Actually, the bracket in the pics didn't work out - one of the mounting tabs was too short, and the whole assembly was too flexible, making aiming very difficult. I have gone through two other designs since, with the first one being not bad, but my plastics guys screwed up the prototype (a couple of...

That is about right. I might do full kits as well, but I foresee the bulk of the sales being just the mounting brackets and outer housings. They will fit any of the single-beam, Hella 90mm headlights (I.E. H7 or H9 halogens or D2S xenon's, but NOT the bi-xenon's). I am still trying to work on pricin...

I should have some news on this after this weekend. Stay tuned!

Progressive springs simply have a different spring rate throughout their travel - this change in rate is achieved either through winding the spring with the coils closer together throughout a portion of their length , or as Pat said above, using tapered wire, though the first method is more common....

or just properly aim the lights!! if you aim the lights to compensate for the flare on the left side you wont have any problems trust me i drive with a screwed up aiming bracket on my drivers side and just compensated withe the right headlight it's all in the aiming That is incorrect with regards t...

Eibachs are not progrssie rate springs. Actually, that's incorrect for both the Eibach Pro-Kit and Sportline springs - according to Eibach's website and every set of Eibach springs I have ever seen, they are both progressive designs. You may be thinking of the Eibach ERS or ERD springs, which are t...

There are some who prefer the Flowmaster or other chambered mufflers/silencers because they are a bit quieter, but for performance you will want to go with a "straight-through" design, that has a perforated (not louvered) core. To make that type of muffler/silencer as quiet as possible, yo...

I should also note that the MX-3's shorter wheel/tire combo will also increase the torque it puts down to the ground vs. the Probe by approximately the same amount (around 4%) due to the shorter wheel/tire combo effectively giving the MX-3 shorter gearing. When you combine the fact that the MX-3 is ...

Here's how it works: Your engine turns at a certain speed, for this example, we'll say it is turning at 7,000 rpm. The Probe GT and the MX-3 GS both have a 4.39:1 ring & pinion, and a 0.80:1 fifth gear ratio. You would then multiply both numbers together, and then divide your engine RPM by the r...

Nd4SpdSe wrote:Same power, same gear ratio, they would both be just as fast and max out at ~240km/h, but the Mx-3 would accelerate faster because it's lighter.

Actually, the Probe would have a slightly higher theoretical top speed because of its slightly taller stock wheel/tire combo...

One other thing to consider: If the lights are coming from the UK, their cutoff pattern will be the reverse of what ours needs to be, I.E. the upwards flare of the beam will be on the left side not the right side, because in the UK they drive on the left side of the road and their cars are right-han...

The European spec glass headlights are perfectly legal in Canada, as our headlights may/must comply with either ECE (European) or DOT (American) standards. In the US, though, you guys aren't so lucky - only DOT lights are legal. The main issue with the Euro lights is cost - once you add up what it w...

One other thing to note - to retract the pistons on the rear calipers, don't try to just push them in. They turn (I.E. "screw") into the caliper body. You'll see that the piston surface has a sort of hourglass-shaped raised part. There is a special tool you can get, but I just used my need...

Stock offset is 45mm. The closest you can get in a 7" wide aftermarket wheel is 42 or 43mm, which some Enkei's and a couple of other Japanese-made wheels have, but those will almost certainly rub with a 215mm wide tire. Most of the common fitments for our cars use either 38mm, 37mm or 35mm offs...

225/45R-16's will fit with the correct offset. Vaughn Nishimura used to run them on MOMO Arrows (35mm offset, I think) until he switched to 17's. Not much tire selection in that size, though...
