    Schrödinger's cat is dead. Wait no, he's not dead. Sorry Jake, couldn't resist the physics jokes ;) Btw, what the heck is that beautifully welded 'thingy'. Is that a gas tank?

    help with megan racing coilovers

    It scrapes the fender? That's pretty low dude, megan's have pretty stiff springs up front so you may have done something wrong. The fronts will have the ABS sensor wire bracket. Also, the nuts on the fronts are an M10 where as the rears are an M8 (IIRC). The rears definitely have a smaller...

    Probe Forged Pistons: You want 'em? GB!

    Well so far from what I gather: Longer skirt = increased longevity/resilience but they will weigh more Ring size = the thicker the rings are, they nicer they are to you cylinder walls but the higher friction they will cause. Friction means higher heat and energy loss. Too thin of a ring and...

    how do u put in a new head unit in.. need to know badly

    You'll need a spacer kit that will mount into the stock location and fill the 2nd din. They are black plastic and can be bought at any car audio place. ~$20. When you buy a deck it'll come with a metal sleeve, that'll fit into the plastic bracket. The only hard part is the wiring and those...

    That's true IJ. These pistons would mainly be for those not looking for crazy HP but want something that'll hold up against higher boost levels.

    Probe Forged Pistons: You want 'em? GB!

    Cold start slap doesn't sound too sweet, especially here in Canadia ;) I would also prefer a long skirt like the Wiseco pistons, and a close to stock compression. Then again, I don't have much clue on the effects that each parameter has on an engine. Maybe some of the more experienced guys could...

    SAFC install to replace a Pre-89 CC

    Take out your ash tray? It fits pretty good there, and you still get to use your climate control box.

    Probe Forged Pistons: You want 'em? GB!

    I would buy a set so long as I don't have to wait 8 months to get them like some other group buys. *cough*cams*cough*. I was planning on doing a stock rebuild next winter anyways, and for ~300 bucks, I might as well put in some forged pistons.
