    Engine Noise when Cold, Gone when Hot??

    Anyone who knows the exact answer to this feel free to correct me, but I was under the impression its a common problem, or noise, assuming its not too violent related to a valve or lifter, and goes away once the engine warms up expands/oil circulated. Heard it was more of a slight annoyance...

    loss of power when hot/higher gears rpms

    I have the same issue, and I am running and upgraded sidemount, INJEN cai, vibrant, hardpipes for both the hot and cold, and unichip. My WGA is fine, I hold the correct boost I have it set for and the correct vaccum. Kind of leads me to believe A: it's heatsoak, B: my unichip has a s*** tune. I...

    Spark Plugs

    I've been browsing the site, and multiple posts, and I've seen people say the car doesn't react well to plugs without the correct gap, which makes sense. However what about the NGK plugs that tell you not to regap them? Are those not a good idea to use,? should you use a plug you can gap to the...

    Brake issue

    Warped rotor if i had to guess. Alot of places offer free brake inspections. Most of the time getting a pair of rotors resurfaced is inexpensive and should fix the problem.

    Broken swaybar bracket welded nut..

    Had the same problem happen as everyone else. just stick a wrench on it, it will pin up against the sub frame as you turn the bolt head with a ratchet, holding the nut in place. Dont even need to hold the wrench.

    Funny boost gauge reading

    Boost Gauge This may or may not apply to you due to the type of guage you are using. But with nexus gauges, if you wire it so power comes from a source that is interrupted during ignition, i.e you turning the key to start the car, past acc etc. the guage zeroes itself out at the wrong point...

    Vibrant Resonator

    Anyone ever tried to quiet down a vibrant 3' exhaust by having one welded in? And if so, any suggestions. I'm so sick of the noise, and a silencer does absolutly nothing.

    Opinions on a Carbon Fiber Look..

    I'm not a fan of carbon fiber. I was, but after going through two hoods over several years, I decided it just wasnt worth it. I agree it looks pretty hot, I had the bumblebee thing going on for 4 years, just went to stock recently. The california sun wrecked havoc on my hoods it would seem.
