i pulled out the sun visors to fix em, and someone should make some block offs, car is better without. it FEELS like there is more headroom

did the water decarbon trick, used a 3.5mm vacuum hose with a T in it. the t was open, and the end in the water got a weber idle jet, so it metered the amount of water, and in theory mixed a little air in it too. it kind of worked, i managed to not get a CEL on the front rotor, which is the weak one. the rear took a smaller jet (70 instead of 80), and still threw a code

i did about 1 liter per rotor thru the service port, i think in the future i'd use the VFAD port, and just do both at once.

That's going to work really well The horn and screen make huge difference in the airflow over the MAF...poor flow = idles like crap for sure...likely other places as well

You want to put those back

Replaced plugs, coils and wires. I meant to do that last weekend but didn't have time. Then it gave me a fight on the way home the other night. Now it runs like the first day I got it.

I passed up on it thinking it was a dud. That's why I asked for pictures, the second time I opened the thread, you've made payments already

let me know how you like the swaybars, an honest review.

I run my car hard through the mountains and the last thing i want is having it too stiff and start sliding through the corners.

it gets scary in transitions when the car starts rolling side to side and it feels like its going to initiate a drift soon.
