Re: WRX Sti 2004 or Type R?

I think you guys are all a little too biased towards the ITR. I own one and love it, but dont think its the god of all cars. The STI is practically a supercar with stock 1/4 mile as quick as 13.1 and handling to match, not to mention the convenience of a 4 door and the aftermarket potential of a tur...

Re: Clutch/flywheel/final drive suggestions

Oh, and if it would help...so far i have I/E/H...the car will never be forced induction but an all motor build is in future plans...it is my only car so it keeps daily driver status.

Does anybody know a website or place where i can get these parts for cheap.

Thanks,

Clutch/flywheel/final drive suggestions

Time for a new clutch on the R. Good news...got some extra cash laying around and want to go all out with new clutch/flywheel and maybe a final drive. I dont want to spend more than 1200 for the parts. I have heard only good things about the clutchmaster 7.5lb flywheel, and will probably settle with...

Re: stock 15" wheels vs. aftermarket 17" wheels

If you like the look of the 17s, id keep them. Ive had both 15s and 17s and like the added off the line traction that i can get with a wider rim/tire...plus i like the look. Although, my rims weigh the same as stock so we are in a slightly different boat. Hope that helps...

I think i might be losing my licence as well. Was going 85 in a 50 when a cop passed by going the other way about 3 miles from my house. Immediate reaction was to get to my house as quick as i could. After a small chase i was home safe in my garage...until my neighbor ratted me out and the cops came...

Would you buy these coilovers

The reserve is $500 on these. I am looking for either good lowering springs or inexpensive coilovers. however, i dont want anything cheap that will mess up what acura did such a great job with. let me know what you think...thanks http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2413...

Trey, do you think it would be worth like 700 or 800 for me to get them...or continue shopping around? I know they would not be the best coilovers...but hopefully a good step up from just springs. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice, i will look into the H & Rs. I was searching ebay and found some coilovers that look like a pretty good deal. (if the bidding stays low) Do you guys know anything about an Endless Zeal Full Suspension System (B kit)? The link to ebay is http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...

I have sprint springs (1 1/2) inch drop. Great ride, but it looks exaclty stock...cant tell the difference. If you want a stock height, i would recommend them, but im very disappointed.

Damn bbq, i think you are crazy. I have never heard of a launch at 8000 in an R. I find my best launches near 4000 while slipping the clutch a little bit. I dont know if i have the balls to try a sidestep at 8000, but if you say it works i might try it on the track to see how the 60 ft times compare...

I realize that this is a dumb question but does anybody know where to find a rear seat that is red with black stitching? Is this seat even made? If my research is correct, that seat only comes on the canadian models. I have the JDM recaros and have been looking for quite some time now. Anybody help?...
