Friday, September 28th, 2007

Yep, we’re giving away a Pioneer AVIC-D3  – a $1,000+ DVD nav system — to one lucky reader. And all you have to do is comment to win. 
Not that you’re not already posting your thoughts here — and deserve a hearty “thank you” from me and the rest of the FullOnCustom community — but when you post a […]

Fly or Why? Cold Air Intakes

Friday, September 28th, 2007

In our JET-HOT coatings coverage, frequent reader Fong brought up a great question: generally speaking, how much do we trust aftermarket parts manufacturer’s claims? One claim that I always take with a large hunk of sodium chloride is the idea that cold air intakes make power.
I think in theory, the science bears the claims out: cooler, […]

Yokohama Dreamin’

Friday, September 28th, 2007

Yokohama’s Advan A048 tires aren’t really meant for the street, but I want them anyway. When you really stop and think about it, this isn’t the kind of gear have to need to appreciate, anyway. They’re basically track with just enough “tread” — and we use that word loosely — on them to snag a […]

Ride of the Day: 1986 Pontiac Fiero

Friday, September 28th, 2007

The process of crafting a one-of-a-kind ride starts with vehicle selection — and (at least in our book) you earn extra style points for starting with something bland and boring because taking it a direction no one else would consider. Chris from Pennsburg, Pennsylvania took his ‘86 Fiero — nicknamed “Witch” — and gave it […]

The Hummer H2 Skyjacker Lift Kit

Friday, September 28th, 2007

When is a truck too high? If you answer “Never. There’s no such thing!” then you’re on the same page with Skyjacker. They’ve got lift kits for nearly any truck you can think of, though our favorite has to be the Hummer H2 lift. The kit gives you a 5.5” lift over and above the […]

Budget Bling: Storing Your Cars On The Cheap

Friday, September 28th, 2007

We recently showed you Harbor Freight’s knockoff version of a motorcycle dolly. That’s great if you’ve got a bike to move around, but what if you’ve got a project car instead? Griot’s Garage has a really popular set of hydraulic portable car lifts, but they start at $300. Harbor Freight has your back here, too, […]

GM Performance Parts’ Programmable Transmission Control Module

Friday, September 28th, 2007

In the old days, you could buy a “shift kit” for your transmission — basically a box with some steel balls, and valve bodies. And oh yeah, you had to be a nuclear physicist (or have a lot of transmission experience) to install the sucker. Today’s electronically-controlled transmissions are a bit easier to upgrade. All […]
