  1. i was wondering if i put a glasspack muffler on my 97 monte carlo would it effect my mpg of the car because i drive almost a 100 miles a day for work so i dont want my mpg to go down less then it already is so if anyone can help me out or has an opinion on it thanks and its the 3.1 v6 engine

    Not quite sure of gas mileage effect, but I do know, you probably won't pass emissions because of the muffler. The muffler should actually give you "more" power, because it is less restrictive then the stock or dual chamber styles. Think of a motor as this: It's a big air pump. The more efficiently you can get air in, and out, the more power you will make. So, you will help the air (exhaust) get out easier.

  2. Since your Suburban is stock, and the wheels are not adding a significant amount of weight, there really is not much of a need for better brakes. Meade most defiantly needed to with all the extra weight he has packed in his Hoe.

    Technically he has more rolling mass now. He will still be able to stop, but not as quick.

    One thing that will be beneficial to you will be slotted/drilled rotors. They stop much better then stock. EBC has pads you might want to look into. There's ones for rims, I forget what color, but they don't make the dust, and reduce the cleaning. They are ceramic, iirc.

  3. At most, I'd run the car for 15ish minutes, at like 2 grand, just to charge it. Not even 15 mins at 2 grand. The drive will charge the battery to full and then when you start it, the voltage will go back up. As long as you're not using it to run a cooler or power inverter you'll be fine. Cell phone chargers don't drain batteries, nor do Ipods. You'll be fine, just watch the voltage when you start it.

  4. I have the same thing. I've been trying to figure out what I want to do with my cutlass for a while now. I know I wanna bag it, but do I wanna lay frame, or tuck 20's? Do I wanna wall it and lose 2 seats or fill the trunk with beat? What color do I wanna paint it?

    As you know, planning ahead is annoying lol. I set my mind on something, then I change it. I feel ya pain. I'd say bags, imo. I think bags would be cheaper, but I honestly have no clue.

  5. Wow....i'd try to kill the bitch again!

    I'd dig her up and let her rot.

    So the popes ruining dreams of daughters this time instead of sons....................

    Sorry if I offended anyone but it was too good to pass up, you know with the Catholic church and all being involved.

    x2. It's a bunch of :bull: I seen a bunch of comments on yahoo just like that :lol: Everyone was saying the Catholic church needs the money... not.

  6. And you thought your mother was a bitch? Read this..

    A former mayoress from Adelaide has left her three daughters $1.50 each from a $3.5 million estate.

    Valmai Roche, who died last year at age 81, thought her daughters, Deborah Hamilton, Fiona Roche and Shauna Roche, had plotted to kill her.

    Roche left her daughters "30 pieces of silver of the lowest denomination" and jewellery if they could correctly answer questions relating to their mother's personal diaries, according to the Adelaide Advertiser.

    Her husband was also left 30 pieces of silver.

    The rest of Roche's estate has been left to Catholic charity Knights of the Southern Cross.

    Two of the daughters are to challenge the will, saying their mother was "delusional ".

    The case returns to the South Australian Supreme Court next month.

    Talk about a nice mother. She must've been the neighborhood favorite.

  7. I agree with the point of exclusives being the only way to judge. I think both consoles have their pros and cons. I honestly love my PS3. I like the fact that you can upgrade hard drives, to over 500 gig and mind you, for decently cheap. I really like the free PSN. I could care less about reporting, or cross game chat. I agree with james about not reporting and just leaving, that's the best way, and even on Xbox you probably do that anyways, even after you report them.

    Honestly it's always going to be a pissing match at which console is better, but all in all, when it comes down to it, I think the PS3 is a better deal.

  8. Nice.. Good work.. That huge timing belt you got there..

    That isn't a timing belt. It's the belt drive for the blower.. I hope you're joking, because you have engine swapping in your interests, so I hope you're being smart.. if not then...

    On a side note, the engine bay looks bad as hell. Hate to get an oil leak, that's for sure.

  9. It would really be helpful if you were to tell us what size tire you plan on running.. If you're going for a 2-3" lift, do body and save the money. You said it yourself its for street and never mentioned being off road.. Body lift-looks (Cheap, but looks retarded over 4") Suspension lift-Performance (Has a cost but worth it if you plan at all going off road.) So, tell us what you think of running. I personally have a buddy who has a 79 Bronco sittn on 39.5s.

    If you're handy, you can just use blocks.. but then again, I need to know what height you are looking to get/ size tire you wanna run to recommend anything.
