Review: Slime Tire Inflator and Vacuum 2-In-1

I was waiting for that first really cold day of the season. That cold day is easily identifiable by the glow of the “low tire pressure” light on one’s dashboard. But this year, unlike past years, I welcomed my little idiot light. That’s because I had a new product that I was just waiting to…

It wasn’t all good just a week ago. But today is a new day, and with it we have light… dash lights, to be exact. The fix is simple. The results are exactly what I wanted. https://hooniverse.com/2018/11/20/breaking-benz-its-not-always-a-wrenching-win/ Let’s call this one a wrenching win.

Teaser: Changes coming to the Stormtrooper 4Runner

comments
It’s finally happening: the Stormtrooper 4Runner is about to receive some very desperately needed upgrades. “What’s in the box?,” you ask? No, it’s not ARB armor– though that is what the company has come to be known for here in the ‘States. Rather, the contents of the deceptively large package are goodies from Australian suspension…

Cunningham Motorsports Tunes Project Unicorn- 2001 Corvette Z06

View this post on Instagram A post shared by BRC Raceworks (@brc_raceworks) When I first drove the Z06, I figured some of the drivability issues I was experiencing was simply from the fact that this is a “big cam” car. Turns out that’s not the case. The tune on the C5z was three years old…

Introducing Project Unicorn: 2001 Speedway White Corvette Z06

It started in late 2002. In a very transitional period of my life, I moved from Texas to North Carolina to live with family before I joined the Navy. Temporary employment was necessary so in an effort to make decent money I decided that car sales was something I needed to do. A local Chevrolet…

Project Car SOTU: '95 Acura Integra GS-R

comments
Ah, yes, my beloved 1995 Acura Integra GS-R. A good friend of mine was nice enough to store it for me over the cold winter months. Now, two and a half years later, I got it out of there as he had to sell the place. As you may expect, exactly nothing happened to the…

What do the 1960-1965 Ford Falcon and Ranchero, ‘64.5-66 Mustang, ’70-’77 Maverick, ’75-’80 Granada, ’60-’65 and ’71-77 Mercury Comet, ’75-’80 Mercury Monarch and ’77-’80 Lincoln Versailles have in common? About 80% of their engineering. That laundry list represents something like 5 million cars. Between the high sales volume and the generally unloved status of many…

Project Car SOTU: The Wombat

This one has been a long road, and we’re still far from the end. I bought this 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300TD back in 2013. My dreams and plans were filled with smoky burnouts, roadtrips with my family, and living that longroof lifestyle. None of that happened. The shop we first used for this build managed to fit…

We’ve all been there, past the point of frustration and agony and anger and heartbreak and “I fucking hate this giant metal piece of shit,” cresting the point of “why do I even do this?” and stepping well into the territory of, “I’d be better off if I had no involvement in this whatsoever.” I…

Project Car SOTU: The Benz

comments
I just call it The Benz, but really my 1974 Mercedes-Benz 280 sedan is often referred to as Sunday Morning. This is a car that I bought to shuttle my daughter around in, which I could not do in my 1965 Ford F100. And so it serves as a great daily driver and daycare express…
