Not sure if it's enough to make them not interchangeable, but they are slightly different. The rest of the intake tract is the same between the two.

Bentley ^ this^

I had a little bit of a hard time getting it on there. It's defiantly narrower but it's on there it also appears to be a smidgen longer as it is pushing the box forward a hair.

809 mile road trip tomorrow. I'm gonna see just how reliable this thing is. I've still got an intermittent lean code. Which makes me a little nervous. I've about decided it's the exhaust, since that about the only thing I haven't messed with. Having put about 4000 miles on the swap though and daily grinding it I think it's good. No fluids lost no oil burnt no smoking. So we will see. I'll post a pic of the ex pipe on the air box later.

Yeah, I wanted the 45 series tires, but they were pricier and had less tire/brand choices. Since I was buying tires and wheels at the same time...I wanted to keep the budget in line.

I previously had the 185/65's on the stock steels, but wanted a little wider tire and went with 195/65's when I first got the car.

Hey guys, sorry to hijack the thread but I'm having some brake issues. I posted in the Brakes/Suspension category but am hoping one of you guys might know:

My fluid is fresh and the level is fine, and has been the same level for the last week. I'm also not getting an ABS light on in my cluster.

Any idea what's going on here?
Any help would be amazing, it's super annoying to listen to the clunking and I don't want to just pull the fuse and forget it.

Why go straight to blaming the abs? Did u look around the suspension parts for busted rods, boots, bushings and the like? Clunking noises are not really associated with brakes unless calipers, rotors and pads are totally beyond shot.

I've spent the last two years upgrading and repairing the chassis and suspension and nothing is worn out that would cause it to do what I'm experiencing. Also the front and rear brakes are new and have only 20,000 kms on them.

I'm familiar with feeling abs in the pedal on different cars including my own, I use the term clunking loosely but its exactly how abs sounds plus I can actually hear the pump motor agitating in sync with the pulsing pedal.

I'm going to pull the fuse to confirm later today.

Looking to get an aftermarket harness for my fog lights and I'm wondering if there is a oem tan foglight switch? The one that comes with the harness is a piece of bullshit.

There is, not sure if it's still available new.

I have a brand new fog harness if you're interested, I bought an entire new foglight kit after I had a run in with a chupacabra at 65mph last year.
