This forum is fast response/wise. Common sense usually cleans out wrong answers. I would ask who is near where you actually live and see if they can be of some help. Generally speaking though, you could rebuild your car bumper to bumper with good photos and properly asked questions without a...

10 psi (if doable without fuel cut) is okay on a stocker just by shimming the wastegate to achieve it. Depends on your altitude really and overall engine condition. But is there a number for a healthy 7MGTE that is built for the stock boost only (aka, rebuilt without thought given to 500+ HP)...

I think the question is.. how many PSI can you throw at a stock 7MGTE before your risking the engine integrity. Im curious as well as I have a rebuilt 7MGTE (built stock though with a non-OEM, non-metal headgasket (cant recall, but I think its Cometic). Im running a 57 Trim with 550 injectors...

Well.. from the discussion side, I doubt I have to worry much.. : ) The only time it would affect anything is if someone stateside wanted to by my car. I dont hear much about US people buying Canadian cars though.. could be the road salt makes the car a bit too light.

Was just saying so that you were walking in with your eyes wide open. I know of two people who talked like you are right now until they got hit with their first true bill. Just don't want you to go in thinking it was easy or cheap because its neither.., but it is a joy to ride in a mk3 knowing...

I think he meant $$. To stop web scrapers from grabbing your phone number... write out the last 4 numbers... zero five seven nine...

Many people have sunk a lot of money into these cars (myself included). Don't spend a penny if your thinking of selling for a profit. Your not going to get your money out of the car. I have seen well over 25,000 in a car selling for 8000. If your going to do the work thats all fine. However...

I just put HSD's on my 88 MK3.. (havent drove it yet). Mine are monotube, but there is a second design thats not.

Holy crap. I still have mine, just didnt think it was worth more than maybe 10.00

If your getting a 3" exhaust.. I just walked that walk... As long as your not looking for cheapo china ebay stuff... contact George at Raptor Racing (approved vendor here). I just got a downpipe from him (integrated elbow, divorced wastegate tube reintegrated). Top quality part. Would have done...

Budgets are for people who dont dream : ) (or have a fussy wife)

Raptor Racing's DP has the elbow integrated with a divorced wastegate tube (reintegrated). Perfect for my 57 trim plus it has the second bung already. Full 3" with a flex pipe and I think the test pipe is welded in. It looks like the inside is ceramic coated as well. Very nice piece of work...

Generally, Im good to go then. Again.. I was asking out of "heresay" and just wondered. I plan on going through Nevada (hopefully for SILV if its still running) and then heading down to Sanfran (I have relatives in that area) and then along the coast. Would really like to drop into Kaizen as...

Okay.. I understand obeying the laws of the land, however, I was questioning more of a "policing" stand point. I have heard that they have cameras/guns or w/e that can sense if there is a cat in the exhaust by doing a thermoprint of your car. Generally speaking, if I am driving through...

not sure how that ties in.. lol. but no. However, enviro laws may affect non-citizens indirectly. For instance... you cannot insure your car without getting your car "air-cared" in BC. In Alberta.. we dont have that yet. I can drive in BC legally... but I can't kill anyone without the police...

Wondering why you wouldn't stay 7M... depending on how bad the headgasket is.. it may be a lot cheaper. You should pull the head before you buying a 2j.. just to see what the condition of the engine is. If your not beating the hell out of a 7M.. and the manifolds/head/etc.. isn't cracked, warped...

I just thought of something.. and was wondering... I am planning on going through from Alberta .. to Nevada.. and to Calif... next summer or the following one. My car is about to get the cat deleted. Can the police actually touch my car if I am running catless with a Canadian plate? (Im...

Are you talking about the clear faceplate over the gauges? I have seen CF and brushed aluminum plates.. I have also seen CF covers for the bottom of the dash as well as the console, console insert and console lid. Not sure if they are still being made, but they do exist.

^^^ my wife keeps reminding me that for the money I could have a "better" car. The only way I agree with her is that you can only fit 2 people in this beast (comfortably) and I look at it more than I drive it... (A rust free car is not normal in Canada) The stupidest thing I probably did was to...

back in the day... I used to cover dashes with velvet... vinyl.. leather.. Naugahyde (you know.. the diamond stitched kind... or maybe you dont.. cause thats old school). You can actually nicely upholster a dash pad, although I would never do it to my MK3. (okay.. if it had a big crack, I would...
