    Bonnet gas struts

    bit of advice based on anecdotal evidence but here goes I don't recommend ebay special gas strut conversions that mount directly to the hinge. on cars that were delivered with this type of hinge, the hinge to hood mount is designed to spread the load or the hood is built to withstand the...

    tinted lamps

    Imo the nicest and safest way to tint these is to scuff them down ready to paint, mask over the circular reflectors for the combo bulbs, reverse and fog, and do the same very neatly for the indicators Then a dusting of black paint, remove masking, clear over everything Makes them pop like dc5...

    Subframe

    it's a bit of a gamble but the rear multilink remained unchanged between 6th and 7th gen, 4th and 5th had a knuckle almost like the front of an integra, and then for the mk8 they did multilink for the bottom end, and a wishbone for the top the part numbers don't match, but judging by appearance...

    2006 CN1 N22A1 to 2006 CL7 with K20Z2 engine swap

    ouch :[ why not repair your cn1? petrol to diesel is not the most involved swap if you drop the struts along with the subframe and "just" slot it in but it's all the ancillary **** that's gonna snowball and steal your time. for example.. like, yeah you can swap the speedo in 10 minutes, but do...

    I know tourer geometry is different in the rear and it squats a bit more due to axle weight/distribution but I was already at negative camber before fitting a H&R kit and it made no real difference. fitting cusco rear arms soonish for camber adjustment and then all will be within spec. no need...

    Strange "sticky" feeling Power steering
