Now, this is probably going to sound dumb to some of the more experienced members, but is a new crank needed to do a stroke job? Or is it just a matter of changing the rods? I'd be inclined to replace all the internals at the same time, but if the crank is the same, it should be possible to...

You have one in your car? I'm surprised I never noticed it before. It looks like it connects right under the rear hatch struts. Does this add significant structural rigidity? Or is it one of those mods that doesn't serve a lot of real purpose? Also, did you ever get my message about those...

So one could then theorize that there are decent gains to be made by simple stroking the engine without having the bore increased. This is something I'll need to think about...

I've seen reference to a Cusco Hatch Bar a few times now, but I cannot find reference of it on Cusco's site. And when I do a Google search I can't find any places that sell it and therefore have info on it. Searching for HATCH BAR on the forums turns up a bunch of build threads, but nobody...

I'm curious too... What have people added to their R154's to get smoother shifts?

Doesn't anyone have some pics to post? I understand Mustang Cobra wheels will fit, but the offset on them is only 32mm. Will this make a big difference?

Let me make sure I understand... You're saying that .115 liters is a big deal? That doesn't seem right to me. Granted, I haven't tried it, so my opinion is based simply on gut feeling, but how much HP/TQ can we really expect to gain from such a small increase? I wouldn't think it to be much...

Can we get 9" and 10" rims under there without rubbing? That would rock!

I'm looking at pulling out the old suspension this summer and swapping in Tokico Illuminas so as to keep the TEMS working, but I haven't decided what to do about springs yet. I know Eibach is a popular choice, but my impression is that their progressive spring rate makes for a slightly...

I'm curious about what the biggest wheel/tire setup is for our cars. I know you can put the Mk IV rims (17x8 front, 17x9.5 rear, if i remember correctly) on with 245's and 275's, but has anyone increased the offset to fit a bit more rubber under there? Also, if anyone has some good pics of...

I've got new calipers on the fronts, which I put on about 6 months ago. The rears are old. And yes, I bled the lines (to the best of my ability) when I flushed the system. I'll have to look into doing the rebuild... how much work is involved?

I'm also interested in this is anyone has some recommendations.

I just want to make sure I'm on the right track with this one. My brakes feel awful. They work pretty well, but no matter how hard I push, the peddle never really gets hard, just spongey. I flushed the fluid maybe 5 months ago, and I replaced the entire from brake system minus the lines at...

Ok, this is probably not that serious, but since I'm sitting at a computer at school with nothing to do, I figured I'd ask. About an hour ago my heater started doing some funky shit. The fan speed would vary a little when I had it set to Medium, and the heat, which is usually good and warm...

LOL! I've always wondered where it was on the car! Does anyone want to sell theirs? I wouldn't mind adding a second!

I'd go for a color match... it'll help complete the package, make it look like the car was completely planned from the start.

Lets see, I bought her about 6 months ago, and including sale price, I've got about $6k into her... that's not too bad I guess, $1k / month, including major repairs.

I figured I'd switch to a tubular mani, and probably one of the t60 series turbos, but i haven't decided on the details yet. If i remember correctly, which isn't likely, i decided the 60-1 was a bit small, but moving to a t66 would be overkill. I'm not at my comp, so i don't have any of my...

i didn't read all 18 pages of this thread, so this might have been covered before, but where did you get your FFIM? I've seen a few around, but none for sale.

I was curious how quickly the different ball bearing turbos spool on a 7m. I'm planning a complete rebuild for sometime in the next few years, and would like to make power low in the rpm range, but want to make 500+ hp. I've heard that some DSM guys spooled their t60 series bb turbos by 3k...
