They use them all the time on Mighty Car Mods, I might grab one eventually.

Costco has them on sale periodically. Looked like they were about $1000 with free pickup in store.

Does anyone have experience with quick jack lift? I am seriously considering ordering one (looks like home depot is the cheapest with free shipping).

Right? The way he spewed that shit makes me think he's the bot writing all the fake threads on here.

My favorite part is that he includes a recommended song list with 200 songs by Celtic Woman or some shit

I picked up the storage unit car from BHam, so I'm gonna need a passenger fender. Anyone have one locally before I order?

I thought a bad tps would make the car run lean at full throttle because it would fail to switch over to the wot fuel map? Ill order one if thats not the case though because that seems like an obvious answer if not.

[e30austin]

A bad TPS can absolutely cause a running rich condition. They all collectively give data that the DME uses to determine fuel mixture.

Sorry I should've given more background info,

I recently installed 17# injectors and the miller maf conversion on my e30, I then flooded my engine so rich that the bearings went kaput. I chalked it up to miller being shitty

so I swapped my motor out this past weekend and converted everything back to stock. I used everything from the "new" motor besides the tps sensor, O2 sensor (which is new), plugs (which are new), and the afm (which shouldnt be the problem because it ran rich with the miller maf setup?).

I guess a better question would be...
1. can a bad tps cause the car to run rich at full throttle?
2. how would one test to see if the fuel return line is plugged?

[e30austin]

Has your AFM anti-tamper cap for the adjustment screw been removed? If so, throw the AFM away, those are never to be messed with.

Test and/or replace your blue coolant temperature sensor, too.

[vtechnik]

So I've replaced my O2 sensor and spark plugs but my car still runs really rich at full throttle (quite a bit of black smoke at full throttle), anyone have any ideas on how i should diagnose it? Its a stock m20b25, stock afm, stock injectors, and a stock chip.

[djjerme]

I’d frame the box and probably throw the E30 parts in the scrap bin.

If I had something shipped to me like that I would poo in my pants

Kooglewerks ships spoilers in some wood crates that are pretty cool, but not nearly that level of crazy.

[adam.nonis]

I shipped calipers like this....



lol, but I was trying to show off a bit. FedEx loved it. Has no problems shipping that way.
