  1. ^^^ What he said... The spider injector needs something like 55+lbs of pressure to push the fuel through the poppets (injector ends). But like bow tied said those pumps ain't cheap and your better off going with an oem replacement rather some cheap off brand. Better to pay now and do it once than have to do it again in few months.
  2. Nice build... You might wanna look into changing out your intake manifold gaskets with some steel framed fel pro's or ac delco equivalent. The thin paper gaskets used from the factory are known to deteriorate over time and allow coolant to seep into the motor causing major issues down the road. Another thing you might already be aware of is the fuel pressure regulator and internal fuel supply and return lines (gm dubbed as "nut kit") all of which are located inside the upper intake plenum. Once you remove the intake plenum it will be easy to tell if something is leaking judging by how clean it is from the gasoline washing all the carbon off. Just some things to be aware of if you are in it for the long run.
  3. Yes indeed. If you want an all around decent beginner bike I'd say get a honda xr250. Not in production anymore, but is considered by some to be one of the best trail bikes ever. If you want speed and big air, go with a 2stroker... Maybe say an '97 rm 250, I'm may be little biased though.
  4. Is it technology that will be used in whatever war is started in 20 years by President Jeb Bush. Oh please say yes...
  5. Call me a conspiratorial fringe wing nut but I'm pretty damn certain 9/11 was an inside job... On a lighter note, I am happy that Obama won and hope he can live up to his word. It will be interesting to see if democracy still prevails over corporate greed and injustice over the course of the next 4 years. If nothing really changes on the grand scale under obama... Well, I believe this country is finished.
  6. Nice work... Now all you need to do is compliment your hard work with a nice set of wheel/tires
  7. Man... thats to bad sorry to hear. Meth is an overwhelming and very very powerful drug once you get hooked. I used meth for about 2 weeks in the fall of '04 and never want to do it again. I've heard that depending on how it is ingested will determine how easy or hard it is to quit. People who smoke it may have a higher chance of quiting as opposed to people who shoot it up. Not sure if this has any validity to it but it did come from a guy who teaches a college level course about drugs and society. One of my good friends I had in high school got addicted to that s%*t and now I don't think he'll ever be able to quit (nor want to). I've tried to get him to stop but every attempt it seems I was unsuccessful at. What scares me is that his family won't come to terms about his addiction so they act as if everything is fine and won't confront him. Ultimately though (like everyone else has said) it is up to them if they want to quit.
  8. Ya that Barrack Hussein Osama Bin Laden is gonna be the end of this country... God damn ****

    Yep... First Sen. Larry Craig, now this... Sheesh, at least will still got out spuds
  11. Found this on the local craigslist:Visit My Website Man if it only was a pathy... pfft $15000, ya right
  12. Your upper control arm has nothing to do with the torsion bar, its main purpose is to act as a guide for the rest of the suspension... In other words, keeps things square or "aligned" thats why you see the shims behind the upper arm-to-frame bolts. Once you get the tension off the bars you can move the lower arm freely so the ball joint taper end can clear the knuckle hole without hesitation. You might also need to undo the stabilizer bar, I'm not 100% sure though. I think it depends on weather you do one side at a time or both sides simultaneously w/ both t-bars relieved of tension. Hope I could help.
  13. I think I understand now how the torque measurement works for these. You gotta push the flange on by turning the nut which requires a good amount of torque to seat it on the pinion spline. Then you turn the pinion nut with an "lbs. torque wrench and compare it to the measurement taken before disassembly... If anyone was curious. I wonder how the pathy rear-end is set up. I never had an issue with seals on my pathfinder, other than the cam seals. Goes to show how Japanese engineering surpasses domestic way back when and probably now. Any way, thanks.
  14. Hey everyone, I'm working on a 93 olds bravada pinion seal and I'm not sure exactly how I go about torquing the pinion nut on the rear diff. I'm in the process of replacing the pinion seal, but where I go from there is sorta hit or miss. I've been told that I need to torque the nut ("lbs.) to what it takes to turn the pinion with the torque wrench which is about 19"lbs. Is that all you should wrench it to!? I mean it seems kinda low for something fastening a critical link in the drive-train. Any one know a thing or two about rear ends, enough to steer me in the right direction? THANKS...Sorry it's not a pathy
