Do you wash your car after driving for a while...if so, do you notice steam coming off the front and/or rear rotors. This is because the rotors are HOT, which will cause the rotors to warp!! That still doesn't change the fact that the rotors may suck.

Why doesn't anybody get Ground Control coilovers. They use a threaded perch which goes around your strut, which can be raised or lowered (also corner-weighted) to your liking. Plus they use Eibachs. www.ground-control.com

Instead of the Azenis, get the Falken FK-451. Some german mag did a tire test with every high-end tire out there and the FK's finished second behind the Dunlop Sport 9000 (which are a $100 more). They handle great in the dry and the wet, which is more realistic to everyday driving...

My local dealer has all 3 colors except for the damn blue, and thats the one I really wanted to see. I originally wanted a yellow one because it is a [I]pearl[I] yellow, not a flat, which makes it unique. Yellow ones washed and shined up look awesome in bright sunlight, with the sun really...

As you can all tell by my name, the EVO8 is my car of choice. But if you guys actually read my thread, you would see that I was talking about how horsepower deficiencies can be fixed relatively easily whereas handling is harder to fix. I was comparing the EVO to the STi, not the EVO vs. MSP. My...

Plus, keep in mind they are full stainless. Most basic Japanese catback exhausts are aluminized steel with a stainless muffler. Full stainless Japanese catbacks start at around $750, whereas most Thermals are around $500. Ask any DSM guy and they will tell you that they are the best exhaust...

Why can't someone build a cast-iron manifold using the current manifold as a base. Or maybe somebody with the means could buy 1 or 2 manifolds, hack off the base flange and weld a new flange to enable the addition of a T3/4 hybrid. They could sell the new manifold and turbo as a combo (with the...

Sell your car and buy an Evolution. Ha! Just kidding! Well maybe not!?! Anyways, I would try to save at least a grand, then maybe see how much of what jred321 said that you could get.

That (bj) a big one. Better luck next time. Maybe you should have shown him your breasts!!! HA HA HA!!!(boobs) (lol)

There is nothin wrong with the guy asking how fast peoples' cars are in the 1/4 mile. It is ALWAYS easier to make a turbo car faster in a straight line than to handle better in the twisties!! Look at the Evolution vs. the STi. Nobody argues that the STi is faster, but they will say that Evo...

Thanks for the insight! I know AEM has their computer out now for a lot of turbo cars, but I'm not sure its avail. for the MSP. Plus, it's like $2g's. Has anyone on here used electronic boost and fuel controllers together (Apexi AVC-R & S-AFC or Blitz). I can get both Apexi pieces for $550 and...

Shoulda asked the dealer to pull the car out a little so you could get a better pic of the blue. I mean damn, it ain't like they didn't see you taking pictures of the silver one! I must say that the blue one looks pretty good (dare I say, like Honda SI blue, which I liked). I am still going to...

Eclipse products are excellent. From their head units down to their amps: very good high-end sh;t. Many people dont realize but Eclipse is American designed and manufactured.

I did not see the search button above (stupid). Thank you guys/girls for pointing me in the right direction. And yes I was going to add a boost gauge while doing the boost controller install. And yes I realize that not all cars are going to do the same HP-wise given the EXACT same mods. I was...

I am new to this site and I have been looking for a thread that shows exactly how to install the MBC, but have been unsuccessful. If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great. Also, what could I expect to get horsepower-wise from this mod? Would I be better off...

Can you add a port to a 'glassed enclosure? If you can, where should the port be in relation to the sub?
