go front strut bar and sway bars.... front and back.... even with stand springs and shocks, you will still easily out manevour most cars....

you trying to get me broke?! :)

you keep giving me ideas to add more mods to the car, probably end up doing a RB25DET engine transplant and a T88 and nos.... :headspin:

yeh but dont forget exhaust...will be lower than your standard one

not really benny boy... max piping size for NA should only be 2.25 inch catback and muffler size is almost same as stock....

you go anything more than 2.25, you will lose back pressure.... less torqy....

ME giving you ideas?? :confused:

i would go handling first..... no point spending thousands to squeeze a few more KWs outa the car...

awesome handling makes you a better driver...

I've got a twin cannister 3.5" exhaust sitting in the garage :)

ya, I'm going for tyres first Glenn costing me a butt load too.... almost half my uni tuition.

can sometimes even be just be the gaskets or rubber mountings.. gaskets are like $2.50 to replace

where can i get this checked out? at a normal garage???

yup.. not cheap..

krawler: no.. they're just spring and shock setup.. i sold my old set for $200, they were sitting around for ages

Doesnt coil over simply mean the coil is over the shock?

Meaning that most cars are coil over factory.. The term coil over is normally targetting adjustable gear though.

i know... It was on the NA, but got it taken off for compliancing.. and power loss.

now i'm stuck with a stupid rattle.

get 2 jacks and a creepboard.... rip out the heat shield....

if not the heat shield... hammer the resonator gently to check for rattling...

i think the difference is.. with coilovers, the shock is actually welded to the bottom of the spring, and they are basically one unit and cannot be separated. Most things can be adjustable.

With a spring and shock setup the springs and shocks can be separated and changed independently. In that setup you can adjust the shock, but not the actually spring height or anything like that.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
