rememeber than a turbo is called forced induction for a reason, and even with a smaller inlet valve - will flow more through into the cylinder. Im thinking it might have something to do with improving the top end of the rev range for the turbo (less mass so less chance of valve skipping), whereas a ...

visegrips can also function as a second pair of hands.

Another thing to watch - is (not sure bout you twin-cam guys) but on the quad cams, one of the cams is sitting on the tip of the cam lobe, so if you move the cam slightly - Ziiiiiing and there goes some skin.

despite what they say - when you putting that bolt back on - do it up REALLY tight with some locktite you do NOT want that sunnavabitch coming loose.

for a start - the clutches are different. (Well in new Zealand, with JDM and a few NZ new models) The turbos have a hydralic clutch, wheras NA's have a cable. Different Diff ratio's Most of the NA's have a 3.9 (i think - either that or 3.7 - cant remember which), and the turbos (5mt) have a 4.11, an...

The BG Legacy skirts fit as well - just 1/2" too short. You cant notice it from a distance, only if you get close.

I need to get the BG Mudguards - there made to fit over it.

You bastards. The JDM Legs are limited to 180kmh (110mph). I can hit that in 4th&5th in my N/A with a 3.90 diff. (4th - its a race between the revlimiter and the speed limiter - however im not really into doing that coz not too keen on high revs for long time).

that wouldnt provide much, if any downforce. if anything - that would help to lift the back end.

the only real reason that would be on would be to keep the back window clear. some isuzu irmishers come with those factory

seperating the Lense from the backing is quite a mission - especially if you plan on keeping each half intact.

once you got them apart - and found which leds need replacing - then you have to work out how bright the replacement leds need to be. so yea. easier to buy ar replacment LED light.
