Not sure about that one, I know someone on here did 93 oct on an automatic and they got 270whp, so I'm assuming on 91 octane it would be on par with what others are seeing with 91 on a manual.

But obviously there is that lingering fear of 'if its cheap, its garbage'. Although that doesn't always ring true...

Honestly I don't have any complaints on the Megan Parts. They offered me a partial sponsorship so I picked up a few of their parts. I've had the coilovers since August of 2012 and haven't had any issues. I went with them because of the fact that they didn't cost that much and at the time I was trying to save up for FI which at that point the Vortech kit wasn't even out. But the ride is suprisngly good, when I first took my tuner for a ride he was surprised that the ride was this good on megan coils. I had originally planned to get other coils but at this point I don't see a major reason to upgrade, especially since now i'm just trying to get more money together for other parts I still want.

I wanted to get these because by bro rides with them on his 240 and he likes them. Plus they are pretty cheap.

Looking clean! Do you have any more pics of the MSA gauge pod? I'm thinking about buying it once I boost it, but does the color match the interior black?

I dug up this old photo I shot that shows more of the gauge pod in the light. The color isn't that far off from the interior but the texture is different than the stock pillar, you can buy a replacement from MSA for the passenger side as well so they match but I don't really mind it since it's not that big of a difference.

Yeah I see what you're saying, I could barely tell that it was aftermarket. Thank you for uploading that for me I'll definitely be picking up one of those tomorrow

Here are the pics of my single gauge pod that MSA made me. I agree that the texture doesn't perfectly match the OEM A pillar, but I loved it:

I would have just gotten that covered in Alcantara or something - can't stand a different finish like that.

The other A pillar is on the other side of the car. It isn't like you can actually look at both at the same time to note the difference, but as mentioned they can coat the other A pillar as well so they match. I know I wouldn't want to attempt to cover the gauge pod with Alcantara, but I am sure JPM Coachworks would love to take your money to do it.

It stands out against the dash, which would be my immediate concern.

The dash isn't identical to the OEM A pillars either in my recollection.

It may not be identical but the disparity isn't nearly as great. Just one of those things that bugs me.
