    have you ever looked into any of the adhesives they use in autobody. 3m, lord fusor, evercoat and valvoline all make really good products. probly the best would be the evercoat since that one dont take a special gun, just a typical calking gun is all you need.

    I meant injector wires... I got it fixed and its running great. It has a bored TB and I am gonna replace it with a stock z6 one cuz the bored one sticks. I also need to wire vtec. should be done in 15-20 min. Car feels snappy w/o vtec. we'll see what it does once its wired.

    Thanks for all the replies. I have already checked up clubrsx.com and posted the same questions. They said all their trannys burned out after a few months even guys who cryoed their trannys. however a lot of them said their tranny was still working fine. I personally think it depends on how you run the car on a daily basis. Its a tough decision on what i want to do. I would like to turbo, but for all the power i want, i would be spending a lot of money. Supercharger is more daily driving friendly and a lot cheaper, but my power hungry young whipper snapper attitude wants to go big or go home. ITs tough to decide what i want to do. I am still thinking about that CAI Ryan. Nick how long you been driving the gsr with that much power? how many miles as well?

The reason why people modified their cars is to increase horsepower...if whatever you said is true...you lost 40 hp and 16 ft-lb of torque...? we are talking whp, not bhp...

    Is it an electrical problem when only the park, neutral, and reverse on your electrical panel light up when you are in them. Drive 4, 3 and 2nd don't light up at all when you are in them and driving. -Mel-

    Youre looking at about $25-$35 a rotor plus labor. I usually charge $35 an hour on the side at home. Wont take long at all. Depending on what you want, Ill do them for $80 with parts (just $30 labor), $100 for a better "premium" rotor, which you probably dont really need to worry about getting. Or you can just get them yourself and have someone on here do them for you. Just let us know. Ry

    Best bet is to call around or bring it if you can to some of the local body shops. I had a quote once of $200 to repair and color match a rear bumper. The fun part of installing a body kit is the cost to have it painted, usually the same price per part, if not more. Ry
