    What brand to get for a thermostat?

    The seals will not leak by switching to synthetic, that is a myth. The only reason seals would leak by doing so is if the seals were already deteriorated and being sealed up by gunk and grime only. Synthetic oil does a great job of cleaning out gunk, grime, and deposits, so if that's the only...

    Ok, I guess its my turn

    Don't worry about the clean sound, the Eclipse 5000 series delivers ;). I love the sound of the bass it puts out also, very unique sounding from any other head unit I've heard. I think it sounds best with the bass down to -6 and the treble up to +6 and non-fader turned up to about 8 out of 16...

    blown head gasket help!! questions

    The price of a port and polish (if you don't do it yourself) can get the bottom end done on a stock level. Scrap the JDM idea, all it is, is a used, beat on japanese motor, not much different from the american counterpart you can find in your local junk yard.

    max boost

    If you have a properly installed MHG, boost is he least of it's worries (the gasket). You will blow something else up before a properly prepped and installed MHG With ARP hardware will go... If you don't believe me, ask a few on here who have done this (IJ. for example).

    Hey SM I need Some help buying a couple Parts

    Yes, the t-stat will recirculate the oil back into the engine and not let it into the oil cooler until the designated temp. has been reached, 180* is your best bet here. The purpose of it is to get the oil warmed up as quick as possible, then maintain the oil at it best area of operating temp by...

    Ok, I guess its my turn

    Yep, yours is in the same series as mine, the 5000 series. I've got the 5V preout also and let me tell you, it makes an amp pushing subs feel like it's twice as powerful. :evil: I've got two Alphasonic 800 series 10's in a vented box (big em' effer) and they have gotten so loud that my ears...

    Hey SM I need Some help buying a couple Parts

    NP ;). If you lived closer, I'd just give you the big one I have, but like I said, you have to cut it open to baffle it, then reweld it shut, or think of a way to make it where you can take the top on and off and still have a perfect seal...

    I personally wouldn't risk it, try a setup with the AFM housing still in place.

    Repeated Clutch Master Cylinder Failure

    I thought about saying something to this effect when I first read the post, but I didn't want to come across as arrogant or anything, but you were very professional in your approach to it ;). Too bad a good multiplate clutch system costs so damn much compared to what else is out there...

    Engine Overheats after driving, and speedo stopped. What could be the Problem???

    Another BHG could. The coolant system, when running properly will burp itselt. Check you radiator cap and t-stat.

    Engine Overheats after driving, and speedo stopped. What could be the Problem???

    Speedo cable probably broke, or isn't connected all the way on the back of the cluster.
