    Where Do I Find/Buy This Spoiler?

    No. Think about what you said...

    DDP vs Elbow + DP vs DP w/ Elbow

    The difference is very noticeable. IIRC BIC did a back to back dyno run with them and gained quite a lot of power with the DDP.

    when buying carbon fiber parts...?

    We never got narrowbodies in the states.

    Differential Whining on Acceleration

    The kit from Weir is for the clutch packs... different part of the diff, and full teardown is required anyway. Plus, if you're in there, you should probably replace other things or it's a waste of money.

    Tanabe clearance issues

    I seem to remember the hyper touring medallion being a bit too short as well... Dunno why, but most people used longer test pipes or cats.

    Tanabe clearance issues

    The front hanger is pretty critical and it's a simple flange that can be swapped over.

    Differential Whining on Acceleration

    Crush sleeve failure as usual... The OEMs use them because it's faster to set up, but a spacer and shims doesn't lose preload on the bearings.

    Hmmm.... not from what I can remember. Paging Lange....

    cometic HG fitment ?

    Normal (and why you can install the gasket backwards/upside down by accident)

    Drop-in LED Headights

    Different glass.

    Drop-in LED Headights

    I agree on the ricey part, but you're very wrong on the rest :) Not to mention the HID's will blow the LED's away in output.

    Egr delete/block off plate

    BHG from removal of the EGR isn't from heat, it's from detonation. The higher EGT's are a byproduct of the tuning (leaner and more advanced timing because it expects EGR) as well as the simple cooling effect of the EGR system which is why it lowers NOX. NOX is one of the worst combustion...

    Drop-in LED Headights

    Yep, I still have parts to do it, but no time (work, gf, etc) If you consider hacking up your radiator support minor... I don't and wouldn't do it, especially since the headlights aren't THAT good compared to modern HID projectors. Besides, HID and halogen projectors are designed quite...

    Drop-in LED Headights

    Eh, LED's haven't gotten to the level that they beat HID yet on output or price. Depends on the HIDs. HID kits as a general rule are not. Plastic is done for safety and for clarity. The plastic is MUCH more optically clear than glass, so your output is higher. DOT compliant is...

    Blue box under the dash about the size of a cigarette box.

    Egr delete/block off plate

    The fact that it ISN'T monitored is why it's dangerous to delete it. In modern OBD2 cars, there are sensors to detect if EGR is functioning, if it's not, the tuning changes to stop damage from occurring. All the parts are still available... Possibly, if you're standalone, of course not...

    Which engine?

    That LS1 is a crate motor, you can get a cheaper one used. The crate motors are very under rated in the numbers they put out (one of the magazines bought one and put out over 400 to the wheels). Regardless, making more power is a simple as a good intake, headers/exhaust, cam, and a tune...

    Which engine?

    I'll throw a monkey wrench in this real quick. Want 400HP reliably? Want tons of torque? Want it all cheap? It's called an LS1...

    Which engine?

    Holy crap, Trent is back :aigo: Sigh. For starters, the JDM 2J's make more torque because of their cams and turbos. Those turbos are also unreliable, just like the 1J's are. Honestly, this is a pissing contest with you who has some psychotic hatred of the 7M and people that know...
