I just recently completed Eibach lowering springs and anti-sway bars upgrade on my 08 Infiniti G37S Coupe. My question is when and where should I use threadlocker (red/blue) or Loctite? Different sources say different things, but is there a rule of thumb for applying these adhesives?

Inside Look: Dino Crescentini's StopTech Porsche 911 GT3
By Steve Rockwood
Carroll Shelby once said that to make a small fortune racing, you must first spend a large one. Of course, Mr. Shelby was also the spokesperson of some snake oil company that combines the last letter of the alphabet with the shortened version of the word maximum when Global Motorsports Group (GMG) became more than a twinkle in its founders' eyes. Founded in 2001 by James Safronas and Fabryce Kutyba, GMG started its existence in a 1200 sq ft facility, and has since grown to fill its current 15,000 sq ft stable with high-end hardware that features charging bulls, prancing horses and a slew of crests from Stuttgart. One of the many purebreds GMG looks after is the Pirelli World Challenge GT #4 StopTech Porsche 911 GT3, driven by Dino Crescentini, CEO of Centric Parts and StopTech.

In part 2, I cover most of the engine and some of the drama with the engine and engine installation. Racing's never easy is it? I included pictures of some of the engine's internals and components selected for the turbo Mazda DISI/MZR hybrid power plant.
I have a 1996 Mazda Miata with a Jackson Racing MP45 supercharger and an ECU controlled Aquamist water/methanol injection system. The water tank I use is about 3/4 gallon in size, so when I fill it up with straight windshield washer fluid (no additives, just water and methanol) I'm running the tank dry well before my 30 min. track session is complete.
Project Garage, Part 3: New Flooring
Last installment’s bright lighting only illuminated how horrible the concrete floors were starting to look. From oil changes and swapping brake rotors to cam installs and shock inserts, Project Garage was getting more business than a Pep Boys Fast and Furious sale.

Speedtech Motorsports in New Zealand has the AMS drag EVO in their crosshairs. Watch the 8.63 run and read about some of the car's trick details inside.
Aston Martin goes over 220mph with the Cosworth designed and built 7.3L V-12. Click the image above for more details.
It's a good thing I have AAA Plus with 100 mile towing. After 22,000 super hard miles the SST transmission fails, but then again so would any other.
The DSPORT BCNR33 GT-R Makes 1100hp at the wheels. This full weight, full interior, street driven shoots for 9.30's.......but doesn't quite get there.
