Can anyway give some insight as to why one side of my G, mainly the rear, is lower by 1/2 inch
I thought it was a dodgy spring or something but after changing out to Tein S-techs, I got a drop all round but this side is still a 1/2 inch lower.

To add, I thought I would do a temp fix by placing 1/2 inch piece of a spare spring mount fastened to the current mount to raise this one corner by 1/2 inch - that worked.......except it also raised the other side too.

I'm not sure if this ever - or can - happen but I'm starting to think maybe the ARB is bent/twisted some how from an accident or just 160k miles of driving. The front left is also slightly lower than the front right but maybe by 1/8 inch.

Edit: I have the orange pin stripe on order!

so I have a 5at coupe with Invidia Gemini exhaust. It drones pretty bad around 1.5-2.5k RPM. Will HFC help with drone? Or just make it worse? Any way I can decrease the drone (manual shifting is fine, but cant use it all the time)

I believe HFCs make it louder

I cant find the exhaust ground wire. hey I just swapped my stock exhaust out for a borla and after I did this I went online and watched some youtube videos on how to do the install. Both videos showed a ground wire connecting to one of the exhaust flanges. I didn't remember seeing one when I took it off so I rechecked everywhere but couldn't for the life of me find anything. Where does this wire come from so I can replace it with a new one?

Radiator replacement

I'm hoping some one has purchased a replacement radiator and thermostat from rock auto. I don't need any thing fancy since I use the car as a DD but just curious what members have used in 03 coupes or if any one has experience using rock auto parts. There are quite a few options & they're all fairly cheap. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Howdy guys, so I have an 04 coupe and my front side marker lights both don't work. They haven't since I bought the car. I did some research and figured it's probably a fuse or bulbs. So I went out to get new bulbs and they still didn't work. Now earlier I checked every fuse on the car and they are all in tact besides the cigar lighter fuse which I replaced. I couldn't exactly find a straight answer on the issue or if the side markers are even powered by a fuse. With that being said, is there any other way to fix this or figure out what needs to be done to get them working again?

It's not a rock auto one, but I got a replacement one from car quest (just some generic OEM type replacement) and I could never find a cap that fit it properly. I ended up replacing with a koyo aluminum radiator. I'd say spend the extra $100 on the koyo and never have to worry about it again.

I use RockAuto exclusively for all of my repair parts and have never been disappointed. I have an 05 sedan and bought a Denso radiator and a thermostat that I will be installing today. For grins and giggles I took my car to a local shop here for an estimate to replace both and the quote was $691. Paid $93 shipped for both from RA.

Radiator and thermostat are installed and working like a dream. Perfect fitment and it took a little over an hour to complete the job. Trust RockAuto they're my go-to online parts warhouse and have never let me down.

Yeah, it's all the same shiz. That's why I chimed in with the car quest one. Wouldn't be surprised to learn they're all the same exact radiator. Like I said the problem with mine was finding a cap. Tried to pressure test the system once too, and none of the adapters fit on the aftermarket rad and they did on the OEM, so there's definitely something fishy about the filler neck.
