really..... wow I'm with Zivman, you know what you have to do next right?? Take out the whole column or maybe this will work if i remember right there is a rectangle hole cut out that is stopping it from moving a great distance (I think) you could use a dremel and cut it up more so you can move the column in a different direction or you're just going to have to disconnect the entire steering column

I have the stuff I want, now I just have to wait to be able to take the car to the body shop.

Some of the stuff I can do in the garage when it warms up into the 40's.

For me: MAF sensor Chip and 02 sensor chip = total 7 hp gain. (chips are dynod to make model year specific - down to nuts and bolts.) Anyways - the website is www.horsepowerchips.com (Great quality and they come with instructions) Basically they take it to a huge science but from what I notice - it tells your computer to chain air/fuel ratios and can either be adjusted for more hp or more fuel economy - unfortunately not both. - Check it out - Also - though I can not demonstrate or do more then type (im stationed in Tokyo Japan area right now and my Z is in Mankato MN) I love all of you...for your car only of course =p but love is love brothers and sisters...now race on. =) -Mike

You must be retarded if you honestly believe that a $70 variable resistor will give you any power gains.
