    What can I do with 2k?

    I spent over 7k just on OEM replacement parts and an engine rebuild but pretty much every engine and suspension party on the car is new. I still have more to do though.

    Crank wont turn after installing engine

    It took me so long to install my engine that by the time I moved it from the stand to the car the rings had lots lubrication. I obviously didnt put enough oil on the rings. So, Anyways, I filled up the cylinders with oil and I let it sit for a week, rocking on the crank with a breaker bar every...

    Wheel Spacers

    25mm H&R spacers on stock 90 wheels here. These spacers bolt to the hub and then provide a second set of studs. It might need a roll but I've gone over speed bumps pretty fast with no problems yet on coilovers.

    Pics from UC Irvine car show yesterday. There were more MKIIIs there, I will try to get some pictures of them later. I have more pictures, but, its just me parked at work or school.

    265s on my Sawblades

    I think they might both be yours since yours were in better condition than mine. But I was moving them all around since I have so many now :icon_razz

    265s on my Sawblades

    Well, I wanted to get some new rear tires that were stickier than the 225s I was using. So, I got some 265/45/16 Kumho Ecsta XS. So far they feel pretty good. I might do the same in front if it fits fine with the steering.

    10.5 inch wide wheels on MA70?

    10.5" Mustang Wheels? Those offsets sound like mustang offsets. I looked into that and I decided against it. I think its possible but your tire might be sticking out of the fender. Those replica wheels are cheap anyways so just go for it if you really want to run big tires.

    I don't really want to sell them, and if I did my price would be unreasonably expensive. I don't want to list their price as some huge number and seem like a jerk, because I know they are not worth as much as I would have to be paid to part with them. So, I appreciate your interest, but, I don't...

    TRD Parts for MKIII

    I don't think I could sell them. I think my asking price would be too unreasonable. Although, Seeing a $1,200 TRD Steering wheel kind of brings my price more into perspective since I feel that the cams are much more valuable and rare that the Steering Wheel.

    TRD Parts for MKIII

    I thought I did too but then I could not get them to idle at all. I did not degree the cams so, this is my fault. At stock settings I had 0 vacuum at idle, and, playing with the cam gears I got it running, but, the idle was very rough. **brump bruummp brummp** So, now I am on stock cams...

    TRD Cams I got from from GReddy USA/Japan manager. They are sitting in my closet right now... List if about1.5mm higher than stock. Duration is larger but not measured. Supposedly they are rebranded HKS. But, I am not so sure. TRD USA denys making them, and they probably are right, I don't...

    Whats the best engineering field?

    Not really what you are looking for, but I'm going to say Computer Science. There's less math than a true Electrical Engineer, even I consider it less "legit". But I think it is a smart choice. I graduated with a Computer Science degree and I currently work for the Department of Defense as an...

    Ipod touch /Iphone question

    Are you trying to imply that Open Source Software is less secure than proprietary, specifically, Apple software? Furthermore, traditional viruses are not compiled for the iPhone so they will not infect it. That does not mean that someone could not mess up your system, but it won't happen from...

    aftermarket manifold

    stock one is good enough for most jobs. If you are going beyond what that can do you might as well get a custom one.

    Cooleeze?

    Here is a poor, incomplete, 1.3MP phone picture of the GReddy pipes It is one piece from the 3000 pipe to the fender, along with about 4 more pipes for the fender to intercooler and from turbo to intercooler. It follows the stock lines for the most part. It was repainted black from dark/ugly...
