Fixed my valve cover gasket and noise is gone. Was not an exhaust leak.

No one said it was definitely an exhaust leak but it was suspected. As jerseymods has shown above, no crack and all hardware tight. Im just saying i have a weird sound. Since I have a shot valve cover gasket and sound, im only putting two and two together. I have to fix the gasket and if...

I think i've solved where the sound is emanating from. I opened up the hood today and noticed oil on the front of my block. Without taking anything apart, above the heat shield and below the valve cover it was completely coated. Fearing the worst I checked the coolant and it was clean. Looks...

I think I have the same problem. Just started a couple months ago. I hear it when i first start out and the car hasnt reached operating temperature. It really does sound like a sewing machine and only during acceleration. Once the car warms up it stops. I was hoping its not the valves for some...

Anyone know what his screen name was? Or if he even comes on the site anymore? Id like to send a PM. Thanks.

Ditto.

Instead of double sided tape use urethane. Same stuff they use for windshields. Go into any local windshield shop and ask to buy a tube. Will load into a regular silicone gun.

Can someone tell me if the canards on this lip are solid urethane or are they hollow? Edit: pics didnt post however im talking about the lip with the canards on the sides. Thanks.

Sounds like he just needs to put a couple things together. All the hard work is done. Well if i can be of any help please let me know and ii'll offer what i can. Thanks again!

Hey steed. Im in the same province as you. Could you pm me with details of what exactly you'd need for someone to do to ensure this goes through. I may be willing to help to make this happen. Our community definitely needs the support. I appreciate your time on this.

Thanks for the update. Id rather wait for a quality part vs another. Ill keep my eyes open for if this is ever a go in the future.

Update?

I need one. Waiting for updates.

The b.c. Section is pretty slow overall. Revscene might be a better avenue to find enthusiasts in your neck of the woods. Even for vancouver this section has been slow.

Not true. They can be turned just like regular plain rotors.

I just installed kvr's. with hawk pads on the rear. So far so good. Waiting to do the fronts with kvr pads.

Regular maintenance will increase the life of the car. Unless something is broken to begin with, Upgrading parts just makes the car more fun and personalized. Something youve already experienced with your bushings.

What happened to having fun with the car? Simple bolt on's are a good starting point. Cold air intake, exhaust, SMIC with hard pipes etc. All allow you to go back to stock easily. Just keep the factory parts.

I've used mine as a daily driver since new. I have to say its been a very reliable car thus far. I've taken it through the mountain passes on a few occasions and it's been fantastic through the curves. The only major problem, if you can call it major, was an overheating issue last year which a...

You get what you pay for. Cheap seats have sloppy mechanisms. Save and buy the real thing. It'll last longer and you'll be happier in the end.
