    If you mean the exhaust manifold studs those are M7X1.

      I like to use this stuff on my o-rings, but not 100% sure if it's okay for fuel injectors. I think it should be fine since it's non-curing silicone but maybe need to do some more research.




      Oh yeah, thanks again for the exhaust man!!!

          ICV - replace it, or is cleaning it good enough? Getting parts together for my airbox install and want to refresh the ICV and TPS while I'm at it.

            Cleaning should be just fine.

              I wonder - does the sensor end that plugs in ever go bad? I likely have the original and don’t want to have to remove the airbox to get to it. Is the ICV known for failing electronically or just the mechanic issues caused by gumming up?

                The ICV is really just known for getting gummed up, you can just brake clean it.
                I guess I have never heard of anyone replacing them for preventative reasons but I'm a guy that has 1/2 a car in parts I'll likely never use down in the basement so I now all about just replacing things.

                    Looking for the P/N for this phillips head plastic screw/rivet that secures the bumper to the lower wheel well covering.
                    Cannot seem to find this listed on real OEM.

                      Considering importing a car from Canada. Anyone have experience importing or recommendations for a import broker?

                        I don't think that's the OE part? Usually its just one of these 51118174185

                          If you change the front strut tower brace to a new one, do you have to get an alignment?

                            Yes, but I suspect you don't mean the actual tower, do you mean the bar/brace?

                            If the car is on the ground, you should be able to preserve camber/caster while swapping the brace.

                                I will be replacing my diff bushings soon. Does anyone have a parts number last handy of the diff bolts & nuts I will need to replace while doing the bushings? I looked on realoem and didn’t find much success, I also remember some of the bolts being updated which was not reflected in realoem.
