Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
Nice top mounts!
Brake fluid is low.

Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
Gotcha....I'm gonna take a look at mine in a bit. I think I'll be doing that.
So any benefits? I know you said better flow and more get-up, but could you explain?

Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
Thanks. 2007 STI coilovers. Ill do a writeup on them soon. Its really just a few hour procedure. I dont know why people spend such big bucks on custom coilovers for the svx when all you have to do is drill 3 holes on the top mounts.
heh, I suppose its time to get new pads on the brakes! Thats would bring it right back up Quote:
It would be like you running at a full sprint, then suddenly realizing that you missed the door you need to take to exit. So you slam on the brakes, take and about face and exit. The inline filter allows for a better flow path. In the top, filter media, then out the bottom. Just like sprinting, taking a step to the left and continuing onward. I have no proof of performance gains, but my butt dyno notices that the car just feels more.. Peppy. Seems like she has better throttle response. When i stomp on the throttle, its instant vroom. No hesitation. |

Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
That coil config is just nuts. I gotta do that while I'm contemplating the tranny fix.
Thanks for the big idea.

The main point of contention for the front struts is the bracket that attaches to the endlinks for the front swaybar. How'd you solve that problem?

Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
So did you already put that ^ bar on there, or is that just the plan? That looks like just the thing I've been wanting. Where do you mount it though?

Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
Thats the plan. When the car progresses further and I can get an accurate weight balance measurement, then I can get the proper calculations for length and diameter and get to fabricating. If all goes according to plan *never does* It will mount in place of the stock swaybar. As for mounts to the suspension it just welding on some tabs. Ill be fabricating tubular suspension components once I have the time to make a jig. I may offer them for sale in stock SVX mounting or STI conversion configuration.
Gawds.. Not like im helping here, but this tread is getting way off course |

Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
A little off course is pretty much the norm here.
What I've heard is that you can't mount a straight swaybar where the stock swaybar goes; the stock one is bent to get around/through the subframe without touching it. That makes things more difficult. I'd buy a front swaybar, even if it's just a one-off. It would go well with the giant one I have in the rear.

Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
I still have the oem front swaybar. Im looking at it right now. Ill post up a picture tomorrow as its getting too late now, but its a really minor bend of 1/2". Otherwise its dang near just a strait bar. o.O

Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
I have never had the opportunity to check it out myself. If you could get a straight bar through there, that would be great.

Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
*chuckles* What passes for a front swaybar on these cars.
Pretty much just a strait shot. |

Re: $36 Replacement ignition coils?
Hmm. I imagined it would be more bent than that. Still, might it be enough that it will mean a straight bar will rub against the subframe if one does fit?
