    How A Triumph MC is made

    I'll never be a fan of water cooled bikes... but that one is a monster: http://www.triumph.co.uk/uk/263.aspx I have the '01 Bonneville simply under the compromise that my wife doesn't want me to have "old" things:dontknow: and that it's the first time they put an air cooled engine together...

    Whats better xbox or playstation3

    The easy answer is "yes". But it depends on what you're after: Do you want a well developed online community and are willing to pay a fee on top of your ISP rates? Do you want to watch HiDef movies on HD-DVD? Do you like Halo? XBox 360 Do you have an existing PS - PS2 library? Are you...

    Why bother with a 172* thermostat???

    It works best when combined with a method for getting the fan to kick in sooner. It's all in avoidance of silent knock and heat soak. I haven't done either, because I don't (really) race.:p If you're boosted in any fashion, I would consider it a necessity to make it worth your investment...

    What is needed to make this truck handle better?

    I've hit that one in 3rd before, just have to "yee-haw" that one. I wouldn't immediately blame the truck. Most of 680 and all the south bay to central valley ramps suck, no banking at all. Plus, 84 is just suicidal. I stick to 680-580 based on my will to live alone. I lost a co-worker to...

    05 Resonators

    The resonators won't kill or calm any backrapping. Consider an "H" or "X" pipe crossover to mellow it down... but why?:dontknow: :p :p :p

    Sub-Prime Credit Crunch

    You hit the nail on the head there. The argument that there "should be a mortgage for everyone" is what is killing us right now. Many of these candy loans target people who are unwilling/unable to save money to cover a 20% down and are then too financially unstable to be able to pay a flat...

    Cheap Effective Exhaust

    ...and many cars VW is currently producing... including the Rabbit. Apparently the I5 is a good compromise between 4cyl economy & size and I6 smoothness.

    Ok, Heres a Hypothetical Question..

    Real or not, it's pretty much a useless art project. Each of those turbos is way to big to be beneficial for each cylinder individually. A TT kit would surely make more power and be way easier to maintain.

    how to remove fuseholder?

    BTW, You don't really have to remove it to add/change any wiring. I've made some changes and fixed a loose crimp (AC Blower) simply by removing the fender well. Everything is plug-in, color coded, and quite easy to reach.

    X-Metal GenX Shifter User Reviews:

    I'm sure the threads tapped into my ball were crap to begin with. I went through a small part of hell taking the stock stick off. By the end it had its threads chewed off. Going to the new stick, I pretty much had to do as Boomer described. I wrapped it, clamped it, and double-fisted it...

    WTF is burning?!?!?

    It's like saying "There's something wrong with this hammer. It always hurts when I hit my head with it." I have to say this:motz:please excuse my phukkedupness. Never, Never, Ever, Ever, hill-hold using your clutch, no matter what car you have. The clutch/flywheel assembly is subject to...

    Need help filling the tranny

    Drive it around a bit so that the old fluid is warmer and thinner so that it is easier to drain. Also any muck in there will be suspended in the fluid instead of settling.:)
