!
  10. If it does not have EVAP provisions I'd say drill a hole in the top of the tank or on the top of the filler neck and install a Hose barb fitting, vent that into a Charcoal canister under the trunk and use a sealed gas cap.
  11. VW Thing! DO IT! They are the WWII German Jeep
  12. I've got stage-8 bolts on my S10. been running almost a year and I've not had any issue out of the bolts... Just wish I they were Stainless and not nickle plated. I didn't have any problem putting them on either... it's just a lock Tab and a e-clip
  13. Call, What I literally live right behind them in Westgate I can just walk down there and talk to them literally all I need is Three pipes bent Two pipes coming off the headers and one pipe going under the transmission from the Driver-passenger side. I've got the muffler and muffler-back pipes. But I don't have any cats, so I doubt they would touch it if I took the truck in for them to do it.
  14. Really, The place at the corner of Sullivant and Demorest? I need some head pipes bent from a template, think they could hook me up? I'll even supply my own 2½ straight pipe
  15. Well.... That is nifty. Maybe next year GM will offer a trans-brake on the 6L80E in the Camaro.
  16. It's leaking on on the headerplates where the tube go into the tanks on both sides... I wouldn't be able to get JB weld in there Thanks, I'll give'em a call
  17. When I did my LS-swap I bought the radiator that was suggested to me by a few users on S10forum... Well said radiators have a problem with leaking after a few months... Specifically the header plates where the tubes go in. Is there ANY shop that can repair this thing for me for less than the cost of a new radiator?? It's a Dual 1" core Aluminum Radiator. before it leaked it would keep my engine around 195F (Fan OFF in motion, Fan ON low stopped) I just don't have the couple hundred to spend on a new aluminum radiator right now and my only other option is to get a HD4.3 radiator which is a single 1" core.
  18. I feel like I would get grouped in with those guys because of my age. Like the guy racing around the parking lot in a 240sx or.... the numerous Civic drivers.
  19. What WHY!?!? I'm kind of disappointed I left before that
  20. Oh shit did the go kart catch on fire !?!
  21. Missed the dyno stuff... But I WILL be out tonight probably around 11 or so.. old circuit city building right??
  22. Exhaust got pushed back a little bit.. Since I have to put a hood & bumper on my sisters Sunfire Tomorrow before work.... But If all goes smoothly I should be out After noon but HOPEFULLY Before 4pm. With a brand spankin' new Exhaust that does not leak... and there is like a 10% chance I'll still have enough money to do the Dyno runs... But I'd still like to see some cars
