    All Failed Rebuild Respond!

    it seems like only half the machine shops actually understand that block and head surface finishes are important. some places just think they chuck it on the mill table and get it flat and its good to go, regardless of finish. Doward, thats cuz you did! lol... I-275 crosses Tampa bay and...

    Justin, check this link http://www.supramania.com/forums/showpost.php?p=689824&postcount=31 i posted the info in another wheel thread. theres pics to give you an idea of the fitment on the car too. I wouldnt exactly call a 5 spoke wheel the "best" on a mK3. its nice, tried-and-true and...

    Godspeed aluminum radiators?

    just for a point of reference, i ordered the Haste radiator on March 20th this year. i did a write up for Haste outlining what had to be modified to fit the radiator in the MK3. i talked to rob at 935 and around mid-year, he was carrying these units on his website and i supplied him with the...

    just order the off-the-shelf MKIV offset. thats what my Volk GT-U's are and they fit perfectly. i cant tuck the 295's in the rear cuz im 100% stock body. if i rolled the lip i could, however. on the other hand, i dont feel inferior to the MKIV though. the Volk offset for the MKIV makes it so...

    Plastic refinisher

    yeah, i use PlastiX by meguires. comes in a black squeeze bottle. i think its like $12. it brings back just about ANY plastic with hazing or light scratches. itll even take the fog off the turn signals and shit. works miracles on guage cluster lenses and radio faces. before i installed that 02...

    Road Racing at the track

    if you want to stay in a Street tire class. Toyo T1-S are pretty good. i do beleive thats what the Realtime Acura's run in the SCCA series... albeit shaved before use. also, Bridgestone SO-2's are really good in my experience. Advans are pretty good. the Stock Subaru STi tires are BMF too, those...

    All Failed Rebuild Respond!

    i voted "Yes, no problems". ive done a few other rebuilds. one of which is in RTA Supra's old red 91 turbo which recently was sold. i dont konw who owns it now. both motors include: Stock pistons, 0.5mm overbore, cryo treated, moly rings stock rods ARP rod bolts, honed big ends Stock 7M...

    Turbo sizing experts come on in.....

    use a PTE/SP/BL 61mm, 0.58AR exhaust housing w/ the biggest turbine wheel you can fit in there. should spool in the mid/low 3000's and be capable of high 400's easily at 23-25psi with a pump-race mix. pump gas alone and 18psi you should get low 400's with no problem whatsoever. i put together an...

    lowering ?s

    tein's will sag, despite their Anti-sag guarantee. 2 of my friends had 02 WRX's. one had the Tein S-techs, the other was Eibach. both cars started out at the same ride height and the car w/ the Tein's ended up going down another Inch or so. the "best" way i can think of finishing off the...

    More FFIM questions

    well if its dead, it certianly wont need its claws anymore. you can do like i did w/ my 7M TB. just use the pre-89 TB since youll have an idle air speed screw to set your base idle. i needed that since my mani doesnt keep the ISC. also, if you keep the 7M TPS plug, just untape the rubber...

    a bunch of codes but only when it rains.

    i didnt forsee a problem with mounting it upside down since it has a better fitment w/ the intake pipe raised up like that. the Karmen vortex generator in the AFM body is sealed via rubber O-ring to the inside of the housing. the same applies for the IAT mounted behind the Generator. i had every...

    yet another wheel question

    hey thanks Bowser... that is an exhaust pipe, yes. theres another one on the other. single-sided = ghetto. dual-sided= sophisticated.... er than single. i just defend it as a "roush-style" exhaust. and yes, the 295's will rub sometimes because my fenders are not rolled.

    a bunch of codes but only when it rains.

    yeah, thats kind of what i thought. the weatherstripping may help but that is only going to seal the hood against the plastic trim piece behind the headlight. there is still that gap between the trim piece and the rad support. i think the water can still run down there too. ill probably have to...

    i went and looked a 240z

    actually, ford produced a slew of flex-fuel vehicles in the 90's. some of which run on CNG, which would be quite capable of running on hydrogen. there is a guy in town who took one of those CNG motors and put it in his round-nose thunderbird. its got a procharger on it too or something. nice...

    More FFIM questions

    honestly... i would redo the manifold. time to face the music and admit you did it wrong. not for oursake, but your own. youre only going to create more problems for yourself down the road by compromising everything else around an poorly thought out manifold. the engine around the manifold isnt...

    a bunch of codes but only when it rains.

    what would be getting wet that would cause my car to throw all these codes at once? 13 42 31 34 12 it ONLY happens after a hard rain. the car runs fine w/ no codes when its dry out. the only place i get rain is around the edges of the hood. take a look under my hood and see if you can...
