What brand of door handles are they? good quality?
I can say my experience with jopex isn't very good. the b4 handles suck.

Re: 20VTMK2GLI
4est, door handles were cheepys and were deemed un-fit to be on the car. I'll have to look at the brand but they were crap

Re: 20VTMK2GLI
I've been sitting a good 1/4" lower on the rear-right corner which has resulted in unwanted rub. Installed a new set of KYB, stinky ass Taiwanese upper mounts and now have even clearance, and I gained just enough to hit bumps and dips, without the pucker and burning rubber/plastic smell.

Re: 20VTMK2GLI
Finallly got someone good on the phone at Unitronic about how my car runs. We were able to determine that the dealer I used f'd me. Did not do any due diligence upon ordering, did not ask the questions he should have (the questions I tried asking) and put the wrong flash on my car. So.... off to Canada with my ECU.
Hope I aint done any harm to my motor driving it on a confused program. On the bright side, she should run even better.

Lets hope so... you might wanna jump on the stand alone band wagon. You have complete control over that at least!

Re: 20VTMK2GLI
I have experience with a 24v vr6 with the stock coil packs which are similar. 5v switching coils instead of 12v. Wire as wasted spark and use the 60-2 crank trigger wheel same as vr6. I prefer megasquirt 2 at A minimum... megasquirt 3 is even more advanced. Then you can add options... water/meth control, gear based boost, flat shift, anti lag, traction control, e85 switching... lots of fun to be had. My suggestion would be to start basic and then mod it out with the ecu options to keep it fun. Easy to get buried in all the options. Megasquirt 1 isn't nearly as smooth or refined as ms2 but would also get you tuning cheap.
