Have wondered about this: would increasing the size of the airbox intake hole make any difference for the motor? Or would it just be fiddling...
Yep. Heck, my old Ford Courier got worse mileage in winter, carburetor, manual choke and all.
On highway, other than not being way up in VTEC territory, the thing that mostly affects my mileage is wind: with a strong headwind, I get about...
Finally had a chance to get out on the highway for a short trip, and mileage stayed about the same: almost no wind, got about 52mpg. So a nice...
Here in OK, you've got both: lots of stations with ethanol blend, and a lot with 'NO ALCOHOL IN OUR GAS!' signs; take your pick. I generally only...
So far mileage seems to be the same as before. Can't say I feel any difference in power/acceleration, but wasn't really expecting to.
It's an idea, but I have no idea how the cuts would affect the sound. With either an extension for the cutting wheels or a skinny handset that...
Just replaced the chain & sprockets on my '04, and overall went quite smoothly(especially with this thread for encouragement). One piece of...
Just changed my chain & sprockets today, and having this thread for some info & pics was quite comforting; thanks. One thing I'll throw in that...
I've been using the Shell Rotella T6 synthetic; only about two years now, but no problems with it. Search around and you can find a lot of...
WD40 has its uses, but long-term lubrication or rust prevention are not among them. For that matter, I know a number of gunsmiths who despise the...
The dremel cutting didn't bother me; it was using a hacksaw on the tips. After the first, I cut them and THEN used the hole saw, then the dremel.
Actually, the used mufflers I was able to pick up(just in case this didn't work out). Used the how-to found here. About 1.5 hours to do the...
Ok, I did it. Finally. I was able to pick up a used set of pipes and did the mods on them yesterday, and installed them this morning. And wow!...
Nick, makes me wonder if a previous owner put on different sprockets; mine('04) has stock, and in 6th at 75mph it's turning right at 5000rpm
I will have to remember that, thankis
Very nice, and is helpful. I will note that on my 6th Gen- on the lower lamps, at least- it's a single unit, like on my truck; there is no...

Oh yeah, I always put the old ones in the boxes and set them aside, just in case. I wound up ordering them from Amazon for $10.49 each; nobody...
16,000. The originals looked pretty good, but I figured if I was going to pull them, might as well go ahead and replace.
