Within the last 3 or 4 days, I've noticed a chemical-like smell inside the car after it has been turned off. It's difficult to describe, but almost like a paint/fuel mixture. I have had the heat on while driving and as long as the car is turned on I don't notice the smell. However, once I turn...
I've dropped my transmission to have it rebuilt, but also because I thought the seal was leaking. It appears that it is not. So should I replace it anyhow as the one thats in there is NOT a Toyota seal? Or should I leave it? I don't want to distrub it if its seated fine, but at the same time I...
This was really the first time I drove the car hard after the engine swap was complete.

Anyone have this combination? Here is the kit I'm using:
I'm trying to get the 1-piece pipe from the intercooler to the turbo connected, but just can't make it fit. Here is the pipe I'm referring to:
I know there are a couple people using this kit. If you have this combo, please...
Anyone know the part number for the part labelled as "ECU Coolant Sensor" in the pic below. For some reason I can't find it in the TSRM. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong section! :dunno:
I snapped mine and need to replace it.
Thanks in advance!

Well I figure it's about time I do something to speed up my car. I've owned my MKIII for close to 5 years now. I currently have upgraded the suspension to HSD coilovers and a full 3" catback exhaust. After doing the exhaust swap, I felt instant power gain. The car felt way more responsive, but...

Finally got to the Dyno after the exhaust upgrade.
Different Dyno. This was done on a Dyno Dynamics machine. Ambient temp was around 18C.
First run: 185.4HP
Second run: 188.3HP...
I searched and didn't quite find a thread that had highlighted the same issue I'm having.
I can't depress my clutch pedal at all. The car won't crank because of this. Does this seem to be a hydraulic issue? I'm thinking it's more along the lines of the clutch fork or something! :confused...
I was heading east along I-94 near Portage on my way home from Chicago. Saw a beautiful black MKIII (I think it was an 89+) going the opposite way. Figured the owner would be on here. Nice ride! :aigo:
Hey All,
I had my car on the dyno for the first time. I mean, I knew I wasn't making the stock 232HP, but damn. I was really disappointed.
It is completely stock with the exception of an AMSOIL intake filter.
I was getting a lot of burnt oil coming from what seemed the turbo and...

Hello All,
Name is Ron. Been looking around the forum for different topics. Finally registered just the other day. I own an 89 MKIII. It's pretty much stock except for the tires/rims and the clear corners c/o Raptor Racing. Plan to do a lot more. Here are a couple pics:
