    Alignment and tires can also play into it as well.

    Low profile headlights

    Fog lights will never EVER produce the beam required for a headlight, period. Not to mention you have 6 lights which is illegal as well, and wouldn't pass inspection in most states. I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm really not, I'd just rather not see someone get hurt. Lighting is safety...

    Low profile headlights

    The give away is you talking aobut "needing" your fogs. You have an overbright foreground, and no throw, EXACTLY what fog lamps are designed to output. They're made to supply a wide difused light without a hotspot, without said hotspot, you have no throw. Your headlights are downright...

    words cant explain!

    Or it's simply stuck on the guide pins like it always is, and needs to be wiggled.

    Low profile headlights

    No, the entire headlight is different. Reflector bowl, sheild, bulb holder... Keep in mind you can buy the D2S version for ~$160 a piece and buy ballasts and bulbs for cheap. Sorry, but fog lights don't have the throw of headlights. You think it's brighter because your foreground is super...

    3UR-FE swap?

    Stronger? I wouldn't say that since the 3UR + TRD supercharger is 500HP and 550ft/lbs. You'd have to push a 1UZ quite a lot to get those numbers, and it wouldn't be as reliable.

    Low profile headlights

    The 90mm units aren't bad. But if you're going to go HID with them, you need to get the HID version of them, or your performance is going to be subpar. There's far better projectors out there though. Looks like crap. Bad output, blue HID's, and big gaping holes around the projectors. I...

    question about slicks

    Keep in mind you probably have a lot of milage on it, and most people completely forget to change the lube in the diff and tranny. It doesn't hold a lot to begin with either. Oh, and they use a crush sleeve for pinion bearing preload. It's a terrible design and leads to failure, especially...

    Hp and MPG?

    Mine was abrupt until I adjusted the assembly and removed the slack. A steady foot couldn't do any better, unless of course you slow down going up hills. Good oils definately improve milage. So do thinner oils. The RX-8 runs 5w-20 in the US to achieve standards set by the EPA. Of course the...

    Hp and MPG?

    Honestly, it only uses as much throttle as necessary. On a stock car it wouldn't boost at those times, but of course who's stock anymore? :rofl:

    Ethical Dilemma - Painting a MKIII 3E5 VS 202

    Unless the car is stripped down to be completely repainted, it's ALWAYS going to show somehow. If you're OCD, it's going to drive you nuts. Personally, there's nothing better than a clean 3E5 car...

    Yeah, they're not exactly "collectors items" because all the records have been lost. About the only collectable versions I can think of would be sniper variants.
