Lemme know how you like those megans, as I'm looking into coilovers for my x8 also and megans seem to be one of the more cost effective options for the chassis.

Also any word on the spacer?

lookin pretty damn good wes, i wish i had the time to pull my engine and get some of those things replaced in mine after i had a few failures.... and i know youl be happy with those coilovers, i just installed my megan coilovers 3 days ago and they are one hell of aset for under 1000!

also, did you plan on selling the whole oil pump setup as one with the lines and everything? im going to be replacing my crank after i had a pretty bad bhg and overheating issues over 3 years ago and finally started developing knock from it not too long ago, and i wanna make sure i have a high volume oil pump with good pickup on it to prevent further issues.


did you shim the oil pump to increase oil pressure for the whole system as well??

also, where did you get that knock sensor at? i need a new one since im on the maft pro and no longer safc-II. need to see how my engine is doin without driving around with a mechanics stethascope in my ears the whole time lol


and WOOO wes if finally into cressidas, finally we are gonna get some great parts for great prices!
