but still the center mount oil cooler is a waste. im dealing with it now.. it sucks...
ebay has legit oilcoolers (CXracing, or someshit) for $50/per 25row.

if you want to spend $200 each on Derale, go for it, but im not.

30 rows would be cool but space looks retarded tight.

The part I REALLY don't want to deal with is the ******* AN lines....
man up pusssy. after it's done, you can pop your hood for the fashion show, and chicks will get wet and think you're a baller if you can drop $1k on fittings alone.

if your hands are too cutup to make out im sure they'll understand.

my satoru works knuckles came with inner rack spacers. I presume the Supernow/mazdatrix kits do the same thing sans the spacer?

the satoru works spindles bend the arm downwards so stock ends work with where the tie rod end is placed. i don't agree with the ackerman angle at which those knuckles run, but if they work for you that's great..

Chance, u need front hard lines?

The GP kit is the same as the SuperNow ones correct?

I need the stupid little short ones that go into the caliper if you have a pair Justin, let me know how much you want for them and I'll shoot you the money.


I guess I could probably call you haha
I have some old calipers laying around that probably have them in them if you want to come by and pick them up. I ended up just buying a new set of calipers for my car and never used any of the stuff I bought used. Have a spare set of reman calipers in the boxes too somewhere.

so i went to get an allignment the other day and i was told that he couldnt do it. he said that something was fed up with the rear toe accentric bolt but i dont remember exactly what he said was wrong. i recently changed my clutch so i dropped the rear end while i was at it and replaced some bushings(diff, subframe). is it possible that i messed up something while doing it. and i also need to get adjs. camber links which i probably should have done before but w/e.

also if anyone has a pic of what i need to look at that would be great. i googled it but couldnt find the right angle

Would a bushing kit be any help for drifting? Like the polyurethane kit from Energy Suspension?

I have them in the FC. They are a lot better than the OEm worn out crap, but if I had the coin I would spring for the MMR spherical bearings.

Oh yeah. I have all my winter mods ready to go into my FC. I'm going to be adding (in no particular order)
V-Mount Intercooler and Radiator
Stoptech rotors
Hawk HP+ pads
Mazdatrix angle kit
15mm spacers for the front wheels
and roll the **** out of my fenders



I think with the v-mount I'm going to need to ditch my scoop hood and get something with vents. Opinions?

Louvered Vert hoods are sexy, and surprisingly you don't see many around.

Something along these lines would be awesome:

Go sexy style. And do the 15mm spacers work without modding the stock studs?
