    Challenger R/T - 30k mile report...

    It's been 3 years, almost and I just hit 31k miles. I thought I'd do a quick write up on my 30k mile report and how this car has treated me this far. Oil: I've used basically whatever's on sale, synthetic wise. I'm not an oil whore and have no specific brand that I stick with. I've used...

    Volant CAI - 3 months later

    3 months later, I popped open the top of the box and removed the filter. I opted for the oiled filter basically, because it's cheaper by about $30 than the Dolandson. Most of these companies recommend cleaning every 10k miles. I'm barely at 2k miles since installation and it appears filthy. The...

    Opinions on blacking out my grille...

    I started to black out the grille today after a wash and wax. I used some trim tape that looks like carbon fiber and did a very entry level tape over the stock chrome piece. Then, I debadged it. Opinions on debadging because I'm 50/50. I like the badging, then again, I think it kinda looks...

    Black wheels

    Identical car with identical wheels. I like the black. I know it's a personal taste deal and some do not like black wheels so I'm getting a feeler. It's something different. I kinda like it.

    Leroy, do you carry any air filtration products

    Leroy, do you carry any air filtration products, or can you get any? I mean like drop in filters, not necessarily CAI systems.

    HID Projectors

    I bought these OEM projectors months ago and had to buy a $170 wiring harness to make them work as factory. Yesterday, at 73 degrees, 3 of us finally got them installed. What a royal pain right in the balls. I had to take the entire front clip off to remove the whole housings. What was...

    Installed some brakes today.

    Ended up with some R1 Premium rotors to replace the stock brakes. The stock set up wasn't all that bad but I hear they're prone to warping. These are 14" rotors and rather heavy. Anyways, I got a good deal on these. Switched from a semi metallic pad to a ceramic HD pad. Took about 1.5 hours...

    5.7 Hemi

    And begin with the mods... It stayed stock for exactly 300 miles. I got a killer deal on this AFE intake and couldn't resist. Having run them before on my 04 Dmax, I know they have good fit and finish and good quality. I paid $380 for my AFE Stage II back in 2004 for my old truck. I got this...

    This is why I love Florida...

    Because it's January and 75 degrees. And also because I can install goodies on my car without waiting for spring or freezing my ass off in the process. Yesterday, I installed this Vararam ram air intake. It's pretty bad ass actually. These things really benefit from a free flowing intake...

    Diodes...

    I'm looking for some help from someone who knows enough about diodes to chime in here. I'm working on the all on headlight mod to the SS. It is possible but it has not yet been done yet. I need a diode long enough or help with a heat wrapped pre prepped diode. I bought a couple 4004 type...

    Factory Nav

    No longer navigates. It's basically a map now that tells me where I'am but it will no longer let me plug in an address. It'll freeze up and tell me "error" while reading the disk. I have 4 disks. 3 burnt copies and one GM original from 2004. I'm starting to think that the disks aren't...

    Need help

    I ended up with a virus yesterday. Not sure where or how I got it but I got it, none the less. Anyways, I've been using AVG which seems to work very well. I also have spybot which actually located the viruses and moved them to a vault. Problem solved. During all of this, XP Defender...

    Nav system...

    Is there some kind of cleaner we can buy for these things? I'm getting a lot of disk errors and its apparently having a problem reading the disk. I keep swapping nav disks out but it dosent always work. I'm thinking the lazer is dirty or has dust on it or something. Isnt there some kind of...

    Impala SS

    They just sold this car on Barret Jackson for $69,000. I just watched this and had to do some research on it. Apparently, GM stuffed a 510 c.i. big block in this thing. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/BJ-92-Chevy-Impala-SS_282474.htm http://www.caminokid.com/ImpalaPrototype.htm...

    The "Official" Exhaust Thread

    Lets see'em, lets hear'em... Be sure to post which brand, cat or no cat and videos if you got'em. Yes, this also includes you Detroit drivers since you guys' trucks sound like big blocks and its too good to pass up. If this turns out good, this will be a sticky. I'll start...

    Why is black the best color?

    Because it looks friggen awesome when its all cleaned up. Got both the car and the truck washed and waxed today. If I could do this every month, I'd be doing alright.

    Is there a site...

    Where it'll scan your computer to see what hardware is installed and which ones are out of date? My video card is giving me problems. This hasn't made it a year yet and I cant win. This is the error message I'm getting: Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078)

    Random sputtering...

    I've been getting a sputtering at random intervals. Its happened a total of maybe 5 times in 2 years. At first, it only did it at idle. It idles rough and feels like its missing. Its got a noticeable lope to it and thats what initially caught my attention. This morning I started it up and it...

    Custom built

    Its time that I upgrade. I'm running a custom built gaming system that was built back in 2003. I've since quadrupled everything and anything to get it to stay up to date. I'm just looking for the CPU. What can I expect to pay for a custom built gaming system? I like to fly a flight sime...
