I agree with gro harlem. That setup is probably one of the better ones I have seen with out spending a gross amound of money. Also, kudos to working the suspension before the motor. It's funny as shizzle when you see a car with a good amount of motor work get smoked because they can't even control t...

I have a 95 rs and had similar issues when i installed my short shifter. First it was way too loose... every gear felt like neutral (thank you ebay :x ) so I put in a couple washers where the bottom of the shifter met the linkage. Apparantly I tightened it a little too much because it was too hard t...

What I will be doing and found several other people doing is just simply cappin off the bung for the egr tube on the heade...

yeah... thats the one. just get an exhaust manifold gasket for your car and hold it against that header. you will see that there are two holes you will need to drill, and the inside of the 2nd and 3rd ports will need to be bored just a little bit. if you need an example i have a bookmark from a guy ...

What NOS do people here favor?

Just curious about what Nitrous Oxide setups people here favor. I'm probably going to go with a wet shot around 50 or so. Does anyone have a favorite brand? Price definatly being a factor.

in my experience a header on a slightly modified 4 cyl is a good performance adder. as long as the exhaust piping isnt good big and kills back pressure, the turbulence reduction from a header is huge. i have seen gains across the board in quite a few vehicles. grey-mx3: personally i dont like the he...

the bp is a good swap, ill give it that. but my issue is that at least for now this is my only car. i cant do a motor swap and have it non driveable for so long. my other issue is dealing with vac lines crossed and wiring issues, so my plan is to use the block i have and pretty much convert it to th...

Hey, guys. Can't find much help on the search for this. I got a 95 rs with the stock dohc and want to know what intake manifolds bolt on. im thinkin the protege might be good cause I want to get a bigger throttle body as well (start bigger to bore bigger). will that manifold directly bolt on? I'm un...

i did mine with a high temp engine paint as well, but i reccomend using one with the ceramics in it. duplicolor makes them and their really inexpensive at autozone. i used the same paint on my interior as well, because the ceramic is really tough and i didnt want a regular paint to bubble or crack i...

a personal preference of mine on painting parts is the ceramic engine paints. duplicolor makes an awesome line of them and i have worked with them a lot. just make sure you wash then scuff up the area first before primer (use ceramic primer too). i used it on some of my interior pieces as well. toug...

i like the rs model. yeah the gs has the disc breaks in the rear, a factory spoiler, etc. but it also comes stock with the smallest v-6 ever made. but my true reason is i am a 4-banger fan at heart.

ps-my rs has a sunroof too
