    [SOLVED] What's Leaking?

    No o-ring associated with this sensor? Either it became loose or oil made it through the sensor body... Hard to tell.

    Necessary to install new coils and injectors?

    IF this aint the turbo I dont know what it is. Its getting bad. Center section? Turbo inlet has always been wet even with catchcan. Hard to tell where its coming from. Might need to add some dye. Its dripping all over the axle...OEM turbo's leak wasnt nearly this bad.

    I had two OEM horns on my car for years. Both of horns were sounding almost dead so I looked around and found 2 Mazda (Ford) horns with bracket for a different model year and they fit and are loud as shit for $27 delivered on amazon. Way better than crap aftermarket horns. Been down that road a...

    Bilstein B12 Prokit VS KW V3

    Been driving the car through the city and I gotta say that the difference is amazing. Control AND compliance. I have winter tires on so the steering is def not very sharp but I dont feel a lot of loss of precision and now I can run her hard in the city without smashing into the bump stops. Of...

    Bilstein B12 Prokit VS KW V3

    I'm driving on the new suspension yesterday through a construction zone and a lowered Acura is at a crawl, weaving to avoid the horrific pavement, and Im pretty much gliding over it and I though to myself, that was me 2 weeks ago...low and sexy, but handicapped in the City.

    Bilstein B12 Prokit VS KW V3

    No coilovers for you eh? Its day 3, brought my car for an alignment and wheel balance. Its so 4x4....not happy at all about that. Steering feels almost as sharp as with the 400 lbs/in springs. But I can go over bumps and not wince. Its always a compromise.

    Bilstein B12 Prokit VS KW V3

    if youre having trouble getting the rear strut onto the bottom attachment point, use a large plier...works awesome. This little tool works great for opening up the front strut receiver.

    rear OEM bump stop with the rear Bilstein Prokit strut?

    I used the OEM bump stops and dust shields but didn't trim. That's what Bilstein intends... As I understand it I realized that I didn't install the little hockey puck from the OEM rear struts onto the Bilstein piston. I assume they are intended to prevent the bump stops from pushing into the...

    Bilstein B12 Prokit VS KW V3

    90% people won't cross shop these two setups. I know. But after 10 years on V3s, two returns for repair of the rears (over 80k-90k miles), failed repair of the fronts and maybe because the ride deteriorated as the fronts wore out over the years I got tired of KW. Maybe I just got tired of...
