do you mean Goodyear triple tread tires? I work at a tire shop (that shall remain nameless because I hate some of the company policies) and I've never heard of a BFG tire like that... :lol:

Megasquirt has that ability, and it "recommends" wide band, but you can use narrow band if you so desire... I personally installed my J.A.W. controller yesterday, and will finish placement of the O2 sensor, calibration, and tying up the loose ends either tonight or tomorrow. (for those of ...

every ecu for every car is "special" the ej22t ecu is not a rare thing. engineers designed it for use with sensors and gears they wanted to use, and a lot of people can duplicate the circuitry to decode these wheels and sensors. its been done before, and my friends and adopted family are a...

yeah, I have too, but I HATE to have to "ghetto garage" something... it REALLY bugs me. what is worse, I had a licensed mechanic staring at it the whole time I was welding and fabricating my "new" guide pin, and from his facial expression, I got the impression that he didn't beli...

Ever done this? (doubt it.)

Amusing "emergency fix" happened on my car today. a rear caliper locked up on the guide pin (the slide) and messed up my left rear pads. I went to replace the pads and the pin actually broke off in the caliper carrier. after a long while of work, I got what was left of the guide pin out, a...

what we have been looking at is getting dead ECUs (or ok ones, if thats the only option) that plug into cars, and setting the Megasquirt up inside the stock ECU case, using the stock plug. The first using this type is my friend's 97 2.5 gt, and from there we will work towards other vehicles being ad...

I do not have a picture of the 6/7 board, but its not that complicated, and I KNOW it works. even the jimstim (a stimulator for use building the MS) has simulated 6/7 signal wheel capability. the ford 4/edis system WILL work, but its a bad way to go. Subaru runs with a well designed system, Id rathe...

yeah, I get that, Ive done that with other types of engines, specifically muscle car style v8s, and Chevy 4 cylinders, I was just curious as to how it was done on the flat 4, but I'm guessing I have to split the block, reassemble, then split again, and reassemble, right?

I'm in the process of a teardown, and I haven't split one of these blocks before (I have an ej22t) and I'm throwing some upgrade internals at it, and I don't really want to do the crank and mains without ...

man, you need to just order a fender from a company who sells them... I just bought one through a friend who has a body shop in canada, and the fenders for our legacies are not that expensive...

www.crosscanadaparts.com is where my fender is coming from, just for reference.
