    Where can I get these wheels???

    I was looking at getting some XXR wheels, and i found alot of other forums talking about how cheap they are. Many of them cracked or all together shattered. They are nice looking wheels for a cheap price, but i worried alot about quality. I recently chose some TSW wheels. Maybe you should...

    OEM bottom end bearings

    If your replacing the bearings, you will need to resurface the crank shaft as well. And thats a lot of work just for some bearings, so i would just plan a whole bottom end rebuild for the better.

    intercooler sprayer

    Im sure once the intercooler is heatsoaked from some hard track times, it would help once the vehicle is in motion, but probably only by a few HP. I think its one of those "looks good on paper" theories.

    intercooler sprayer

    Just tap into the windshield washer fluid res and put an inline pump to spray the intercooler. The Lancer Evo's have it from factory, and since the washer fluid usually has alcohal in it, it makes for slightly lower evaporation temps than just water. Make sure the pump seals can handle the...

    sleepy eye mod

    Wow dude i think thats a little uncalled for. He has his own taste, and if he wants to mod his car in such a fasion, he can. If you dont like it then thats fine. I for one think its a very agressive look it gives to the MKIII's, and i too do plan on doing this mod when the time comes. Here is...

So far i have powdered the PS resivoir, and valve covers for my...

    carbon fiber: who wants what

    Entire rear hatch/w plexi window... Ultra light! A rear diffuser would be amazing! And a good carbon hood too. And if you made it with a slightly taller cowel, like an inch or inch and a half it would really look much more aggresive IMO. Door would be sweet too! Anything to lighten up the supra...
