    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.

    i don't think national muffler has a mandrel bender. i don't know if anybody in town has a mandrel bender actually. is that what you mean by not the right one for stainless? or is this something i'm actually learn today, that the standard bender they use for steel tubing won't do stainless for some reason. huh.

    A timer is nice to have if you are in a hurry and don't have time to wait for the turbo to cool (anyone else ever had to boost all the way to work or school?). I wouldn't buy just a timer, I would get something that has a few other features. The one I have for sale has a thermometer, volt-meter, several "stopwatches", and one or two other things that I've forgotten. It can be set to monitor the ignition and increase/decrease the idle time accordingly.

At a bad time to because there was no fire saftey system in the building because they didnt turn the water on until the next day.

    Alright, i have a 1996 nissan 200sx that has never given me any engine trouble until now. The car trouble started out as overheating, which i quickly discovered to be the thermostat. It ran fine for about a day, then it started throwing 4 differnt codes, one was a coolant temp. sensor, tested it was bad so i replaced it, the second was a knock sensor, tested it it was just loose, 3rd is a maf sensor/circuit, checked it everything was fine, 4th is the IACV/AAC valve. The engine also surges when holding the accelerator steady. I checked the EAG valve and t seemed to be working fine, car smells like its running very lean, which makes me think its either a fuel delivery problem, or a vacuum leak. or possibly both. Anyone have any input for me cause im at a complete loss. Thank you.

    If its still intact (all original) internally, theres a good chance that the unleaded low octane fuel has done a number on your valve seats. They are soft and get beat to shit with the hot temps todays low octane creates in your combustion chamber. That "could" explain the loss of power over time. Worn camshaft could as well. It would be interesting to see your set up to determine your issue.

    My car is lowered a bit but nothing rediculous and West Fargo car clinic did a great job. Stock settings but the guy seemed like he would know what to do if you wanted camber and toe different.
