Re: coper intercooler pipes?

are you talking about using a big copper pipe AS an intercooler? if you are an intercooler would work much better. the more surface area the better the cooling. if you've ever taken those little fins out of an intercooler or radiator you will realize that there is ALOT of surface area there. my sugg...

Re: help on tires

offset is where the center of your rim is sitting(where you connect the wheel to the hub). some wheels will have it centered in the middle of the rim and others will have it off to one side of the rim, this determines the amount of offset. i don't know what offset our cars are supposed to have but i...

Re: Electric Turbo?

there are supposed to be some really expensive ones >$300 that might work. supposedly a guy on the escort message board saw one of these turned on when it wasn't connected to an engine and it could hover or something. those ones might help but probably not too much.<p>i think the sight was electrics...

Re: exterior parts i need

already have a guy willing to sell the rear bumper for $100 US. if i was to get it from you it would have to be for quite a bit less since shipping will probably be expensive crossing the border. give me a price if you are willing to go under $100 US.<p>[ March 08, 2003: Message edited by: ryanlinde...

Re: Coilovers DIDN'T WORK... PLEASE HELP. (protege)

you probably didn't get the coils off of an escort gt. they probably came from the base or lx model. i think the gt's are the only ones that fit. probably better that the springs didn't fit because if they aren't off the gt they are probably worse than the ones on your car right now.
