    no I don't, though I see how my post was confusing. It is now edited.

    Cylinder Head torquing specs.....

    use the original (ARP) specs. Clean the threads and lube as per ARP. They are not torque to yield bolts, and assuming they weren't preloaded into the plastic range the first time, they can be used again.

    ACTION NEEDED: get us hawk pads thread

    I'd hope there would be enough interest for maintenance parts (although, as i've seen some bragging about $13 brake pads, I'm not so sure). I'd be all over this if I was on stock brakes...

    The MK3 Investment....more expensive than children???

    I just did a quick tally... In addition to the cost of the car, around $10,000 CAD and 10,000+ USD. (in the last 3 years)

    Battery tie-down bolt

    I know its extremely ghetto, but you could JB weld a nut on the other side (should work as long as you're not constantly removing and installing the battery) I can't beleive I recommended JB weld...

    Battery tie-down bolt

    you could drill and tap to a M8 thread...if there is enough nut left on the other side, you're in business. If not, remove what is left of the nut and use your own nut and bolt.

    Change your oil every six months..WHY?..Time vs. mileage

    if you change the oil every six months, service stations will make more money on you. if you really want to know the health of your oil, do an oil analysis. This will tell you if you are in need of a change.

    Guys using a Q45 throttle body on the stock ECU - Question

    thats some clever engineering right there. not that I've done a lot of research on this topic, but are standalone dbw systems available? I know of the motec system, but I'm under the impression it ties into the main ecu.

    which one of you lucky ladies is mine?

    go look at each one. whichever is not rusted through in the rear wheel wells is the car you should choose. from there, pick the next best condition. engines can be re-built cheaply, proper body work, not so much.

    Guys using a Q45 throttle body on the stock ECU - Question

    This goes against my whole build philosophy, thats why I have the issue with it. Sure, I've been driving the car for a few days and have subconciously learned to eliminate any throttle-related bucking, but for somebody else, the car is a nightmare to drive at low speeds. But as figgie said...

    Guys using a Q45 throttle body on the stock ECU - Question

    this was another solution that I was contemplating. It sucks that i had to remove the original eccentric arm assembly to clear my hood... oh well, fabbing stuff is fun.

    For anybody using a fields/autosport harness

    pb92supraturbo sent me a couple pictures and I installed mine similar to his - I removed (well, actually, bent up) the glovebox liner centre mount and stuffed the harness above and behind (to the right) the ECU. There was quite a bit of room up there with the mount removed. PM me your email...
