    New Throttle Body, Cables Too Short?

    In my build up to a supercharger I purchased a 62mm throttle body from Boosted Tech. I have it installed and my idle is now at 1500rpm. I am using the original idle air control sensor and my vaccum tubles look good, no leaks or cracks. Playing around with throttlebody, I noticed that there...

    Stock Manifold Replacement - Tick

    I have had an engine tick that does not go away and seems to correspond to engine speed (higher the engine speed, the faster the tick). Over the last year I have tried different weight oils, Seafoam, Marvel Mystery Oil, etc with no change. Looking at my exhaust manifold, from what I can see it...

    New Ride Added To Stable

    He's got a lot riding on this, no pun intended. Grades need to be met, household chores done, get himself to work on-time, get himself to sports on-time. It's his to loose... But it is badass for a 16 year-old. My first car was a 1982 Nissan/Datsun Sentra. A complete POS.

    New Ride Added To Stable

    Pretty much, there some blemishes on the paint like rock chips and scuffs but for 16 years old its in very good shape. Frame is perfect, engine bay is spotless.

    New Ride Added To Stable

    Thanks, this one has some wharts but is in good shape. 133k on the clock. Clean 4.0L engine, no rust. Color was what sold me. Son turns 16 soon and needs to get himself to work and sports so I wanted something simple to maintain, not overly fast, and limited passenger room. Check, Check, Check.
