Hey guys,Changing the pads and noticed the shims and caliper bolt/pins look a bit shot. Planning to replace them and am wondering if there's any difference between Pep Boys ones or BrakeBest, Wagner, and Beck/Arnley ones?Thanks! Luke

everything was finally good (except for the odd rattle...) w/my DSM for the past few months and now the car's acting up again :nono:I notice that whenever I cruise above 70mph, the O2 sensor will go dead (hold at 0.15V or so) and the car would buck/misfire. Pulled the CELs and they were...

Yes I'm still using an S-AFC (II) LOLI've noticed that recently, especially if it's rainy, my S-AFC will turn off randomly. Sometime it's just the screen that's off and the knob light is still on (which case it seems like it's still working as my A/F isn't reading pig rich), but at other...

Been a while since I've worked on DSMs, but my alternator belt has been shredding lately (after blowing the alternator fuse a couple of times...). Upon inspection, the belt is definitely experiencing a ridiculous amount of deflection. Looks like the outer water pump pulley might be on...

I'm stumped. Can the connectors to the alternator ground not touch the alternator housing itself?My alternator fuse blew today as I was driving, so I pulled over, disconnected the battery, and replaced the fuse. It sparked really bad as I reconnected the battery ground and blew the new...

I was driving on the highway doing 80 or 90 when my car shut off. Not worrying too much about it, I turned my car back on thinking it might've been the battery again. Then I noticed that my temp gauge was at MAX, and suddenly white smoke started coming out of the engine bay and I was losing a...

I'm in need of some new brake pads, so I'm trying to find a pair that is the best balance between low noise/dust and big stopping power/heat resistance. My car is mostly a daily but I have plans for autocross/track once it warms up. I've been looking at Axxis Ultimate Ceramic, Akebono ProACT...

So it's out! Nothing exciting though: semi-lip, standard aluminum roof, HID's.

Got some halo projector headlights. http://www.vertexracing.com/images/products/ecp95-jm.jpgWe wired the halos into the turn signals in the headlights. Now my left blinker is the ultrafast ricer blink while the right one is normal. Any ideas?

Wonder if anyone knows the voltage signal correlation to the A/F ratio on the stock O2 sensor. I know it's not very accurate as the correlation isn't linear, but it's still good enough for a rough conversion right? Want to setup my A'PEXi AutoTimer so that the A/F ratio actually has meaning. :)

Installed the Evo fuel pump and 550 injectors. Using S-AFC II to tune. At cold startup, the car will stutter a little. Is it just because of the bigger injectors or is it something w/the fuel pressure (leaky injector seal or something w/the fuel pump)?

I was wondering about the brightness & viewing angle of these projectors. I'm guessing they're brighter than the OEM lights but do they light up a wider area? Don't want to downgrade while upgradingThanks!

Hey all,I have a little leak by the turbo oil return line. I'm wondering whether it's affecting my oil pressure. You 2g guys, does your stock gauge read like 1/4 (middle of the lower 1/2) at idle and dead middle with throttle?Thanks!
