I prob wouldn't recommend the 80's they r huge You will have major issues tuning them. It won't idle. A better way to go would use a boost referenced regulator and return line. I have 80's in my 6.6L Trans Am idle was a major pain to tune. It would surge and flood. The PCM would always try bumping up the min pulswidth and it would start flooding. I finally had to make the car idle in openloop. This worked good but I don't see how u r gonna get the little 2.0L to idle.

thats good. ya from time to time my remote doesn't fully disable the theft system on my car so i'll go to start it and it won't crank or anything and then i remember this and have to unlock the car a few more times and it works good after that.

I honestly don't know. It doesn't clunk over bumps so it makes me believe they are fine... Once spring comes I'll take a look at them. But even if they are fucked right now I couldnt afford new ones anyways...

I picked mine up for $20/each from Napa. Pretty cheap and they are solid rubber instead of the stock ones that have the holes in them.
Going to try them out, let me know if you end up wanting to replace yours. I don't have a press but I think I just figured out how I'm going to get the bushing out/in

mark can you color match things for final wrapping? also can you wrap something to cover up imperfections?
Things im looking at wrapping
1) Fuse Box Cover-under hood
2) Gauge paud bezel- sanding is not perfect but im wondering instead of me spending 18 years trying to sand and get perfect if you can wrap and cover up imperfections
3) i just want some little SS decals mad about 1 inch in size- in black
Thats it for now
