  1. Do you mean: What does the increase in pressure indicate for a problem? If so, then it means you could have bad piston rings. Pressure should be ~equal across all cylinders as a rule. If you add a bit of oil to it and re-perform the test, and the pressure goes up... then basically the oil helped seal the pistons allowing it to compress the air in the cylinder (therefor pressure goes up). When the pressure is low to start with like that, it means that some of the air inside the cylinder on top of the piston is leaking by the rings into the space created under the piston and around the rods.
  2. It sounds like a decent turnout and then as I mentioned earlier there seems to be another meet just a few blocks away. Are you thinking of making the trip down?- figuring out if its worth it?
  3. Yeah, I have to find a good way to secure it to the frame while being easy enough to take apart so that I can wash it for cleanliness and the ability to shrink it down a little if it sags. I dont plan on rocking this forever, but just until I get reupholstered seats. Then again once I secure it properly it might look good enough to keep even after new seats. I might fold it up and just lay it across the top of the backseat.
  4. Can these be used to run an SR20VE?- or do you plan on making one?
  5. Great application, fender looks great!
  6. Neither are flaming pistons... Either way, Im new around here, but welcome back. Always glad to see someone come back to the game. Sweet shop you got there, wish I wasnt in an apartment with no workspace.
  7. Unfortunately the backseat in the Datto wasnt the best. The previous owner said it was a POS so he took over the vinyl cover to have it redone. Well that never happened... so now I have a foam and filler backseat that Im scared to ruin. ALl this means I have to rock the car as a two-seater and cant put anything in the back. The seat itself (save the cover) is in great condition and I want to keep it that way. It looks like this: A little dirty, but foam is perfect. I figured I wanted to recover the seat, but I want to do all the seats in the same style and dont have the money to do that yet. What am I to do?! I had a fantastic idea born in my heritage as a mexican Southern Californian and decided to purchase a new cover in a color that matched the car. Now I give you this: Its not the most elegant solution, but it works. It allows me to have people in the seat and put groceries etc without the threat of ruining the foam. Now I can just wash the blanket instead of trying to wash foam and weird hay filler. Its not perfect yet, as its kind of loosely held on there, but I think Im going to buy some of those elastic sheet stays to stretch it a little tighter and make sure it staying in postion. For $30 I think it will be great.
  8. Awesome. Thanks for the images... I think these are going to be the way to go for me. Bolt on easy and cheap for coilovers.
  9. Testing it before you buy is probably a good idea since the kid cant guarantee anything like an importer can. $1000 is a pretty good price though so I would mos def want to go check it out.
  10. You have to use the image button or wrap the address in tags. Ill just cut and paste the link, thanks!

    Cali rat project

    That airdam really isnt my style, but the rims and body work look great.
  12. Saying you will trade beer for parts doesnt help out the rep of residents of Sedro Woolley.
  13. Here Ill do it for you: Yo Dawg I heard you liked logos, so we put a logo in your logo so you could represent while you represent.
  14. Definitely not the worst thing Ive ever seen.
  15. You could always try to get into demonoid.me They have excellent torrents and Ive seen plenty of full CS5 downloads there. Anyway good luck with your logos for whatever you need them for.
  16. Im not a big truck guy, but I would so rock a Brat (or subi ute). Old school and legit.
  17. Do you want each picture the same size as the state? Edit: Something like this?
  18. Its smallpox infested asbestos. Make sure you wash your hands when youre done...
  19. Im a graphic designer by trade... I was just using PSCS5 actually. Im a little confused on what youre trying to describe though.
  20. On most of my vehicles I shave the antenna, though for my 510 I plan on keeping it since its a little nostalgic. Anyway, on the other cars to still keep the radio you can buy an aftermarket antenna which is basically a sticker that is applied to in inside corner of your windshield. You could always do that...
  21. What is your guys planned route? Maybe we can get an even bigger caravan if you come west on the 90 then south on the 5. The caravan could pick up people near and around Seattle/Tacoma. Epic car train.
