    painful feeling after hg job

    removing the oil pan is not exactly easy. your two options are to drop subframe or pull the motor. most will say pulling the motor is the easiest and i would agree. a lot of us can pull the motor in these cars crazy fast but that cause we've had them appart and don't have to fight anything like...

    anyone looking for a minty mk3???

    the 91 is my old boss's car. its pretty nice but not a fan of the moon roof or color. it is a pretty rare combo though. both cars are 5spds which is a plus.

    Simple Cheap modifications.

    nice! nothing like a mk3 through the mountains. hella fun!!! fyi if you want to know for sure check out your tires. they can tell you a lot about how your car suspension is working. if you are wearing yours evenly without any shoulder wear then yes, your good to go. but if do have shoulder...

    Simple Cheap modifications.

    with the way i use my car not at all. if i run stock specs i'll destroy the outer edge of the tire from hard cornering. for regular street driving it will wear the inner edge excessive. i do casually drive my car around but the roads here are so twisty they wear great with me behind the wheel...

    Valves a little way too loud

    yeah i agree with you guys that he should narrow his problem down but i was just answering his question. its not that i think every motor that needs the valves adjusted you just swap in all new shims, cams, and buckets lol. on my 2j two valves are out of spec and im just gonna get the correct...

    Valves a little way too loud

    i've switch a mint(for a 7m lol) set of shims, buckets, and cams i saved from a previous motor to the head im running on my truck when i built that motor. even had the clearances from when i tore that motor down. they all ended up being the same specs from when i pulled them years ago off...

    Simple Cheap modifications.

    hahaha IJ i thought this is the tech section where you're suppose to go off facts not assumption. you say you ran stock links so how would you even know how adjustable endlinks perform on a mk3. :nono: granted i only have them on the rear of my car and i put them on when i did the st sway...

    Simple Cheap modifications.

    no link. never seen a writeup on it. all you need is heim joints, studs, threaded collars, and nuts. you put the stud in the heim joint (make sure you get ones that have plenty thread for the collar), thread a nut on down on each stud to use as a jam nut to keep the collar from spinning, thread...

    Simple Cheap modifications.

    lol IJ he said cheap. but i guess thats relative. heres some things off the top of my head. go throught the whole chassie/suspension and make sure everything is torqued to spec. like loose subframe or steering rack will make the car drive like ass. also while your down there yank your...

    ARP head studs vs ARP head bolt kits??

    arp headbolts and a felpro hg will be fine for your goals. just take the head to the machine shop to make sure it isn't warped and you'll be good as long as you know what your doing. my truck has a felpro hg and it works great!
