    Advice before starting... First time.

    I appreciate that you acknowledged that it took me a few seconds, to do it. That's the kind of post that gets you help in the future. Holler if you need details. I thought a bit more about a support to hold the motor up and drop the cross member and I might consider fabbing one up and...

    Advice before starting... First time.

    This will be the second time I have heard of someone claiming they did this. I saw one guy that used a 4x4 pieces of wood to support the motor with a come-a-long. I saw what he did but I looked into it a little and saw that you would need to unbolt the power steering rack, steering shaft, and...

    Advice before starting... First time.

    I'm not saying its inevitable, but its a pretty good chance. Keep an ear on it. If it gives ANY indication, STOP DRIVING IT IMMEDIATELY. You probably haven't done any damage yet. You MUST do the bearings, don't fret, its much easier than it sounds, below is a quick description of the FASTEST...

    First Car = BADASS

    OK stop right there, step away from the exhaust. LOL Not sure how old you are but unless you are 35 yrs old with that loud exhaust and a fast car, you are BEGGING for tickets. If the exhaust isnt hurting your HP LEAVE IT ALONE!!!! Trust me swapping a louder exhaust only makes you a target...

    AWESOME install thread!!! Maybe I should hire you to write them for me. Seriously this is great you touched on a few things I completely forgot and I will definitely direct people here to ask questions so all can see. Thanks for the kind words and all the others you have helped.

    ARZ BBK customers, chime in please

    Those calipers will definitely NOT work on the front of a MKIII just so no one gets any wise ideas. This was my first thought too. Especially you new brake installers, since they all just got done cracking the system I always cover proper bleed techniques with them (farthest, to nearest, then...

    Shipping something to Australia

    No but I quote each customer on each shipment and tell them its only good for 2 weeks, I have been burned before. I have recently shipped a rear and 2 fronts and I cant remember what shipping was, again, it has varied wildly.

    Shipping something to Australia

    Most brake kits I ship to Australia ship for between $200 and $350 but I have had a few go for more. My front 13" and rear 12.9" kits are very close to 60 lbs each. Front 14.25 kits are a bit heavier. I will agree, Shipping quotes do vary wildly even for big stuff. I always use USPS...

    link cps install pic please

    I just logged in to my dashboard and saw "CPS" and my egocentric mind assumed he was interested in "my" CPS cover. So satisfied was I, that I answered his question quickly, slapped the submit reply button. Then a few later I thought, wait, was he even asking about my CPS cover? Sure enough...

    Arizona Performance Wilwood Front/Rear Brakes

    I havent been surfing much lately, and Dean just directed me to this thread, I would be glad to put any roumors to rest if any get started. But all involved seem to be pretty well informed. That is exactly correct. These calipers are very specific based on being in front of or behind the axle...

    Methanol nozzle placement

    Man TONS of comments, I didnt have time to read all of them. Mine is as far from the TB as possible. RIGHT after the IC. The longer the water vapor can be in the intake stream the longer it has to cool the intake air. Many times after a good solid flogging if I pop the hood fast enough you...

    some really sweet wheels

    Sweet looking wheels, but I would be worried that they might not have room for bigger calipers. IE: Caliper clearance.

    Aasco flywheel?

    I have done that several times (not to the same friction material), make sure they machine the aluminum surface so the step is the same. DONT exceed more than .025 to be safe. If anyone knows better I am going from memory, and wont be offended if you know otherwise. They will look at you...

    New Setup Finished and Installed, LOTS OF PICS!

    Wow VERY nice, all your parts look awesome. I know those 4-6 day thrash sessions all too well. Yea 20-25 hours of sleep for a total of 4-6 days, but its weird how just the adrenaline alone keeps you from falling asleep on those road trips that follow. LOL
