    MK3 suspension guide

    Progressive RS*R springs and Koni yellows. I'd rather have linear rate springs but the ride and stance is good. Pretty moderate drop and level. Avoid Tokico Blues like the plague!! 17s and 235/45s

    "Ten Tips For Fearless Flying" (how to speed)

    We actually got "hit" in a transition zone that goes from 55 to 45 and down to 40, where he made the stop. If anyone thinks it's bad now, just wait for the USDOTs Intelligent Transportation Sytems to ramp up. http://www.its.dot.gov/vii/vii_concept.htm There's already a lot of...

    "Ten Tips For Fearless Flying" (how to speed)

    Pretty good guidance. The main thing is being alert ALL OF THE TIME. I just got my first ticket where I knew I was speeding (didn't know a uhaul was limited to 60 in cali :thumbsdow ) last week. I was being lazy in trailing a speeding pack in an area where EVERYONE speeds and see a stater...

    S3 Short Shifter?

    I bought mine when they were first produced and it's a high quality part...at least back then. It's pretty much stock height but the throw is much shorter. I actually forgot I had one till I saw this post. :sonic:

    Adjust throttle cable for accelerator feel?

    I think you are just being too easy on the adjustment fasteners. You know what needs to be adjusted but you haven't broken the fasteners loose. Your first pic shows the easiest adjustment location.

    Shocking story

    Dryer, ionized air causing static buildup as you get out of the car. That is a major cause of gas station pump fires. Be careful.

    Gas War Join The Resistance!!!!

    I'd like to comment on these companies. Once upon a time there was a company called Standard Oil, owned by the Rockefeller family (which was bankrolled by the Rothschilds). The govt. forced standard oil to be broken up into seven different companies. The ones that still exist are now...

    What color should I paint my engine bay?

    Grey is the way to go if you want good visibility but not too much reflectivity. matching the rest of the car is good too.

    Centralia

    Good thing nobody will miss me. I got pulled out of a pack of 55 in a 45 speeders and discovered my insurance has expired. The supe is parked until I get things straight. I'm pretty fucking bummed out. I had been looking forward to this meet for a while after last year's meet. Oh, well. :wtc:

    Is this one of those "just off base" used car lots?

    about 1'' of throttle freeplay

    I have the same issue. I've adjusted mine as much as the factory bits can go and there is still some slop. I haven't done anything more than the linkage adjustment but I'm wondering if there is something at the pedal that can be inspected. Is the cable stretched? I almost think the rhd...

    Aftermarket Sway bar endlinks

    Aren't the parts for these type of assemblies dirt cheap and fairly accessable? For some reason I remember a friend throwing together a set of rear adjustable toe-links for his AW11 for next to nothing and wasn't steeply 'mechanically inclined'. I am :nuts: so I could be way off base.

    cylinder head porting theories... and such

    You would be correct if there wasn't combustion going on in the engine. The intake charge itself represents a small percentage of the energy involved. Fuel is the the major contributor. IIRC, even on big turbos you won't see a 1:1 intake/exhaust pressure ratio but the bigger the turbine...

    cylinder head porting theories... and such

    The turbine housing a/r is the restriction that determines exhaust manifold pressure and exhaust velocities onto the turbine. I think opening the exhaust ports would be greatly beneficial. You'd have to be conservative enough to maintain functional reversion dams though.
