    How often do you scrape your front lip?

    I'm thinking of going back to stock because my front lip looks like garbage now. I should have never thrown out that factory front lip.

    How often do you scrape your front lip?

    I have a Bomex 3 hole lip on my 89 and it scrapes on everything. The car is lowered on eibach prokits and I run 18" front wheels. My poor lip is cracked and scraped and even bottoms out sometimes when I try and slowly back out of driveways or negotiate dips in the road. Does everyone else...

    Fuel System Upgrades?

    Well, the first ones that come to mind would be the Walbro 255 lph fuel pump which would run you somewhere in the neighborhood of $110. I would also recommend getting an APFR, can't remember the cost but I believe it would be somewhere in the area of $150 for an Aeromotive AFPR. I would also...

    Raced MazdaSpeed6

    I have a 2007 Speed6 and they are great cars. If you can keep up with one then you have a decently fast car. If launched properly they can fly off the line. Because I live in Canada, I throw on snow tires in the winter and the speed6 kicks ass. I was surprised how quick they are in...

    Planning Mods....Need Opinions/Advice Pls.

    I keep hearing this and it makes me wonder if I should just sell the one I have. When I bought the car the seller included a used RPS clutch which he never installed.

    Planning Mods....Need Opinions/Advice Pls.

    Forgot to mention that I have a FJO wideband monitoring the A/F ratios. I have been looking at the maftpro and imagine that I will probably go that route. The motor is in fantastic condition and ready for more power so I don't need to mess with maintanence yet. Thanks

    Cars First Dyno

    I thought so as well. I've heard that Mustang dynos have lower readings but don't really know if they are more accurate than other dynoes. 269 is huge for just those mods. I don't know if my numbers are lower than most other people's with similar mods but I'm hoping to get some more responses.

    ideas

    Turbo, non-turbo....what engine are you getting? Either way, a few hundred bucks may only be enough to take care of general maintenance.

    7mge to 7mgte or 1jzgte?

    I have a 7m, 3 inch exhaust and downpipe, intake, lexus afm and 550 injectors, spearco IC and hardpipes, and blitz ebc. This car has great low end torque and is a monster at 13 psi. The car spools quickly and is great to drive. I'm happy with the 7mgte. I haven't driven a 1j or 2j but I know...

    Stereo in place of ashtray and lighter?

    Thanks for the info and opinions guys. I've looked at it and I'm gonna give it a shot. I think if I can get it to fit in that location properly it will look really good. I'm looking at a Pioneer deck that plays CD's MP3's has an iPod hookup and Bluetooth hands free calling. After I'm done...
