Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Gonna take measurements tomorrow. I'm too tired to go out there in the dark right now and do it. I raised my car about 2 inches to give me a 2 finger gap from tire to fender and the header is still only about 3-4" from the ground. you can see it hanging under the car from a distance. pics and measurements tomorrow.

[QUOTE=4DRmafia;38101220]Check out the lip size! 15x8 -27 offset. I don't think they will fit well in my wheel wells.
They wont, they will be just under 90mm (about 3.6 inch's) outside your fenders.....

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Does this sound like a fuse problem? Last night I was on my way back from eating dinner and noticed my dash lights were out. Headlights were on, but gauge cluster and other interior lights were not. Then I noticed when I brake the dash lights come on, but only when I brake. My wife was following me in the other car and she said the tail lights also only lit up under braking. I haven't had time to check the fuses, yet. I'm hoping that's all it is.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I ran my car to a muffler shop this morning and they decided, along with my suggestions, to modify it and remove about 32" of the old exhaust center section. this is what we ended up with. Instead of using both donut gaskets, we used one and welded the little adapter piece, with a universal 2.5" flange slipped onto it, to that flex pipe. That was a great idea IMO by them. At first they wanted to cut the header, I was like no. you are not going to cut the header. Take out this section and redo it instead. lol
I also took measurements today. The ride height measurements were taken from the top of the wheel to the fender. yea, I realize my heights aren't the same in each corner. I haven't corner balanced the car yet and it looks pretty even to the naked eye. So,
I haven't scraped it yet around town. I'll have to make sure to be extra careful though. I just had my exhaust modified to mate with it. Doesn't sound any louder. If anything it sounds quieter. S.O.P. dyno feels a bit better especially around 6K rpm on the gsr motor. When I either modify my crossmember further or buy Nick's innovative crossmember, I'll really romp on it and go dyno and such.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Yeah. Aren't the fan(s) supposed to kick on when the a/c is turned on? Since the fan doesn't kick on the manual says to check fuses, then check pressure switch, then check thermostat switch.
Pressure switch isn't being nice. I assume those require ya to drain the lines again. Dang. It kicked right on as soon as I jumped it and grounded it like the manual says.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I don't like where they mount it on where the tow hooks would be, I prefer it on the factory cross member holes. I just feel safe that way and plus gives me more room. I had the old version of ETD traction bar and it held up fine and also took a lot of abuse over the years. They mount where the cross member used to be and 0 problems!
