Duplicolor or Krylon both make good rattle can clear coats that you can just spray on the areas that need it. If you arent happy with these results, then just remove your hood, then everyone will be impressed by looking at your wicked awesome power plant. Plus its good for letting the heat escape which makes your car faster too.

I found this thread on this forum where people constantly ask all these car questions.....am I in hell?

Im sorry but u cant fix that, that whats happend when they use cardboard material for car parts. You gonna have to buy a new one, not sure if u gonna have it for the weekend tho since you have to order it from Japan and they have to ship it from China, so the best thing u can do is get one of those 3M carbon fiber look stickers and put over the stock hood for now ( since the carbon fiber one is thrashed). and if u have left overs apply it to ur trunk and roof!! then rock it for the weekend, no one will ever know that its not real!!.

So my Evo is turbo and its making this wired semi truck noise...plus I took the mufflers out and replace it with pipes..now its too loud is it normal?? I dont like semi truck noises!. Help

[TouringBubble]

No, that's not at all normal! It sounds like your turbo is on backwards and you need to fix it immediately, as that sound is compressor stall and very bad for your new turbo! Remember, it's easy to hook it up correctly ... the red wire goes to contstant power, the black to ground and the green wire to ignition power. Then, look for the arrow that indicates the direction of airflow and make sure it points toward the engine and not the air filter. Hope this helps!

I just bought a Grand Am and was told it had a supercharger installed. The guy said there was a switch to turn it on under the dash and I can't find it. Where should I look? What would it look like?

[c-evoVIII]

Its very easy, first u must verify that it is infact a supercharged car. Look for sticker/badge on the side or on the trunk that says " SUPERCHARGED". If its not there then u DO NOT have a supercharged car. sorry


My Acura is a four cylinder so is my Evo Why is the Acura so much slower than my Evo? and what Can I do to make it as fast as my EVO?? sparkplugs?? NOS ?? octane booster??

[ExplosEvo]

I would say a combination of NOS, meth injection, race fuel, STP octane boost should put you up to at least 400 whp. Also, you may want to upgrade your spark plug wires to yellow ones.

My wife drives an 06 Acura TSX and I was wondering what are the biggest chrome wheels I can run on this car before people start to steal them?

[TouringBubble]

People will steal any wheels you get, no matter the size. I suggest using Lock-Tite on the lugs to prevent theft, or you can also grind down the lug nuts after install so a standard lug wrench no longer fits them. Also, you can fit up to a 24" wheel with a small body lift, so that would be the way to go.

I got pulled over last night. The officer said that I have a brake light out on my 911 Turbo. What do I do? I don't want to go to jail!

[ExplosEvo]

Call the Kilgores, dont they own Germany? They can get you some replacement bulbs quick!

[Erv]

the easiest way is to just buy cf tape from autozone and rewrap your hood. or you can get one of the hawt shizz hoods like me



I was wondering about all the ladiez out there, my gurl doesn't like to ride wif me when I am racing she says it scares her, anyway I can fisck dat?

[ExplosEvo]

Maybe you should try Rooffees? I hear it has a calming effect.

I just bought my dream car the Mustang! I didnt want to spend the extra 3k and get the GT, its the same though right?!

[TouringBubble]

Yeah, it's exactly the same except for the badges and some interior bits. The base model is also lighter when makes it faster. Good choice!

Some guy at school wants to race me. I've got a Civic Si with cold air and a muffler, so it's pretty quick. He's go some old car from the '60s ... a Chevy something. Should I race him?

[Cholewa]

It'l be a drivers race for sure, go practice launching in the parking lot.

Reading this reminds me of vortex. just sans pictures.

[ExplosEvo]

I wouldnt race him. All those old cars make 400+ WHP and roll wheelies when they take off from the line. Thats from back in the day when they really knew how to make cars.

Im putting a GT-R badge on my mustang soon. How awesome will that be?

[Cholewa]

Just make sure you get the forged pistons, with the rotary. and the intercooler.

Im putting a GT-R badge on my mustang soon. How awesome will that be?

Wait, you've got a GT-R Mustang, or is it one of those Mustang Cobra GT Type-R race cars like on Gran Turismo?

Guys, I decided to do a tune up and maintenance on my classic Beetle. I'm at the point where I need to flush the radiator to change the coolant, but I can't find the drain plug. The instructions I have say it's on the bottom of the radiator which is in front of the engine, and I'm confused since the engine is in the back. Help?

[Focus]

No. Those cars are so unreliable it's not worth it.

I just watched Tokyo Drift and it was pretty sweet when he was racing on the dirt with those slick tires. Is there a place or a club that does that stuff, and where do I buy slick rally tires?
