Whacked on the new IACV and along with the inlet hose, new o2 sensors and spark plugs the car is running amazingly. $50 wifi obd II widget is amazballs
Ok so I had a search around. The turbo inlet hose had a rip right on the hose clamp on the turbo housing end so I replaced that with a new tomei one. That didn't fix it at all really (even though it had to be replaced anyway) I read the codes and its only throwing P0159 idle air system performance. We had another search around and whilst cleaning and checking the IACV I found that the motor has seized/died or whatever. Manually held the valve in place and idle returned to normal. So I just need to grab a replacement when I get a chance.
My v7 has just started idling super rough and I have a check engine light. I took it for a test drive today and it seems fine. It appears to only be an idle issue. I havn't had a chance to run the codes yet. I replaced my o2 sensor as it was visibly damaged and the wires were not in good shape. Seemed to help a small amount. I have cleaned the maf and I'm certain I have no vaccum leaks.
What other things could it be? Obviously need to get the codes ran but havn't had a chance yet.

Obviously RE002's and 3's are mad. I had Nexen SU1's on my S15 and they were amzaing! You can get them for $209 and I wouldn't choose anything else now.
Well height preference, is personal preference. I wouldn't lower it much at all really. The lower you go the less you'll get performance wise from your shocks. If you want to go real low and still hold that perfomance, your gunna have to fork out some decent cash for coilovers. Brand isn't really a big deal, Tein, Kings etc. are all good.
