Just want to add that the driftmotion supplied screws are rusting and bleeding rust on everything. Really crappy unprotected metal. So just buy your own screws when you do this job.

Hi guys, i wanted to do a quick write up on the install of the Driftmotion hatch bump stop kit on my 87. Starting with the cylinder shaped stops under the wing, they pull right out with a twist, no screws. To install the new ones, i assumed the same technique would work, and it did...for the...

What brand were the new bushings? How was the fit after removing this outer sleeve? Any issues in the 2 years since?

The strange thing is that the silicon hose fit just fine on the back of the engine between the valve covers, but the other end required a 3/4".....

@plaaya i bought that same 3/4 fitting but it measured 5/8 and was too small for my silicon hoses. Are those the oem hoses?

The other day i was replacing my coolant hoses and noticed that the bottom heater control valve hose had never been touched. After removing the 2 hoses i saw how deteriorated the outlets were. I did some reading and decided to bypass the valve instead of trying to replace it. From what i...

Um yeah, i want to talk to someone who is able and willing to explain it to me and future visitors in plain english without being sarcastic a-holes. Thats not a guide its a thread with a bunch of measurements thats greek to me, ive never even heard of offset before, why is it so hard to get...

I have KYBs all around with stock coils. Stock suspension parts. I want to go back to 16s but with more sidewall, and still staggered. Im thinking something like: 235/60/16 front 265/60/16 rears Is the wheel guide on this website?

Hey guys, im running 225/35/18 in front and 245/35/18 rears. Id really like to go a little bigger on the sidewalls while still keeping the 18s. I just get way too much NVH transfer straight to my bones from the street. Does anyone have bigger wheels than me? Whats the biggest i can fit...

4 minutes ago · #5 Oh and as for the sound, with the baffle installed, at idle its actually very close if not the same volume as the stock sound. With the baffle out at idle, its noticeably louder but not 'paranoid of getting pulled over' loud. Im very happy with the sound, one of my biggest...

So now that im all finished i want to add my final insights/takeaway. Starting at the turbo downpipe, the original had a long heatshield held on by 3 clamps, the first of which simultaneously attached to the bracket on the transmission. This heat shield was impossible to use for the new 3"...

I wanted to write here what i would have liked to have known before i jumped under the car. Parts: There are 2 rubber donuts holding up the muffler, 2 donuts behind it, one of those non-donut rubber hangers just before the muffler, 2 more donuts before that, And 2 more donuts up by...

OP UPDATE: Please read the entire thread before adding a post, it can be confusing for other people. Just to clarify, we were dealing with 2 seperate pumps. The first replacement was deemed defective. The 2nd was leaking from the ORING on the inlet. The one that came with the rebuilt pump...

Pulled the reservoir with the hose and inlet tube still attached. No evidence of any leaks from either end of the hose, but my instinct maintained that the oring was definitely too scrawny. So even though science would say that anything above the leak will leak, and i had already seen the...

I removed the reservoir and hose to find the inlet tube brimming with fluid. Meaning that the Oring is sealing, so i used a piece of an10 stainless hose i had leftover and got rid of the silicon hose that was on there. Thats about as far as i got when the godforsaken portland rain kicked up...
