    Question on SHOCK+SPRING combination

    for your edification... KYB told me that KYB's arent intended for lowered vehicles. they will not warranty their shocks/struts if you TELL them they were on a lowered car. then, if you lie to them and say they were NOT on a lowered car, they tell you to ship back your AGX/GR2's to them on your...

    Add an LED to indicate activity on the Knock sencor circ?

    i used to see people talk about a Knock sensor LED mod when i was into DSM's... however, it worked based on the ECU's reaction to detecting knock. so if the ECU did nothing, then you wouldnt know there was knock, even if the knock sensor was creating voltage. see, DSM's have a Boost control...

    Celsior

    so, you managed to import a car that already exists here, stateside, with the same weak-ass motor that is available here stateside, took the official-JDM rims off of it to put on some USDM-version of "JDM" wheels on it with the wrong size tire to acheive the drifter-look on a...

    Coilpack relocation done

    well...actually... the past few posts arent entirely correct. AFM-based/stock ecu cars can and will still run w/o the ISC. the pre89 cars have a base idle adjustment screw that cant be adjusted to idle the motor up higher to about 1000-1200. with power steering and AC, the motor still idles fun...

    What bulbs would work?

    HID fogs arent gay... HID anythings are sweet, even backup lights ;) actually, for the fogs, i would get a 3000k bulb. that would make it yellow like the Lemans GT2 cars and "JDM fogs". silverstars are the best, low-buck upgrade. what my friends do, is buy the silverstars from walmart...

    Powersteering doesn't work wtf

    there is a connector below the AC compressor and a pig tail coming off your PS rack. make sure its still connected. if it is, you may have problems elsewhere in the PPS electrical system. its an oval 2-wire connector. it has white/green and a white/red wire.

    grease pilot bearing?

    i hate to break it to you allan, but polishing and deburring the crank snout w/ 1000 grit wet/dry sand paper doesnt make the pulley loose. it doesnt take out the keyway either. the reason the keyway gets fucked up is because the crank pulley bolt loosens up. ive seen it happen on 2 motors...

    Nippon Racing Piston?

    yes, they come in 0.020" and 0.040" over. they come with rings and wrist pins in the package. the first motor i built with these pistons now belongs to RTA supra. hes got an SP63 w/ supporting mods and a map ecu. hes making enough power to take down 600cc bikes on the freeway. he said his car...
