Honestly, the technical work isn't much at all, since i haven't exactly redesigned the site in years and years.
It is the money (although not that much really) for something that isn't used.

Like I said before, I'm more than happy to take over the technical side of the site if you want to be done with it. I also think we should pursue a partnership with the FB group; there's so many benef ... |

You're exactly right, but neither of us were talking about belt stretch.

There's no way I'd ever run a manual tensioner on a serpentine belt. Your actual belt tension will vary wildly as RPM and accessory load changes; no bueno. |

Swanky ride. Aaron's right, those things have no demand now and go for a song. 96+ is definitely the way to go, and replacing the stupid poppet injectors with the aftermarket injector spider is an exc ... |

Yeah, clean it and sell it. Disclose the sticking and cleaning, but it should be 100% OK for somebody to use after that. If you want to make a turbojet, buy an old cheap $50 turbo on craigslist instea ... |

I used to use the NXT, but recently switched to Collinite #845 Insulator Wax. This stuff is amazing.

As far as the Cressida goes, saw it today for the first time since buying-and-towing day and it is superb. I want one. |
