    Advice on where to have repairs done?

    So I was installing a spin on oil conversion kit when one of the 4 bolts that hold the oil filter assembly to the motor broke in half. There is about 1cm sticking out but I was unable to drill it out so I need to take it somewhere. Maybe they can carefully weld a nut on the end of it or manage...

    CPE FMIC installation trouble. Help me get this done today please !!

    I haven't installed anything yet. Just took bumper / TMIC off. This is th 1st pipe... The instructions state to "install" the pipe with the bov flange on it, with the expanded (longer) side facing the throttle body. That makes sense. My question is how do you attatch that pipe to the throttle...

    Tinting windshield

    Pretty sure I read this somewhere. Is this possible? I know it would most likely be illegal but maybe 5% tint. My car is black on black and even with the A/C on max the florida sun is lethal. My windows are pretty dark but the windshield allows so much sun in. It seems like even a slight tint...

    Corksport DP question

    Im getting a DP and im battling between the CS and the CPE. I always associate CPE with the highest quality parts for our car but also the highest price. I do know that corksport makes great products though. And a good product for under 400 bucks is a good deal to me. Im leaning towards the CS...

    Forgive my ignorance please :). Was browsing skyline / supra engines. You can buy one of these things basically new for under 5 grand.
