    fortune 500 coilover reviews

    from what I've read and from experiences I've heard from. Going with a good set of shocks and spring combo would be the most cost effective solution for your plans. The coilovers would only be ideal if you mainly track or you need control over your lowering.

    this is dripping water on my downpipe what is it?

    I positioned the pipe to drip away from the downpipe and that fixed the problem, but I'm curious as to why that started to drip and steam off out of the whole time I've had the car

    full flow oil cooler conversion question

    My oil cooler lines are leaking on my 7mgte. So I figure its time to convert the stock oil cooler pressure relief valve with the 7mge n/a filter stud to remote thermostat. My question is that when I look at the tsrm for the oil line #2 it looks like it connects to the block, but from the...

    this is dripping water on my downpipe what is it?

    So I've noticed that sometimes a cloud of smoke will intermittently come out from the sides of my car. It's not oil and I don't seem to be losing coolant. Checking under the car I've noticed a protruding pipe that is dripping water and I believe that to be the culprit hitting my down pipe under...

    Throwing on a Driftmotion CT2657trim - Headgasket First??

    Read and watch some video on YouTube about sanding the block. I'm going to attempt the same thing. The machine shop I sent my head to said they are getting my head to about 20 ra. So I'm thinking about sanding my block and slapping on a metal head gasket instead of the oem

    auto to r154 manual ecu

    So I've googled a bit and understand I can use the auto ecu I currently have after splicing for the neutral bypass safety and reverse lights. However would I need to do the splicing if I run a manual ecu on the auto harness? I found someone selling their manual ecu and its from a 91 mine's a 90.

    Throwing on a Driftmotion CT2657trim - Headgasket First??

    I'm in that same boat of needing a straight edge but can't justify spending 70 dollars on something I'm only using once in a blue moon. Anyone want to rent their straight edge out for a fee on top?

    s2000

    lucky me i'm 5'6 asian 160lbs so form fitting isn't much of a concern. I think the Japanese kind of built it with my frame in mind lol Yeah all signs from research point to test driving the s2000 Just the biggest downfall is security on that thing. I love how I don't have to worry about...

    s2000

    I've enjoyed and love the mk3 that I have. I love it's rarity, the torque from the 7m. I've gotten it to breathe well and the stock turbo spools nicely with the upgrade intercooler. However I'm concerned with pushing it and fully enjoying the car as I have some hoses/belts/ and overall I...

    r154 from 4runner

    I've found a good deal on a r154 from a 4runner. Was just wondering if the tailhousing is useable in the swap, or is it a different length?
