Re: How narrow can we go?

You better tell all the rally car drivers they're full of BS, that wide tires work better than narrow when there's snow. Seems they all go to a narrower tire, usually studs too. But they clearly...

Re: How narrow can we go?

When you look on Tire Rack (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?customSizeSearch=&width=215%2F&ratio=85&diameter=16) you will find they give rim width compatability in the specs. Some...

Re: Back pressure question

The computers have a limited range they will work within. There's a tremendous aftermarket that deals with those limitations. So EFI doesn't really deal with everything without problem, it will...

Re: How narrow can we go?

Clearly it isn't about looks, it's about best way to cut through snow. In snow rally cars go to extremely narrow tires and studs.

I plan to do the same thing next year on my 2wd, narrow tires...

Re: Flasher Relay Location???

By the way, thanks for pointing out the location. Is it the...

Re: 94 2.3 3/4 drop kit

Front shocks are stock length. As said, rears are Nissan D21 Hardbody shocks, I used 1990 as my reference year (1990 Nissan D21) when I bought my air shocks.

By the way, don't forget to spray a...

Re: Back pressure question

As was said, "back pressure" is a poor term. What one wants is the exhaust to essentially stop flow at the precise time the cylinder is totally evacuated of exhaust, not allowing any of the fresh...

Re: Back pressure question

A computer will not compensate in power for fresh charge lost during overlap when an exhaust system has too free of flow for the engine tune. Unless, of course you've done some kind of computer...

Re: Question

Oddly enough, that is about the mpg I get with a 96 4.0 manual. Minimal stop/go though.

Buying through a dealer makes a difference in price. Some reputation to uphold if they're good. Also...

Re: I cant be the only one...

Worthless depends on what you want to do. If you want space that's why there are full size long beds. Of course there are those who feel those are too small and want a dump truck!

Re: Is this a joke? (CL find)

I say if you can go look do so, you might be lucking out... or it might be a scam. If they have a title and all is good, I'd do it myself.

Re: Rpm guage

So then if your buddy had good experience then it may be a good buy. If not, if he's had problems, no matter how small, learn from what he's had happen to make a wise decision.

Good luck on the...

Again, buy the muffler - cheaper and better sound.

Re: Foreign coins

Historically it has been worth less. Don't know right now though. I'm betting someone is rolling coins to take to the bank and the bank passes them back. The person rolling the quarters is...

But I'm betting you'd get a better and more pleasing sound with a good muffler from Flowmaster or Magniflow. I mention them...
