    Oil pump drive shaft failure.

    Sounds like the thrust washer in your transmission quit. As for the OP, I have seen this happen a few times. Not exactly sure what caused it, but now we tend to use new oil pump DS from the dealer. Thats what I plan to do to my motor.

    New Setup Finished and Installed, LOTS OF PICS!

    Wastegate placement could be a little off. Manifold looks partially divided, and the wastegate mainly feeds off the rear 3 runners. Could cause boost creep at higher boost levels.

    R154 trans install question

    Telling the previous person to stop talking, yet you claim to need needle nose pliers to install the clutch fork?? The pin stays in the fork, the fork and pin come out of the pivot. I think you're doing it wrong. OP, can it be done, outside the car yes. Is it worth the extra effort, not a...

    Another one bites the dust

    I have "walked" away from worse. The MKIII is a extremely well built car, trust me I know. I will not post pics. Looking at it, she was probably ok as long as she was wearing her seatbelt. They DO work.

    Tubbed Supra

    305/35/18 fit with a 10" wheel and the right offset. PM 2JZMK3 He attempted to fit 28x10.50 and they rub the coilover, and I believe he tried everything under the sun....

    brake pad recomendations

    I have axis and they work, but with slotted rotors my silver wheels become a bronze/gunmetal color within 200 miles of driving.

    Hats off to Poodles or grinding noise when clutch pedal is pressed

    Recent auto to 5-speed swap? One of the shop cars was fine till we put in a 5-speed. And with a stock pressure plate they went bad in a hurry. Not 100% sure on the swap being the cause but the timing was right for it.

    Boost Gauge in PSI

    Greddy makes one, I have one in my car, would prefer one in bar though.

    Gauge lights not working....

    OK, a lot of times people will install an aftermarket radio and the gauge lights stop working. There is a white wire with a green stripe in the stock radio harness that needs to have power when the lights are on. Also, if the cigarette lighter does not have a good ground, the lights won't work...
