    hp gains?

    Luxury GT car... Powersteering will sap power (when in use), but the A/C is just free wheeling when it's off as the clutch is disconnected. Not worth it, and on a turbo car it's easy to make power...

    EBAY Rear Brake rotors, anyone bought these?

    Nick Sorry, but I have yet to see ANY crossdrilled rotors that are NOT prone to cracking. The performance increase is NOT worth the safety risk. It's a stupid fad that anyone in the know will laugh at. Slotted rotors on the other hand DO work, and are not prone to failure.

    Steering/Subframe help

    Here ya go, it's in an odd part of the TSRM, and most people overlook it. The difference after doing this was completely unreal on my car. Reduced targa shimmy, better road feel, less noise, less vibration...

    Guitar god?

    Metallica was great when they first came out. Dave Mustaine > Kirk Hammet I forgot to mention Mustaine in my original list as well. His solos just have that pissed off frantic sound that suites the lyrics so well.

    The US gets a ute.

    Ute's don't go over big here because of the EPA regulations. If it's classified as a car, the EPA is a bastard on required fuel ecconomy and emissions. Classifly it as a truck though, and they aren't as hard on em. Why do you think SUV's sell like mad here?

    Rant- Braided steel hose

    Why use braided line? They make that horrible braided covering... I can agree about getting everything to match, but I do that in black if I can since I like to look more stock. I was seriously laughing out loud at this thread about all the comments about the "bastard line"

    "Lessons in patience"

    Not reading this entire thread, but I know RPS is not the best about getting parts out on time... I've read my fair share of stories about RPS to never EVER buy a product from em... But I will agree, do call and make sure it's in stock, you can also decide real fast if you want to do...

    Difference in tail light length (89+)

    You're missing the gaskets... Not the main gaskets that everyone replacse, but there are gaskets that go around the edge of the lights as well... There isn't a separate part number for em either, so if you can send em back saying they are missing parts....

    Best Downpipe

    just to let you know, the braided flex section is actually two layers, it looks like the RT one you are showing on the inside... I would have bought from BIC if I could have afforded it at the time I needed the DP (snapped at flex section when it was removed)

    Cylinder Head Cooling Modifications.

    Some of the German Supra guys have done it (120+ MPH sustained is the norm on the highways there), and it seemed to work better... Are you using a standalone though? The stock ECU is tuned for the EGR, so it runs a bit hotter cruising without it (I'll have to search for the thread, but it's...
