Not only is the idle rough as hell from the misfire, but it jumps back and forth from 500-1500. The idle doesn't jump around a lot, only every now and then (like on ...

Just to understand this correctly, are you using the fiberglass for the whole lens? Or is it a cover over the original lens?? :D i also plan to add a D2S conversion to the mix when the money is right :D

Re: how would you make a mold of headlight lense?

Originally posted by aaron bales: another way is to get plaster of paris, mix some up in a tub (something you don't want to keep clean), then push the lense down into it, far enough to get the entire piece, but not too far or the lense will be stuck to it. Be sure to use some sort of release compou...

Re: noise after coilover install?

ok a couple of things. first of all, i highly doubt any coilovers for the mx-3 use a progressive spring, i know for sure ground controls don't. i also think that the "coil binding" theory doesnt answer with coilovers because i cannot imagine for the life of me how a spring as stiff as they...
