I bought some NOS fuel cleaner and poured it in, my car started for all of 5 secs now it won't start can I sue them?

[OverDrive418]

NOS does nothing in a horse drawn carriage, you have to give it to the horse silly!

My girl and I got frisky dingo in the backseat and, well lets just say I need a good cleaner to get some stains out. Anyone have a good solution? HA! Get it Solution...like cleaning solution! Hahahahahahahaha! No seriously, my moms'll kill me when she goes to work!

[Erv]

I suggest using febreeze and lysol bleach wipes

My car hasn't been turning very well my buddy said i need to upgrade the sways, but, I am poor can I get away with one, preferably the rear since its cheaper?

[c-evoVIII]

No, u cant just pour that into your gas tank! u have to hook that up to your manifold. You also have to make sure that you control it properly or the excessive pressure can crack the weld on the manifold and put a big hole on your floor board. do some google on a documentary film that came out in 2001. Its horrid.


Some kid told me that My car is the best drift car in the world, I keep telling him that my car is an All wheel drive and not rear wheel drive, and the people who made THAT movie need to be kick in the nut! but he wont believe me. Is he stupid??

[ExplosEvo]

C...you are the one who is mistaken. The Evo is well known to be the greatest drift vehicle in the world as well as number one for smokey burn outs. Its also tops for hauling lumber and pulling boats.

I was autoxing my miata the other day and the rubber band under the hood broke. Can I just replace it with the ones from Office Max or do I need to order like an industrial one from autozone?

[TouringBubble]

Those big red ones from the grocery store are fine. You know, the ones they bunch collards with. As a bonus, your car will smell like collards.

Erv, just remove your front sway and get the biggest one you can for the rear. That will give you awesome turn in and the best handling. At least, that's what Vortex says.

Guys, I'm restoring an old '38 Chevrolet sedan and I've got a problem. Apparently some creature has made a nest in the carburetor. I'm considering setting the nest on fire to clean it out. Will that work?

Eric, i am glad to see you have finally mastered ebonics.

[DAB21]

You know why they banned ebonics from the Miss America Pagent, don't you?

Because they couldn't get anyone to try out for Miss Idaho!

da dadda da da, da da.

Hi Guys Looking For The Best Sounding Exhausts For My Civic That Makes It Loud Like Muscle Car Not Buzzy Can You Reccommend It 4 Me Thanks? Does The 5 Inch Tip Sound Different Than The 4 Inch Does Because I Want The Biggest Meanest Muffler On The Back Of The Car So It Looks Good Thanks Again?

[Erv]

I'd use 6 in straight pipes I had 5 in but the back pressure was too much

can I swap a ls1 motor into my pinto?

[OverDrive418]

I wouldn't use a muffler at all. A buddy of mines used 4 Cherry Bombs in a row and straight out the back. Soundz awesome!!! And they're red so they match his painted dash and wheels.

I want to powdercoat my wheels but doesn't the heat process screw with the temper of aluminium wheels, won't they melt or something?

[c-evoVIII]

No it wont.. Aluminum wheels a indestructible. Like superman


I wanna make a full under panel for my car, u know, for aero dynamics? can I just go to Lowe's and get a big ole sheet of plywood or should I use a sheet of plastic instead??

[Erv]

you don't need aero, just take a hole saw and cut a few holes in your back bumper

my car turns not good, I want to up the stiffness of the springs, a guy told me he can get 40k lb/min for the front of my car and and 32k lb/min for the rear isn't that gonna be a little too soft for bham roads?

[ExplosEvo]

You dont need new springs, just weld a piece of pipe in between a few of the coils at each corner. That will stiffen you right up.

Im thinking about getting some nice aftermarket seats for my car. I cant decide if I want the ones with flames from autozone, or the ones with dragons off ebay. What do you guys think?
