Not enough fluid in the res. is the only thing that would do that...

Check the fuse for that headlight.

Neat car, but are the headlights a bit foggy/yellowed? Can get those polished out and then clear coat them again (without the clear, they'll yellow again quickly). Really common here in Texas :(

The plastic endlinks were used because the early models (with metal endlinks) had a nasty habit of ripping the tab off the control arm. Dunno where you'd get the metal piece, but you could always just upgrade the sway bars...

:bsflag: Either you: 1) were following too close 2) locked the brakes up I'm about done with this thread. You're contradicting yourself every other post which means you're flat out lying.

Actually, ABS is only worse at stopping on soft surfaces (gravel, snow, etc) as locking the brakes up in such a situation allows the tires to dig in. On a flat surface, ABS wins everytime.

IMHO, anything over 500 should go twin or you run such high clamping force that it wears the thrust bearings in the engine. Multiplate will also be more reliable as most of the crazy single plates have issues.

Depends on your method of bleeding. If you're using a vacuum bleeder, they recommend going from closest to furthest. To check if the master is dead, loosen the 4 bolts holding the master to the booster, and pull the master away from the booster. There's a paper gasket there and if the master...

W58 isn't going to handle 500HP for long, so you might be better off just swapping the transmission and getting a different clutch setup.

It has to do with the angles in the suspension and the arc they travel through. You get a progressive setup, but with a linear spring. The few progressive springs for the MKIII juct have the "soft" part of the coil collapsed when the car is on the gorund, so they wouldn't work anyway (eibach...

OneJoeZee's car is a perfect example, he left some nice long skid marks before he hit the car that pulled out in front of him...

Usually, that's used to hook up the a vacuum manifold for items that need vacuum (the stock setup uses a fitting on the front of the intake manifold)

Ultimately, it's your car, but keep in mind that many race classes use ABS, and many have it banned because it's too effective and would be considered cheating!

On our cars, KYB is OEM (without TEMS), the tokicos were I believe OEM (with TEMS), and bilsteins came on some special editions in Japan (and they make the TRD shocks). Also, progressive springs on our cars are pointless since the way the suspension moves is progressive. Also, on springs, they...

How would it not turn out well? That's exactly how you disable the ABS system. You're also forgetting the brake master cylinder is different on an ABS and non-ABS car. This really has nothing to do with your reaction times at all, it's the simple fact that you can't do what an ABS system...

All this is as simple as removing the ABS fuse... If you really wanted to be spiffy, you could wire a switch to cut power like removing the fuse would do, only from in the cabin.

Yep, that bushing is meant to slide over to make the alt rigid. Same thing is done to the lower mount on the rear shocks.

Well, if yoo do some kind of hold down for the coils, they'll be grounded that way. The only reason that ground strap is needed for the stock setup is because the coils aren't rigidly mounted and instead use rubber insulators.

I agree, it's not tuned for high reving sports car'ish fun, it's a truck motor...

You could run the better looking valve covers with the GTE setup as well if you're going COP ;) I remember someone long ago studying if the GE intake would be better, and I don't remember it going so well.
