    AG lower springs? What do you think?

    If that's the springs in the pic, they're progressive. Perosnally I'm a fan of just going to bilstein shocks with stock springs as you can lower the spring perch to lower the car. They say they have been sold under a private label for years, but i see no mention of WHO.

    steering rack replacement

    1. Use the seat belt trick that they use for towing 2. Inner tie rod will unscrew out of the outer tie rod. Make match marks, then put an open end wrench on the area of the shaft that is squared off. The match marks are so you can count the amount of revolutions so you can put em on the...

    egr block off helps cyl #6?

    EGR is closed at that amount of throttle EGR is ONLY active during cruising and will improve gas milage as the ECU is tuned for it... This has all been covered in a very large thread somewhere...

    pulstar spark plugs

    RP works great for the dyno... But it's got a crappy addative package and won't protect as well. I'm sorry, but that SMALL amount og HP is not worth my engine. About these sparkplugs, yet again, it's HP/$ ratio is garbage. Up the damn boost 2PSI and see more gains than that. Not worth it.

    Leather Recaro's, good idea?

    OK, finally found some pics of a 3rd gen with the leather recaros, but the pics aren't of the seats themselves... http://ww2.collectorcartrader.com/details.php?adId=89731164

    Leather Recaro's, good idea?

    No, leather is MORE durable than cloth, and won't fade the same way. Most people don't take care of their leather. It's a seat after all. Proper care of leather requires washing it to remove the dirt from the pores, and then moisturizing it (it's SKIN, think of it as such)

    egr block off helps cyl #6?

    that comment is totally off base for a few reasons... EGR is programmed into the ECU, as such the car will run lean and actually have HOTTER EGT's with it disabled. Turbo-A's where JDM only, as such they didn't come with EGR in the first place. The ONLY reason for the easy BHG's on...

    Tanabe SHM Install Help *New Question* 2/23/07

    actually, it's a bracket with the hanger for the exhaust on it, and the two bolts go through it... Use TONS of PB Blaster (WD-40 sucks BALLS), and keep spraying it for a couple days, then they'll come off a LOT easier. I cleaned my bolts up with a wire wheel and reinstalled, but you might...
