Started Work on My Custom Gauge Pod

I bought an extra center gauge cluster cover from the wrecker last week and today I really got into doing my custom gauge pod. I used a soldering iron and cut out the center vents to make room for four 2″ gauge pods. I cut 2″ ABS piping to about 1 -1/2″ length to accommodate my [...]

Air/Fuel Monitoring Gauges

Adding on performance mods on your engine will only go so far without a proper Air/Fuel gauge, otherwise you could risk running your engine too lean and blow it up. The most popular one on the market now is the AEM Wideband UEGO Controller and sells on eBay for around $200-$300. There is also the Inovative Motorspotrs LC-1 [...]

Talk About a Nice Surprise From an old Buddy

Intake, Lights and Exhaust

Well 2 weeks have passed and I managed to get some more mods on the car. I got Mufflertech to install a 2.5″ exhaust from the Catalytic Converter all the way back to a Magnaflow muffler with a chrome tip. This should be sufficient to spool up a turbo pretty quick on the up coming [...]
