Lat, it would take more than the nozzles. Pump, tubing, switch and wiring. I could always ask for the price though.
How do you activate them?
And is there something between the parking light and the bumper?
-
a torch and a hammer
and what else??
My breaker bar
And???
Congrads on getting rid of the ugly wheel well space. Looks perfect now... Wish I had lower miles to justify an upgrade like that..

REALLY........ yes, the part number would be glorious. the gen tensioner actually broke, it was grindy and i could move the tensioner along its full range of motion easily with my hand. i dont know about the strength of the rear one but it looks to be just a pulley issue bc i see it wavering \ / \ / \ / like that
Napa #6203-2RSJ . You need two for two tensioners. My old ones move with friction at 135k miles. New ones move much smoother.
-
If the pulley is good you can just change the bearings for both tensioners. They are below $10. I had the mech did when changing the timing belt. I can find the napa part number if you cant..
I couldnt remove the serpentine belt myself. Its not easy (for me). If you can remove it I dont think changing the bearing is hard.

How do you do the adjustment? Do you have to jack up?
-
He says the TB is too small that I agree. But it is not easy to modify. And the flex pipe is really ugly in terms of flow restriction.

So I've finally had some time to start installing the coilovers. Initially I replaced the front right lateral link, which was a piece of cake. But the rear swaybar endlinks... Damn roadsalt
I'm currently ripping out the entire swaybar, because I had to drill out the bolts on the endlinks which of course is also a piece of cake. But snapping one of the subframe mount bolts, which is welded on the subframe, was not that fun. Obviously fixable, it just takes abit more time... After all three out of four came off, not too bad after ten years in the Lake Salt...
You are not changing the sway bar bushings? They are very cheap!

So this increases power or something?
In a normally driven car it may increase the max power. But in bhr's car it serves to ease the cleaning of the intercoolers.

Like it or not the spoiler is a factory option, designed and installed from the factory. Just like the trunk mounted CD changer installed at the factory, just like the winter package, just like the bose test disc set.
Unless you have ALL of it then its not fully loaded
Just like if one doesnt have the auto folding mirrors it would not be fully loaded? How about the factory installed, OEM tranny cooler, solar sunroof, rear fog light?

235 is pushing it on a 7" rim, but possible. I'd recommend 50 profile if going 225.
Thats what I think, in 20 k miles
-
Fully loaded except the engine
-
235/45-17 is the correct size to maintain stock diametre. I have General tires in that size, they're very comfortable and don't tramline.
I thought the oem 7'' rims can accommodate up to 225 mm width?

No, I heard one of those things on a civic once, I'm convinced its just a speaker that makes the noise of a crappy turbo about to blow with zero performance.
And no, NO god damn hippie technology that decreases everything about everything. I'm referring to the intercooler sprayers
And you will use the wiper blade rod to activate? That would be funny...

I'm going to restore the ME wheels and temporarily retire the 1995s.
I've kind of forgotten how to shop for tyres since the last time I did was in 2006, I plan to use tirerack.com since they were excellent last time. I want something wider than stock and slightly lower profile.... stock is 215 50 17 right??? BHR what kind of tyres do you have? Fat Man, I remember you having, well, fat tyres
that you said would tramline. :HMMM: i await input I think the next time I will go with kumho platinum grand touring tires. They are very comfy and silent tires. Performance tires are noisy and harsh. I will buy wider ones so hopefully they will compensate for the lost braking distance a bit.
Some people find local shops that match tirerack prices.

Yes MTS, and the year is 1999 where we all live in california and drive civics.
This is performance based.
electric supercharger?
-
Its because of years of abuse in that car capsule. Drive the car open the windows and you wont have any problems.
-
new sonatas look good... really want a cr-v or rav4 but got my american car right now
Impressive numbers: 200hp, 22/35 mpg. Looks like direct injection works for hyundai..
-
I think I never replaced that clip. Should I remove the whole thing and replace with a new clip?
-
Jeep has auto open/shut sunroof, very nice.
I'm actually thinking about doing the same thing to pass side just to keep it in good order
How do you put the door trim back? I think I broke some clip at the bottom of the trim now it is not totally in place.

Very few cars have an auto-up feature, infact most didn't even start seeing it until 2006 or later.
Personally I think both front windows should have auto down, and atleast driver should have auto up
My friend's 2000 corolla has the same power window/door lock features as my car.
From the driver's seat... all should be auto up and down.And the sunroof too..
Coilover Install
in Millenia / Eunos 800 / Xedos9
