Hey guys, The end of last year my oil pump drive pulley snapped off, today I finished opening up my 7m to check whats going on, nothing seems seized, I can turn the engine over just fine by hand, I can also turn the oil pump shaft without a problem. If anyone has had a similar problem or...

Hey guys, I'm really not one to do this BUT. This year I'm building my engine up a bit, hoping to fix the suspension up too but I won't be able to touch up the paint for a little while (limited funds you know). Up here in Canada there is a wrap company having a contest. To get myself to...

Hey guys, I thought I'd come here and ask if anyone has any good (or bad) experiences with HIPerformance and their silicone hose kits? I've finally fixed my boost leaks and now have a vacuum leak or 2 (realizing the toll my jdm engine took during its shelf time). I knew I wanted to get...
