    MKIV NA Rims: Tire Question

    255 is about as wide as you can find for 16" rims. and even those are sometimes hard to find. they will fit just fine on a 9" rim btw.

    widest tire on a 7" rim

    huh? and what bg said. look at the range specified by the tire maker. not all tires are the same size since they are measured sidewall to sidewall. a tire w/ a rounded sidewall will not be as wide as a tire w/ a square sidewall. also to note, i have 255's on sawblades for drag. they fit...

    Custom exhaust fab question. (expeienced fabricators please read)

    well im by no means a pro, but it aint my first rodeo either. we've always used a chop saw. the one i have the clamper is adjustable in width and angle. if its a tight angle you have to sometimes do one side then flip it over to do the other. if its a super tight angle you use a band saw...

    Lemme Hear Your Exhaust

    part of the sound is from the ss tubular manifold. it will sound diff vs stock. yes its the gt catback, but was only limted production for the mk3 and has been unavailable for quite some time. it does have a resonator/pre-muffler built into the piping. the sizing of the pipe from turbo back...

    what is this thing on the dash?

    close but not quite. the temp sensor is above the glovebox on the left side of the fake vent. the black lego in the corner by the windshield is an optical sensor for the climate control. it measures the amount of sunlight coming in.

    3" exhaust flange to 2.5" ???

    not sure if the muffler shop would make a test pipe. but what i would use is a 3 to 2.5 reducer. something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3-x-2-5-Stainless-Steel-Exhaust-Collector-Reducer_W0QQitemZ120080790415QQcmdZViewItem you can get in alum steel or mild steel for 1/2 that...

    torque converter?

    you could launch at a higher rpm and at higher boost. how much difference depends on how high the stall is and how well it is matched to the rest of the system. price depends on a lot of things- anywhere from $300-$1200. install is straight forward. you pull the tranny, slide the old...

    HPF bronze Vs. RPS stage 3

    yes! by far the best clutch ive ever driven. x-man has the rps max pp tho. ive driven his car, and it is very streetable. not off/on, no chatter, just smooth and it flat out holds the power (over 600rw, multiple dyno runs, multiple track runs). he built another supra for willie using the...

    What all would it take to run 680cc injectors?

    what i have found is 550cc inj work better on the 440cc chip and the 680cc inj work better w/ the 550cc chip. aside from that, the biggest tuning aid will be an adjustable fuel press regulator. changing the base fuel pressure will allow you to control the flow from the injectors. you can...
