I have a 2013 and was pretty confused b/c I thought you were talking about the fog design being better, but you must mean the headlights, huh?

Foglight (bulbs?) easier to change than headlight (bulbs?)? Unless you are missing your undertray, I call shenanigans! The headlight bulbs take all of 30seconds, and you don't have to lay down to get to them.

That flap is a countermeasure to keep owners from getting their foot trapped behind the b-pedal, when moving their foot from the a-pedal to the b-pedal. Seriously. We've implemented the same thing on several Toyota models b/c stupid people do that, then blame us (either in court, or to NHTSA).

Hey Kojack, you and i had an almost identical Q&A exchange in my thread previously. It sounds like you absolutely have a 100% legitimate need for extreme amounts of forward light. The reason we (the forum in general) are arguing with you when you ask about adapting 55W HID's into your stock...

Ah, that's right, I forgot. Less performance, more lows! (not trying to rag on tbholbrook, I like the look of his 5 in general. I'd like side sills and a front lip eventually myself. In fact, I wish I could have gotten my car in white, I think it looks very clean.) PLEASE tell me that...

There are two MTG2 emitters as part of each bulb. Hellst advertises 3600 lumen from each bulb, which is 1800/emitter and not unreasonable, based on looking at the Cree spec sheet for the MTG2: http://www.cree.com/LED-Components-and-Modules/Products/XLamp/Arrays-Directional/XLamp-MTG2-EasyWhite...

Why such skinny tires on an 8.5" wheel?

AWESOME. Thanks a lot for that research, that is very helpful. I asked around on my boosted mz3 FB group regarding clutches and flywheels, and based on some feedback I'm leaning towards an OEM ms3 clutch/pressure plate, and a lightweight aftermarket flywheel (Fidanza being the apparent default...

Thanks for the info loosenut. I'm not too scared about getting the trans in place (famous last words), since we know it fits in the identically shaped ms3. But it helps to know that I should expect it to be tight, just the fact of being prepared for issues like that makes a huge difference...

At 100k they are almost certainly toast, especially the passenger side motor mount.

About $1800. Like I said (somewhere, maybe not this thread), I got lucky. :)

"Free time"? What's that?

Honestly, I don't know how difficult it's going to be. I was trying to get info regarding the swap (into a 5, or 3, or anything), but was finding very little. So you say the ms3-trans-into-mz3 is reportedly a PITA? I would really like to know what you have heard about the difficulties...

Meisenman, Davicho is correct. The design of an open differential is such that when one wheel begins to slip, 100% of the engine's torque is directed to that wheel - the wheel with no traction. With an open diff, you only have as much traction as the wheel with the least traction. Hence "one...

Slowly, but well.

Two wheel drive.

On a pallet and on its way to me...

Yeah, they do that, though that's one of the more gruesome ones I've seen. If you replace with stock, it will happen again eventually. Sorry, I have no input on the JBR. Actually I would like to know the same thing. (NVH) I want/need stiffer mounts, but don't want significantly more NVH as...

Just got done taking pictures/measuring/evaluating the DDM 55W HID kit. Report to follow in the next day or two.

I bought a speed3 trans. (and other stuff) 2WD, bitches!!!
