I ended up buying and installing the ACT XTSS kit from A2 Motorsports (CKanderson) : ACT Xtreme pressure plate with ACT full-face street disc. The pedal is stiffer than the ACT Heavy Duty plate I had in there, but it is not outrageous. Street driving is not hard on my left leg, despite the extra...

Bumping for more feedback on these questions. Why would there be such an enourmous difference between the % increase on the rear sways of the Mk4 bars compared to the Mk3 bars? Here is the chart in case you missed it: http://www.theoryinpracticeengineering.com/tech/SupraARBtest.pdf

Interesting. Those tests show the Valentine 1 to be the best. They intentionally used weak signals for those tests, so maybe the 8500 provides ample warning from the signals it gets in the real world, hence the good feedback on it. The 8500 is 1/2 the price too.

Is it true that laser is not used at night?

I have an old Uniden radar detector, that seems to work Ok, it goes off when I go through most speed traps. However, the other day I was driving through a construction zone at night where they had set up a few automated signs that show you your speed. My speed showed on the signs, but my...

I've owned the Tein SS's before, and they are very very firm. Such that with stock sway bars, the car still had very little body roll and the handling was amazing. But I found them too stiff for my comfort and sold them and bought the Tein flex's. Now the ride is the perfect balance between...

When is the deadline? Just finishing up my interior then it is photo-ready.

My neck is already kinked from this shit. I'm not looking foward to pulling out the whole pedal assembly. The nuts are nearly impossible to reach!

My clutch pedal creaks loudly when moved within the top freeplay, before it engages the clutch. I sprayed lots of spray lube on all moving joints, and nothing changed. I disconnected the plunger rod of the master cylinder and it still creaked so it's not related to that. I loosened the top pivot...

My car came with some aftermarket pads that squeal a lot at low speeds. I sprayed the backs of the pads and the shims with brake quiet, but they still squeal. A couple of my shims are not perfectly straight and do not sit flat against the pads, and I can't help but think these shims could be...

Thanks guys! It's true, it looks WAY better in real life, even though you can see all the flaws up close.

Mouldings are repainted and now installed, along with front grills and LED clear sidemarkers. These pics were taken today during a local meet at the BIC shop. Randy has got some much better photos he will upload soon as well. It's generating some intrigue on the streets. In slow traffic people...

One of the few vids worth reposting several times over!

Can I add water to top up my Toyota red coolant? My car came with this coolant in it and I'm not sure how long its life is?

I am considering doing this mod, but both my side marker and turn signal are now LED bulbs. They act like a diode, and only turn on when current flows in one direction. I'm unsure of the polarity of the wires and direction of current flow in this mod. Is the green one positive? Will this work...

Definately a good idea to keep the rubber damper. The vibration is annoying and the heat is worse.

Don't forget about the heavy-ass pressure plate that is bolted to the flywheel, adding even more rotating weight.

Luckily the engine and drivetrain in this car are very solid. Still pulls very hard at 15 psi. Probably not, a cone could easily crack the lip. I'll just have to save carving the corners for the street. I passed AirCare(smog testing) and it is now insured with plates. This week I'm...

My Flex-a-lite controller terminals get so hot they unsolder themselves from the circuit board. After much searching, I can't find a quality controller that can run my dual fans at around 60% speed low setting, and 100% at high setting. Is there a reliable controller out there that can do...

This mod solved my starting problem as well. There must be a way to get this message across to more people, since it is the #1 reason for our starting problems. Sticky?
