    What are you doing / did you do today / CHAT THREAD

    Sold the EM1 to hopefully to someone who will love it as much as I have for the last 16 years. For those that have ever had the pleasure to own this car, you know what I'm talking about. I babied the crap out of this car and sold it to a guy who was buying it for his 16 yr. old daughter (how...

    My balls are all like "clunkity chunk" -- need new ones, but which ones?

    What up fools!? Been away way too long, but that is what happens when you have kids, life gone!! I still have my 00' SI and the ball joints in my Omnipower (shows my age there right?) front control arms which are a spitting image of the skunk2 ones need replacing. I'm looking at either Buddy...

    How To: Install Skunk2 Shifter w/ Shift Bushings

    wow, that really sucks about the lack of customer support on their end. The whole point of a "bolt on" part is that you don't have to customize the parts to make them fit; making you find a peice to make it work. I'm glad you did end up finding something that would work though.

    How To: Install Skunk2 Shifter w/ Shift Bushings

    Sorry for the late reply, just have my computer rebuilt and just now getting back on here. Did you get any where with Chris at Skunk2? Those washers were definitely a tight fit but they did slide in with some pressure. I had to also email Skunk2 about it and when I showed them the pics, they...

    Short Throw Install

    Really?? So if I shift into 2nd, it doesn't actually shift into 2nd until the transmission decides to? Are we still talking about a manual transmission? I know that the synchros in a tranny are supposed to guide the transfer in gears and I totally get the whole crunching deal if you force-ably...

    Short Throw Install

    damn, 2 trannies...ever consider getting an automatic? ;) I'm still not going to buy into the argument that all short shifers will ruin a good tranny. A quality short shifter shouldn't. The only difference is the throw of the gears since the shifter ball shaft is higher on the shaft. So I can...

    Short Throw Install

    I've always taken any mod to make you go faster (shift faster in this case) with extreme scrutiny especially with out any numbers to back up such claims. The short shifter I have is made of steel with a weighted knob ; "Skunk2 Racing short shifters are constructed from high-strength alloy...

    resonator doesnt bolt on right to catback

    if there is enough clearance, you can try putting a spark plug fouler in the O2 sensor bung and then screw in the o2 sensor into the fouler. It basically extends the sensor away from the pipe. Sometimes you have to use 2 foulers, but then you have may have clearance issues. I did the one fouler...

    Radar tickets starting July,1st 2009

    mmm, wonder what kind of counter technology will come of this. License plate covers that either fog up or tint with a flip of a switch and a good clown mask?

    Nasty evil rattle at idle / low RPMs

    I too have the same issue. I have the DC header and a powercore high flow cat. I've had my honda mech. check for loose bolts and such without luck. The highflow cat. does have a little material inside unlike some of the straight pipes and I'm almost convinced that the insides have come loose and...

    How To: Install Skunk2 Shifter w/ Shift Bushings

    Mine doesn't rub, but but when I corner, something rubs/touches and I hear it vibrate against the underside. I've got an apexi world sport exhaust and was thinking of taking the car in to a muffler shop to have them fit it properly. I've heard great things about having a muffler shop weld some...
