I've run with mine in a very close location, no problems, but I have the fog lamp and the lower splash shields in place all the time too. (Even have driven in some very heavy rain where there was 2 to 3" of rain on the road, and no problems...) I suppose if you tried to drive across a flooded...

Used clips very cheap from any Mitsubishi V6..... Like "free" at the salvage yard.... Of course they are less than 3.00 each on Ebay... (So, I suppose new at less than 20.00 would be a good deal, but free was the right price when I did mine.)

Please never use Fram filters anymore... :( I belive MCD has the right adapters you need to go from the banjo bolt, to a AN4 line to your turbo. It's a 12x1.25 thread IIRC, and very few stores keep them in stock, but some of those folks who deal with Surpa's have them ready to sell to you...

Here is what you need. (NO Phil at Flatlander needed, or there to overcharge your credit card, and then tell you it's not his problem....) Crank is a custom modified stock one from Crankshaftspecialist.com out of TN. Very nice folks to deal with, tell them Greg says "Hi" when you call to...

Well, after running the "Stroker" as delivered from Flatlander for about 350 miles, it crapped out, and I ended up re-building it again. (Combination of a soft set of pin bushings, and Flatlander's total screw up on ordering the parts, and then not owning up to their screw up's...) So, with...

Which ebay T70 are we talking about? The Masterpower one, or the XS Power? (They are totally different turbo's.) Low compression due to the 3mm head gasket is my guess. Your motor is setup to run higher boost levels as a result, but your right thinking there is more room for error as the...

I have seen a few CT based manifolds made from weld el's used to make up hand rails and other stuff like that. Basicly very thick pipe fittings. (My elbow is made from one, and holds up to the exhaust heat just fine.) JBL made one, and there was a MAXX version out there too IIRC. Start...

Gas is gas is gas is gas. Only real difference is the additive package at some stations. (Shell it appears, like's to add too much cleaner to the fuel...) Chevron has a very good cleaner called "techron" that has actually been proven to work at keeping your fuel system clean. Octane is...

Yikes, 6:1 fuel to boost pressure? I've only played with the 1:1 fuel pressure regulators, but I would think that adding that much fuel would be interesting, and at some point, quickly the stock fuel pump would fail to supply more pressure no matter what the FMU tells it to do. (Do you have...

I can attest to the need of a good working fan clutch. My R12 system worked great at highway speeds, but would quickly shut down in traffic at the stop light when the hot air temps around all the coolers up there reached a point where the ambiant temps exceeded the shutoff point built into...

Crap I want to go to this, but It's not looking like it's going to happen at this time. :(

Was that over 900lbs of tourqe on that dyno sheet... Dang man, that engine is making the power. (Who cares about peak HP if your making that much tourqe.) Interesting to hear about the rod bearings being worn. Your running the stock journal sizes with the Pauter rods right? I wonder if some...

Get your car into the 400's at the wheels :) Few ways to do it and be reliable and fast at the same time, and NOT spend all of your 3k. Buy my used bolt on Turbo, 550's and Lexus meter. IT works fine on the stock TCCS, but you will need to buy a areomotive adjustable fuel pressure...

Bad fuel? Just a guess, but add some toulene and see if that changes your tank of gas, and this "sometimes" problem. PS, you can get the toulene at most paint supply stores, but it's going to cost you a few bucks thanks to the greedy oil companies and our friends the Saudi's.

If your dealing with Tire Rack, you can get what they have for the MK4 TT fitment, it works fine on the MK3 too. (But they will tell you it does not... LOL) That's where I got mine, and that's what they told me, and they are excellent wheels and tires. 18" SSR Comps, wider in the rear than...

If you go with the RX7 cooler, it's easy to place the way I have it since both lines terminate on the end near the engine/filter etc. The only thing I'd reccomend is hooking up your lines before you put the cooler in place. I ended up needing a few extra sets of hands to do this since mine is...

FRY EM!!!! Boo Yeah! Hope you catch em, and the news media get's involved and they are up to their eyeballs in bad PR over this one. I'm going to look into cameras for my car the more I think of it. (Would only need photos taken every 2 seconds or so to keep a good reccord of what's going...

Tell you guys a funny story. A few years ago, I used to be out in the field, looking at wrecked cars and people all the time, so I had a camera in my vehicle always. So, I'm going down this long hill into a wide valley just about 5 miles from town. I passed these two semi trucks at about...

One place I think the 9.00 per quart stuff is worth the money is in the transmission, power steering system and rear diff. Those don't get changed as much as they should, and spending a few bucks more for oils you don't change regularly is good insurance for your performance vehicle. (or any...

I belive in good filters too :) Your right on the group III blend, I was misled, so thanks for making me read everything again to be sure. It appears the RTS in the blue bottles is 87% Grp.III and 13%PAO. The Canton/Mecca depth filter is full flow with no bypass allowed. (or needed since it...
