    have you ever looked into any of the adhesives they use in autobody. 3m, lord fusor, evercoat and valvoline all make really good products. probly the best would be the evercoat since that one dont take a special gun, just a typical calking gun is all you need.

    Seals All.......pick-up at your local parts store. Kinda like silicone but dries hard. Works great for the plastic end tanks of import radiators. As long as it's cracked on the main body. If it's leaking between the core and the endtank....new radiator. Wiz

Look on the inside of the driverside door, it usually says right there. This is what I would keep it at on a non drag radial/racing slick tire on a passanger car.

    Exactly right. Most people don't even know what octane is and just think, "oh, it is a bigger number, it must be better." Like you said, most cars will make more power with lower octane. I think Ethan runs 87 in his GSXR? Correct me if I am wrong.

    If I remember correctly, when I worked at my old Suzuki dealership. There may have been a revised pulley and belt for the early Aerio's. Don't use belt dressing....it's only a temp fix and usually slings crap all over your engine bay. More than likely, with a 2002 model......just get a belt. If it has more than 3 cracks per inch...it's time. Not only does a cracked belt not hold as well, it also dries out after time. Making it squeal. Wiz

    You shouldn't use Dexcool in cooling systems that are designed for ethylene glycol. For damn sure don't mix the two types.

    Does anyone know the difference between the Mustang 5.0 and the Grand Marquis one? From the looks of it, seems like the intake manifold is just flipped around?

    that was from their "power pages" thing a while back... i don't remember if i actually knew what turbo was in that car, i think you could find it on the net. my guess is that it's probably a 16g wheel. i think all of us dsmers will agree that their method of upgrading is quite silly

The electronic throttle really limits the power in some spots in the powerband. As far as mileage is concerned, I have heard both sides + and -, but most that tow go + 1 mpg or two, but others say they lose one or two. It all depends on the driver. MY NOVa- I can custom program you a chip for the F150. what type of price plus upgrade would it do?

    I don't mind paying the $50. I noticed it is cheaper elsewhere in the country, so I was just trying to find the cheapest price, thats all. It would be silly of me NOT to ask is there was a place that sold it cheaper if you knew it was cheaper elsewhere.
