Hey guys! I'm ready to get a short shifter; but, there aren't many choices out there. For those who are running short shifters or those who have driven MKIII's with a short shifter, I have some questions. 1. What brand/where was it purchased? 2. Would you buy that same brand again? 3...

Hi all! I have this woodpecker knocking type sound just as the car starts to boost then it goes away. (well it might not go away; but, it can no longer be heard because of exhaust and engine noise) It can be reproduced every time and the sound is identical every time. It is coming from the...

I am just now finishing up my BHG, Blown Radiator (installed a Koyo), and Blown Heater Core. What a mess huh...? Anyway, I'm just about done and I decided to fire her up and all of the gauges work fine except the boost gauge. It pegs as soon as I turn the key to the 'on' position. My...

Hey guys and gals! I was just wondering of anyone has relocated their O2 Sensor Wiring from the stock location. I was considering routing it in a different direction to get it away from all the heat of it's current route. The added length of wire wouldn't be enough to cause signal loss...

Enjoy... :D

I had a little free time in between replacing my heater core and picking my nose. :biglaugh: If ya like it, take it, if not, leave it. Keep the ponies up! :icon_bigg -CajunKenny

I found a little device up under my dash that I don't want. :rant: It's one that has been known to cause MUCH grief! It's an HKS Fuel Cut Defender!!! Can I just cut the stupid thing out of there or should I just leave it alone? The reason I ask is because I'll be installing my 550's...

Hi Guys! I have a 91 and want to start on my heater core replacement sometime this week; but, want to make sure I don't damage or cause the air bag to blow in the process. :aigo: Is disconnecting the battery sufficient? Any recommendations or pointers on this job? Sincerely, Your...

Hi everyone! As some of you know, I just repaired a BHG about 2 weeks ago. I'm guessing the heater core sustained damage when the BHG happened and is now leaking. I have been hunting this coolant leak for about a week now and just found it today. It's leaking just enough to wet the carpet...

My HKS 1.2mm MHG arrived today. Thanks Dunckel!!! :D I will be putting my ARP Headstuds back in using motor oil on the threads and here are my three questions: Is 90 ftlbs what I should torque to? Should I retorque? When should I retorque? (mileage and/or time frame) Thanks...

Hey guys! My fuel system is currently stock except for an Aremotive AFPR. I have a set of 550's, maft pro, and a walbro; but, they aren't installed yet. I currently have the head off fixing a BHG. So, my question is: Will installing the 550's cause problems without the other items...

Here's the short story: I recently bought a 91 with a 4k complete rebuild. The previous owner kept meticulus records of everthing and I have receipts of a purchased and work orders for an installed HKS 1.2mm MHG. I get the car and turn the boost up to 16psi and the HG blows on my first...

I finally got around to putting something together for my buddy David. I sized this funny because I'm going to frame in an 8x10 for him. I hope he's going to like it.

Ok. I'll be posting quite a few questions because I just bought a 'new to me' supra. This car has a pyro gauge. The sensor is plumbed about 3" down from the elbow. When I was driving it home, around 75 mph, with the cruise on and not boosting except on the occasional hill; but, nothing...

Ok. So I replaced my wrecked 87 with a 91 this weekend. I drove the 91 home (400 miles or so) without any issues. Then today I get a code 21. Could it simply be a bad O2 sensor...where do ya'll recommend that I begin? Thanks...

Hi, As some of you know, I totalled my 87 last week. :cry: I am now looking for a shell or badly running car to put my drivetrain and interior into. I'm finding some good candidates; but, some don't have TEMS. I want to keep the TEMS and was wondering if anyone has ever put TEMS in a...

Hey everyone! Well, we had an abnormal amount of rainfall here in Tri-Cities yesterday. My car hydroplaned at 35mph after coming out of a 25mph 90 degree turn. I did a 180, jumped a curb, hit a tree, slid across some grass and hit a parked cargo type truck. Needless to say...my near perfect...

Does anyone elses car do this? Also the rpm's will drop slightly. No known electrical issues by the way... :sarcasm:

Has anyone had an MK3 stolen? My buddy's 300ZX Twin Turbo just got stolen last night and that got me thinking. Is our MK3 stock anti theft adequate? What have y'all done in addition to the factory system? I was thinking about a removable steering wheel, or 'The Club' (which is iffy), pedal...

I'm getting conflicting information on this; but, what I want to know is when you upgrade the sway bars, do you HAVE to upgrade the endlinks? I have been told that if you DON'T upgrade the endlinks, that the rear pot metal/plastic OEM ones will break and that if you DO upgrade the endlinks...
