some questions about fc

hey all, I was wondering if: any of the NA S5 came with front and/or rear strut bars, and what is oil baffle plate and what does it do? Oh and I heard that you can just remove the fuel pulsation dampener instead of changing it every now and then. Is this true?

Okay thanks for the answers! I just have some questions left XD
Does the S5 have an airpump? I want to get an aftermarket alternator, water pump and main pulleys but does one of these pulleys replace airpump?
And, for cleaning fuel injectors, should I take them out and clean them or put in those injector cleaning fluid in my fuel tank?

yes the s5 has an air pump.
most aftermarket pulley systems do not account for keeping the air pump.
the right way is to send them in to RC engineering to have them cleaned and blueprinted. other than that, its all sort of the same. a pressurized FI system cleaner will probably help the most.

Well, it's easier said than done. A lot of guys go years without getting lucky. Just keep trying and eventually the PD will put out.

May I suggest showering with gifts, affection, love, and attention.

Also be sure to stay safe, use a condom.

lol jmkogut, u just made my day hahaha!

But seriously, how do you do it?

And Is there an AST in an FC? If there isn't one, would it be beneficial to get one?
And what about the battery replacement that you have to do on the 3rd gen, do I need to do that to get better airflow to the radiators?
Oh and another question: will 18" Wheels fit on the car with the body dropped approx. 1"? The one im looking at is the Koblenz by Falken.
