i feel ya poodles. i know the F1 cars have quite a bit of sidewall too. i know youre right, you need sidewall to actually have a car that can stick in the corners. more sidewall tends to make a more predictable break-away at the limits of adhesion; being more forgiving at the limit. whereas...

lol yeah... thats exactly how it is. i dont have positive or negative feelings towards them either way. but, i have them, might as well use them. plus, might earn me points in the "wow" factor with any other mk3 people checking out my car.. especially when i go to sell it. i dont despise...

you guys with bottom-feed pickups for your external pumps, do you use the stock fuel return line or what? the only thing im afraid of is water collecting at the bottom of the tank if the car sits for an extended period of time. what would you do about that? turn the pump on and let it pump...

dave, thanks a bunch... youre a great guy, i dont care what the other kids say! i guess im gonna go pick up some crow feets and get this one out. if it turns out that the crow foots make it easy to R&R and this spare sensor i have turns out to be crap, ill PM you for that one you have!

now youre getting into semantics. side wall is required but too much is not a good thing. 16's have too much sidewall unless you down size. then at that point, youre effectively reducing your findal drive ratio and making it "shorter". on top of which, youd sacrifice ride quality by going...

are you pulling the motor out? if you are, just wait till you get it out and on an engine stand. flip it over, pull the pan, put a wooden hammer handle or piece of wood between the block and a crank throw, and have at the bolt w/ the socket wrench and steel pipe. if youre leaving it in...

ahhhh... makes sense and so it would seem.

ok?

if its brown with black spots on it, its probably a ground. if you have a multimeter and can test for continuity or resistance, check that brown wire against the other grounds which bolt to the intake manifold to verify.

what higher capacity fuel pump are you talking about? if you mean an A1000, thats an external, which needs to have a sumped tank, is really loud, has a short life expectancy and costs too much. If you mean a Weldon, thats also an external, some dont need sumped tanks, some are loud, they...

im sorry... why are we doing this? just be like me... you can do it all with toyota parts and you dont need to worry about dwell and stuffs.

the stock oil cooler is too small and too restrictive to serve any good as a full-flow unit once you DO follow thru with a oil filter conversion/relocation. youd have to upgrade it to at least a normal full-flow unit. why would you want a purge system to waste nitrous? just rotate your...

there are cast iron brackets that bolt to the bottom left and bottom right sides of the trans bell housing. these bolts go in from the MOTOR side. they thread INTO the bell housing as opposed to the rest of the trans bolts that thread into the Block itself. there are 4 total on the bottom...

its 12mm x 1.25 thread pitch. i think they sell these at Autozone as oil pan drain plugs. im pretty sure thats where i got mine.

if you have an SAFC on it, you can make it pass more... just lean it out under idle and cruise conditions more than usual... people have made AEM cars with big injectors and pumps pass emissions. btw, the NA cams start to become more of a limiting factor the higher you go with power...

did he cut you a key on the spot like a bad-ass lock-smith or did he just pry the door shel away from the window w/ some plastic wedges and use some metal rods to poke around? i had a guy do that in my apt complex parking lot and musta bent up some rods in the door. ever since then, i...

so, im having problems w/ my oil pressure readings and its the exact same symptoms as another friend in the area. his problem turned out to be a faulty sending unit as well. see, on cold start, my oil pressure gets up to about 35psi at idle... but within a few minutes of running, my oil...

they run 3 walbros because 3 stock pumps wont fit into the stock fuel tank. if they could fit the 3 stock pumps, theyd probably use those. twin walbros have been proven to run out around the 900rwhp mark. the higher the fuel pressure, the more these pumps run out of volume. also when being...

that thing looks great. i like those style wheels. looks like we both both need to get down in the dirt

lol... and the crazy thing is, i woulda never bought them on my own! but you can sure as hell im puttin these bitches on! when you start findin stuff like this amongst your parts, thats when you have too much shit, lol
