I need advice on whether you all think this is a good buy. I personally dont think it's worth that much, but the seller wont budge. I'm sorta kinda considering offering him what he wants, but I'm unsure at this stage. Is there anything special about this particular model that should sway my vote? I'...

AWESOME. Good choice in cars. That article is such crap :roll: The cars were overboosting because of a fault, which could have compromised the integrity of the engine. Ford fixed the fault, and people are angry about it :roll: It's not like FoMoCo sits there thinking 'what sneaky thing can we do nex...

Saw this today :o

Obviously you wouldn't run off the ports, but I was making a point. I have a feeling you're not quite as smart as you think you are.

:o Easy, mate. Besides which, an exhaust doesnt make that much difference, Gutter rat.

In fact, it will feel quite nice and revvy, just wont have the normal low down power that you'...

I made my own for my sigma, out of about $20 worth of plumbing and engineering parts. They're pretty simple, turn the knob to increase boost (requires more boost to move the ball bearing and allow air to flow)

Good quality billet spacers will last a lifetime with no problems.

Nope, but they will be introducing laws that say it needs to be wired through a switch on the handbrake, or a switch when in gear, which is really the way it should be.

If you've got a show car, you've already put A LOT of money into it, and you'd be better off going for a good set of adjustable coil overs or air-bags.

That would be incredibly uncomfortable on the rebound. It would definately not be legal.

Also RMS is a reasonable way to distinguish the power of a speaker when you have nothing else to really go by A speaker's wattage rating has nothing to do with the 'power of the speaker', but the power handling. Why is this important? It generally isnt, especially when you're not taking into accoun...
