urbanamoker1 looks like you smoke too much bud and lack common sense but hey do what you want your money your ride. like i said all us seasoned dsm guys are just idiots to you so much smarter generation.

ok so is 60 pounds worth 600 bucks to you. how about spend that 600 on a payment for a larger turbo like an HTA 76, or FP red with the HTA 76 billet wheel, or dsmlink v3, wide band and injectors. damn newbies. ignorant till the end.you get this guy to light and he's gonna have traction...

so your saying that if i bought a tensioner 5k ago and went to change out a few thing I should just throw away a GOOD 75 dollar part because I was to ignorant to test and inspect it for proper service. a hydrolic tensioner isnt like a felpro throttle body gasket. it can be reused. if this is...

welp first things first need to get yourself a chiltons, or a hynes service manual. doing a timing belt is fairly simple. at first confusing but you'll get the hang of it. a good idea is buy the cam lock tool that locks the cams in place and the tensioner tool. both good investment that makes...

there are a few things that you can skimp on if your careful and know what your doing. I.E the idler pulley and hydrolic tenssioner. if the engine has ever been rebuilt it probably has had these parts replaced. HOWEVER... ignorance is not a replacement for quality. you need to be able to remove...

First of all DO NOT remove the rear strut brace unless you can fabricate or purchase a replacement. However with a 10 point cage you can probably get away with removing it without too much body roll.also if your going for extreme weight savings think about removing the door inner panels...
