    Traction arm bushings

    Are you sure it's not 42210 in this picture? Usually a clunk back there is from that wearing out. It's not a bushing, it's more of a ball joint.

    Bigger disks with nothing else?

    IJ: true, but if your car has ABS brake bias is adjusted on the fly anyway... As it is, adam is right, there isn't enough mass and you'll quickly boil the brake fluid on a fast course. The stock brakes are good enough to stop from over 100MPH.......once.

    Anime Recommendation Thread

    Just got done watching both seasons of Gundam 00. I LOVE the end. If you've ever seen the original Gundam series you'll get some serious deja vu...

    Yeah, don't see it being hard to fabricate...

    E-brake, brake lamp failure, and battery light on?

    Also heard of the regulator causing it. Most people don't take apart alternators LOL

    Peek-a-boo front headlights

    Some cars it looks alright on... looks terrible on a MKIII. That said, doing it on just the passenger side headlight is a common practice, I'm sure you all can figure out why ;)

    Distilled water!!!

    Stops being distilled the minute it touches ANYTHING, as good old H2O is a universal solvent. That being said, I like to run distilled as the water around here is pretty terrible (already clogging up a showerhead after a year)

    FINALLY - Especially for JMDigital - LilMissMkIII's Build

    Looks fine. If you look, you can see the marks from where the gasket was pushed out towards the water jacket, that spot is from the headgasket leaking and will probably clean up fine with a resurfacing. I should get some macro pics of my bad head in the garage for comparison...

    Stock VS. 3" Exhaust Difference?

    Considering I shift at 2K RPM and start spooling at 1500 RPM... All because my exhaust. Anyone that says that you'll lose bottom end torque is WRONG.

    The Warm Up Process

    Exactly, and small loads warm everything up faster reducing wear time (pistons are a good example)

    E-brake, brake lamp failure, and battery light on?

    Or worse. Could also have the alternator catch on fire (heard of it happening a few times), or it overcharges, or it kills the battery. Fix ASAP to prevent damage to other components.

    Braided stainless hose flaws

    figgie: was more that it looked like it had been manhanded and could possibly be sharp and cause isses. Fray was the wrong word as I know it won't come apart. Also, I read in a magazine one of the easiest ways to cut braided lines is a metal plate and a VERY sharp chizel. One good wack...

    Another cop with authority

    As mentioned, Dallas is quite corrupt. The city council is corrupt, the school system is corrupt... Another example of what I'm talking about: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/stories/DN-taser_01met.ART0.State.Edition1.4ad57e3.html

    New 2010 GT500! I want one

    Yes, but the Camaro is actually putting out respectable times around the 'ring, and it comes with more power in most cases. The Challenger looks cool, has IRS, but has been reviewed as being numb in the handling department. Oh, and they don't come with a standard transmission. I don't...

    92nsx's supra build

    That's what it would run stock... Code 52 means the ECU is pulling timing as it can't adjust the timing on the fly to be below detonation. There should be a hanger above the muffler and behind the muffler, should have 2 rubber donuts on each...

    quite the april fool's trick

    NOD32 > * NOD32 is installed, used, then uninstalled (hell, the lite version I had didn't even install, it just ran). Most antivirus programs are as bad as the crap they're trying to block... Also, keep in mind Microsoft does keep their malicous software removal tool updated, and it's...

    92nsx's supra build

    The rear hangers aren't right, the exhaust is crooked because it's hanging too low.

    The Warm Up Process

    Yes, but idling to warm up prolongs the warm up process and increases wear. Gently driving is far better.

    Harness should have been installed onto the engine BEFORE putting it in the car...
