Megan Inner Tie Rod End

What's the difference between the Megan Power vs Non Power Inner Tie Rod?
Are they both based on the oem inner tie rod + the 5mm spacer?

If i'm doing an AW11 manual rack swap into AE86.
do i need the megan inner tie rod plus the T3 steering rack spacer?

Re: new 20v build aggressive cam, weird idling sound

that's the next thing the shop will check the piston to valve clearance and head clearance. but I like to think the cam was properly shimmed and degreed in according to the kelford spec sheet. assuming that's the case, and the fact that the noise frequency is quite rapid, seem to indicate it's somet...

20v blacktop oil catch can

Hi guys,

What's the best way to setup an oil catch can setup for a 20V blacktop with open velocity stack?

Is it best to retain the PCV valve or not?

This is for a race car, so preventing knock and reducing crank drag (from pressurizing the crank) would be the priority.
