I'm wondering... shouldn't the e-fan thermo sensor be located on the bottom radiator hose?
I mean... after all, the point of the e-fan is to kick in and help the cooling system when the radiator's cooling capacity isn't enough -- and this should be measured after the water goes through the radiator... right? Btw, my BC Racing coils just arrived! :) Just some stupid pictures of stuff that should be in my car, but for some reason isn't... Attachment 658010 Attachment 658011 |

Finally decided to get the coils installed
Attachment 657558 This is how our equivalent of "ricers" setup their suspension down here in Argentina. They drive cheap european FWD hatchbacks, slammed front and lifted rear Attachment 657559 Attachment 657560 Rear BC Racing coil vs OEM strut + TEIN S-Tech spring Attachment 657561 Rear is done! Attachment 657562 We weren't able to get the jack under the front, so we improvised Attachment 657563 Attachment 657564 Front BC Racing coil vs OEM strut + TEIN S-Tech spring Attachment 657565 Friends helping out while I take pictures Attachment 657566 Front coils installed!

Sweet camber plates
Attachment 657552 All done! Attachment 657553 This is how she sits at the moment Attachment 657554 Pro-tip: New coilovers give a much better ride than 22 year-old struts and 3 year-old TEIN springs ... also, some stuff I found lying around while installing the new suspension Boxer brothers Attachment 657555 Attachment 657556 ... 325mm sweetness Attachment 657557 |
This thread has been a great read so far. Can't wait to see the ITBs installed.

The exhaust is finally in...
Attachment 644985 Attachment 644986 Attachment 644987 Attachment 644988 Attachment 644989 Attachment 644990 2.5" Primaries... collected to 3" It REDEFINES what the word LOUD means... it's... ridiculous... it's actually retarded. You actually feel embarrassed while driving the car. I'll record a couple of videos and upload tomorrow |
What did you do to get the belt drive to work? I have the same kit and when I turn the car over the belt walks a couple 8ths of an inch off the e-shaft pulley on the bottom

Are you running the PS pulley over the main one as well? |

The gilmer kit was far from being plug-n-play... had to modify stuff a bit to make everything align properly
what's your opinion/experience with the coilovers you have thus far? |

No, because the temp at the bottom of the rad can be misleading. You want the temp sensor to look directly at how hot the engine is running. That's why the stock temp switch (not sensor) for the auxiliary fan mounts at the top of the thermostat housing. The coolant thermo sensor for the ECU is also near the thermostat (the two pin sensor threaded from the back at the housing). |
No I'm just running the alternated, water pump, and e-shaft pulleys, it seems like the alternated pulley needs to go on the shaft further but wont. I work at a machine shop so u could throw it on the lathe but I don't wanna remove material unless I have to

Damn, my water pump and e-shaft fit perfectly just that damn top pulley
