    mk3's and rain

    its all about slowing down in the rain. it just not worth crashing your car to save a little time. its hard to see your car smashed up thats all i can say. especially if its nice.

    What octane and is it worth the price?

    don't buy it man. first off you need a good amount of cash after you bought the car for parts because there is going to be a ton of stuff that needs to be replaced. i can guarantee you that one. then the fact that you can't work on cars your going to need even more money because paying...

    egr cooler call

    yeah. they skimpt on that gasket using just a regular carboard type. the toyota one has a layer of graphite on it like a hg or exhaust gasket to help it seal so it doesn't burn through. so for furture reference for anyone that gets a felpro hg set. don't use the egr cooler gasket. all the other...

    mk3's and rain

    the pouring rain in santa rosa ended with me fish tailing down the road at about 75-80mph. then once i lost it i was spinning around in the middle of 101 about 5 times. then smack into a gard rail. not fun. then i tore the fender off and drove 250 miles home with the worst boost leak ever. that...

    Questions for those running short shifters

    i've got a v3 too. it kicks ass. it feels really wierd at first because its easy to get used to the stock slow throw shifter. once you get used to the v3 and how much closer the throws are you'll love it. somehow its not really low to. practically same height as stock. i hate those ricer ones...

    egr cooler call

    so there was a break in the storm today for a little bit and i decided i would give it a shot. it definitely wasn't fun, but wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. i ground down one of my 10mm 1/4 drive. that plus the snap in socket it made things way easier. also the intake side valve cover...

    egr cooler call

    jdub i meant it will be easier to just pull the motor if i can use a lift. it shouldn't take me more than 4 hours to pull it then reinstall it. also i can clean things up a little while its out. then again if he is swamped i will have to do it on the car at my house. fate will decide this one i...

    Welding on the stock intake manifold?

    rennat. i have done all four common forms of welding oxy/act., mig, arc, and tig. tig is by far the most difficult. its somewhat like oxy/act. how you have to create a puddle of molten metal without burning through the piece then slowly add a drop. repeating until you have a full bead. also...
