After buying a MK3 that was "clean" and near mint condition... to find out it was about to have a lot of major issues, I have a few suggestions... 1. there are 2 doors in the hatch area. when looking into the hatch, the one on the left is the first one I open. Put your arm in there and feel the...

Wideband is a pretty cheap thing to run. I almost skipped it on mine, but very glad I have it now. I am planning on going standalone later on, but I have the same mods as you are listing and did a thread that has a lot of discussion regarding this that you may find helpful...

If the price is right, I would think your still okay, just not "as good"? Even though I love the 7M (cause Im stuck with it.. lol), I am so jealous of you guys doing these...

Yeah, Felpro will do you and definitely is all the symptoms of a headgasket. My 90 just did the exact same thing about 3 weeks ago. Pulled the head, checked everything out and if I was keeping the car, there's no way I wouldn't have decked the block, rebuilt the head and done metal with ARP...

Yep... very difficult to get through. My EGR had a leak which was cooking the hose behind it. I would take a peek at the EGR as well. Gasket leak on the EGR is not very noticeable without really looking at it. My hose was falling apart as well (the EGR cloth shielded one)

I have a spare actually that I was thinking about putting a sunroof in...

The last ones were selling for 174.00 shipped I believe.

Ahhh... Your going the other way. I missed that... Now I feel stupid... Lol

I have done reading, but have no experience with a NA-T build on a 7M. From what I understand, if your running a CT26 you will need an to build the oil lines. You will also have to install the second knock sensor to use a 7MGTE ECU to time it correctly. (I think its just drilling/tapping but not...

142 psi is your compression on a 7MGTE if I remember.. 128 is minimum... with no variance of more than 14 psi between cylingders... I would be a little alarmed at your compression numbers personally... seems like something isn't quite right. Of course.. no idea if it was your tester or not. and...

No, I think your seeing it a bit wrong. Both go to the heater core inlet, however one is a bypass. So I think the arrows make it look funny. Two hoses run to the inlet, one house comes from the outlet. (pretty sure I am correct on that). The water goes to the heatercore, but if the heater core...

^^ good daily laugh at that one..

Good pic of the baby though.. looks just like I did when I found my car.. :P on a different note.. grandchild #4 is entering the world tonight. Im having fun with my daughter... who'd a thought you could text your daughter while she is in labor....

dont have the new 57trim off the car yet, the 60-1 doesnt have any play at all. Looks very solid. Gotta say.. Aaron at Driftmotion is a good guy to deal with. Just got off the phone with him (he called me at 10:00 pm my time... how many people would do that?). We got it all sorted out on the...

That should be a bypass hose for when the heater is turned off. The water goes into the heater, however, if your vsv is working correctly, when you have the temp turned down, it bypasses the heater and returns to behind the water pump through the thermostat housing (where it either goes back to...

Im afraid to answer now...

Bit the bullet and ordered the DM intercooler kit (the "new" version). Hoping its a simple install and I dont have to move things all over the car. Would hate to put the rad overflow in front of the headlight and the AC compressor under the tranny (joking)... Wondering if anyone has used this...

I will post here when I get the results of what the issue is. Should be mid week...

ah, but when my engine is warm.. it smokes at idle as well for a few seconds.. so I think it is getting a lot of oil passing through while under pressure. I do know its common for boosted cars to have the puff after a high pressure run (especially on the dyno) and it can be normal, however, mine...
