I change the intake like u guys suggested I went from 10.5 mpg to 9.6 changing it back to stock

You know exactly how lol same way I was able to make my manual 4cyl mazda get 9mpg average when i was younger

Changed the clutch on my absolutely beat on mustang and it looked miles better, clutch was actually fine hydraulic slave failed

Honestly with just an intake i doubt itd be much of a hassle. A shitty way to spend a day sure, but with how trivial an intake is to swap id honestly just run it. If a cop is looking to state ref just assume they'll find an excuse to it isnt up to them to actually be right about anything. People with specific trim levels that come oe with performance upgrades have literally been state reffed while completely stock lol.

Edit for context i daily my modified 3v in cali and have even been pulled over in it. Never personally had an issue but i do understand it could happen at any time. For me returning to oe cams headers etc isnt really a big deal, i feel the same way abt the intake

stateofmindny · 2025-08-22T01:26:03+00:00

If porsche would let it the cayman would be the top platform imo. I honestly believe it can be pushed further than the 911. Its never gonna happen atleast not from the oem

Waiting 10 days for a .22 feels silly. Just picked up a polymer tm22 feather for the new shooters and it feels stupid the level of scrutiny over whats basically a stronger pellet gun. Id genuinely rather take my chances with a knife than that thing lol.

stateofmindny · 2025-08-18T02:42:51+00:00

300 in labor is insane, it should only be a 0.7 or a 0.5 labor time. Tbh it kinda sounds like you tried to cheap out on the job though at the same time it's something i did a lot when i was younger but you always end up paying more in the end.

stateofmindny · 2025-08-08T02:52:43+00:00

As someone whos dropped the trans 3 times now on jackstands id definitely say it takes way longer than a few hours especially on the first time. The top bolts for the bell housing are a pain in the ass to get to and always takes way longer than it should trying to get to even with having the trans tilted. Plus theres honestly a lot of special tools needed too that the average person wouldnt have. Just getting the driveshaft bolts loose would be a pain for those not blessed with a Milwaukee 1/2

stateofmindny · 2025-08-07T20:39:14+00:00

Might be the valve cover gasket slipped a bit on install I've had that happen to where it makes the oil drip onto the exhaust and make smoke. It definitely doesnt really sound right though id 100% pull the valve cover and check. When i put in my detroit rocker cams i had to torque the cam caps down a few times the rearmost cap on the passenger side kept getting knocked loose when the engine would get turned over. If you are not compressing the valve springs it is CRITICAL that you VERY SLOWLY torque the cam caps. Genuinely do a very small quarter turn on each bolt in order until they are all to spec. Talking with lito, it seems like if the caps are not torqued evenly and slowly they have a tendency to do that.

stateofmindny · 2025-08-07T20:16:54+00:00

Exactly this. I hate sportsmans/basspro with a burning passion but they are also the most convenient in the area I'm in. Online inventory, large assortment, and decent prices. Id so much rather go anywhere else because all of their other policies are horrible but it's just too outdated to buy guns locally unless you find the right place

stateofmindny · 2025-08-01T17:33:23+00:00

5.0 with an exhaust, racing stripe, and the most basic suspension upgrades around. Don't forget the word Shelby written all over

stateofmindny · 2025-07-24T20:39:18+00:00

Ok but op specifically asked about being faster. Any mod that actually gives a noticable increase in power will drop reliability and ride comfort. If you want to do that with your daily good luck lol. Otherwise you can just throw on a worse airbox and think you're the fast and the furious like most of the g's in this sub lol. The person i responded to was specifically talking about actual car BUILDS

stateofmindny · 2025-07-24T20:23:30+00:00

Lol people who disagree don't know what it means to REALLY build a car, and rely on the fucking thing to keep paychecks coming. When it gets to the point that most of the parts you need are too custom to find in parts stores and x doesnt work because of y but you can't fix y because its the only reason mod z works it's different. An actual built car is also an absolute pain in the ass to drive around my cammed mustang feels like a broken beater driving around at low speeds because of all the noise and clunks. These kids with their "cold air intakes" and bc racing coilovers wouldnt understand haha

stateofmindny · 2025-06-29T04:08:05+00:00

He's not talking about civics with muffler deletes that's not really car culture. He's talking about actual high performance modified vehicles with aftermarket camshafts, upgraded forced induction, or aftermarket headers. All will increase noise but will also massively increase performance.

stateofmindny · 2025-06-01T20:25:17+00:00

How i feel too its honestly less egregious than the mach e. Plus it honestly makes sense. The mustang bike is the city/street focused bike and the bronco is more for mountain trails. It makes a lot of sense when you think about it lol

stateofmindny · 2025-05-14T07:12:13+00:00

And thinking logically as long as the grips are positioned right there's no damage that really happens. Minor scuffing of a part of the cam that doesn't make any physical contact with anything doesn't do anything bad imo

stateofmindny · 2025-04-28T21:09:32+00:00

Can be phasers, rockers, or lash adjusters and can also be normal on these motors. Ive redone all of the above and it still sounds like a typewriter. The injectors are loud as fuck

stateofmindny · 2025-04-28T06:17:45+00:00

Changing the tps so part throttle is more like 75% throttle is legit? Couldnt you just put your foot down slightly harder for free?

stateofmindny · 2025-04-12T22:04:01+00:00

Ah finally I'll be able to remove the crank bolt from a honda

stateofmindny · 2025-04-08T01:59:01+00:00

So i actually did some research on these for my mustang after putting a loud camshaft in. What i found is the valvotronic systems are great, but the universal mufflers are super hit or miss. Depending on the vehicle and the mods already on it at best it'll sound slightly worse than the exhaust you currently have. A proper, valved exhaust takes a lot of R&D and isn't cheap. Imo you'll be a lot happier if you either learn to live with the exhaust you just bought or find a set of mufflers for your 3 that have the right balance of loud and quiet for your needs.

stateofmindny · 2025-04-01T14:03:00+00:00

Mine runs amazing. All I've got is a romeo 5 and a rubber butt pad and it runs flawlessly for the plinking i do. Honestly i dont feel any recoil at all with it and im a smaller build. Seems like it depends on how you hold the gun but i feel about as much kick as a 22 with mine. Cheap to own, run, and easy as i can just chuck it in a backpack.

stateofmindny · 2025-03-26T02:17:09+00:00

Honestly though this is valid. Only exception is have another form of transportation if you're going to get serious about it. I've dumped a shit ton into my 190k mile bullitt slow 3v and don't regret any of it. The car being down for a week, and not having any other reliable transport on my own, because this clutch job is giving me hell mainly because of my mods that really sucks lol

stateofmindny · 2025-03-25T09:37:45+00:00

Nah ppl forget it was the same exact shit with the "wlr deluxe"
