    Tired of my car already...

    Why not just have it all? Got my Miata, the project LeMans, a Wrangler for the wife, a Jeep for myself and you can see the speed parked in the garage (my dad's that I build for him) This driveway was just about the dream set up. I wouldn't mind trading my Liberty for a truck so I can tow a...

    Black Knobs

    I doubt it wlll be any hotter than a stainless knob, (which can get wicked hot). But a drink coozie over it was always my solution. Really any coating is an issue since I do such small quantities. Most have $150 minimum or more. so for a knob or 2 thats just not feasible cost wise

    Black Knobs

    Trying out a coating (Salt Bath Nitriding) on a knob Im doing for a friend. Did a couple I had lying around in it as well. This is not something I plan to offer on a regular basis as its quite expenisve, so I would need a lot of interest and make them in quantity. Its a nice satin looking...

    Mine was a piece of plastic sign board and duct tape. Worked fine for a year or 2.

    You are bored of your speed, but somehow a ranger is ok? Curious about that. I dove my speed for 9 years before it decided to go out in all its glory, and loved pretty much every day of it. Its just a fun car. Stock to crazy built up, it was always a good time IMO.

    No problem man. Like I said, looks like you found a clean unmodded copy of the car. Get that body work done and you should be good to go.

    Shedbuilt and Scumbuilt

    Under route looks nice, but I suggest clamping it to the bottom of the timing cover. I had a lot of vibration there (and mine was only 1 pc so I assume yours will be worse) and it rubbed pretty bad after a while. I put a tbolt clamp and a little bracket and it solved the issue. Just something...

    No name brand Ebay and Amazon parts

    Because it flows like garbage and cast (non stainless) is cheap. It "works" but I have to imagine you are pushing more than a few extra psi to make power. If you have a giant turbo it probably makes less of a difference, but I have no doubt that its holding back cars that have it from making...

    For sure man. Im going to be up in Rockford this Saturday morning (traveling from south haven). I might be able to swing by on my way back. That or @Funkster777 is probably the closest to you.

    I mean Im originally from the east side. Anywhere in Michigan is better than the alternatives, but our roads are nicer over here, traffic is less, and I live a mile from the beach now (only a good thing in summer lol) Also, @Chef you and I need to talk stickers/decals.

    No name brand Ebay and Amazon parts

    I think ebay turbos can work. But its a gamble. So if you are willing to take a 50/50 shot your turbo wont fall apart, then yeah, its a cheap way to get some power. I hate it when people are like "so and so did it and its fine", when Im sure there are failure stories too. (granted I think not...
