    Exploded Spec Stage 5 clutch, beware.

    Yes, not breaking the clutch in could very well of caused the failure. Before a clutch is broken in, they don't like to slip at all, so if you did go an drag race on a new clutch, it's gonna grab...HARD, and like I said, something's gotta give. You also have to remember that no matter how...

    Looking for these wheels

    Nothing wrong with Rotas... (they supply some of the OEM's) Don't tell me "because they break," because I've seen broken sawblades too. Hit a curb at 60 at a large wheel with low profile tires is gonna bend/break

    Power VS MPGs

    To a certain extent. If you're talking a N/A engine that you have to increase the displacement of to get more power, you're fuel economy will go down. Turbo cars are very different. Low loads, it runs like a small displacement engine sipping gas. At WOT and the turbo spooled, it uses as...

    Clutch release bearing hub assembly

    with the assembly like in the picture it should be like a bowl, the slope like a V (hard to explain) if you put it in backwards there won't be any preload, so it's pretty obvious...

    Supra Shirt, (SM approved)

    I'll be waiting on your response... kinda funny that she's not against me buying a shirt when she usually fights me on buying stuff for the car. All she said is "I WANT ONE TOO!"

    Exploded Spec Stage 5 clutch, beware.

    No, it's not just Spec... This design is not meant to handle the amount of abuse people put it though, the straps are DEFINATELY the weak point in the design. Add in non-sprung hubs on the disk, tons of power, and hard shifting, and somehting is bound to give.

    So i found out why i "Only" made 283rwhp...

    Yeah, my fiance wasn't too happy when I insisted on getting a new exhaust manifold gasket from the dealer when the one from the parts store was cheaper. Oddly enough the felpro manifold to turbo gasket is the same style as the OEM, where did he find a crappy version of that gasket?

    H3 HID Foglights?

    I have the 3000K in the fogs, and 4300K in the headlights... Camera has issues with bright light at night, they really don't glare as bad as the picture seems to make it look. Also, I use the foglamps during the day as DRL's, and they are very yellow, but not as yellow as the JDM capsules or...

    Some new additions

    damn nice! Now do the dash as it's a performance upgrade ;) (For those that don't know, black suede on the dash reduces glare of the dash pad in the windshield, allowing better visability. Most of your higher end perfromace cars will have it, and I've seen tons of rally cars with it.)
