  1. I hope you didnt get the lights from anyone from England. You are going to piss off a lot of people on any American road!
  2. dont put speakers in that location. They are going to be too close togther to sound good. Use the 6 oem locations and add a sub. If anything, you may want to add small tweeters to the mirror triangles up front. I crnge whenever I see someone bastardise the parcel trays. impossible to find as is...

    I want to see the suitcase cut open.
  4. they will run on anything. Issue is how well, for how long. I was shocked to discover champions in mine. I would say stay away from anything platinum, but there seem to be a few choises other than the standard NGK coppers. A few peeps have splashed out and ordered Denso Iridiums, too dear for my blood.

    Why didnt you go with the space on the passenger side? Much easier, no fuel filler, etc. Agree w/ the foolishness of 6x9's in the parcel shelf. They are also way to close together to sound decent.
  6. I'd switch to an ipod hu or get the kenwood mp3 cd changer. 700 Megs times 10 cd's is about 42+ hours of music...

    3l vr

    If you want to make moe power in F/I, just turn up the boost. It's easier, and safer to buildup a stock bored car. The real key to vr6 power is in the head. Get air in and out of the head efficiently. Port matching and a log intake will more than match any increase you get from larger bore. Going into the bottom end of a vr isnt cheap. Plenty big power cars running stock bottom ends. Vic from Eurosport had a 3.2 litre corrado. I believe that may have been the largest non stroked vr I have encountered. If you get the block sonic tested, you ca really determine how far you can go. I ust think it's a huge waste of money unless you are doing the work yourself, cheaply, or for contingency money.

    The gains from boring arent worth the cost, unless the bores are out of whack and you are need of a rebuild.
  11. I may just set fire to it and set it adrift. Came home today and she wouldnt start, and I am getting flooding in the passenger side from drainplugs... :mad:
  12. MB Quarts, Focals Alpine, JBL, Infiniti. JL Audio make some nice stuff too.
  13. Edit: Fixed your veeeeery long link --Andi
  14. use ARP headstuds next time. Much more robust.

  16. wire hanger + long flathead screwdriver + swearing
  17. Mine is turning into dust from the heat of summers. Just a reminder to people not to ruin them by cutting holes in them for speakers..
  18. google it, comes up as a fuel injector.

    SHOW US YOUR RIMS

    running blatant ill fitting copies of these..
  20. Just swap w/ the yanks... A 90mm spoler is almost £125 w/ carriage.
  21. I think I got mine from Volksbits or Awesome gti years ago. The corrado thread pitch differs from standard iirc.
  22. This is a brand new product, so noone has had one long enought to have it crack. Techtonics is a reputable firm, so they'll stand behind it.
  23. Bill builds some amazing cars. Parted out his 11 second beast to buy a 911.
