    WWD's very unmodified 01 4DR DX

    Took the centers off Centers are going to get stripped and repainted, didn't plan on this but they're more beat up then I like. Then I took the hardware And tumbled it with walnut shell media in an ammo tumbler. Works great! This is after 3 hours, but I left them in there overnight...

    Step 1: clean up these filthy barrels. Poor things looked like they'd never been cleaned before. Now the bolts soak in pb blaster before I disassemble them tomorrow and get down to business. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

    Here's a teaser. They need some serious love, but I got them for a song so I figured what the hell :)

    Found some wheels I like. Having a friend pick them up next week and will hopefully have them in my hands next weekend. They need some refinishing but I think you guys will like them when I'm done with them!

    4 banger subframe

    I got a clean one on eBay from a guy down in Georgia shipped for under 200. He was selling a lot of parts like this. I'd look there. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

    how many MPG do you guys get?

    01 DX 5MT with 190k on it. Low of 25 MPG and high of almost 34. Average of just above 29 over 11,500 miles so far.

    Heavier coilover springs

    Most shocks valving is only good for a range of a few hundred pounds, example 400-800lb/in I don't know what rates the FF2's are valved for, but chances are 900lb/in(16k) is way too high for stock valving and the spring will end up less than optimally controlled.

    Hah! A 7 year build thread would take a lot of time to write out 360whp, 2128 lbs, and a scca prosolo national title to it's name, I think that sums it up nicely :)

    They're 13 lbs. Nice and light, less rotating mass. They don't draw attention Get to reuse my tires, because even though they suck from a handling standpoint, are cushy on the highway, and I already own them. more money for racecars. Car isn't being built to be some fresh looking machine or a...

    Heavier coilover springs

    If they're regular 2.5"springs, you can buy springs from hypercoil or eibach. Revalving shocks is going to depend on the manufacturer

    WWD's very unmodified 01 4DR DX

    Thanks guys. Wheels will probably come next. I'm not sure what I want to do, but it'll probably come down to either 14" rx7 gsl-se wheels(if I can find some) or some sort of 16 so I can put continental DW's on the car. If the motor ever takes a dump I'll build something a little hotter and throw...

    Put the 20mm TL 6 speed bar on the back of the car. Contrary to popular belief, I did not have to bend the exhaust hanger. Mmmm, greatly reduced inside wheel spin while turning and increased body control. Car feels much less like a yacht, although it is still some sort of smaller boat!

    No need for gas to learn! The MIG actually gets a lot of use with flux core as well as gas, flux makes dirty work(like rusty new england exhuasts) much easier. But it certainly is messier. Best way to start is take some scrap metal pieces and try to glue them together until you get the hang of...

    sway bars for my i4?

    To oversimplify a bit, the progress bar is going to be about 15% stiffer than the 23mm eibach. Maybe a bit more or less depending on which hole you use on the progress bar. This is probably not an increase in roll stiffness you are going to notice compared to the huge jump to either from a stock...

    Popping noise from front suspension, I'm completely stumped

    Just a thought, take a look at your rear subframe. Mine had rotted out under the AC vent near where the steering rack brace is and was causing a loud "clunk" over single wheel bumps.

    sway bars for my i4?

    My DX has the rear sway bar brackets, just to avoid any confusion. I wouldn't want to put a big front bar on a FWD.

    Thanks guys. I've never had a shop touch any of my cars and I intend to keep it that way! Got the airbags replaced last week under recall, and I found out my car had been to that dealership before, about 2 years ago while being owned by an auto auction company, who I assume bought it from the...

    Then, winter came. Winter has never been kind to me or my cars. First, I had the flex pipe blow out on me. No biggie, I'll just order another one. But wait... rummaging around in my glove box, I noticed a receipt for a flex pipe, dated just a few weeks before I bought the car. Hmmm, what do...

    Well, I guess I should start of explaining why I bought my sixth gen. I had been dailying my Z6 swapped ED sedan, which then spun a bearing at an autoX when I discovered my chipped ECU has no rev limiter. (8600 RPM on stock motor = bad!) Decided it was time to grow up a bit and get something...

    I'm back

    Holy crap! The engine bay sure looks a lot different than when I last saw your car! Hope you have been doing well out on the left coast buddy, congrats on the wife and kid(guess it's been a while since we talked). Funny what you find when you join a new forum. Now lets see how long it takes...
