    Penguin Mobile: "Jesus Built my Hotrod"

    That's how it was for me. I called for months to no avail. No Dr's were taking new patients, or they wouldn't get back to me. It wasn't until I called a suicide hotline that I got anywhere and sent to a county funded clinic. I feel for you, it sucks bro, but there is a better tomorrow. I...

    Penguin Mobile: "Jesus Built my Hotrod"

    Shit..... I miss this place. Been out of sorts for a while. The Pu needs restoration work. Having a mental health breakdown and then trying to get help for it over the last year and a half has left me rather lethargic for a while. Looking to get back into it. One thing I realized after the...

    Brass shift pads

    IIRC someone tried an epoxy to install them and had success. I just can't remember who it was. Maybe @JohnnyTightlips ?

    100% e85 black death

    IIRC, 50% or less is the most you can go, and you needed to dump sl1 fuel system cleaner in the tank and HPFP every once in a while.

    my 96 ford bronco

    How are the dual shocks up front? Recently got hold of a 1993 f250 with TTB in the front. Was reading up and considering dual front shocks, since front sway bar options are limited for TTB.

    What to expect from aftermarket TMIC to Tr8 FMIC

    I was born in Rio Piedras, but it's been 20 years since I last visited the island. Here is one of the gaskets, link , it's a softer material that seals tighter than the hard PTFE material JBR uses. They make gaskets for the BPV and Intake manifold too. As for sealing the front end, I talk a...

    What to expect from aftermarket TMIC to Tr8 FMIC

    Hey @Speed777 By the sounds of it, I think a TMIC is still going to be your best best. However I say this with only the ETS or CPE cores in mind. The reason being is they have plates on them that seal the hood tight, which improves flow through the core instead of letting air leak around...

    Lower control arm bushing replacement

    Not sure where you got the idea to freeze the bushing, but I would probably try it too if I were in your shoes. Warm up the bushing. You need that thing just soft enough to flex, but not enough to tear. Use a hair dryer or heat gun and have a lot of patience. Then hit everything with soapy...

    Lower control arm bushing replacement

    May sound stupid, but have you tried some soapy water? Thinner and slippery as grease, and it evaporates. Are those OEM shells, or aftermarket?

    Neganox's Cats Can't Drive v2.0 Build

    Nice! Long overdue, so I know you're stoked. Who is going to tune it?

    Issue connecting battery

    The shop fucked something up with the power cables. I've never experienced this, but have friends who have had this happen on other cars. Follow your grounds, and follow the hot cables. Make sure they didn't hook up a hot cable like a ground, or a ground to where a hot cable should be (fuse...

    Raider's Neverending love/hate with Christine

    It's about time once of us goes built. I know you have a bunch, but if you need any spare parts that you don't find in your attic let me know. Might even have a BSD kit, but I know you always said you wanted to keep the balance shaft.

    Big Turbo Reliability

    No Yes Potentially You are not wrong in your assumption, however both scenarios translate to different throttle response. You need to figure out what your goals are long term. What I mean is long term support mods, and goals for the car. If you will never track it, and only daily drive it...

    Big Turbo Reliability

    I guess I can drop in... I have a BNR S4 v3. Been on the car since Dec 2018, about 45k miles now, 90k miles on original OEM engine, tuned by Rob @ Hypnotic at the time. I was on the fence between the BNR s4, Garrett 3067, and even the efr 7163. For my own reasons went with S4. Lag over k04...

    Effects of high eth content on fuel level sensor

    IIRC the few guys on MSF that beat this issue, did it by just soldering all the connectors together. Some kind of resistance that caused the corrosion. Back then my buddies with Relentless Customs tried some epoxy that worked for civic guys or something like that. The epoxy was expensive and...

    Tranny wouldn't go into gear!

    An improperly bled slave can do all sorts of funny things. You have a twin disc clutch, so you may not necessarily have text book symptoms. Anywho, yes rebleed your clutch system because its cheap and not hard. Great first step in troubleshooting. I made my own pneumatic bleeder, so no tips...

    Tranny wouldn't go into gear!

    Rebleed the slave before you panic. Most shops suck at bleeding hydraulic systems.
