knock offs VS the real deal. I've heard many bad things about the knock offs dying to soon and sounding terrible. There is a reason the knock offs are so cheap.
I thought that might be a problem, thanks.
good choice. The main thing they look at is not your downpayment, it's how much you can afford monthly and any car payment, credit card payment etc. cuts into that.
For me it was better to payoff my wife's car and have no car payment than have the extra money for a downpayment.
But why shell out the extra cash when you can get the knockoffs for way less and save some money...

Because encouraging people to rip off products is un-american. Intellectual property rights exist. Respect them.

why do things twice when you can do them right the first time? If you want garbage keep supporting knock off companies, me personally im willing to pay more to know i wont have to do things twice.
plus hellas aren't that much more, still well below the $100 mark. They also come with the relay and are louder than the sickspeeds
But Rotas are sooo awesome!
Haha, clearly forgot to hit the sarcasm button... What I don't understand is people agreeing that knockoff horns are lame but other parts like knockoff wheels are acceptable... And I'm not pointing the finger at anyone in particular just the general mentality...
And yet we do it all the time...
As I sit on the side of the interstate letting my car cool off I figured it'd be a good time for an update... Cars still not idling correctly, cleaned the maf and it didn't help, checked it for cracks and it seems to be fine, I finally ha a code come up on the car last night after I got on it a little, the code was a camshaft position sensor circuit malfunction. And something else isn't right with my car, it pours water out of my overflow can almost everything I drive it, it doesn't run hot though. Well at least not until today, so I'm sitting here waiting for it to cool down and going to check my water and limp it home. I'm probably going to end up taking it to a mechanic to, I'm tired of trying to figure out what it is
There is probably a flow problem in the coolant system, are the coolant hoses both hot?
water pump or temp sensor maybe?
The cap seems to fit snug, i put a protege 5 radiate in it when I swapped motors as got a new cap, could it have something to do with the heater core possibly? I flushed it out when the motor was out and a bunch of nasty stuff came out of it, the previous owner put stop leak in my radiator and it messed everything up on the inside of my motor
p5 rad doesn't cool as well as the stock msp. Did you change to a fmic or did you always have it? maybe it doesn't have enough airflow to the rad
