I apologize for not wanting to go throught the 30 pages you guys have here..just got a quick question.
I'm going to be installing a jdm rear fog lamp on a del sol. How do I get the light to stay after I plasma cut my hole (in the garnish)? Are there brackets I can buy? Any help would be great.
Nice sol's by the way...cant wait to get mine!

isn't there mounting screws on the back of the light itself? i remember ray ray had them when i was doing his for him. you have to drill the holes for the mounting points and screws.

Ok, this makes 3 in a row (yes I am being a ***** right now) but I have some questions haha.

What do yall think are the best full coilovers to get for the buck? Tein, D2, F&F, Omni, etc.?

I have to order something tomorrow so they will get here buy thurs/fri. So I need everyones opinion asap haha.

Its my DD, but it will see some track use once I get my motor done. (Both drag and road)


I can get the function and form ones with pillowmounts for like $650.00 Seems to be a really good deal. Everything else is a good bit more and without the pillow mounts.

I bought NAPA's drilled slotted rotors for the front and daily drove them for a couple months, also took them through a couple autocrosses. They never cracked, but, then again i barely had them broken in.

EDIT: I am seriously running out of pics for ownage, and the ones i do have i dont know if i have posted them before or not, so sorry if my pics are getting old, il take new ones soon.

now THIS is a can of worms.

Powerslot recommends one way, Baer recommends the other..... there is no right way to put them on

jimmy: were you using new pads and new blank rotors? were they bedded correctly? there are too many factors to say exactly how or why something stops better

it depends on the inside vanes. your right in every rotor is made different. if the inside vanes are straight then it doesn't matter which side they go. if the inside vanes are curved.... then they are directional.
