I love all that stuff most people just call conspiracy theory's. But your right, people just don't want to know. The worst bit is people think your an idiot when your the one who's actually went and looked for information yourself, rather than what is spoon fed to us through the media etc
I don't think welding would work as you have 2 different materials, the cover is alloy and the baffle is steel. I drilled and tapped mine and then tack welded the head of each bolt to the baffle so they couldn't come lose. But wouldn't be hard to remove it if I ever needed to
You can also run a fuel cut defender and adjustable fuel pressure regulator with the standard ecu. Despite what people say if they're set up properly there's nothing wrong with it. Obviously something mappable is better, just depends on budget
This! It's never going to be a fast car so I'd spend more on handling, my old n/a embarrassed many people on roundabouts and twisties etc. All it had was rolla mani, exhaust and air filter, and good tyres and lowering springs
I wasn't looking into this myself last year as I was going to buy a jet ski, however the only tow bar was for a uk ep91 and from what I could find online, the uk ep91 has extra holes in the chassis that the tow bar bolts on to and the jap ep91 doesn't. I'm not sure about the ep82 but I guess it would be a similar situation.
