The last time I was looking, I couldn't find an aftermarket one that wasn't a performance unit. I ended up buying a used one that had already been re-machined. I'd look for a used one if I were you - or just bite the bullet and buy a performance unit.

As I recall, the rule of thumb is a range colder for every extra 100 hp you're putting out. So at a guess, I'd say 1-2 ranges colder is probably about right for your engine.

You can usually just get your old one machined for a few $$. Unless it's heat cracked or something evil.

Is anything missing from the cooling system? Fan shroud? Undertray? Turbo coolant lines / bypass? Have you switched to electric fans? Ambient temps? What ratio of water : antifreeze are you running?

Black owns white. On the other hand... Changing the color of a car always ends in tears.

Guys, it's simple a matter of time. Pulling the engine / tranny as a combo to replace the clutch, then putting it back in takes me at the least 2 days with 2 experienced guys. Pulling the tranny by itself, replacing the clutch, and putting it back in takes me at least 4 hours with 2...

I don't think so... I had a camera, but everyone showed up at such widely spaced times that it didn't look like it was going to be worth taking any photos until we were all eating.

That's reason enough. If something doesn't appeal to you, I wouldn't advise trying to force the issue.

You forgot to mention undoing his belt... Why not ask for a bikini shot while you're at it?

Probably not. Get this thread back on track, folks. Suggest cars for the OP, take your arguments regarding each others IQ, taste, and the problems facing various cars to another thread. Better yet, to PM, nobody really wants to read it.

Agreed. Any idiot (and most non-idiots) can mess up any car. Miata is a decent choice - light, responsive, rwd, it's one of the easier cars to learn with. The only problem with them is that any time a guy gets near one, the haydar meter pegs... not a problem for you. Pity the day you send...

Have you properly aligned the TPS?

Just got back, and I'm quite impressed. I can see the points that Kai made, but I don't think they really detracted that much from the experience. Furthermore, there were no whales.

HA! Broke it. :D

Dammit, this thing is taking WAY too much of my time.

This is just off the top of my head, I'm sure I've forgotten someone's favorite vehicle. Send all complaints to IJ, if he thinks they are valid he will send them to me. Japanese cars: Honda - S2000 - NSX Mazda - Miata - Rx7 Mitsubishi - Lancer Evo - 3000GT Nissan - 240 / 260 / 280 / 300 / 350...

I'm off to see it tonight.

You don't have to - it sucks your blood. Just keep your diet high in iron.

I like.
