Automotive and Performance

I wanted to see what we think are some of the greatest motors of recent history. Keep in mind, just because it was a big motor with big horse power, does not mean its a great motor. Things you need to take into account are longevitity of usage, horse power/litre, durability, amount of different models powered, quality of design, ground breaking technologies, efficency, and performance of course. So post up a motor or two you think should be included in the upcomming poll for people to vote on the Greatest Motor in the last 25 years, and what about it makes it a good canidate. (and dont just say toyota 4 cyclinder or chevy small block give more detail than that) -------…

post from CLZZ (TRP Vendor Section) http://www.classifiedzz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=366 I got my order in for my two cars. Thought i'd share the love and offer this to everyone on behalf of TripleRperformance. We are having a good sale on some HID kits. I am wanting to do a mass order of at least 10 as the price for shipping will be much lower. Well the price for each kit will be $65, and shipping will be around $25 so $90 if we can get 10 orders placed. I can do single orders at $65 and $45 for shipping, so $110 for a single order. Kits can be ordered in H1/H3/H4/H6/H7/H8/H9/H10/H11/H13/9004/9005/9006/9007/880/881/D2/D1 and color levels of 3000K, 4300K, 6000K, 800…

this is the thread for the hoopties. those lame ass, stupid installes, paint, body kits or just plain ragged out rides. find em and post em and we all get to laugh at them!!! i'll start off with the sprite mobile!! the outside.. and the inside..... luckily all we did was clean up the h/u install and put in a remore keyless/alarm. notice the speakers in the front door? yep, one screw holding them in. and the astroturf carpet?? one thing i didn't get was the fact that on the inside rear galss you could see the way they wrapped the vinyl..and that car actually took second at a local car show!! the car that won?? a bone stock 07 escalade on 28's.... falking idio…

The Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice...........Test drove a stock Sky. They are going to have a supercharged "redline" edition soon. Even for stock I thought it moved rather well. 177 horses and the redline wil have 260, for only 3G more but have better gas milage, and functional special air induction (i foget the exact name). anyways can i get everyone's thoughts on these things??? J

Heres my high/low beam kit i got in today. Bulbs are 6000K and i got the 50W ballasts. Im suprised at how bright these things are! They blow my old sylvania silverstar ultra's out of the water and they were very easy to install! And Il make sure to point anybody who's looking for hid's to futurevision. Anyways heres some pics of the install and a vid of them warming up.(camera does no justice) got these at futurevisionhid.com btw Testin them out before i put everything back together.

Anybody done this, pics and pointers would be great... I know it's not an easy task... the local shop said they wouldn't touch it. Saw the puddle of anti-freeze when I pulled the carpet What else can happen to delay this build....?

Does anyone know where the oil filter is located on a Mercedes? Thanks!

My cousin has a 2/4 DJM lowering kit. It comes with 2" front coils and 2" rear hangars. I already have 2" rear shackles. So this will bring me to 2/4. He selling it for 100$. Does anyone know if this is a good price and can someone tell me the easiest way to install this. I have an 05 single cab silverado.

Looking for a remote car starter for my 2000 chevy s10 work truck. Just the starter nothing with an alarm as the s10 doesn't have power windows or power locks or alarm I have looked at the Clifford 4203X but they don't come with install instructions as clifford says that you have to take it to their dealer to get it installed. I want something simple that i can install myself

I saw someone already has a similar thread... I currently have about 250-300lbs of audio related items in the trunk and it sits almost an inch above the rear tire... Pic: Mechanic wasn't really too helpful, when he was doing a brake job he casually said it would be like $900 to fix the issue without really checking it... I was watching through the glass partition while they worked.... Any of you mechanics out there work on this car model? what would that typically cost??? I'm not currently using my system because there is a huge drop and difference in height... people always flash their high-beams at me cuz when I drive the lights are almost pointed in their face I …

Hey guys, I want to know if anyone knows a good Website (Besides eBay or other auction sites) to buy some Halo Projectors for a 2008 Chevy Silverado Single Cab.

can NOT wait till this car comes out. i'm buying one hopefully, what you think of this car? it's going into production next year and will be available as an 2008 model check out this vid of it http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Featu...rticleId=115459

So after a couple months I finally got my George Balias muffler and elbow pipe for my 2010 Buell xb12ss. Installation was anything but a breeze. But that wasn't GB's fault, more so the fact that the oil filter was in the way of me disconnecting a mounting bracket for the original exhaust. ended up having to just sawing it off! So that was hard, especially because we didn't have power... but other than that the thing bolted right up!!! definately weighs less than stock, somewhere near 1/2 original muffler weight i would say. The look isn't too aftermarket, it actually looks like to me that it actually might belong on the bike. Picture time!! Note: The GB exhaust doesn't ut…

GM just released a whole bunch of info on the new Camaro so here goes: Full PDF: http://www.5thgen.org/images/2010Productio...cifications.pdf Images from the PDF: Color Palette:

Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me, but here are the pics my buddy took. Most are the hot antique cars and a few of the Porsche Panamera. We also saw the Blues Brothers (replica) police car in the parking lot.

All stock 2012 LML Duramax except a custom EFI Live Tune .. dyno was ran at around 900ft elevation, about 68 degrees.. not sure on the humidity or barometric pressure .. no corrections

I want to lower my fusion but not sure if it'll work with the system's weight. I don't know anything about suspensions but if the weight of my system is already lowering the rear of my car will a lowering kit lower it even more and cause rubbing or bottoming out? Here's the lowering springs by steeda. http://www.steedafusion.com/parts/steeda-ford-fusion-lowering-springs-555-8306/

I plan on getting one very soon, and was wondering about how much trunk/hatch space is there, roughly. Ive searched online, but they only give the total volume size of the entire cabin. Any help would be appreciated. Sizes for the width, depth and the height of the lowest part of the hatch(planning my system ahead of time....obsessed...lol ) Thanks in advance

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/01/pariss-...icially-reveal/ "Lamborghini has spent the last few weeks tantalizing us with teasers of its front-engine, four-door concept, but that comes to an early end today as a French website has unceremoniously revealed the concept we've been calling the Estoque. Though the images in our gallery are low-res, we can still make everything out. The Estoque features a long hood and short rear deck, with horizontal headlights up front and a pair of big Reventon-style air intakes in the front bumper. The fender vents behind the front wheels are tucked into the car's character line that flows back until it hits those wide rear haunches. Thank…

Hey guys, I'm almost done with my audio install on my 2006 tahoe...The total added weight comes out to around 400lbs. I have about 200lbs of stuff installed so far. The weight is distributed pretty evenly, batteries on each side, enclosure centered.. Well the problem is my 2006 Tahoe is handling worse, and performs worse..(To be expected). Stock the rear is lifted 1.5" or so compared to the front...Now it's about even. The suspension feels stiff, brakes are a bit weaker, can't take turns and peel out as easily\comfortably. I'm trying to figure out what I can or need to do to get it to perform closer to stock. Doesn't have to be 100% how it was, but a bit better would be…
