    5vzfe JDM motor full of water

    Just checked this thread again - thought it might be good to bump it as well. Glad to hear it all worked out in the end. And yes I have had to file chargeback claims as well in the past.

    eBay uniball control arms?

    Interesting news, I just read a post on FB about the Ebay arms for the 3rd gen and the guy reports that they have changed the setup on the uniball arms so that the adapters look like the ICON arms... Hmm, wonder if the 4th gen runner arms will look like that when they get new stock...

    Air bag disassembly

    I've spliced airbag wires with no issue - if you'd like to just change the charge unit, you can do that too as long as the bolt pattern is right.

    Which TransGo Shift Kit? SK-340 or 340-HD2

    You need the HD2, if you read the description on their site the "SK" version is only to "fix" some known issues with some versions of the trannys. I bought the HD2 and have yet to install it.

    Addco Sway Bars: reviews please

    I think maybe the guys who say it won't make a difference have not tried aftermarket sway bars and do not realize the dramatic improvement they can make - adduce is a quality company that has been around forever and a day. IF they are having trouble supplying product nowadays that is not a good...

    eBay uniball control arms?

    Right in line with what I found, although my grease fittings were fine. Mine are 3rd gen so I bought the All-pro slugs and I got rid of the insert for the 1/2" bolt and used super beefy grade 8 3/4" bolts. My bushing sleeves were a tad too long actually so I had to grind those. Also had to...

    eBay uniball control arms?

    I suspect the story is more like this: One of the companies that make them (Total chaos, all-pro etc.) is having or HAD them made in china - then the china factory ripped them off - this happens all the time, they make 80% for the actual company and sell the rest on eBay. I bet they had the...

    Blown Engine, Worth putting in a new one?

    One HUGE issue is that the market is currently flooded with "tsunami" engines (pun intended) and the other is that they all lie about mileage. There are some good importers but lots are crooks - my experiences are that they will give you every excuse under the sun to get out of giving you...

    To supercharge or not to supercharge

    The FI/C if done correctly works just as intended - they are all band aids and if you've tried to daily your EMS equipped vehicles (which I have) you'll most likely rather have a piggyback.

    To supercharge or not to supercharge

    Ok, sorry I was late replying. I want to start off by saying I was a big fan of URD after reading all the people talking about them and reading Gadget's seemingly cool posts. The URD 7th injector kit is a great BAND-AID. It's about as good a band aid as the S/C itself - so you can take that...

    To supercharge or not to supercharge

    I'd do it again but I would avoid URD at all costs. Call and talk to Gadget and you'll see wha I mean. I'm ripping their garbage 7th injector kit off and going with a proper solution, AEM FIC and larger injectors.

    Boss Coilovers Leaking, Replace with 5100???

    This is one reason why I always buy bilstein if it is available for the model of vehicle I have. In over 20 years of modding cars, I have yet to have a bilstein fail. As far as your question, could you provide some info on your boss coilover springs? What is the diameter and length.
