    Does anyone have a trunk I could pull a part off of? I'm looking for the clip that holds the trunk lid latch adjustment nut in place. It broke on my car so now my trunk won't close :(

            Sometimes I feel that we, the R3v brethren, have to guide him towards salvation. And the more he resists, the harder we try!

            Resistance is futile, Toes.

                You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. You can give him a good kick in the balls and hope that he takes a big gasp and sucks in some water in the process.

                  I didn't mean it was confusing, I guess it was just a shrug, not a "I don't get it." I agree with these numbers, they both make sense and my experience driving backs them up.

                        It's a total placebo, similar to the big 3.5" AFM on 24v cars.

                        Cant make "A" Bigger without porting the head, large throttle body, tunes etc

                          Pretty much. You're wasting your time there. Perhaps if you modified an M30 throttle body for an M20 intake manifold...

                            I have a tune with m50 injectors and the car runs pretty rich. I have the head off rn and there's a bunch of carbon build up. Maybe I just need to adjust my afr somehow

                              Are you tuning it on a dyno or at least using a wideband O2/datalogger to verify your A/F? If not, don't phuck with it.
