AWDBOB's Newest AWD- Heidi

Powdercoater got sick. Car still alone in the garage. She just wants to go for a cruise, but can't until she gets her intake back.

The only reason my ix is lowered is because I wanted a better spring and H&R didn't have a stock height spring. I would actually like to raise my car a little bit.

This is your chance! Buy em and then tell us how they are haha.

I might have asked before but were you happy with the GCand koni race?

I was very happy with the way the car rode and handled, but there was a low speed binding in the steering that I never figured out, the spherical bushings for the adj endlinks were noisy, and it ate axle boots, but I don't think they were OEM boots, and looking back had they have been I think they would've lasted.

So, next time around I will move the endlink boxes so I can use oem endlinks like nando, use OEM axle boots, and use the GC camber plates. I think that would solve all of the things that frustrated me.

I know......it hurts my bank account just looking at it.



That's what I'm saying! I'm curious to how well it feels compared to my old GC setup.

Put a spacer between strut tower and upper mount?

Damn, a true rear coilover setup? Nice.

^I saw the video, the guy is lucky there was no one in the on coming lanes.

Guy was super lucky there weren't any cars coming. Those M4s in person are pretty nasty.

Scrubbed carbon and grease for like 3 hours today. Don't mind the unfocused pix.

Most people who own one love them and I almost bought one myself for my previous 2.7 M20, but didnt because I wanted flow #s and they didnt have any..

I had the same thoughts, but at the same time, I'm not expecting the head/cam/intake to make me any sort of crazy power, I really just wanted a little refresh, and I think this ole gal will get the job done just fine.

I would've liked to do a before/after dyno with the old/new head, because I couldn't find a solid comparison, but oh well.

Here you can see a 1" mark taken out of each bowl, other than that the head doesn't really look ported at all. Exhaust ports are untouched, intake ports don't look touched either.
