    Sooo...

    Patience and knowing where to look is key. There are many nice,clean, and even orginal ones all around. I am the second owner of mine and drove 12 hours for her. I wanna say, it was well worth it. You have to know what your looking for to find it.

    Hallman Pro MBC Q's

    Picked up a Hallman mbc locally and installed it. Easy as i thought. I now have a few Q's reguarding the mbc. Currently its getting its boost source from the CT26 Housing Nipple/line and of course back into the wastegate actuator. I did multiple test runs only seeing 6psi with adjustments going...

    Detecting spark/ignition breakup at high rpm

    I had a very similar issue as i thought mine was fuel/spark related. Turns out, it was a leaky/leaking BOV. Mostly "missed" in higher RPMs in 3rd!

    failed smog twice.. need some suggestions

    I failed recently also. The culprit can be anything. I mean that literally. For me, all it was, was the vacuum/hose from the charcoal canister to the firewall/tank? That hose was hard and brittle as a focker! TIPS - run the car at minimal 15 mins prior to test -adding LUCAS/Chevron techron...

    suspension

    If u really want coilovers and ur on a budget, id say ur best bet would be the megan ones. Ive heard really good reviews about them all around. And besides, thats probably the cheapest ones youll find for brand new. Just dnt get godspeeds. A local member got em and they pretty much took a shit...

From what ive seen, the lowest youll be paying for a new set of coilovers would be around $700-800 shipped to your door. A used set may run you around ~$450-600 depending on the quality/brand. If its just...
