There is a member on this board with that kit (his name is quwees99). Try PM'ing him and see what he can tell you.

What do you mean your car is "idling like it has cams"?? I should hope your car has cams. Can you expand on your problem with more details.

If you did want to do it...all the money for the mag wouldn't be from subscriptions alone. You could sell space for advertisements (they may be annoying but that is what will finance the mag). Just an idea.

Did you get the tensioner replaced as well? It's a good habit to replace that as well when you have a timing belt job done. Does it only run rough during idle or is it all the time? If it is all the time then it most likely is a timing problem. If it's just a rough idle it could be many things.

In my opinion, synthetic oil is a waste of money. For the cost of a synthetic oil change every 2500 miles you could change your oil with regular API approved oil almost every week.

Sounds like "turbo lag" to me and you can't get away from that.

Just think about sunny days...gloss would increase glare off the dash (probably would get annoying after a while).

I think www.decah.net is supposed to be bringing them to eclipses sometime. Check that site for info.

Each material has its +'s and -'s. Urethane is durable and will resist cracking but painting it will be expensive because the paint has to be able to flex. Even though the actual bumper will be durable sometimes the paint will still "spiderweb" (the actual paint cracks not the bumper). Also...

http://66.118.73.78/Howell/ also has bottom and top end rebuild kits to help the engine better handle the boost.

The turbo wings are bad ass...keep it.

If you lower compression you'll never make 200hp. The only reason you would lower compression on an NT motor is to turbo it eventually..in which case don't waste money on a header. You will get power from increasing compression if you are going to stay all motor.

I think the chrome altezzas look better on a lighter colored car (white, silver, etc etc) and the carbon fiber altezzas look better on a darker car.

I personally like 18's as well but since the rim you want is only offered up to 17...18 would be out of the question. You'll probably like the look of 17's better than your 15's. You'll just have to be more aware of what you drive over depending on the profile tire that you get too...

What kind of work was done? For that much you could've learned how to do it yourself, did it yourself, and saved at least 2500+

about 3 - 5 whp max definitely not a huge increase

Don't forget about an underdrive pulley

Get a compression test done by someone you trust to see if your head gasket really is bad. It's not expensive. If two cylinders next to each other come back with low compression it most likely will be a blown head gasket. Based on the results you'll be able to tell if Satan was just trying to...

If you plan on turbo in the future...save your money. If you buy a header now you'll just have to yank it off once you get a turbo kit to put on the exhaust manifold for the turbo kit (just something to think about).

If you turbo first then rebuild, just be careful. I've heard good and bad (unfortunately more bad than good) about running turbo on stock internals. You may want to think about rebuild first (just to be safe ya' know). Good luck either way.

RACER-X I believe that the Howell is just the block (not positive though)

A cam gear will rotate your cam shaft that will open and close your intake and exhaust valves (allowing your engine to "breathe"). Just be careful if you are going to mess with them because if you screw up your timing you will screw up your engine.
