Kind of, but I mean the ghetto way, haha, I'm poor. I mean either just taking off the panel, or painting the existing panel black, not actually getting the EDM piece.

Removing rear panel?

I don't know what else to call it, the panel between the tail lights. I don't really like it, and I saw this on rsliberty club http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a249/Rayzens/New%20Libs/28082008014.jpg Can you do that with the US spec car? anyone have any better pictures of it, it's hard to see how i...

I was thinking about building a little box for my trunk in the BMW, but I never did, just something sectioned out across the back a few inches high with an open top.

Right now I just have everything placed so that all the stuff holds the other stuff in place

we have an 05 STI, the modded leg turbo, and a now 07 WRX swapped RS ( with more power than the STI). each car drives differently. The Legacy is more raw, with good torque but not much on the top end. The STI pulls all the way. It is much easier to get the STI out of control than the legacy. But pa...

Hate to tell you, but I don't think there is any hp gain from hacking off the bottom. By doing that you're still getting air from the same size hole, but also warm air from the engine. It would be best to leave it sealed and match the size of the opening in the fender. Though if you like the sound I...

Wiring up a turbo timer?

I searched but didn't find anything that really helped. My friend gave me a turbo timer/boost controller/gauge, and I want to wire up the timer, I know it's not necessary, but it was free, and seems like it would be nice to have just as a precaution. Problem is all I have is the box with two sets of...

My car came with a booklet, presumably from the dealership, of like 4 articles on the car, I'll see if I can scan them when I get back to school. In the meantime, since this thread is a year old anyway, here's an article I got from a VR4 guy on bimmerforums http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/359/414...

Aircraft landing lights?

Anyone wire up aircraft landing lights as rally lights? Someone was gonna try it on an e30, but I don't think it ever panned out. I know they're 13v, but that shouldn't be that big of a deal. You can buy 4 of them off ebay for $25, and of course you'd have to fab up some sort of housing for them. Th...

Don't have the money to maintain it either! Those things can be killer. Never driven one, but I hear they're great to drive, my dad's 528i handled like a compact, and was still decently quick, despite the lack of power for it's weight.

I just don't like the idea of paying $500 or so to replace the clutch on a car I just bought. But oh well, that's one of those things that once it's done, it's done, and I won't have to do it again.

What do you mean "stopped going"? If it revs without accelerating when you add torque in higher gears, that points to the clutch wearing out. Usually transmissions make bad noises when they go bad. Stopped going=ignition cut out I took it to the shop I always went to with the BMW when I n...

Awesome! Both of those places are pretty close. I keep forgetting how popular Subarus are in Washington, so that makes sense.

I've been looking around on here for a couple days, looks like a great place. I'll probably be around for a while :-D My old BMW 325i was pretty bad in the snow, and over in Pullman, it snows a lot, and I like to ski, so this works out perfect for me. Just picked up a '91 Turbo earlier today, it's g...
