Well... it depends. NA cars came with a different ratio, and *might* have the LSD, depending on what options were purchased with the car.

Don't do it. I'll be really annoyed if you do.

Doesn't need much heat dissipation for the 900cc Lada engine they shoehorned in there to replace the 2J with.

Ya, they are up there on the $$$ scale, that's for sure. I've heard rumors that Hella makes a waterproof projector - and I'd be happy to pay some extra $$$ for the extra convenience. Mounting the Infinity FX projectors and ensuring that they are protected enough from the weather to use every...

Dual HID projectors is actually not the best way to go. The way that HID bulbs work, what wears them out is repeated on / off cycles. Which is why everyone makes bi-xenon projectors, where the beam pattern is controlled with a shield. If you built it the other way, switching from low to high...

I vaguely recall something about the diode(s) in the light assembly popping and causing this.

Hmm... looks like they only sell the ignition cylinder. That's a pain... you'd have to carry around two keys!

I do a fair bit of this as well - especially for the younger kids who really can't afford it. I don't take beer in trade either, another non drinker here... but I do take food... oddly enough, usually I want uncooked raw materials, so I can run the grill after a day working on a car. My...

From what I've read, the Z32 is good to ~600 hp. Duane's pushing a crapload more than that through an R154. Maybe it's something to do with the location that messes with the price, the OP in that thread is from Hawaii, the land of weird. Or maybe it was a mistype, and he meant the Getrag 6...

Interesting... I wonder if they sell the other lock cylinders, too...

How many cars are you planning to end up with after 15000 km? Oh, and you can't use FRS radios in the car, either. It's a ban on all hand held electronics.

No, PPS is on the intake side, on the steering rack. Does this help?

Agreed on the slantnose Porsche... I'll never understand why those aren't more popular.

If you want to stick with springs / shocks, Suspension Techniques (ST) makes a good set of variable rate lowering springs. If you're going to end up dumping a lot of money into the car anyway, I'd suggest going with decent coilovers - that allows you to set the ride height anywhere you want...

Bah. I like my cars like my women - sleek and sexy. And if you'll notice, I don't like any of the American boxen either.

Check that the caliper is moving freely from side to side on it's slider. I'll bet that it's rubbing on one side only because the caliper doesn't slide properly...

Happy birthday, old man. Here's to hoping you get a booklet of free BJ coupons as loot. Or a pirate ship. Or both.

Friend of mine in the Corvette scene pulled all the insulation and carpet out of his track 'vette. Then he discovered that the foot wells got REALLY hot without all that material in there. So he weighed it, and when the total was 25+ pounds, he bought a fire extinguisher instead, claiming that...

Well, you certainly can. How much extra power (notice I didn't say boost, as that's literally impossible to calculate beyond a wild stab in the dark) you will be able to run is difficult to say. Typically I'd tell someone to put it on the dyno with a set of electric ears, and keep turning it...

Well, I've got a few, and none of them look like a box with wheels, unlike some people in this thread who shall remain anonymous. Kai. ;) These are in reverse order of cost. Lancia Stratos. 1969 Mustang fastback. Or, alternatively, a 1977 Toyota Celica Liftback. 1984 Supra.
