How Hard To Get S60R Sport Body Kit?

06 May 2012 - 06:39 PM

Hello

Like the topic says...
I can't really find s60r 6speed with the factory sport body kit.
I see s60r without the kit though.
I wonder if I can find the body kit easily?
Maybe I should buy s60r and install the body kit?

Has Anyone Tried To Install This?

What Can Cause Bad Mpg?

30 March 2012 - 04:51 AM

Hello,
yes, its about bad mpg again.
My car is 150k mile 1996 850R. Stage 0 was done 2 years ago. O2 sensor was replaced 1 year ago with OEM.
I don't know why I am getting AVG 19 mpg 90% hwy 10% city with no WOT. Drive like a grandma, hwy average speed is 65~70mph.
No Cel, no vacuum leak, no oil leak....
Where should I check? I am kind of lost here.
I aldo got ARD orange tune to improve mpg, and I still get 19mpg.

I checked spark plugs yesterday, and the gap was 0.032 so I closed the gap to around 0.026.
I haven't driven car since because I have been busy.
I am going to drive it this weekend to see what kind of mileage I will get, but I don't know adjusting the gap can imrpove MPG.
I know tire pressure and alignment can affect mpg, and can they affect this much?? I know people are getting 25~27 mpg hwy.
I barely get 19 here.

Please give me lists to check.
I really want to solve this problem.

Thank you.

1996 850R Sedan Rear Shock Diy Question

01 March 2012 - 06:34 PM

Hello?
I'm middle of replacing rear shocks and springs, and I have a problem.
How do I remove the shock? Do I jack up the car or pry out when it sits on the ground??
I had no problem with unbolting the top bolts and bottom one, but I can't remove the shock itself.
I tried to use a long pipe to pry it out but before I do it wrong way, I want to ask here.
I have 2 DIY thread but by looking at the pictures, one was car sitting on ground and one with jacked up.
I'm confused.
Please let me know how I should remove the shock.
Thank you
