    How to tell if my maf is lexus?

    It does, but it's a very tight fit. If your accordian hose is old it's not going to fit...

    How to remove tps connector?

    That type of connector won't work as the TPS doesn't have wires coming off it, it's the male part of the connector in the first place. (LOL @ JJ) Fine someone with an old harness and have them cut it off, or find the plug on another car in a junkyard (the connectors are made by an outside...

    HKS Fuel Cut Defender Problems

    FCD was meant to be used with the full electronics suite from HKS, not alone... And in that case tuning IS REQUIRED because you can still blow up the car. Funny thing is that it was a bunch of piggybacks that made it almost function like a standalone, when today standalones are far cheaper...

    "Meh" is now offically a word

    I wouldn't call it dumbing since "Teh" is a typo and "meh" isn't. It's not really a "word" though in my book, it's more like "oh" or "ah" as it's simply a sound and seems to be a sound of a reaction.

    WotLK

    After seeing what else the game offers...it's looks seriously tempting. Does it come with 30 free days like the last expansion did? Don't really want to buy the game and then have to buy a game card... Can you start a Deathknight at lvl 1? Or do you have to start at 55?

    TomTom Icon

    Nope, can't change the symbol in the overhead view. Not that I like the overhead view AT ALL, so I never use it...

    TomTom Icon

    Well, I noticed with the newer patch to my TomTom that it had new car icons instead of just the arrow. So, being curious, I looked into it, and using the toon cars from here, you can make your own supra icon! It's a BMP, and if you go into your TomTom manually, put it in the art\cars...

    Two Problems (Shifting/Rad) and what the hell is that noise???

    Very true, if you don't get full release it won't want to shift.

    is there such a thing as too small a battery?

    How about the engine bay? :sarcasm: To be honest, there is really only one reason I would relocate the battery, and that's if I had a FFIM, but I would try REALLY hard to work around the battery. Relocating it properly isn't cheap...

    brakes

    I'd have to see how bad the rust is, but I bet they can be machined and be just fine. Usually it's just surface rust. The pads and the rest of the moving parts I would be concerned about...

    Looks like Star Trek meets Star Wars in the design...

    let's see some big wings!

    Whaletails look like ass from the back... Best wing IMHO is the kaminari/ab-flug spoiler. It's a longer and slightly higher version of the stock 2-piece spoiler. Spoiler = reduces the natural lift of the vehicle Wing = downforce as it's usually an inverted wing

    kyb gr-2 or tokico hp

    Has 3 places for the snap rings that hold the perch, top is stock and the other ones are lower. I don't recall how much they lower the car, but you can also get the coilover sleeves (no, not the cheap ones) for the bilsteins so they're adjustable to where you want it and you can use generic...

    water hose fitting betwen valve cover?

    Those holes are for the banjo fitting that goes there :rofl: It's the Union in the EPC, and unless yours is badly corroded, you don't need to replace it.

    is there such a thing as too small a battery?

    This. But you still need a box to pass tech.

    Two Problems (Shifting/Rad) and what the hell is that noise???

    Don't use gloss black paint on the wiper arms, they're satin from the factory. I sanded mine and painted with satin engine paint so it can take the heat of the sun ;)

    is there such a thing as too small a battery?

    Yep, unless you use a PROPERLY externally vented box (and not one of those cheap marine boxes from wal-mart that aren't sealed), it's not a smart thing to do. Running a Miata battery (which IS 100% sealed IIRC) will work, but you still need an external kill switch for track duty.
