Went back to the dealer yesterday. Had popped a bunch of evap codes. They couldn't find any leaks, so they cleared it and told me if it comes back they'll send it out for a firmware update. I'm hoping it does; this thing has rev hang like no other. They also found the factory exhaust and gave it...

"Shop" It's a steel building on the owner's property. Concrete floor, no insulation, no heat, no water. 4 of us split it at $150/ mo each. has a drive-on lift but it's kinda sketch, plus none of our cars can get on it anyways so we pulled the ramps off and made it another parking spot. The...

It's already lowered on what look to be Tein S.Tech springs. I didn't catch what dampers were on it but I presume they are stock based on the ride. When those blow I'll upgrade them. This car will have to go through that hell that is Wisconsin winters so I don't want to slam it too hard.

Modding is what the DC is for. I won't be modding this unless something breaks. If something breaks, I'll upgrade it. Otherwise, I'm pouring my focus into this guy:

My new daily. '07 FA5, 66k on the clock. Tinted, Skunk2 Megapower, Tein S.Techs. Clean as a whistle. No major plans for mods: HID's, maybe fogs, shifter, intake, wheels. Boom, done.

Good work. I may have to try this.

Rolling fenders isn't as scary as you may think. I did my rears with a bat in about twenty minutes. Just heat the lip up with a torch or heat gun to soften the paint first and you'll be golden.

I would change your antifreeze first and foremost. Could just be original coolant that's way overdue for repalcement.

I run 35w 4300k on my Teg. Gives a great natural light.

Request sent.

Nice progress. I actually kinda like that Fugen lip lol... If you don't mind me asking, how much did your rebuild end up costing? I'm about to plunge into one and am curious what other people's price points were...

I meant the lift in the rear could make handling interesting. Removing it could help reduce that. My bad.

Hear what I mean not what I say! Rear bumper catches air, causes rear lift. Rear lift=less weight on rear tires. Add in braking, less weight in rear. Now, cut rear bumper. Less air caught, less lift, more weight in back, more stability under braking. Granted, we are probably talking...

It'll help reduce lift in the rear, which combined with braking could further unload the rear suspension and make handling...interesting.

The bolts like to catalyze to the bushing sleeves. I just went through the same thing in my Teg, went to loosen the rear control arms and SNAP!

It's probably steel. Either way, if you're making your own steel would probably be cheaper.

I forget if the holes are already there or just dimples, but getting to them takes seconds, and measuring them won't take much longer...

Nice rex! Where in WI are you? I'm in Lake Geneva...

Sounds like time for a GSR/ITR swap.

Wonder if the spongy pedal was caused by using the bigger calipers with the stock master cylinder...I'm assuming the Legends and ITRs used a bigger MC for the bigger calipers?
