i disagree. ive had 4 mk3's and my mk2's are more comfortable and feel more responsive then the mk3's. had 2 n/a's and 2 turbo's and driven many more. ive driven mk4's as well. fast, yes, comfortable, not to me. feels too clustered in the drivers seat in the mk4.

ok so go cheap and say bone stock clean mk2 for $4k. then a wrecked 7mgte donor car for $1k with good running 7mgte. factor in mhg, arp head studs, custom i/c piping and dp, exhaust etc.. which now can be bought from rabidchimp prefabbed, still not cheap. do the wiring yourself, which will take...

why wouldnt the car be worth that much? a clean bone stock mk2 goes for ~$5k now days, and super low milage cars for $10-15k, as i recall one sold for like $17k on ebay not long ago and ophir bought 83 for like $13-14k bone stock before he even swapped it to 7mgte etc.... they arnt as common as...

i never put gasket sealer on any part of the valve cover gasket and have had NO leaks. just get the allen head bolts and new gaskets. by using the allen head bolts you can tighten the covers down a bit more then with the philips head screws so gasket sealer isnt needed. it is a rubber gasket...

dou you have a dump tube on the wastegate or is it recirculated? or open? if its just open that could be it. make sure you have at least a dump tube, i usually set them up a minimum of 6in long on cars ive helped turbo with dump tubes. any shorter and it seems to not boost as much as it should...

im going megasquirt 2, so yeah, the wiring will be cleaned up ALOT when i make the new engine harness for it. getting rid of all the non needed stuff from under the hood. im keeping my a/c and power steering etc.. though. lol.

well got bored so finally cleaned up and painted the intake manifold, throttle body, and valve covers for my 86 mk2. heres the link with all the pics and as couple of the finished pics. got to touch up a couple spots on the lower intake but other then that its done...

i didnt dye my seats. dont plan to either. my mk2 had black/gray leather. the seats i put black seat covers on. for the carpet i got black carpet out of an 82 mk2 along wit hthe solid black door panels and rear side panels. i havent dyed any cloth with it but the dash i dyed it wont even scrub...

i tried WASHING it off once it tried with hot watter and dish soap. i scrubbed the shit out of it and it didnt even darken the white rag i used 1 bit and none came off. i seriously doubt it would rub off. you just have to have the seat extreamly clean so the dye can soak into the vinyl.

i used the duplicolor vynil dye on my gauge hood i made for my mk2. its on page 14 of my cardomain for my 84. worked great. just have to clean it VERY well or the dye wont dye. it is an actual dye, not paint. it sprays on and soaks in and dries very quickly. im gonna use it on my headliner and...

why not rent a uhaul to haul all the parts from your old car home? then no worries of messing up the interior of the new car. also, if it were me id rather have the hardtop then the targa. never liked targa tops. also wish my mk2 was hardtop instead of a sunroof car. never use the damn thing...

well, last week i sanded all the nic's out of the gauge panel, painted it with engine primer then the low gloss black engine paint. came out pretty damn good i think.

i have a tilton 7.25in tripple plate clutch. it is unsprung. i know i have seen sprung hub setups before for this style clutch. it has a sprung hub with 1 disc on it and the outer part of the hub is splined. then the other 2 discs the inner part is splined to fit the hub so it can be put...

ok, i was at the junkyard saturday and a guy pulled a slave from a jeep and it looks like it would fit the t56 perfect, but its plastic which i dont like. sooooo, instead of modding the r154 slave to fit i figured id give this slave a try and did some searching. here is what the jeep slave looks...

they arnt pregapped for any car. i worked at autozone right after hs and i used to check them for people. it was extreamly rare they would be the correct gap.

the viper shifter will likely fit the mk3 better but id measure before sticking to that. i dont recall the exact location of the viper shifter but it would fit the mk2 great. the input shaft of the viper t56 is diff then the gm t56. the tripple clutch should work asi believe they make the discs...

m6 is the thread size AND pitch. it is a machine screw. tell the bolt supply you need 12 ss ms allen head cap screws 25mm long and 12 small washers. you can see them in this pic. i installed them on the replacement 7mgte i put in my 84 mk2

old stock coils arnt new coils. they prolly will have issues as well. id at minimum swap the coil from the 3/4 to the 1/6 and see if the problem moves. if it does replace that coil. id grab wires too just to be safe. is it really that hard to swap 2 coils around? im just wondering as you havent...

i already gave him the right size. #6 machine screws. and they need to be 25mm long iirc.

be sure to buy some #6 bolts to replace the crappy philips head screws when you change the valve cover gasket so they can be tightend down good. the stock screws tend to strip very easy and you cant get them tight.
