That's way too much toe to be running. Something around 0 in the front and 0.2 toe in total in the rear

Engine + Driveline / Car won't idle when warm, ICV?
« on: July 31, 2015, 11:34:46 AM »
So my car got a little hot yesterday (like 3/4) and I don't know if that had something to do with it but the next day it won't idle when warmed up, won't even try. I took out the ICV and stuck it in some cold water for a couple minutes then all was fine, but I'm still not 100 percent positive that was it since it's an intermittent issue. I did find that when I adjust the throttle stop so the throttle is held open very slightly, the car idles fine, and this is what has me believing it's the ICV, and not the crank sensor etc. A lack of air seems to be the problem. I checked the vac hoses and they appear fine from what I can tell, but I have a super charger covering some of them 
Do you guys think it's a safe bet to drop 130 on a new ICV? (btw I cleaned it a few months ago and again yesterday)

Engine + Driveline / Engine misses badly on cold start
« on: March 22, 2015, 10:36:02 AM »
The engine misses and runs really rich on cold start up. Seems like a spark issue, coils are 10 or so years old. Is there a way to test the coils without removing them (coil on plug)

Well for the first batch it was $50, but he didn't realize how much it was going to cost and from then on was $100 I believe. That was 3 years ago. Now it's $150 and includes the 2 intake gaskets that were not included previously.

Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / M42 Phenolic Spacer (reduce intake temps)
« on: December 03, 2014, 02:58:25 PM »
Hey I am trying to get some others together for a group buy (I am not the one running it but I am participating, and have been wanting this thing for a couple years). I figured lots of people in this subfourm may be interested so hopefully the mods can leave it for a few days.
Basically its a 10mm spacer that sits between the intake manifold and the head. It stops heat from flowing from the head to the intake manifold, reducing intake temps. One guy tested the surface of his intake manifold before and after and found a 60 degree drop!
The kit is $150 shipped and includes longer studs, 2 new gaskets, and some washers.
For more info you can check this thread: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=191828&page=6
If you don't have an account there I can add your name to the list (I am e304me)
