    non painted 2.5 inch cowl induction?

    Is it fibreglass or carbon fibre? If it's a steel hood I'd let it go. If it's a lightweight hood I'll take it if you don't!

    sound off 3.55's or 3.73's

    The only reason I would pick 3.55's if I had to do it again would be because my 2nd gear tops out a little too soon at auto-x. For street/strip use, 3.73 all the way!

    Symptoms of faulty water pump?

    Hissin: what would you recommend for fan setting? I tried putting in the jumper for 13 degrees cooler or whatever it does, and it kept blowing fuses. It's been working "alright" but I don't know if I trust this controller, it seems kinda flakey, but it's gotten really good reviews here so...

    Symptoms of faulty water pump?

    It is the OEM pump so I'm figuring after 19 years of faithful service it's about time for a replacement anyways Maby I'll just swap it for good measure, but before I do that I'm definately going to take the belt off and spin the pump by hand and see if I feel anything weird

    DCCONTROL.COM Who has ordered from there?

    Took ~7 weeks and 2 unreplied to (to this date) emails to get my dccontrol unit, and I had to redo all the connections because they were just crimped, not soldered The unit itself is great and works like a charm, but don't expect to ever get a reply. Poor business practices for sure

    chassis stiffening

    I got my maximum motorsports full length subframes for under $200, I don't remember exactly how much. They just weld onto the bottom of the car, they don't go through the floor at all. Made a HUGE difference, would definately recommend it
