Hey Guys just wondering if Evo 7 Brembo's would fit on a 3rd Gen Magna with little to no modification? If so how much you expect to pay for these second hand? Thanks *Edit sorry for the incorrect spelling in the title...BremBRO's haha

Lately i've had a fair bit of experience driving, adjusting, removing and installing coilovers on 3rd gen magnas and i am home sick from work and bored as hell so i'm going to write a little review and explain some differences.

Hello all, Let me just start by stating this is for a speedway car, not on road use, where ABS is not allowed. I guess the two options I have are to leave the ABS unit in place/connected (where it will do nothing but brakes will still work? not certain of this, wont be plugged in etc) or...

Hi Guys, We'll finally after 450,000k's my TJ Magna's Transmission went today on a routine 200k highway drive. The car slowed down and kept jumping along with the N light flashing. The engine has a few engine leaks and the car is probably overdue for a new timing belt so I've figured I...

The bonnet on my car has become a hazard, as it sometimes does not stay up. I want to replace the gas struts and have a few questions. First thought was to get struts from Rock Auto, as I have relatives who can bring them over to Australia for me. Rock Auto lists bonnet struts, but not for my...
