For what it's worth, I emailed Shine about two weeks ago too then never heard back but I placed an order anyway for rear add-ons. They shipped right away and I should have them early next week.

Well this response doesn't seem promising so far... :(

I'm in!

Today... today I backed it out of the garage! The sonofabitch runs! Months of work, new pistons, new bearings, etc... all by my lonesome in the garage... still have quite the mess to clean up and a ton more assembly... maybe another 100 hours or so of work and I can drive it around with the...

Thanks! Nope, it's a turbo, I should've used a pic that showed it's sexier side :) Still just the puny stock ct-26 for now tho...

After months of setbacks and delays and trials and tribulations I've finally got something in my engine bay! I need to get this thing running now that spring has finally sprung!

Well up until a week or so ago you could add the MKIII parts to your cart etc... now the parts are still listed but you can't add them to a cart

I've been dragging my feet for months planning to order from Shine in the spring, now it looks like none of the MKIII parts on their site are being sold anymore? Crap! Are they done for good with the MKIII?

These are the ones I run, not exactly top of the line but they work fine and fixed the misfire I was having with my old wires... and they come in under $66... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000IY8OJ2

I have a bunch of automotive books and a few books that focus on "engine building" blue printing, that sort of stuff, good stuff to know... But from what I've found, as said above, the best books to get for our cars are the official TSRM and EWDs and then rely on these boards for specifics...

That's the company I bought my new carpet from this past spring. I went with black plush-pile with mass-backing and also got the trunk-piece too. Honestly, it was really really easy to replace. I'd heard so many people say what a pain it is to replace the carpet that I went in dreading it...

I didn't get those particular pieces but I did get my shift & e-brake boots and center console from that seller and I'm quite happy with the quality. I re-covered those panels you're looking at (as well as the other 2 in the back seat and the headliner) myself using spray adhesive and a roll of...

Not that it matters but the rings aren't broken, in fact I even used the one you see in the picture to check my ring gaps on that cylinder (they're within spec) --- The big question is WHY did the ring land break? I know I had a couple of runs while setting up the maft pro where my AFRs went...

Even with that type of filter the IACV is loud as hell... I'm going to figure something else out when the current rebuild is done because the sound is crazy annoying...

One thing I've learned over my years lurking on Supramania is to never doubt IJ... Until I pulled the rings off I didn't notice this, busted ringland on piston #6. The cylinder walls look good, no vertical scratches so I don't think it was busted for all that long... ugh... forget rings, now I...

Yeah, IAC... no real reason, I was going to be replacing the accordion hose with a hard-pipe, never got around to finishing the job... the last couple of months have consisted of me "trying things out" in anticipation of the current re-do of my previous half-assed build... I'll shoot DM an...

I haven't checked the gaps yet because I haven't wanted to pull the rings off the pistons yet. The pistons/rings are 1.00mm oversized NPRs and so far I haven't been able to find a source for that size ring for OEM style pistons. (Except for ones from some company called DNJ that are sold thru...

Yep, you did! And I was right on when I said that there were no intentional PCV mods :) I'd already planned on tearing the engine down anyway, and it's a good thing I did, my crankshaft thrustwasher was all smashed to hell and I had over 2mm of thrust in the crank... I blame the...

Well since I did say I'd come back with an update here I am. Thankfully the pistons/rings/cylinders all look really good, no damage and there was no oil on top of the pistons when I removed the head... The only problem I might have found is that the hose going from the cam cover to the block...
