    engine torque strut/brace for 89+ mounts...

    Most of the stock struts that i have seen are toast(even when moving them quickly), so before i made poly pre 89 mounts on my 1jz car I made a custom strut with poly ends, similar to what flub is talking about, it worked great!!! It minimized engine movment alot, but without any exess vibration...

    What is best exhaust system

    If you already have a 3.5" Dp a full 3.5" exhaust would be best. I assume you have a larger turbo than stock, so you will be able to reallytake advantage of the larger piping. Yes 3.5" will be loud, it isnt quite as loud on a 1jz as they dont have as deep of an exhaust note as the 7m which does...

    S2  Fenders - Group buy?

    FYI.... to fully utilize these fenders with wide wheels and tires you will have to do some serious cutting of the stock fender opening and inner fender to fit big wheels at a lowered ride height. Then fab up a way to close up the gap with sheet metal or fiberglass. I just finnished putting the...

    downpipe question

    A 3" Downpipe and exhaust is the best bang for your buck upgrade you can do on a mk3, gains of up to 50+ hp can be had just by installing a full 3" exhaust, and yes the DDP will make a little more power than a standard 3" downpipe/ elbow (only about 28 whp more!!!!). Once you have a full 3"...
