lol, ok, that makes more sense

Believe it or not though, the clutch height adjustment might take less time than the cabin filter change! But yes, same thing I said earlier applies, bring your tools and we'll take care of it! Note, this is best done in daylight, or else bring a good flashlight.

Ya, I put some PIAA hiper white LEDs bulbs behind the the side markers... need the clear ones to show the PIAAs off.

I wana replace out the parking lights with the same PIAAs... I opened the hood, but would not figure out how to get to them. I have a 2006 coupe.
Anybody know how or point me to a DYI?
Well glad to see you've hit the ground running. Good luck and hope to see you around.

Taking the headlights out requires taking off the front bumper, or at least unfastening it enough so you can get your hands behind it. Sorry I'm sure there is a DYI but thats just not my area of expertise. Now if you ever feel like putting your car on the track just send me a PM, I'll tell you where the action is.

Is there a brake or gas pedal height adjustment?

I don't think so. You'd probably have to buy some after market pedal assembly or something

Yeah the TEIN FLEX is a complete set of shocks/struts and springs and are all completely adjustable for ride height and also stiffness (damping). There are plenty of other options for coilovers as well, spend a little time over in the
Brakes & Suspension forum and you can see what others have done. There are other TEIN coilovers which aren't quite as expensive as the FLEX also.

Also if you plan on doing any of the work yourself you can check out the Suspension DIY forum

As for the ipod connector, the biggest turn off to me was having to leave it in the trunk. If the Nissan adapter allows you to control it through the OEM stereo, it will probably only be minimal control. You won't see song names or artist names, etc.

Ok guys, so I have been doing some reading on this forum and I think its come down to choosing between Tein Basic and Tein CS.
And to help me choose, I have some questions... I have posted them here...

Looking forward to your input.

I've been doing some research on coilovers since buying my car, and now that I've hit the track, I'm going to move ahead with coilovers and sway bars. Check this out, great read, lots of advice. You may change your mind on your suspension setup after reading this, I know I did. I will link straight to the section on shocks, from there you can go through the whole list if you like.

Lol, I am still cracking up about how we were talking about the antiquated test they used and refer to for showing how good their oil is, then we walk over to there stand and bam, there they are running that same test!
