    help! just installed progress springs + tokico illuminas and i have a horrible rattle

    The facts: -Shocks and springs were used, from some guy with a regular protege. I double checked the part number stamped on the shocks is the same as the ones sold by speedcircuit and crossover. -I almost certainly way overtightened the top mount/piston rod end nut. looked at the torque specs...

    SMIC delete brackets anyone?

    Hi guys, as you may know, you need two fans on the MSP stock rad, or you risk overheating(especially if you use AC). However, if you have an FMIC and the stock rad, you have to leave the SMIC in in order to hold the fan and support the radiator. I think this is inelegant, so I'm making some...

    The top of my bAck bumper rubs on the bottom middle of the trunk lid. Is there some adjustment or clip I can fiddle with to fix this? I tried to wedge some double sided tape in there but it came off after a few days.

    oil leak from.. wait, what is this thing?

    i can't get a picture, I can barely see it from under the car. the leak is on the rear of the engine, above the filter , below the intake. it feels like theres a sort of rubber cork in the back of the block, with a lug terminal bolted to it. I think its leaking from here: appreciate any insight.
