Consider my words eaten :) I still don't want one in my car, though. Fine for lower power applications, but every one I've driven in a powerful car with sticky tires was NOT up to the task of distributing power safely or evenly. A T2-R I'm sure is a different story, but it's much easier to...

Ninja Turtles and Legos FTW I was five :) A family friend had an 89 White package 5spd Turbo Hardtop that's nearly identical to the car I own today, left a little impression on me.

I think it's so funny that Mk4 guys all ditch the Torsen for a clutch type diff. and Mk3 owners flock to the idea of having a Torsen. I've driven waaaaay too many higher horsepower Torsen cars to ever want one in a vehicle I own. Give me a good (i.e. properly set) clutch type diff. any day of...

Glad to see another Texan tearing it up. Where are you located in TX? If you're in the dfw area, hit up dfwsupras.com, we make it a habit to get kicked out of pubs regularly.

Wow, somebody's not bitter about cheap parts...... I think we can all agree that this part serves no purpose for the Mk3 and that there's nobody who wants to spend the money on it. We can probably lock this thread down now.

Wow, I've sent far cleaner shells to the junkyard more than once. Props on your dedication, progress is looking good.

I can think of zero people who need this diff cover. If you're making that kind of power, get a six speed Mk4 diff and install that with the billet cover, as you'll need a beefier diff anyway.

Indy cars and street cars share very little, especially where tire technology is concerned. Veeeeery different tire design, not to mention chassis/suspension tuning. While it is possible to hurt performance by having too little sidewall, aiming to have a tall sidewall is a waste of time.

Glad to see the car is as clean as ever :)

It actually fits, has proper mounting hardware, and is made from much higher quality material. Every copy I've seen comes out of the mold warped all to hell and comes with zero mounting hardware.

And if our goal is the maximum amount of tire-roastage per hp, then the Mk2 actually would be superior in the given context, so Tanya wins. I'll write up an integral that calculates contact patch as affected by dynamic camber gain, then run the torque curve compared to the available final...

I relocated mine to the junk parts bin, i.e. trash can.

Y'all expect updates every day, don't you :) Should have some more progress this coming week. New coilovers should be in any day now. JIC ftw. I'd love to get a greddy cover just to have on the shelf, do you have any good sources to find them new still?

You do know that you can bolt up the pressure plate AFTER you install the transmission. A hundred times easier to install the trans. if you do it afterward.

Yep, just haven't put it in yet.

Mounted my Intercooler today and decided that the factory 7m oil cooler was going to become the power steering cooler, so I mounted it as well.

Making some more progress as time permits. Found time to fabricate a brake master cylinder stopper and brackets for my coolant overflow and PS reservoir. Went ahead and powdercoated them satin black while I was at it. Starting to organize the wiring bit by bit, too. Also hit my Koyo with...

Ain't that the truth. I'm fortunate that even though my Mk3 is 19 years old and has 190k miles it still has really nice looking factory paint and all the vin stickers. Mk4's seem to have a high attrition rate when it comes to bodywork and minor wrecks.
