Oil - synthetic, organic, or blended?

Black Scoob — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 13:22:27 GMT

A friend of mine is all about synthetic oil and keeps telling me it's awesome. Just curious, what do you guys use? Can you really go 10k+ miles on one synthetic oil change?? What brands should I use?

Spring Photoshoots

WickedSlow — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 19:41:50 GMT

Now that its getting warm out, anyone want a free photoshoot? I'm getting more into automotive photography and welcome the possibility of anyone that wants to have a shoot with their car. I only require the car is CLEAN, and suggestions on photoshoot locations are welcome.

Spring is kicking in

adamek_ladi — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:10:23 GMT

Hi guys,

it's getting nicer and nicer, so I was wondering if there is something interesting going on?

Any news about F1 Boston, Car Show, Drives or Insights about what's under the hood?

New Car !!!

The Newyorker is officially be retired. The new car is HERE! I won't say what the new ride will be, but here's a teaser shot... Scroll down to see if you're right.

CRUISE - Wed 1/28

Black Scoob — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 22:15:22 GMT

Just what the subject implies. Wednesday is a winter storm warning 90% chance of precipitation from 6am and on. If anyone wanted to meet for a cruise, keep your eyes on this thread. You don't need to have a fast car, just one that runs. Location and time to be determined.

Molded Splash Guards (aka Mud Flaps)

WickedSlow — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 03:43:55 GMT

These "splash guards" are OEM aftermarket parts specifically for the Ford Fusion. Installation was pretty easy, the first one took a while, but the other three were a breeze. The package just out of the box: Now for the fun part... Tools needed: - a couple flathead screwdrivers (or a trim panel remover tool) - drill & 1/4" drill bit - paper towels or rags (to clean parts & use to keep your tools from scratching the car's paint) NOTE: ...

WeatherTech Floorliners

WickedSlow — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 18:08:43 GMT

So this isn't a very technically challenging mod, but I just got them and figured I'd post up some pics to show what a floorliner is as opposed to a regular rubber floormat. Installation process: 1) remove stock floor mats 2) thoroughly vaccuum floor pan area 3) put floorliners in place WeatherTech manufactures these floorliners molded to fit the footwell contours of specific vehicles with a lip to keep dirt and water on the liner instead of running off the edges like it would ...

Winter Paint Protection...

WickedSlow — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 15:27:37 GMT

Anyone have tips on types of wax to use or good ways to prep your paint to protect it from sand/salt/general grime of New England winters?

Now that I have a car thats NOT 18 years old, I'd like to treat it the right way.

Finally joined up, need your help

300zx — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 07:56:16 GMT

hey guys, It's Rich with the 300zx and the jeep.

I need you guys help. Someone ripped the radio out of my jeep last night (friday) and I want to find out who.

The radio isn't worth much, probably $30 or so. Regardless, I will give $100 cash to whoever can tell me who stole it.

It's worth it to me to find out who did it, so if anyone has any idea, PM me or post here. I promise anonymity.

Cruises!!!

93cobra670 — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 22:06:59 GMT

Cruising season is here! Temps are good, and the scenery is amazing. I think we should organize cruises and get everybody out for some fun. Rich, Paul, and myself have gone out a few times already and had some good experiences. No excessive speeding, just cruising speeds. I'm pretty much free Fri-Sun, and various afternoons throughout the weekend. If any body's interested either post up or let me know: AIM TomSelleck302 Email wood_chri@bentley.edu

Buying car from different state - info

I have struggled pretty bad with the DMV here, so I postponing this email I have received from DMV in Mass, so you can get some ideas how to do that and save yourself bunch of struggles at the DMV, because the clerks are not informed at all. Dear Ladislav Adamek: Normally, you would pay the required state tax to your home state or the registering state of the vehicle if the vehicle is garaged in a state other than your home state. However, if the registering owner's motor vehicle ...

Help finding wheels

WickedSlow — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 00:23:58 GMT

After 18 years on New England roads, my wheels have finally begun to go. Now having issues holding air pressure in two tires because they can't seal flush to the wheel. I'm just about due to replace two of the tires also, so I'm looking at alterntives of buying a whole new set of wheels/tires. Only thing is that if I buy different wheels, I'd rather take it as an opportunity to upgrade the aesthetics, but the car as fairly narrow wheel wells and I'd need to find wheels with a shallow enough ...

Hey guys, my name is Matt, I met a bunch of you today at the meeting. I currently drive a 2004 Porsche Cayenne Turbo and have just done a few modifications to it such as: 22" Champion Wheels, 20% Tint, and added red led lights in the grill and underneath to match the brake calibers. I am also considering some sort of new exhaust. If you guys have any ideas besides what I heard today that would be great. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Lexus Supercar to cost OVER $200,000!!

Edmunds Inside Line PASADENA, California � After three auto show appearances and the occasional spy photo and video from Germany's high-speed N�rburgring test circuit, it's no secret that the Lexus LF-A supercar concept is headed for production. With an estimated 500 horsepower coming from the LF-A's 5.0-liter V10, we didn't expect the Lexus to come cheap, but Inside Line has learned that the car will carry a price tag over $200,000.

ProfNichols — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:26:28 GMT

Well guys, it finally happened. After 4 years of building race engines, I finally had one go south on me last week during practice, though the results could have been much worse. About three quarters of the way through the first round of practice, I was heading into turn 3 and despite my foot being flat on the floor, the motor started to slow like it had just run out of fuel. A quick glance over at my gauges showed that the red warning light was on and the oil pressure was at zero, zip, nada, ...

What Do You Think of the Tesla Motor's Car?

bluehtchbckdrv — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 14:23:41 GMT

As I am sure you have all heard, Tesla Motor's has finally started full production of their car, the lotus looking 100% electric sports car that does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds and can go about 220miles on a single charge.\ I will admit, I was skeptical at first, but I am now really interested in this car. If this is the way we have to move forward, its not too bad of a move. It has 100% of its torque at 0 rpm, so it just shoots off the line. What are your thoughts?

Cobra Updates...

bluehtchbckdrv — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 04:16:31 GMT

WickedSlow — Fri, 23 May 2008 13:26:27 GMT

Boston, MA to Los Gatos, CA. That's right, a cross-country ROAD TRIP! The Reason: My best friend's girfriend has a car out here, needs it transported to her home in CA, but doesn't want to pay for shipping. The Catch: We only have 5 days to make the trip. The Route: Figured I'd throw up a map of our planned route, we'll be following old Route 66 from St. Louis to Flagstaff, hoping to stop by the Gateway Arch, Cadillac Ranch, the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and maybe Sequoia ...

right now my brother has been talking to me about finding him an sn95 cobra (thats 94-98 for all you folks who have no idea about mustangs). I guess he wants to start a friendly rivalry with one of his coworkers haha. Right now he plans on making a move later in the year or early next year. I'm pretty excited to see that we share mustang (and cobra to be more specific) blood. Heres an idea of what we're shooting for, besides the harwood 4'' cowl induction hood off my 94 gt muahaha:

The future of the American auto industry

WickedSlow — Mon, 26 May 2008 03:34:05 GMT

So, I know every now and then I've thought about what the future might hold for auto manufacturers in America. I usually end up coming to the conclusion that I should save up some money and buy a nice American sports car sooner than later before imports completely take over. It's mostly a combination of labor / manufacturing costs that just means higher vehicle prices, which can't compete with foreign (mostly Southeast Asian) companies. Anyway, no more babbling, here's an interesting response ...
