    Rear left suspension rattle

    I would say that before doing anything else, lubricate the sway bar bushings. I know they are "supposed" to squeak but in my case they were clanging. The end links appear fine but lubing the bushings took care of the problem. To diagnose I just used WD-40 equivalent, but for the long term I am...

    Everything brakes. Input please?

    Lightweight rotors won't be able to dissapate as much heat, which is what brakes do. I wouldn't get too excited about it myself. BTW, EBC has a special for SCCA members (maybe NASA too) where you can get 2 sets of pads for about $200. They even will do custom pads. I just got my set of ECB...

    Group buy for custom EBC Blue front brake pads for street and track use

    I've been extensively researching brake pads for the MS3 and it's been a tricky affair trying to find the best pads out there in terms of performance. If your concern is brake dust and clean wheels this post is not for you. However if your concern is to have a single set of pads that you can...

    Brake Pad and Rotor Suggestions

    I want to have a brake setup that is a good mix for street and tracking. I tracked the stockers and they worked much better than I had anticipated. Actually the rears seem to get hotter than they should have, the fronts settled in after about 3 laps into a run and pretty much stabilized there. I...

    Bose = garbage

    If you really want to improve the sound immensely without dropping big bucks look for the "fix for Bose" thread, wherein a few crossovers transform the sound of the package for about $50 or so. And most importantly everything still looks stock.

    speaker replacement

    If you just want t a good factory system do the things in the fix for Bose postings. It just involves replacing the cheesy tweeters and then putting crossovers in for the door speakers. There are two posts to read .. The fix for Bose and something about Cheap Blose fix

    Stock Bridgestone RE050A Tire Chunking

    I'm inclined to think it's too much toe .. whether it's toe in or toe out remains to be seen, but too much toe in either direction causes tons of scrub, and therefore heat. If your car is very darty, you most likely have too much toe out (good for autox). If your seems a bit slow in the...

    FS: Rota wheels with Falken tires - SE Michigan

    Do you have any pics of them on the car? A 48 mm offset seems a little inboard to me for an 8" wheel.

    Blose improvement for cheap $

    I found it easier to just remove the sail panel between the doors and put the "cap" there, without having to remove the rear door parts at all. It's ultra easy to get in and out. Pull up the sill panels in each door opening then remove the sail panel. You can see the wiring right there.
