I would be careful with the street racing I know in Florida its automatically going to the crusher if you get caught. Nice kills though.

Yikes.. How many ft lbs/tq you putting out? Have you looked at the marlin crawler r154? It would be cheaper too just rebuild the r154+cryo treat and possible forms of shot peening. Although the v160 is proven performer there are probably some cheaper alternatives.

Sounds like your harness is in pretty rough shape, if it is that bad might be better to start from scratch with all new wires as opposed to trying a equally old harness and hoping nothing is bad with that one. Also if your running a cat that miss will eventually melt it. Keep in mind that if...

I was actually at the car show although I missed your dyno run, that motor doesn't sound like it needs a rebuild to me. Unless it's seen some serious abuse.

That looks like lots of tedious work, but it turned out awesome man congrats.

Sadly that's probably one of the perks in your area and your just going to have to deal. The reality is being young myself that there are a lot of kids buying up old asian imports and "tuning" them or ruining them whichever you prefer, who go out doing stupid shit in them and getting in trouble...

congrats on getting your car back!

Pretty cool stuff will be interesting to see how this unfolds.

Those 1uz's sound awesome.

Turbo your car sounds like a diesel truck at idle in that video, love it damn nice sound.

I wouldn't diagnose something completely without seeing it apart first. You should get the cover off and pics of whats going on inside before you take it apart, There are people here that I'm sure would be glad to help if you post some pics.

Yeah blue= heat = ruined, If you insist on using that rod atleast have it cryo treated to try and maintain some strength in it. Once a steel object has been overheated like that the temper, structure, and strength have all been changed and in this case I would consider that junk. I am no guru or...

Mine was apparently being daily driven when I bought it, though why I don't know. Either way I learned a valuable lesson.. Now to fixing it...... :cry:

Yeah I made that same mistake except no snow, just lack of experience and an old abused car. Mine will be sitting till I fix everything and make it actually road worthy again.

mk3* appears to have quite a bit of angle, I have to agree with everyone else in trying to change the suspension set up to macpherson would just be a step backwards. Are you already drifting the car? My first concern would probably be good coilover's and bigger brakes

You might want to try and find some info on the carbon hatch from carbon creations. I'm just guessing but I would think that the stock one is fairly heavy and photo's of carbon creations one appears to be a direct mold of the factory item. But I haven't seen one in person so don't take my word...

Damn that is looking pretty good, there needs to be a florida meet.

Congrats to both of you on getting your cars together and out to the track. a couple more upgrades and I think that 7m will do even better

Yup I figured that out took care of it that day, just thought it was funny. oops see you were talking to the other guy

lol my radiator light came on the other day and I was like wth a bird cage?
