I'd like to use something that can measure the amount of fluid going in, but will still work like a pump so I can transfer fluid from under the car.

Any ideas???
I use something that looks like a grease gun, with a hose at the end. Its made for drawing fluids out, but I use it to fill and it works great. The canister holds about half a quart. I use the "fill til drip" method...not very accurate, but work.

I want a pump gas tune and have been meaning to ask you about it. I want to be able to run a HPDE this summer and e85 won't cut it for that

I used the same thing chu uses. I tried a brake bleeder that ran off the air tank but the orifice was just too thin. The drivetrain fluid is so damn viscous!

Chu, that gives me an idea. I used a syringe type device when I would fill up my procharger. It only needed 4oz of oil, anymore and it would blow a seal, any less and you would run the risk of damaging the gear drive. I can probably make something like that on a larger scale...

What I use is exactly like a syringe.

Petey let me know what EBCS u feel like tuning because ever since I fixed that boost leak on the bov my old tune needs a refresh. And I figured out why we didn't make as much on the dyne last time.

chicka chicka yeaaaaa. nice reference there. man i cant wait for the spring track days! yall are getting me pumped up!

I cant believe a damn shopping cart toasted my bumper mesh and scrapped the hell outts the bottom bumper. good thing the car is so low, avoided hitting the body.

who all here runs no mesh in the front? mines all white anyway, been debating taking it out and re-painting or just pulling it all out. tho I dont have a bada$$ IC to show off and i dont like the idea of rocks meeting fins on the highway. looks like the bumper may be coming off this week!

T- minus 72 hours until I am in VT prepping for my first ski venture out this year. cant wait. going to be so outta shape for skiing but w/e. conditions will hopefully be decent. my whole body feels like its falling apart, shoulders, hip, ankle, head, everything hurts, and I am trying to stay away from the OCs.

glucosamine FTW!

Just take your bumper off, undo all the screws holding on the mesh and repaint that ish. I did mine, it looks a million times better now. I just need to do the mesh on my hood..

Today has been some what of a productive day, I ordered my springs (not in stock though) and I ordered new nuts from TF for my spacers.

yea grillo I need to do both the lower mesh and the hood. I also need to "un-dent" the mesh from the shopping cart. did you just use autozone spray paint? dont want it chipping right away looking like crap again.

maybe I should say screw it and get a JMF or BFIC, trim the crash beam and go JDM baller status on the stock 8 turbo with no mesh and rep hard! haha kidding

I used Rustoleum I think... Semi-gloss black I believe.

I do not suggest running with the mesh, nothing good is going to come from that.
