    Summer 08 meet?

    I have an interested buyer for my car in the West Allis/Milwaukee area so if all goes well the MP3 will be moving to Milwaukee too...

    Summer 08 meet?

    I kind of though maybe something by Holy Hill would prove entertaining as well. But depends on how much of a drive oriented versus just meet oriented we want to be. There should be a few half decent public parks out that way as well. Or we can meet at a park and ride.. how cool would that be...

    Summer 08 meet?

    Busy/traveling etc. don't get on the forums a ton usually. I'll try to check my calendar today and set a date. Is there any major preference showing up so far between something more in the Madison area versus something in the Milwaukee area? I would guess on average Milwaukee is closer...

    Rishie's FITMENT RECIPE

    I used a 40 or 42 offset without issue on a 15x7 and ran 205 Kumho's and Hoosiers without any issue. The hoosiers would JUST barely touch the rear finder lip, but no big deal really.

    transmission vent?

    There is a certain level of pressure it requires though as they don't want a free exchange of air in there as it could cause corrosion. But when heat builds up it does let out some air so it doesn't blow out the seals at the axles.

    there is definitely a vent on top of the transmission. It is a little brass looking dome thing with a few holes on the side...

    Summer 08 meet?

    a little less the 13K and you could have the keys forever!!! :) We'll have to see if I bring the BMW or the MP3... will depend, but probably the MP3. I re-tweaked the tune a little last night and the startup is now basically flawless (it used to bog a little after initial start when cold and...

    5th Gear Swap from NSN - Anyone Tried This?

    I have the torque specs somewhere. I have a fully transmission manual. I've broken many of the oil passage things off. I always replace them, I know one person who had it broken off and their 5th gear burned up.. but I know another that never had an issue... soo.. who knows there.

    looking for!

    I've got my hood that's on my car. It would be doable to work something out and I could strip it for you if needed. It has one crack in the CF gell-coat but I rebuilt it 18 months ago or whatever with aircraft grade structural epoxy, so I know it is good from that side of things.

    DIY How To Remove/Install Tranny and LSD or Disassemble Gears

    I can't remember if it does or not, I don't think that it does though from what I remember. The ball joint REALLY sticks in there. I had to use pickle forks to get it out and you pretty well wreck the dust boot every time, so I would replace the dust boot each time I needed to do that. I...

    Larger Injectors For Forced Induction

    That's pretty weird as every 3rd gen I've seen has had 4 bolts on a VICS/VTCS manifold.

    Larger Injectors For Forced Induction

    ahhhh... I missed the 626 part of the equation. I was just concerned that something wasn't right or you were having problems, and wanted to make sure that you were aware from my side what I did or didn't expect with the kit and why. But if you have it on a 626 and don't have the spacers in and...

    5th Gear Swap from NSN - Anyone Tried This?

    this is typically what we here. Most people see at least on mpg and up to about 2 mpg... never heard of any 3 mpg or more though.... so 1-2 it is.
