    Ford vs Chevy Tug of War

    Yeah they had the reliable 6.5L and the 6.2L. Both of which were built for economy, not for power. I still drive my 6.2 daily '86 CUCV, just keeps rollin. Look on craigslist at the 6.5s for sale, there's still a bunch out there and most with 200k (or more) miles. Great motors but not power...

  2. Let's talk about lube

    I use the stuff with Teflon in it on my o-ring chains. Every week if I'm riding daily, every two if I'm not. Clean it with a good degreaser, Wal-Mart actually sells both at a reasonable price. For my non O-ring chains, I still use a little gear lube/rearend dope/90W-whatever gear oil. It's...

  3. Another bike temp thread

    Sounds like you're good. 210-220 is fine for most oils, running too cool actually doesn't let the oil flow properly (too thick). Most manufacturers have the fan kick on about 215 from what I read so you should be ok there. My Hondas all kick on right at 210-212 or so according to my IR gun...

    Another truck we will never see...

    One of these parks at the Lowe's in Snellville all the damn time. I usually park my Fiero right next to him. One of these days we'll race stoplights down 124 :D

    ughhh my cam phasers are going out....again....

    Man if ya'll need a place to work on these things I've got a shop. My schedule is kinda erratic but when I'm around I'm usually free for a week or so at a time.

  6. Anyone on here do automotive upholstery

    Palmer's Upholstery in Loganville. Never stopped in but I see them all the time on 78 just west between Snellville and there. There's also Snellville Auto Upholstry (I think that's the name) on 124 just 1/2 mile N of 78. He does nice work and is mighty proud of it. Think I was quoted 7 or...

  7. Another bike temp thread

    If it's a real worry pick up an IR gun and verify the sensor is working correctly. A little corrosion on the blades where the signal wire connects or between the sensor and the radiator/engine and it'll skew the readings. Those things are only accurate something like +/- 5% on a good day. I'd...

  8. 714 Mile Motorcycle Trip

    https://www.denniskirk.com/599225.sku?ad=4355691769 And the all weather plug from Wal-Mart (just hook it direct to your battery). Assuming you have a case for your phone, this should do you fine. Take a wall charger and when you stop to eat, plug 'er in at the restaurant. If you get low on...

    Motorcycle Carb Help Needed

    Yep, replace with brass is the best way to go. In a pinch though JB weld and a plastic 90 from Lowe's will do the trick. If you use the full strength stuff it can even be tapped....

  10. Dodge/Cummins Specialists

    P'Blaster and the flame wrench are your best friends in exhaust. When in doubt, burn it out.

  11. Bought the wrong bike... Give me some advice on a new one.

    I've got an '03 Honda Shadow 600. It's a great bike I bought for an ex but just not quite big enough for me (I ride a CB919 Hornet most days), although it's awesome to just scoot around town on. If you're interested you can test drive it and see if it's something closer to what you're looking...

    Turbo Drag Bike!

    I've rethought my earlier comments....If you go out next month I'll come watch. Maybe I do want to try this.

    Turbo Drag Bike!

    Saw a drag harley go boom once. Clutch detonated and engine too.....nope, not for me. I'll stick to my cages for straigh runs and my bikes for around the track. Sweet bike though, I'd love to watch you run it.

  14. Thoughts on BMW Cars...

    Sold my '79 Vette. Bought '88 Fiero. Dropped in 3.8L V6 and supercharged it. 300 rwhp in a 2400 lb car....yeah I'll embarrass a vette if you give me the chance.

  15. Thoughts on BMW Cars...

    I've got a Pontiac, Buick, and a Chevy Truck I average about $1000/yr for all three in maintenance. Probably rack up 10-12k per vehicle over a years driving. My cars may be old but they run well and don't give me problems often (usually if they do it's owner induced, I'll admit that). Every...

  16. Thoughts on BMW Cars...

    The 3 BMWs my friends have owned all had electrical issues. Window switches quit working, LCD displays in the dash going out, gauges malfunctioning, they were a nightmare. Cars drove good, but all three had noisy suspensions and warning lights (which blew one date when the girl didn't trust...

  17. Best Drives to get out of Atlanta

    OOOOOHHHH.....What year caddy? I used to do a lot of work on '49-'76 Caddies. And I've found that most of Ga has pretty scenic roads. I use my GPS and set to "shortest distance" rather than fastest time to a restaurant (there's one in Mansfield, Ga called Where's there's Smoke BBQ and the...

    Hot Rod Help Needed

    Ok guys, I consider myself a little bit of a gear head but I've hit a wall on this one. I'm trying to set up dual carb linkage on a Chevy 235 and it's just not happening for me. Is there anyone willing to come out to Snellville this Sunday and either assist or bring their classic that I can...

    Any other Lotus owners??

    It is. The great '88 GT with fully adjustable suspension so it handles as well as anything I've driven barring an SCCA GTS series car.

    Any other Lotus owners??

    I have an American made Lotus :P It kinda counts, right?
