I was having some issues yesterday and found out all 6 of my coils boots were cracked and basically destroyed. 3 of them were actually fried. Replaced all six and instant power all came back.

I'm usually not one for Alpine or sedans, but your car looks great! What size tires are you running/ They look nice and beefy.

Thanks for the compliment!! The car is sitting on GC coil sleeves with eibach lowering springs. ESM 15x8 et15 002r rims with BF Goodrich G force sport tires 205/50/ZR15. I had to use 5mm spacers to clear the front brake calipers.

How is the power/torque compared to the M20? I have a M50 sitting in my backyard but from what I've read there isn't too much gain from doing the M50 swap and so I'm thinking if it's even worth it for me.

Clean looking car BTW.

Well since I have never drivin a m20 before I can't say the difference but this setup has made the car pretty quick. I wouldn't say it's a super fast car but definitely fun as hell to drive when I get into the high revs. I installed a 3.73s when I blew up the 2.93s diff. The 2.93 was in bad shape to begin with. I'm sure others with this same engine setup could chime in or have already shared some really good feedback into comparisons between the engines in other threads on this forum. Thanks for the compliment!!

So i did have a question about a issue im having with my car. After its all warmed up i hear a slight clunking sound that is coming from under the car. Could it be the driveshaft bushing is finally failing? I def think its coming from under the front of the car near the trans area. Starting to think the clutch or flaywheel is making the noise. I have yet to take the trans off and check out the clutch because it does grip very well with no signs of slippage. But i was thinking maybe the flywheel could be making the noise or if possibly its the TO bushing for the clutch? I already replaced the flex disc brand new so i know thats no longer a issue. What clutch are others using for your cars? I have G260 trans if that makes a difference for what clutch im gonna get. Sach's sport clutch kit comes to mind.
