  1. That's a pretty open-ended question. I recommend you spend some time reading the posts on this board to get a feel for the issues other owners are encountering... Not really, if it were my old car I would just say ABS sensor, certains mounts and the rubber coupler at the IAC/TB. But ok, what about the other questions...
  2. You're pretty set as far as block strength with the whp numbers you're considering. I'd go with a SSAC (ebay) manifold but have it rewelded and braced because they're known to crack all over the place. Pair it with a Garrett 60 trim, .63 backhousing and tune the fuel with a SAFCII and you'll be set. Go with a single large IC, something from say Greddy or Precision, don't cheap out on the IC...not gonna bother talking about the standards...3'' back, intake etc.
  3. Also, these cars have any quirks I should be aware of, common problems?
  4. Looking to pick up a '06 GS430...coming from a '98 Volvo S70 T5 (60 trim, 3**whp, stock block etc). -Wondering who makes wheel adaptors, need to get something so I can run some 5x108s from my Volvo. Also what offset is ideal here, the wheels I have a +38? Will probably be stretching a 215/40 on a 18x7.5'' and slamming it. -What're the whp limits of the stock bottom end and auto tranny and what're the weak points? -As far as coilovers I'm looking at either the HKS Hypermax CLX or JIC Magic VIP -- any major differences between the two, what're the characteristics? Finally, anywhere I should be looking beside Lextasy as far as parts? Any group buys coming up, companies I should avoid, etc? Thanks, sorry if these are redundant had I searched. Jared
