I removed the Mach system and did a 5 channel amp with touchscreen head unit, going to a 10" JL Stealth box. Looks factory and sounds great. I did have to make custom tweeter mounts for the mach tweeter location though.
Mine was doing the same. It was scary and I could feel my IRS swaying left and right...felt like a wheel was about to fall off.
I had the rear wheel bearings replaced, fixed my problems. I had a dealer do it because I didn't have a press at the house.
I bought the car with what I believe is a Spec Stage 2 w/26 spline. It's a good clutch and holds...however the pedal is super stiff. If my seat didn't have a backrest to push against, I couldn't drive it.
Drivers side > Passenger side when it comes to "catch cans". Passenger side pulls air from the intake into the crankcase. It 'exhausts' out the drivers side, where the catch can is needed more.
Junkyard for tail lights because they are all the same, new OEM for headlights.
I tried the knock off "OEM" style and they lasted a few months before turning yellow and rubber deteriorating. Actual OEM has been on for a few years and still look great. I don't mind tinted taillights, but if the...
I will disagree with you on that. More surface area does mean better grip, but a larger circumference will change moment about the crank. Therefore increasing 'pressure' on the crank.
Will this hurt anything on a street car, probably not.
I bought the car with, I believe, a Spec 2+ clutch. It's hard to justify a $1000 McLeod setup though, just because my current clutch is 'stiff'. I think I would enjoy driving more with a less stiff clutch. It seems I have to brace myself before each shift. Just judging from feel and experience...
My clutch is stiff as heck. If there was no back rest on the seat, I couldn't drive it due to the pressure. Sometimes a 6R80 seems like a lovely mod.
Overall, its great though relatively speaking. I just upgraded the sound system to all kicker and JL 10" sub. About 800w and it sounds perfect...
I will say, just because you put on a different alternator pulley size, that will not bulletproof the alternator. I would always be weary of these "stock" alternators. Anytime it dips below 12.8v while driving, start saving money.
