  1. With proper toe and caster, the wheel should center. He's probably got zero toe or even slightly toed out, with an old school alignment. I wouldn't worry about the wheel not returning to center
  2. I'm talking OEM options, not like a quaife or cusco. Then you're 1100+. OEM 5mt FLSD optinos are so limited and rare, i'm not surprised you get sodomized on price
  3. Unless you know someone upgrading their STI (rare), they're impossible to find under $600, and that's just silly. The guys I know who found STI owners paid 200-300. And I've been poor since I bought a house anyway, so all I have are dreams
  4. I want a front LSD from an STI so badly. I can even live without DCCD for that. I already have the R180, just need the front helical... *sob*
  5. I wish that the system handled traction and stability control separately. It would be nice to say "hey, I don't mind spinning tires, just not spinning the car" versus "hey, i don't mind rotating the car, just don't smoke individual tires" and finally "shut up, I GOT THIS"
  6. Yes, there's no little italy in Boston That's the italian section in the North End, nowhere near Back Bay But you knew that
  7. What i read is that our FPR pulls a vacuum reference from the cyl4 runner, which fluctuates in pressure like crazy since it's so close to the valves. If you relocate the vaccuum reference to somewhere central to the plenum, it makes it go away
  8. That looks awesome! It's funny, that grill almost looks like a late model altima, with how it's kind shield shaped Way more aggressive now, too bad she won't be coming out for WBM!
  9. I want to say rallysportdirect. I'm not positive. Sean - the floaty steering around a cloverleaf is probably due to the fact the the car has taken a set to the outside and then squats during acceleration. THe front inside tire is unweighted from the lateral force, and then the front starts to lift from acceleration. To combat that, you could add an anti-lift kit, stiffer spring/shocks or coils, but I'm not sure steering mods would really attack the root cause
  10. I think my whiteline bushings were 60$ and my cusco brace was 70$, and those are tried/tested to fit so maybe start there. Those two things help out the same way this would. It's all about eliminating things that flex/deflect when forces are applied
  11. It will work. It will be a pain to install. When I had my motor out, I swapped my steering linkage with damper out for a GR STI linkage, which acoomplishes the same thing (STI is solid). You get a better on center steering feel, more communication mid turn, and better feel during fast transitions. Is it a huge improvement? No. I might have even only noticed it because I also happen to have the whiteline steering rack bushings and cusco steering rack brace. What MC said, if you have the money, do it and it's worth it. If you don't have the money, don't do it and you're not really missing out.
