    low compression

    curiously... would it be in good practice to put a few drops in each cylinder when you change your plugs for preventative maintanence? Torinalth

    Kenne Bell, FTW.. Decisive Victory

    granted i am not an expert, but i do think there are a few things that are not directly applied to KB in this instance, feel free to correct me if i am wrong. first off, the blower RPM speed is a gear ratio... however its not your rear end gear ratio, its the pully "gear" size by the engine...

    Swapped in a UPR K-member!

    springs will need to be changed only if it doesnt suit your driving style... they should be harder springs for the convertable so they should be fine. contact the company and let them know what you have done and ask them their opinion... not like it will differ from mine... but you never...

    Need opinions ASAP PLEASE!!!

    you can buy mine. i have the steeda front tubular... i love it, but its hindering where i will be going in the end... my front suspension and wheel rate will be too much and the swaybar will be more of a hinderance. for a mild to medium setup they rock all... loved them... but for a fully...

    Got a few birthday pennies - Strut brace or LCAs?

    install is cake... single deep socket (think 20mm) 18mm standard and pop off the chasis end... axle end is smaller on both ends... and just a fllor jack to relieve pressure of the springs so you dont lose a hand when it oops loose. maybe 45 min job... the real pain in the ass is getting the...

    Torsen & Rear-end experts, I need your helping eyes

    "this hole is different then mine" is the same as your pic 3. the round holes are probably there spacifically to SHOW the gears inside the housing, rather then being there for a reason. i think its the same. also, i dont think its a torsen... tracloc maybe... but i coulda sworn the torsen...

    Carbon Fiber ds

    you could prolly send it back to have it reglued... minimal cost, or possible warranty. would be cheaper then the FRPP... least in my mind :P Torinalth

    Runnig Coilovers with "low" spring rates

    ehh.... i think you are on a slightly incorrect path. lemme re-read the entire post again to be sure though... ok i am going to ask for some clarification, but still give my advice, and then alter later if i am assuming incorrectly. i understand that you are looking for a good grib, but...

    Sub frame connector Question

    some companies do many bolt in (think griggs has a bolt in floor mount) but you really want welded on. otherwise you come back to the entire nuts backing off and other looseness comming from there being a bolt to wallow out a hole, vs having a beaded seam of metal to come apart. Torinalth

    Sub frame connector Question

    from what i have understood.... the difference you noticed going from nothing to standard subframes is less then the difference of feeling when going from standard to full length. biggest reason being that there is a lot of empty space on the standards when compared to connected area. full...

    Carbon Fiber ds

    MM has 4 lines... anywhere from adjustable to non, and a plethorah of bushing and design types. go full bore or dumbed down, they do it. and say no to steeda... Tom pulled a thread a while back about steeda bushings blowing out really easily now. Torinalth

    Carbon Fiber ds

    get the CF driveshaft. if you are already considering it, just do it. its been a proven good thing. i will be getting one myself when i get to that part of my car. its not "for high power only" cars... its good stuff in general. pricy, sure... worth it, arguable.... good product... yes...

    shocks and struts...

    RMA the bilsteins. the only reason i'd go with the D specs is to get adjustability if i absolutley needed it. considering most of those that i see with it have no idea what the hell they are doing, nor what changes they make do, nor why changes need to be more, or what the correct setup really...

    Lowering

    he is going more for looks over performance on this venue... go ahead and slam it. MM CC plater, HR supersports, and yank the isolators. will fill in the gaps really well. though i'd start saving for replacement dampeners. Torinalth

    tuners.wtf is +/- timing do ???

    Red gave you a good baseline to go on. for blown cars 11:1 is a good safe area. the higher the ratio the more power you make, but the more of a chance of detonation. same with timing... you can add degrees of timing to your tune, also known as spark advance. this will hit the plug sooner or...

    What all do I need for a 2.1L KB on Stock 03??

    2.1 has everything you need to get it installed and running correctly. something to note is that you can upgrade to the KB CAI and big tube kit with 90mm maf, not necessary though. aside from that there is nothing else to be done with the blower its self. at that point its just getting a...
