Radio Controlled top fuel?

Well, stock interior/exterior for an 86 GMC S15 is great.. in 1986 lol Does anyone have any links that'll allow me to browse through multiple pages of interior parts? Seats, carpet, tail/headlights, steering wheels are what i'm mainly looking for.

Alright, first off I blame Nick and Quentin for this. The engine never made a sound until I was chatting with them last night. LOL, just kidding guys, I figured it was coming. I had that nagging gut feeling, even when we were talking last night. Okay, background for those who are confused, I got a call from a friend a couple of weeks ago needing some help and pulled out of a flooded area after some particularly heavy rains. He's a good friend so I didn't hesitate to go help him. On the way there, on a completely different road in a completely different area, AND one that's not normally prone to flooding problems I dropped down a hill and came around a turn with no…

Thinking bout taking that dive into the 2 wheel lane. So far best place i've seen to get one is racersedge411.com its in cincinatti, bout an hour from Indy, but they sell so quick you miss all the good deals. no idea how much insurance is gonna cost, which is my biggest concern really.. not trying to pay 1000$ for a year. But thinking i can put it under my dads name and save and just pay him the money lol. Also I dont want to start wt a 600, because i feel like im way to big lol, feels like im riding a scooter. but just an open topic really thoughts, concerns, pics, ect lol

Started side-tracking a thread with Mr. Bob, so I'm dragging it back over here. It's been a good many years since I got the parts and built it so I don't remember the specifics, but basically a high compression N/A 383. Only was able to get it to the track once last year. Pep Boys Z-rated tires from 2002, mail-order tune, stock shifter, stock suspension, "granny shifted" etc., ran a 12.8 @ 114 MPH. Hoping with a couple small changes, like oh, traction, a tune, I can get it to dip into the 11s. Couple pics. No exciting videos, sorry. But, at least you can see it runs now...LOL

Well, sine Tirefryr asked, I guess I would post my toy. It is a 1986 Buick Grand National. It has a 3.8L V6, 30 over and stroked. Forged TRW 8.5:1 pistons and a forged Crower crank. Comp cams custom cut to optimize exhaust gas speed to increase spool up and reduce lag. The heads are cast, ported and polished with stainless valves, Chevy 350 lifters and comp cams 1.6:1 roller rockers. The intake manifold is match ported and polished to the heads, and fed through a Turbo-TA stretched intercooler with a Duttwieler neck conversion. I use a 3 inch cold air pipe and a 9 inch K&N. I use stock style headers (I found they have better bottom end then the high flow headers) a TA…

Guy came on to out local G35 forums who owns a custom shop and wants to swap with stock to return the car at the end of his lease. I took a look and luckily i called him before anyone else got a chance to. We are making the trade tomorrow, check it out on his website: http://meofny.com/projects.php?meid=73

Picked myself up another Neon... ya, I am beyond repair... 1997 Sport Coupe DOHC 5 spd This will be my turbo project car. The car I should have bought the first time around. There is two spots of surface rust on the passenger side, which will be attended to in the spring. Interior is soooo clean (minus the dirt from my shoes). Parking it for the winter at a co-worker's acreage. Green car will now become the beater female dog... Here are some quick pics, too damn cold out to get real ambious: And yes, the bra & those horrid foglights are leaving...

Hey guys. I have a project truck that won't go into park. I have a 1995 Ford F150 Flareside XLT 5.0L It's 2 wheel drive. I'm having a problem with it going into park, it doesn't go into park. When I shift gears to park, it's in reverse, and I can't go any further. I have to keep it on neutral or reverse and have the parking brake on whenever I park the car. What could be the problem? Something with steering column? Tranny? Must I go under the truck and look at some things? Any help from you guys would be appreciated. Especially you automotive guys. Thanks in advance.

Title says it all Im looking for something that is a crossover. To give you an idea, I was looking to get the Saturn Vue 2nd generation (which means 2008 or later) I was really just a few steps from buying it. Its a nice looking car and the fact that is american and no fancy dash makes it easy for me to put my audio stuff. But then this thought of Saturn cars been discontinued kept going around me. I dont know how this will affect me in the future. So then started looking around and found what I consider IMO one of the best looking crossovers ever. The Mercedez ML 350. That car is just beautiful. Now, with this one I dont know if its worth the trouble I might have when it…

I never really needed an alarm till now because I will be driving to school every day and leaving it in the parking lot so id like to get one. What would a good choice be? I dont want to spend that much money if I can avoid it.

A friend owns a 2006 VW Jetta. It has the factory 6 disc changer head unit that raises/lowers the volume automatically. But, it's messed up. And does it whenever it feels like. It has become real annoying. Is it possible to disable that feature and if so, how?

I have a problem, about a year ago I was going to a party in Austin. My friend decided it would be funny to open the door on the freeway. Anyways, the force of the winds pushed my window out of the sleeve on the door. We managed to get it to go back, but ever since. It will go on the sleeve of the door up to almost the top then it pops out again. I checked to see if it was coming off the track, and it's not it just moves a small bit and then that misaligns it. I was just wondering if any of yall, have had this problem and what yall did to fix it.

Thought others might be able to use this too, but anyone have recommendations on where to buy snow tires? I have looked at the venerable Tire Rack, the local Discount Tire Direct, and Costco. Here is a summary of what they have available and at what price: Dunlop Graspic DS-2 (TR $122ea + $10 ship +$10 roadh +mount ~$155) Continental ContiWinterContact TS810 (TR $145 +$10s +$15rh+mount~$185) (DTD $180--inclu shi/rh + Mt ~$200) Michelin ArcticAlpin (TR $163 + $10s +$15rh + mount ~$ 203) (DTD $190 + mount ~$210) (Costco $173+tax ~$190--no rh added) The most convenient for me is DTD since they are local and do free balancing for the life of the car which simplifies life and…

SSA family I need your help. My family is getting to big for my small car ( Acura cl ). I want to buy a used SUV but I know very little about them. I can only spend $6500.00 tops and it must be a 2000 or newer. I will need 4 doors and it must have a V6 or V8 engine. I will use it mostly on the weekend to take the kids around town. My two youngest kids are 12 and 14 years old and have long legs so no small SUV's like a Tracker. So I need a dependable, afforddable SUV for $6500.00 or less 2000 or newer. I hope this is clear and eazy to understand NO TIME FOR WISE ASS REPLY'S Thanks.

tire size is 205-45 r17, at least h speed rated. looking for all season, prefer treadwear over performance, though performance can't be mushy. run flats aren't needed and budget is about $400 at this time. i have a hook up for most brands, so budget doesn't need to be spot on. current tires considering are.. falken ze912 kumho ecsta ast yokomaha prada spec 2 and in that order as well. yay or nay? what would you buy and why? thanks folks! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Purpose: To purchase a vehicle 1-3 years old so I'm not the one who has to swallow the bulk of the depreciation; to purchase a vehicle that is comfortable for monthly (at minimum) 1200 km trips on the highway (through lots of snow in the winter). Narrowed it down to: Cadillac CTS w/ 3.6L Dodge Charger R/T w/ 5.7L Both rated similarly in terms of gas mileage and I would make use of the MDS on the Dodge. Love the comfort of the Cadillac but the interior is a little plain. The Charger makes me feel a little younger and the extra 100hp is attractive, albeit fuel consuming. Tough choice. Thoughts, opinions, experiences? Would love to hear what you guys have to say - especi…

I'm looking to get a new chevy malibu 2LT with the v6 option to replace my 2004 blazer. i'll be commuting to school this fall round trip 60 miles a day for 4 days. in my blazer that would cost me 50 a week not including any extra driving for work or anything else. Does anyone know any problems with them? i can do a car turn in, gm employee discount and get the other typical deals that dealerships offer and pay about $225 a month for 5 years before its mine. any problems with this idea at all? the main reason i'm going with Chevy is because i have never not had an american car let alone a GM. dad worked for gm for 20 years and i would only jump to ford if they did somethi…

long story short, my bros car is breakin down, hes leaving in a few months, he drive my car for a while, i get a new car. when bro gone, daddy drives my old car. Well ive decided to get a 94 crown victoria, and stuck between two cars 1. Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor $1500 and 164k miles http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_...&cardist=22 2. Ford Crown Victoria LX Sedan $1900 103k miles http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?rdpa...&cardist=29 I like the way the white one looks much better than the blue one, its cheaper, and a "police interceptor" but the drawback is the mileage. I looked up both on carfax and both seem to check out good. my one o…
