Re: 2022 Jetta GLI

If you're buying multiple oil changes, Summit does ship free over $109, so probably three oil changes worth. I didn't have to jack my Golf up to change the oil, it was pretty handy having the filter on top, just like an ecotec GM motor.

Re: 2022 Jetta GLI

I always changed my own oil in my Golf. Castrol made an oil I believe that met all the criteria for the factory warranty, and I never changed my drain plug. It was the same plastic one that just took a big screwdriver to remove. I had it about as long as you do now. As long as you have the receipts ...

Re: 2024 Drag Racing Stuff

I started going through my time slips and I was definitely getting quicker as the night went on, both in reaction time and ET. So changing the rear gear got me down to a best of 4.22 and my best reaction time for the night was .057, with a couple other 4.2x runs and several (in competition) low .1xx...

Re: 1979 Malibu

Keep in mind your not hauling enough weight to matter. Mark's 10-15% logic is correct typically. But I pull my quad (400lbs) with a 450lb trailer, and I had 200lbs of sandbags too and I could lift the tongue easily with one hand and it pulled like it wasn't there with no swaying or bouncing. You're ...

Re: 1979 Malibu

Looks good to me. Mine sits at way more angle than that when it's on my truck. Good to go!

Re: Yamaha FJR

I'm a non-paid spokesperson for Bulldog Battery on Vine St. I use them for all my batteries and had nothing but really good luck. Been buying from them since about 2017. Just got my quad battery from them about a month ago. Although your proximity to them at this point might not make it the most con...

Re: 2020 Ford Ranger #55

The lowering kit is now a bunch of boxes in my garage. Paul should be able to do it in the next few weeks, if not, I'll go another route. Without a long boring story, I bought some 18" chrome factory wheels to go on once it's lowered. I'll order the tires in the next couple weeks. The tires sho...

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52

So as I'm doing more reading, a lot of people are just notching or modifying the crossmember where the pan hits, so before I blow a few hundred bucks on a pan and pickup that may not work, I'll look into modifying what I have...

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52

The past few Saturday mornings have been spent trying to get this LS1 to sit on the engine mounts. It's been in and out no less than five times, and each time learning something new. At this point the exhaust manifolds are removed, the alternator came off, the power steering pump and bracket have be...

Can't wait to see it on there! Didn't seem like a terrible job to replace it.

Re: 2024 Drag Racing Stuff

The S10 was all over the board last night. 11.75, 11.81, and 11.70 in time runs. I dialed a .74 for the first round of Truck and dad gave that one to me. I ran a .68. The last time I raced the truck got slower in the 2nd round, so I dialed a .70. Well that logic was out the window when I raced Gigan...
