nah my front bumper is slightly off too. I'm assuming they paint the car without the bumpers so as to get underneath (ie radiator support, rear bumper support, etc.)

^my front bumper is spot on, hmm. I know this doesn't really pertain to stock g's but, how are people attacting Cali's fender flares? Do you need the oem rubber gasket for the flares to work right? What about molding tape, you think that will hold them down and stay on?

My bumpers are the same color... For now. Both need to be replaced, but i can't afford JDM :(

I need to focus on performance stuff. My last track day showed me that.

being a complete noob here would this give us any gains?

I think they are higher flow rate for boosted engines. Correct me if I'm wrong.

yep they are for forced induction... I just can't remember if these are the correct wrx injectors... they are dark blue, but to me thats blue not dark blue...

Uhh the dark blues are 440cc and the pinktops are 560cc. Both top feeds. I would stick with what has been proven

those look exactly like the ones i have that are rated 565cc/min they are plug n play and high impeadence but unless your boosted its kinda pointless and if you are then you might run into the same problem i am....theyre waaay small i hit fuel cut almost right away.

look around though i got those same injectors for 90$ in like new condition.

the pinks are rated like that. If you are hitting the fuel cut at 20psi then you have to be running the 440cc. considering stock evo injectors at 560cc can run 23psi max. Either that or your tune needs alot of work

What exactly is done during a "tune"

well it depends but basically the go through the ignition, timing, and fuel maps of the ECU and readjust ECU values. Allows for more performance, more mpgs, and a happy smoother running tune. Generally the stock ECU maps leave much to be desired.

If you want to read more look on club3g and Evom on the how to tune section.

the link says they are 600 cc injectors... and you can always increase your duty cycle on the injectors, but idk what max would be.. 80% duty cycle sounds max to me, but idk for sure

whoa if thats the case if one were to find this rare car would it be easier to swap for 5 speed insted of stealing it from an eclipse and swaping a whole bunch of parts from other things such as 2g starters and all that?

2g starter is only needed when using a 2g flywheel and clutch kit.

DC sports also makes headers for the 4G64 but they're expensive.

For the pieced together SRI, can you just get the maf adapter plates like at autozone something? I really don't want to use the one from my cai, cuz then I can't sell it lol

if you get the SPECTRE adapter plate.. It's huge (4 in diameter). The only filter that really fits on it is the SPECTRE filter. What pieced together SRI are you referring to?

I've seen a lot of the cars around here with projector headlight assemblies, and I searched the internet looking for them. I came up with a few different sellers, but they all seem to be selling the same thing, the ones with the halos. Does anyone have any recommendations for a seller? Also for the 8g, what are the taillights that have the yellow turn signal at the bottom, like my old evo? I've seen them but do not know where to find.
04-21-2011, 08:09 AM

Not sure about any good sellers, I'd just go by their rating on eBay.

As far as the tails are concerned, those are JDM tails. Just look around and you can find out specifics.

The pieced together kit, well the one that people just make using that adapter plate, and the cone filter with the stock air abs upper intake pipe. Dang 4 inches? Might just make my own then lol

Those tail lights are the Aspires, kinda hard to find compared to the 3rd gen tail lights, but a set was just sold to greddy, you might pm him and find out where he got it.

I ordered my headers off of ebay, the cheapest place I could find them at.

OBX headers, came with header only - no flex pipe thing. Ive had them for 6 months so far, no complaints. There was a noticeable difference, nothing major. I would definitely recommend them to a friend.

and of course, they are no longer this shiny. too bad they dont stay like that

8g Power Wheel

How difficult could it be to mold a 8g custom body to a Mustang power wheel frame?

Here's how I got inspired...
