    Who's rocking a CF trunk, and how do you open it?

    Even without a wing my car had the same issue so I put the wing back on. I decided to get the same struts used for my hood. I used Tein struts and think it's one of the better features of my car haha. The way that the arms curve up on the trunk allow for a great deal of real estate to bolt the...

    what happens when coolant boils?

    One thing unless I missed it needs to be mentioned. One of the ways the coolant creates a higher boiling point is pressure. It's like in a pressure cooker the temperature can get higher that 212 degrees for pressure. Same principal for the car...the system is pressurized to prevent boiling...

    1/4 ad 1/8 Mile Questions

    One piece of advice I got from Adam at LIC motorsports. Never launch with passengers in the back. Don't lower the car to where the axles aren't in line horizontally. I find this out after popping the bearing cage on the left rear of my 04 STI. After that make sure you use the clutch to get off...

    VIDEO hosting.

    I don't have cable. I watch Netflix or HULU pretty much exclusively on the xbox on my tv. Next to it is my Mac and I watch car videos while letting the xbox run either Top Gear UK, Supernatural, Ghost Adventures or old Kung Fu crap. I 'm looking to see this site to have channels independently...

    VIDEO hosting.

    I completely looked over it. There's one issue. It's not prominent enough. Ya know each site pretty well has it's niche. I believe that IGOTASTI could really have something if the videos were to be set up like channels. You first need to bump up the video section to possibly above the general...

    VIDEO hosting.

    I'm looking for a dedicated section for Videos. How-to, diagnostic, opinion polls, videos for after meets. Videos to promote photography or films. For instance if someone has a problem with a certain sound they can post a vid and someone can diagnose better than them typing their opinions on the...

    Low Fuel Tank = Lean?

    It won't create a lean enough condition long enough for you to hurt anything.

    Airplane using the EJ25

    Sean at Vigilant motorsports in Collinsville Illinois does these too. The sustainable power he gets from the h6 is astounding. I've got one of his engines in my car. EJ257 block with 2.0 heads with 3 angle etc. CP pistons and the lot. He sells engines through Importimageracing.com

    slotted or drilled

    I got 30k miles on my c-quence slotted AND drilled. Medium duty ceramic pads. Word of caution is knowing what you'll use them for. Plus I tend to swap pads if I know I'm going to a PDX. May sound retarded but the pads will determine life of the rotor and pads meet the situation is better than...

    06 sti popping noise under WOT. help troubleshooting

    I've got to add a bit of gee whiz info here. Did you know that the boot on the cv joint will keep the axle aligned in a great deal of cases masking a joint issue? Quick story, my wife's Saab 92x Aero had a ripped boot but was intact. Eventually a rock got in there and fudged a few things up and...

    STI vs EVO?

    I know I'm a new guy on here but as a 12 year Air Force cop hence the name Airpig. I'm not your keeper and won't harp on it after this but money is hard to come by. Please don't blow your money on cars or bikes after you're back. Be smart, cars are money pits. Invest in some precious metals or...
