Only true way is to replace them. They're supposed to effectively seal the window channels and stop water from getting in.

Why would you run a girdle when the engine doesn't need one? You have 7 mains and with upgraded hardware have shown to handle a ton of abuse...

Looks like the motor isn't in the car... I'd swap the hardline as it would be a complete nightmare to deal with a hose looped around like that when it fails...

Meaning you have an 89+ motor that's either JDM or from some other RHD country. Best thing to do in this case would be to replace the line with a LHD piece from an 89+

Normal for being under the hood and being under a load. Unless you have issues you can narrow down to them, they usually DON'T go out easily.

Yep, should look like this.

Yep, you shouldn't have to grab that piece with the big wrench. I had this issue at one point as well, but I was able to get it out to fix it.

You installed the bar upside down.

What wheels are you going to run? Going to have to be at least 17's (if not 18's) and you'll need to clear the caliper which will be the harder part.

...which they did for 89+ cars.

There's a reason you're supposed to replace the gasket every time ;)

- You're using used calipers (at least rebuild them). - Cobra R brakes are not full bolt on as they're larger than the normal Cobra brakes. - The rotors won't work as they don't match the calipers. - Brembos are notorious for striped hardware as they're pretty soft aluminum (all brembos are NOT...

They're supposed to get hot...that's why they're in a heatsink case.

...with in turn is dependent on the CPS signal.

Why would you run a stiffer pressure plate (that will wear the thrust washers in the engine) and not just a more aggressive disk?

7M with a 5M head = someone trying to make a 6M. Yes it works, but no you can't just swap heads...

Bigger turbo flows more air at lower PSI, but it's still too low. Still sounds like a boost leak... Not unless he wants to build a grenade.

That's a good way to bend the fingers of the pressure plate.

This is really quite simple... NOX. Lean burning engines produce a lot of NOX, which is quite harmful to the local environment (I'm not talking global warming here, I'm talking smog or even just the poor runner on the sidewalk). It boils down to emissions. That and cars have to be safer...

That car runs the same basic Aisin trans as the 6-speed Miata and the S2000. They all have a few issues once you start pushing power (there are already people over 500HP on the damn boxer 2.0 motor with forced induction!) and they're fragging the transmissions. V160 doesn't take much to bolt...
