Oh I'm not doubting it. Just trying to figure out any options now. I have a spare set of 6 bolt stock rods so maybe I'll tinker with some removal and install methods and see what happens.

I wonder then if I could make something that could press the bolt out and be less likely to deform anything. I certainly don't want to go to town hammering on it or anything.So how does this compare to using ARP main bolts then? You are supposed to line bore those as well. Is this mostly...

So I had a total brain fart and I picked up ARP rod bolts and was going to swap them in my 6-bolt bottom end while I had the pan off just to be safe since I'll be pushing the bottom end pretty hard. The head is still on it and I didn't have any plans to pull the head right now. I didn't think...

I've been seriously thinking about doing this. I haven't done research into the right size super though. It sounds like the M90 would be too large for the 2.0, is that right? This was my original thought just because it would be easy to find one and I can get it for about $200-$300. I'm...

Focus ZX3 AKA FrankenFocus (yes it will be green when I'm done). Doing 6 bolt and possibly 2.3 build with a 2g head and electronics. AWD with an 8.8 rear end and likely grab and IRS out of a t-bird or something with a similar width. Still need to research that part. I'm going for torque over...

Not "for" autocross but more for a general street build. But it will see the autocross courses just to go out and have fun. It is a car but not a mitsu. I want people to go "huh" when I open the hood. Hopefully it works out like I'm planning. I was thinking of starting a thread on here but...

That should work nicely. I'm getting ready to start building a 6 bolt here soon. Not a DSM but it will be 4G63 powered and AWD so it will be a fun toy.

*Previous Owner here*I'm sorry that the car had an issue. About a year prior, I had the o2 short out and it did some really weird stuff. Luckily I had the wideband in there so I could see that it was going really lean from time to time. Did you get any pictures of the engine damage? Just...

I talked to him again yesterday and he said he hasn't gotten time to add this to his website yet. I'm waiting to put this on until I can get a matched throttle body, plus putting an air conditioner in my garage has been more of a pritority at the moment.

I was looking at my intake and I notice I wasn't using some of the mounting tabs so I'm gonna give it back to him this weekend and have him shave off those too. Hope to have some intstalled pics early next week.

Sorry, my bad. If he gets some business through this place I'm sure I could get him to become a supporting vender. He mostly does stuff with bikes, but is wanting to branch off into cars as well. If anyone wants the info, let me know and I'll send it to you. I'm working with him to come up...

Website is up now. Check the top post for details.

Nothing more than appearance at the moment. I was talking to him about porting and whatnot, but he doesn't have any major tooling for anything else. I gave him a list of items he needs to work on so I can have a matched set but since I don't have any extra parts he will have to source some...

Hey, I just wanted to let eveyone know what I picked up from a local guy. He shaved and painted two of my intakes. I have one up for sale in the classifieds and here are pics of the other one which I'm keeping for my car. He doesn't have a site up yet, but is looking to have it up in a couple...

Did you manage to make it read right? I am having the same issue and I would like to be able to tune this weekend.
