Re: PRM intake qstn

Based on some previous posts and topics in relation to the subject, the Hp increase is around 4 and because of the colder air, you get one heck of a growl from your engine especially on cold mornings.

CV Joints ... polling question

I recently replaced both CV joints and noted that each came from different manufacturers and different part suppliers. other than an increase in torque and the elimination of that damn, embarassing rattling noise ... I did not notice a difference.<P>My question is: Is a CV a CV? or are there CV's th...

Re: Coolant Resevoir

juiceDessert: That's what my mechanic estimated. The key thing is that he's a good friend of mine & I helped out with the labour to cut the costs down. <P>Jimmy: interesting point. So far changing the head gaskets did the job, but will be keeping my eye on it. Thanks.

Re: RPM's

I'm very happy at 4000. I find anything below that the car is sluggish. Let's not forget that this is a sports car. You want milage, buy a Protege! :D
