    LA Shop...where do you get work done?

    shoots dude, I wouldn't even waste my time or money if the car is only a lease. Not to bring negativity to the thread, but unless your thinking about buying the car after the lease ends, I'd stay away from mods and save the money for other things. Not only that, but if you modify the engine, you...

    Remove the front swaybar ?

    Don't Remove the sway bar. The car handles like s*** without it. The front tends to roll to the side when making turns while the rear stays put. From what I've experienced, It more like understeers rather than over steer and feels weird when making turns. ****** up s*** I tell you. Not to...

    NEW! GL57Pro In Polish Finish!

    buy 'em Chris!!! I think they'd look sick on your car because it's black. I've thought about getting mine in that color but I think with the bright blue, it might look a little funky IMO. So i've stuck with the original plan of gold.

    mp5 suspension question

    99+coilovers will fit. It's all the same chasis. the difference is the front end. 99-00 have 2 piece headlights. 01-03 have 1 piece.

    mp5 suspension question

    welp, like I mentioned earlier, The REASONS why I could see you needing camber plates is for race purposes only. Camber plates usually have settings you could adjust it to so that you don't have to always put your car on an alignment machine to figure out where your camber is at. If you set it...

    mp5 suspension question

    ya, that's got me confused too? how do you control spring height? I thought by adjusting the seating perch, you adjust the spring height and that's how you control the ride height? To clarify things, all coilovers have seperate height adjustment, meaning you can raise and lower each corner to...

    Spark plug non-fouler??

    I know Checkers In Kailua has them. I went to go look one day out of the blue and they had them. Mostly any performance shops with a garage will install them for you. I highly doubt ESH will install it though. They're more of a "custom" exhaust piping/welding shop. If you have your own tools...

    holy s***!!! I missed out big time by not going back out to your house. Crap, if only my mom didn't need a ride to the airport. (i know i know, a crappy ass excuse) Lang, The car is sick...a wingless wonder. Them rims look awesome on the Speed. It's making me want my rims already. I just hope I...

    mp5 suspension question

    I hate to be rude, but I think your completely off. Actually Tein does have ride height adjustablitlity on the shock bodies. that's what TRUE COILOVERS are. pretty much all "true coilover" set ups have the strut body threaded for a seat perch and locker. And only the TEIN Basics don't come with...

    mp5 suspension question

    there is actually quite a bit of options with coilovers for the P5. TEIN - they make the Super Street set up and now they have the Basic set up too. Both are exactly identical, the only difference is the the SS has 16-way adjustable dampening force. I've had both set ups and both of them rock...

    A Huge Mahalo to Rob (vapors)

    hahaha...Chris, I think you would have made really good friends with security at the gate...lol. they were trying to figure out my car and it's pretty much stock, just dropped with a lip and exhaust. Me and Lang had a good laugh when we thought about what they'd say about your car when you...

    A Huge Mahalo to Rob (vapors)

    Ahh Lang! No Problemo....Too bad we could ride that thing into the sunset though...that would have topped the day off with all the crap we had to do; And then redo 10x's again...lol. But hey, at least it runs and we got all the body parts mounted and aligned properly with out any scratches...Oh...

    Potential Newbie Questions

    Here, I'll answer your questions. Like mention earlier the trim models go DX, LX, ES, MP3 and MSP. They are all pretty much the same exact chasis. The only thing that sets them apart is looks, performance and features. DX - Base Model. Nothing special at all. It's pretty much 4 tires, a shell...
