    Oil Temp Sender Placement

    Other than tapping the oil pan, where is the best place for an oil temp thermocouple/sender on our cars? I had an idea to tap the drain plug, but I'm not sure the diameter is large enough to support the sender. Any ideas? Peace...(hippy)

    WTB: Hawk pads in OEM fitment for MSP

    Looking for Hawk pads in the stock MSP fitment. I haven't had any luck in direct communication with Hawk. Any one have a cross listing to other cars for the pads (i.e. is there a more common application for our front/rear pads which I can use to buy the pads). Peace...(hippy)

    iON Springs Review

    I recently installed the iON Performance Race Spec springs on my MSP. Since then, the car has been aligned and driven hard on the short infield road course at Texas Motor Speedway. Here are my initial thoughts: Condition: The springs arrived in fair condition. The fronts and rears were boxed...

    Narrowband A/F logic check?

    A'PEXi Turbo Timer w/ Air Fuel Ratio Display

    OK, so I'm getting ready to install the A'Pexi Turbo Timer w/AF Display. Does anyone have experience with the accuracy of this particular air/fuel display relative to other narrowband options? Did you tap in at the sensor or at the ECU? My thought with this unit was to kill 2 birds with one...

    Stock: 5 psi

    Here's another data point. I just installed an Autometer mechanical gauge in my MSP. The stock boost occasionally spikes to 6 psi, but always levels off right around 5. Now it's time to crank it up! One thing to note is that the turbo seems to spool up VERY quickly once it gets started. Now...

    AutoX Wheel/Tire Opinions Needed

    I have an opportunity to purchase a set of used Kosei K1 15x7 wheels for US$300 and was wondering if I the investment is worth it for AutoX only? The wheels (13 lbs. each) are quite a bit lighter than the stock RHs (I believe), and I could probably go with 225/50/15 tires. Will I notice a...
