Just wanted to thank everyone for their help and give you guys an update on the refresh. Everything went very well. With two of us working we had pretty much everything removed and reinstalled in...

My order from FCP Euro came in literally one day and was packaged well with no damage. Waiting on manual trans fan shroud from ECS and everything goes in next weekend. Thanks for all the input and...

I decided to just go with the GEBA water pump as it is cast steel and not welded. I couldn't see paying for BMW or the Stewart.

Thanks guys I think I am going with that Modine for sure (and I have a new sensor in my list and will be using the GAS 1.2 cap)

Now just trying to figure out the best water pump and I can put my...

I updated the OP with my complete parts list and also put a consensus of what info you guys have given me so far. I'll keep updating so its easy for new viewers to see. Thanks so much guys!

So...

Have you had issues with FCP Euro?

When you guys have done your A/C and tensioner pulley's, did you replace the whole assembly, or just get the pulley itself? Is INA the brand to go with, or is there a better option?

I was researching the Turner kit as well and it seems I have a couple extra items being an AUTO but most everything is similar. I like FCP Euro as their prices are great and lifetime warranty on...

I think we talked long a go about you doing the fan delete. I'm pretty sure i am just going to get the shroud and swap my front fan and be done with it. That fan doesn't get used hard, and I'd...

Yeah I have the UUC underdrive water and steering pump pulley set to install (leaving the alternator stock as I have plans for a new audio system this summer). I heard a couple bad things about...

I've read that about the auto trans cooling as well, but by getting rid of the AUX fan in front that opens up the radiator to all that fresh air, and if it gets warm enough I would think the electric...

So I have been going thru what posts I could find and using Mango's guide as well. I'll most likely use FCP Euro since they have a lifetime warranty on everything they sell and I have ordered from...

That self destructing is the real reason I am thinking of doing it. The extra space and less noise is just a bonus. Did you follow a thread or instructions when you did yours? Mind linking it...

Thanks guys keep it coming!

So no one is recommending the Mishimoto tubes at all? ($140 on amazon)

I am thinking about getting the Mishimoto pipes for the intake. (run about $100 for the set on...

Hi guys! I am thinking its time to do my cooling system (the only thing I haven't refreshed yet since buying the car 2 years ago) and although I found some threads they all seem to be pretty old so...

Yes what reboot, I have same issue only when in auto mode. I was thinking the LCM was going to need to be replaced.

I hope that's not the case, but we will see what their reply email is hopefully today. I've put too much time and money into this to give up now, when hopefully we are seeing the light at the end of...

Thanks for checking that info, I don't know anything about spring rates and valving, so I really appreciate the input.

YCW did email me back and they said a couple things:

For the maxed out...

Thanks for the input, let me answer your questions:

You would think they would have this worked out for the correct springs which is why it's frustrating. They did send all new swift springs...

The rear stock springs are about 9"-10" and the first set of springs YCW sent were about 5.5-6" (but these are the ones that were completely compressed under weight of car) and the Swift springs are...

And here is the top of the front, notice how the adjustments are pretty much maxed out. (on the passenger side he actually had to loosen the 3 shock bolts and made sure it was slid as far back in the...

Here is how she sits now

Yup, back to the drawing board I guess Slater. I sort of wondered if these new Swift springs were going to be OK at the top becasue they looked nothing like the stock ones, but as I said I am no...

this is the rear spring with car's full weight

And this is the front with car's full weight

This is with the car on the lift and you can see the spring perch collars spun all the way down to the control arm. Also the length of the rear damper (this was where we left it at)
