    It's not bad with crap tires... get anything sticky and/or wide and you'll hate life (shit, even the miata was bad that way)

    eBay knock-off TRD shift knob

    Yep, fake one is obvious as it's not real leather and the work is shoddy. Also, leather gets shiny because it's like skin (because it is, duh). Clean it to open the pores (why it's shiny) and then moisturize it.

    Modified Lower Control Arms!?!?!?

    Only safe way to get around the issue, or use spacers. Either that or have custom LCA's made, but don't fuck it up since LCA's are huge for a reason...

    Front main seal replacement FAILURE!!

    Timing gear is missing the front guide (i.e. you need a new one or your belt is going to wander and chew things up and get chewed up itself) Also, our motors are non-interferance, so valve impacts won't happen if the timing belt were to snap.

    NA Cams on 7MGTE?

    Search nazis don't live here :) FYI: there is ZERO gain in running the NA intake cam (exhaust cams are the same). It moves the power band down, which is bad since that's before the turbo spools...

    1uzfe maf sensor alternates!

    Well, it's not a MAF, it's an AFM (yes there is a difference and it's important) The 7M-GTE AFM electronics will work, but the housing is smaller than the 1UZ's. If you have the housing, swap electronics.

    Cam position sensor seal

    Replacement of the inner seal and bearing aren't advisable unless it's actually leaking.

    Divorced Down Pipes

    You know, I loved my DDP... I got really bored of it because I couldn't haul ass without alerting everyone within a mile :rofl: Though scaring the shit out dumbass soccer moms driving slow and sloppy with the windows down was priceless... FYI: I have one of the first chinese made DDP's, and...

    Rear BBK anyone?

    Yes, now bolt them down :) Warped rotor would be the least it would effect it, worst could be cracking...

    issues with fcd?

    FCD was never meant to be used alone, but with the full suite of HKS electronics.

    Feeler on manufacturing Cooling panel

    Shutting this down for now. Feeler threads are OK, but once money gets involved it becomes either vendor or group buy activity and must go through the proper process.

    Who offers carbon fiber hatches for mkiii's?

    Seeing as cars like the Ferrari F40 have a plastic rear "glass" you might get away with it.

    How reliable is the 7mgte?

    Technicians can make money, but the industry is flooded with them. Most of the people that finish school go on to make $9 an hour at a lube place. Also, mom and pop shops are stronger than ever these days because of the economy. You also don't work your way up much in a shop, it's the...

    Halo HID headlights mk3

    Adding a new wiring harness is a good idea :) Also, why on earth would you want halos when we have pop up headlights....

    How reliable is the 7mgte?

    A million times this. Also, fel-pro set for the 7M is repackaged shit and a massive rip off. If you're not going OEM on gaskets, get a cheap one because it's the same damn thing (same shit paper EGR cooler gasket when the OEM one is a metallic gasket, same shit throttlebody gasket with the...

    Upper ball joint not getting tight?

    Common on worn out ball joints :( Many manufacturers have a torque spec the joint should achieve before moving, if it's below that spec, the joint should be replaced. Also, only way I can think that using a jack to put load on it would be is if you tightened the bushing bolts at full droop...

    Cold start injector delete

    The temp you said is well under the temp the cold start injector is needed. If you're having issues with it (doubltful) replace it or have it cleaned.
