    Need help with my hks coilovers

    Will my system be able to handle running 6 55w HID's at the same time?

    Laws are goofy about lights. Most of them are listed as actually being in use (i.e. on) while others say forward facing. It's why some places require offroad lights to have covers on them when driven on road.

    Seafom

    What part of the engine? Definately don't put it in the oil, and you could do much the same effect as sucking it into the intake by using water to steam clean the cylinders. Fuel system, run a decent fuel and you won't have issues... I've never once seen a car run better after a seafoam...
