Ordered a BMR TA and relocation bracket, EBC brakes, new window motors, and finally replacing my leaky rack and pinion and some moog tie rod ends. Installed my BMR LCA's last week. 07/12, installed my BMR TA and bracket, tranny mount, brakes, rack, and a bad tail shaft seal. Been a busy day for my TA but I finally resolved my wheel hop issue

I've only put around 50 miles on it since putting it in but there has been no smoke at all so far.
Same here. My front passenger stays on no matter what. Already replaced the DRL module so it has to be something in the wiring which I am not looking forward to tracking down.

Well, I took the motor and tranny out, (the redneck way) but it worked, 1st time ive done this so it was an experience, we are going to start swapping stuff off the old to the new, but I have a question? does anybody know the torque on the manifold bolts?

Changed the oil after seafoaming the crankcase then finished the seafoam job on the top end. Changed the fuel filter. Also ordered a new set of wheels and tires, Chrome Torq Thrust M 17x9 in the front with Nitto NT555 275/40R17 and 17x10.5 in the rear with Nitto NT555 315/35R17 along with TSP true duals to replace the ORY and catback.

Last Friday I spent hitting the paint with MeGuiars Ultimate Polish using a DA, then applied a nice layer of NXT 2.0 to seal. Saturday I did a Cruise In then me and some friends invaded the local Sonic for some frozen treats
Great time had by all! Can't wait for this weekend to stretch its wings some more.

I bought this car knowing something was wrong with the motor but not for sure what, The previous owner ran it into some water, and then started it, VERY BAD IDEA! but thats okay, I think I bought it worth the money. Should have it running tomorrow, I hope,,,

I just finished the process today and am still waiting to finish off the tank with it added that is on injector duty. It will be at least another tank of gas before I can say for sure if it had any impact. However, I will say that the car has more SOTP power. So I am willing to say that it did some good.
