    Mazda 3 owners..... what is up?

    I'll agree with the Mazda 3, it's common around here with that crowd (you know, the douchebag with his hat on crooked, etc).

    boost spike (did IC test already)

    Wastegate ends up getting forced open from the pressure.

    boost spike (did IC test already)

    It's normal for boost to start dropping on a CT (sadly)

    You may have to buy a new accordian pipe as the lexus AFM is larger. Stocker will stretch, but not if it's old.

    Is there something disadvantageous about this brand new 3" downpipe vs HKS?

    Because they make an inferior and overpriced product for our cars that they've been making for 20 years?

    Yes, welding two different metals together is really smart... I agree with the "full of good ideas" comment...

    Gurren Lagann!!!

    Eh, I like the original series ending, as well as the movie ending. It's a little out there, but there's many many layers to NGE and referances to many religions, etc. The whole concept is probably one of the most original stories ever. Oh shit, just looked it up, Gurren Lagann is made by...

    Car will not go into gear. Need some advice.

    Should be a black float that sits in the res. But yeah, it's a nightmare to get under there, and I'm a small guy, I can't imagine other people doing it :rofl:

    180sx sr20det vs MK3 7mgte

    Erm... I wouldn't go so far as to say the SR20 is better than a 7M. There's a reason you don't see SR's over 500HP...

    I think we need an official anime thread :p I think my list is a bit long though... - Akira - Neon Genesis Evangelion - Macross (all of it, though Macross Frontier is the most recent and amazing) - Bleach - Guyver - Gundam (all of them) - Vampire Hunter D Etc, etc, etc...

    Is there something disadvantageous about this brand new 3" downpipe vs HKS?

    They still leak (especially the chinese ones on ebay). Also, where the flex section is on those isn't ideal for a number of reasons. They also don't fit that well. But they're cheap so it's hard to complain...

    Pop noise is usually the steering stops on the hubs. From the factory they are supposed to have little plastic caps so they slide, but they fall apart. It's nothing serious, just mildly annoying.

    No oil pressure.

    NOTHING IS WRONG Lucas is snake oil, and is great for covering up a knocking engine long enough to sell it.

    For $900, it's definately not bad!

    IDEA!!! Let me know how hard this is going to be.

    If the engine was missing I'd say go for it, but 2JZ-GE's are cheap. I'd say leave it alone :p

    Carrier bearing or 1-piece driveshaft?

    - Stock 2 piece is dampened, 1-piece is not. Dunno where you're getting that part... - Not easier to balance as it's common to have issues with a 1-piece's balance. - More wear on the bearings because it's not supported. Also raises the risk of catastrophic failure on high speed runs...

    Car will not go into gear. Need some advice.

    Have to pump the pedal to build pressure. On the clutch though, you can simply gravity bleed.

    The Fiery Debate: Stick with 7M Power?... or swap for 1JZ/2JZ

    Thus my comment on 2JZGE-T. Can pick up a GE for very cheap locally these days. 1J's aren't cost effective anymore IMHO, the quality of JDM engines has gone way down in recent years.
