Late night fit of stupid: buying an 80 dollar gauge off ebay. Ad said Pivot oil pressure gauge. When it came, opened the box, held up the gauge, needle fell off.

On the lightweight crank pully, it's always interesting opening a thread for someone who spun a bearing and the lightweight pully is the first thing mentioned.

OH god "light weight pulley" has been said three times now!
Stu should show up any time.

Didn't mean odd number I meant odd number.
Damn foreigners can't understand basic English.

To add to the LED thing: if your car has HIDs, their temperature is 4300K. All OEM HIDs are. Replacing your fogs with 6000K LEDs makes your HIDs look dingy and yellow.

To add to the intake thing: most aftermarket intakes "make" power by leaning out your air:fuel ratio. This is bad. To my knowledge the only ones that don't are GrimmSpeed and possibly TRD.

Just replacement bulbs. They blind people. I just wanted the color to more closely match the headlights.

That's why, then. You might want to clarify your post. If you replace the entire assembly with an LED assembly (which is the proper way to do it), then it's fine. Just throwing an LED bulb into a multi-reflector housing not designed for one will screw with the beam pattern and blind everyone!

Bought a $20 "armrest" LOL! It is a tiny pillow that is black and red. I have taken almost all the red out of my car now, so it had to go. Steering wheel is about all that I have left is red... The floor mats have red stitch that is hard to see.

This add/pic has it correctly labeled as a cushion. Again, you get what you pay for. Was late night shopping, IDK what I was thinking...

Don't understand armrests.. you're driving a car not sitting at home in your favourite armchair watching TV or in the case of some of our fellow member(s) watching 8mm cine film..

When you're on the interstate for a bit that is essentially the case. My previous car had one and I miss it. I've taken to resting my wrist on top of the ebrake, but if that wasn't there I'd add the armrest (and I might do that anyway).

To be fair, on a 12 hour drive down the highway I don't have my hands at 10 and 2 the entire time...

Coilovers (Unless your a track person)
I had Cusco Zero 2R's on my 2002 Subaru Wrx and it ruined my car for daily. It used to drive so nice on stock suspension.

Same reason why I'm basically not touching the suspension on this car. It already drives amazing and has equal handling to my 02 Wrx for the most part with coils. I may or may not get STI springs in the future if I find them used since they are considered OEM+ with a 15mm drop only.
