Is the fuel pressure ok?

I had to strip my bumpers... I tried paint stripper, it was expensive, stinky, and sucked for auto paint. I ended up sanding them. A wet sanding sponge worked well with all the odd corners and curves. Still sucked and took hours and hours.

I need a steering rack, mine has wear in the center of the rack and the car wanders like a drunk after last call. The only concern I have is, when the average aftermarket company rebuilds a rack, do they correct on-center wear in the rack and pinion gears? I'm guessing, probably not, because the...

Wow, never saw those 002 16x8's on a MKIII before. I was looking at getting those, but figured they wouldn't look good. I stand corrected. What tire size did you have on those? Also, love the car with no wing/spoiler.

1-2clutch-u: How old were those brakes before the track abuse? It looks like you might have had all that rust contributing to the pads debonding... in addition to the heat of course. I set my stock brakes on fire yesterday and they didn't debond. I didn't lose the pedal either, they just had...

If your AFM is dirty, it can cause that. So can an old oxygen sensor, a very bad spark misfire (bad plugs, wires, or coils), an intake air leak (anywhere between the AFM and the cylinder head... there's ALOT of places to check for air leaks. Google "site:supramania.com intake leaks" for more...

That master cylinder is from a 97' Toyota T100 w/o ABS, if the pictures and info on RockAuto are correct.

There's no such thing as "too stiff for the power the car is making". It's all about what you want to do with the car. 140hp formula fords have much stiffer suspension than what we use.... cause they're built for racing. For a street driven DD reliability and durability is important, to me...

Make sure the frame is strong enough for the wind. My cousin had his antique tractors under one like that and he had it anchored down and the metal frame ended up bending and falling apart. If it was a car under it there would have been damage. I'm looking for something similar to store my car...

lol. I was pricing some hoods... I'm thinking about getting a carbon creations OE style hood. For $560 shipped they look pretty good. My stock hood is rusted underneath anyway, so I'd rather replace it than fix it. Losing some weight would be nice too.

Sport Compact Car magazine had a write up on compount turbo's a few years ago, in the Technobabble column I believe. Interesting stuff.

Save weight and get a more modern, shorter, antenna. Although the transformers sound from the retractable is cool.

Yeah this one hit like a ton of bricks. It was sunny out and all of a sudden it sounded like someone throwing marbles at our porch awning.... 30 seconds later it was full on baseball sized hail. It was coming down hard too, it was so thick you couldn't see across town. My neighbor was trying to...

Nope, Eastern PA. We almost never see stuff like this. I've never seen hail that big my entire life. One of the neighbor's kids was collecting all the ones that were bigger than baseballs... he had a bucket full of them.

Figures. Ah well... when they totaled my wifes old car we made out on the deal cause she was ok with not fixing the damage. Then again, about all I could do with this car now if I don't fix it is maybe run the 24 hours of lemons. It just started up again... worse this time. Tornado warning...

Had a sudden hail storm, 3 inch hail. Completely fucked my car. I'm so disgusted I didn't take any pics yet. Smashed the windshield, dented every panel 10X over, destroyed the trim, smashed a tail light. My DIY flat black paint job didn't chip at all though, nor did any of the filler work I did...

:dunno: My car ran with it sitting on a rag on top of the shock tower a few times before I made a bracket to bolt it down with (mine didn't come with the correct bracket). That was months ago though. I'm not going to go out and unbolt it and make a video just to prove myself right, I don't...

Hmm. Interesting. If I had a spare one I'd smash it apart and see what's in there.

I like that one, lol. Hope this all works out for the best.

What? Ok then... please explain what pin 4 in connector A is for (in the picture someone posted above). I must be pretty high if I'm seeing a ground wire that's not there. Maybe you're high?
