To the people wondering about the MM tunes. I've had my car dyno tuned exclusively by MM. He's been up to NorCal once.. and i've driven down to SoCal the rest of the times. Not only is in-person tuning faster, but just being around so many other rotary people makes it a "dont miss" time. There's nothing wrong with the normal email method, but if you can get the man to sit in your car, work on the maps, and test in person... why not do it?

the BHR coil kit does not claim any HP gains. It is a much more solidly built unit then stock. It also comes with the kick-*** BHR warranty.

Oh Jedi... looks like I might have actually found wheels.. and I might have them on by the time the dyno day comes.

bhr coils solves the issue of have to replace your coils every other year.
plus you can say good bye to ever flooding your car again, if it ever happened.

oh **** Laythor, congrats man!!
Those wheels are damn sexy, another forum member from the East Coast was showing those to me just last week and I think they'll look awesome on your car.

the million dollar question: size / offset?

18's.. and you'll have to wait and see the offset. My biggest frustration was 18 vs 19's. in the end it came down to how I drive the car (daily driver), and how much any pothole would freak me out with 19's.

tell me about it, I freak out anytime I so much as get near a pothole.
Not only that but the price in tires is pretty significant between 18's & 19's.

can't wait to see them, it's amazing how much a good looking set of wheels can change the overall look of a car.

I guess i'm weird that i really like the look of the stockers.. but they're starting to become "bleh" to me... and how could i dyno with the same shoes as last year?

not weird at all, I feel the exact same way about the stock wheels. I've always loved the looks of them which is why it took me SO long to pull the trigger on aftermarket wheels.

can't wait to see what they look like on your car.

Eneos is good stuff!

It's tough to say on the coils because some people's go out quickly, others get lucky and get a ton of life out of them.
I guess you could just bring it as is if you want and we'll be able to tell once it's on the dyno if your coils are going out. (the dyno graph will rat ya out. )

you could always order a set of BHR wires and pick them up at the dyno day
