Good luck Alex!

There is nothing wrong with a little turbo...

It makes things more interesting.

masagsxr · 10-16-2009, 12:34 PM

o6spdracer · 10-16-2009, 12:42 PM

Cjung · 11-20-2009, 01:12 AM

v6 r nice. I think the 1mz would be perfect for the mk1. you dont need high hp and its lightweight.

Someone needs to decide which chat thread to continue and which to drop.

Has anyone used Megan gauges? I can't find any reviews. I have very little room in my budget so I need to get inexpensive gauges. I'd love to get greddys but those suckers are like 200 a piece.

What about STRI gauges?

Cjung · 04-29-2010, 11:46 PM

Anyone know what is the smallest projectors for headlights? I dont want ebay crap so maybe OEM stuff from any company. 35mm would be perfect, but if they dont have that size maybe 40mm.

I been looking for abit, and I have found that for those sizes I can only find foglight projectors. Fog light and headlight is quite different. Headlight projectors have a cut off so the light beam doesnt go too high, whereas the fog light projectors dont have any. I dont want to come off as the "Ahole who drives around blinding everyone on the road."

Maybe this post deserves a new thread, but I am still looking around.

datguydeni · 04-30-2010, 06:51 AM

if you don't want to go projectors you can always go autopals that are e-code not diamond cut. Heard these worked well with the mr2 and have a cut line.. They won't hurt the wallet, but still quality easily attainable from an ebay dealer.

Cjung · 04-30-2010, 05:42 PM

Now that i think about it, i dont want to go projectors. They are too much work for me. I think imma at least try to fit a 550 fog light as headlight n try to make it have a cut off line with HIDs

masagsxr · 05-01-2010, 01:13 AM

Stop bumping this thread Christion... You've been warned or else

randomxzero · 05-01-2010, 01:20 AM

Cjung · 05-01-2010, 02:13 AM

OMG i want free tacos.

hahaha

I thought this thread was to have 2 topics at once?
