Well, roughly putt, it's worth about half a year of my sallary. For some people here even a whole year. Money isn't the real isue here. It's all about satisfaction. I don't regret any money spent on that thing. On the side note, it's not that big sum of money. If you try to distribute it over...

Over two and a half years i thrown about 11000 lt, that's about 4500 usd, in my mk3. That's including simple needed repairs and another 7m with all the work.

What a coinsidence. Tuesday, at work, one of my mechanics stuck a finger in a truck turbo. The result was pretty much the same. Just a different finger.

One project mk3 and another for DD would satisfy me completly.

Personaly 0 and not planing to reach number 1. My friend had three mk3's. One is a project now. Two were gutted, sold for parts. One shell went to scrap, another one got stolen(interesting why).

I know that, but sometimes i can't help it :) Feet are moving on their own :)

I'm 29. From the moment i started driving, i was driving grandma style and very cautios. As the years passed, i switced to more powerfull and more "drivers cars" ewery year. Also, gained experience to control them. Now, i still drive easy, but there a times when i blank out my mind and take my...

Mine's 92 and 160404.

I've never seen one with PSI around here. All are Kg/cm. Maybe PSI is only in USA?

I'm betting on the valves. Or maybe, there's smth we forgot to tighten when we swaped engines. Later i will post a vid on the cold engine. it's more noticeble then. I don't think it's a r/k. It's not the same noise as i heard on other r/k's. Well, maybe it's a start of r/k. Time will tell.

The condition of the engine was/is unknown. I'm not thinking about overhaulin it even if it's a r/k. I have another engine, almost completely finished overhauled, sitting in the garage. Just wanted some other opinions regarding the engine noises.

All the gaskets on the exhaust related components are new. A few monts old. I'm pretty sure that the ticking is from the engine. My old engine did not tick. The new(swaped) one - does. Anyway, no big deal, apart from ticking, ewerything esle is fine. I will be running this engine only untill i...

Similar issue here. The ticking is loudest on start up. When it warms up a little it almost goes away. I'm hearing it a bit on acceleration. Still not sure from where exactly it comes from. I'm betting on the valves. As soon as they will be adjusted, i can confirm or decline that.

Bought a full Taiho bottom bearing set, piston rings and a gasket set. Now i can assemble the bottom end and the head, untill i'm waiting for mhg.

You need to adapt and try to find solutions that works for you personally. Some solutions may not be acceptable for others. By the way, on the same note, i found a full bottom bearing set, piston rings and a full gasket set for 550lt (about 200 dollars). Japan products. It shows that you just...

They exist all over the world:). Even in my population of 3 000 000 country there are pleanty of them. In my 200 000 people city there are 7 of them, but only two are running, including mine :)

You would be surprised to see what cars were/are built here :). People learn to improvise and solve problems in their own ways. Believe me, there are a lot of properly built cars here. For example, one of my friends is building 500hp 7m powered mk3 for drift. There are other friends with many...

I'm talking about the difference in salary and prices. For example, my monthly salary is about 800 dollars and that's considered somewhere average salary here. There are people that receive only 300 dollars a month. I'm giving you numbers in dollars, because giving numbers in my curency wont say...

So true, but even that doesn't lower your love for supra.
