    yea i havent even wott'ed in in cruising, i havent heard ANY KR, but it does have mis-fires i plan to fix saturday, i need to get a guage on this thing and monitor some Parameters. i am doing the plugs this weekend...i should do a compression test, but now ill be scared it sucks lol....the car hauls! i did mini gas wot, and the tires just roast... I have noticed it is running retardly rich, im going to assume its because of cold/plugs and missing 02 sensor.

    You should see the 3.8 stocker. Its commonly referred to as "dinner plate" sized.

    I would suggest either stock plugs, AutoLite606s, or NGK TR55s. Order some SSAC or Speed Daddy headers, cheap but very functional at (+/-) $200. and then tune her and call it a day.

    Shouldn't be any need to do a compression test, you can if you want but usually there aren't any slight problems with the lower end on these cars, either they work or they don't. Head gaskets don't tend to go out either, usually run into Lower Intake Manifold gasket giving out and leaking coolant.

    If you haven't read these yet, give them a look over. Could save some questions and $$$ if you plan to do some mods.

    A missing o2 will not add fuel. If anything it will probably lean you out sligtly.

    really, i was under the impression it would make it run rich(er) as a safe mode, from the secondary 02 sensor not giving any readings to the PCM. (my mazda 3) does this.

    Small but so important. Without it you would have metal on metal wearing down, instead that little "plastic" piece takes all the wear for you and its easy to replace. Its amazing the difference between new and old/worn.

    I've replaced the couplers on 2 separate superchargers of mine and I used a tube of the Anerboic sealant on both and no problems. If you go through intense-racing and get the coupler kit they include it, but most other places do not.

    My rims are the Mille Miglia HT3s. 18x8s with a +35 offset. Love them. Need to be refinished, but that are very nice wheels.
    No direct side shots, but I have several at decent angles. Could take some side shots if you need.

    Unless you were looking at the first set I bought on like page 2. Those are MG Drifters, I got f***ed on that deal, but they are nice looking wheels. Just bent out of shape and hard to balance, so I got replacements.

    Links are for my photobucket. Its not as extensive as BillBoost37's by any means, but I'm working on it little by little. Look around if you like. Most of my pics are in my Member's Ride thread. Click the pic VVV

    thats what i thought, but then i went on two other forums to see some how to's to make sure this goes smooth, and some are using this type of sealant. let me look it up...

    Tube of Anerobic Aluminum Gasket Maker, a few forums used them, although they were on diff shell;s IE regal yadda yadda. so wanted my facts straight.

    anerobic sealer on the snout is what you need. You can't hear KR. Don't beat on it if its misfiring especially with that pulley.

    you very much can hear KR, if you get enough of it. sounds like rocks in a can.

    ill pick up that sealant at autozone. I have maybe put 20 miles on the car since i have had it, just been moving it in and out of garage to work on customer cars and when im done pull it back in. couple trips around the block after installs make sure no leaks.


    debating if i want to get new headlights, havent found any i like, i want projectors, but cant find a housing i like. tails as well, but all the designs out there are just way over thought and ricey to me, so smoked out stocks is what it'll need to be. need new GTPsupercharged emblems as well.

    i replaced all the interior lights with 8 led lights, looks GREAT, just need to order the dome lights, pics to come this weekend. one of those strut body braces to the frame, i was taking them off to wire-brush and re-coat them and the head snapped off, so now i got tap it out.
