    Turbo boost gauge on na cluster, how to make it work.

    I put this here because I figure this is where most of the na to turbo people would look for the fix, and where the people who have done the conversion and still don't have a working boost gauge. Sorry if its in the wrong place or a repost,but I could not find the info anywhere. Maybe it can...

    New CF-Hood for MKIII

    Yea I was guaranteed a perfect fit when I ordered my body kit, and what I got was a one inch gap behind the driver door and a 1 3/4" gap on the passenger side door. Everything else fit perfect it was just cast wrong, the company did not want to do anything about it besides have me send them...

    Led turn signals I am making different setups tell me what you think.

    Well I can't seem to get any night pics of these. For some reason my camera really does not like it on any setting I try except with the flash on. I was messing with these for so long trying to get a pic I forgot about getting pics of the running lights. Anyways to keep the progress going I...

    Led turn signals I am making different setups tell me what you think.

    Yep need one of those still. I am getting some more electronics to make some more pwm for the dimers and the regulators too. I make the pcb out of bread board and just solder the joints with high tin solder, its a pain to work with but very strong when it cools, just gotta make sure to do it...

    My florida trip turned into a free project!!!!! UPDATED WITH PICS!!!

    For the purple/pink interior I think your best bet is going to be spend the coin and get some seats from either http://www.katzkin.com/ or http://www.leatherseats.com/. You might be able to bleach the floor white then dye it, judging by the white spots on Michees rear carpet that I would...

    MK3 Gif

    I made a model and rotation sequence for the Garmins and made this gif just figured I would post it for people. The small one is my avatar. The rims suck but I had to change them because the normal ones were too busy for the Garmin to display right. But I will get a better full render later...

    White smoke and missing,,sounds like it's camin. ??

    Nope the waste spark system sparks on both if you take one off they both still spark so only the cyl you took the wire off will have a miss, and if it does not miss then you know that is one of the problem ones and you can focus on that. See if you can find out which ones are missing then shut...

    Racing Seats

    When I bought my parts car the kid had put some 3A Racing seats in the car. He got the universal sliders that need to be welded/riveted/bolted to the normal sliders. So instead of doing that he used the universal ones. He put a bolt through the floor and a 2 inch washer on the bottom side...

    Just returned

    When I first got my car it had been sitting for 3 years, I changed the oil and coolant and drove the hell out of it ahaha. I was not worried about it though, if the motor went I would just replace it. It did not have any dry rot on the tires but they did have flat spots, a few burnouts fixed...

    Cant seem to find the integration relay

    I had the same problem a few weeks ago on my wifes car, and did the same thing, swapped a ir from my parts car and no good, still didn't get the lights to come on. I tested the lights in my car and they were fine so I swapped the IR and they worked, the relay in both my wifes and the parts car...

    Who has removed a steering rack or tie rod and how did you do it?

    I have a 3lb hammer, looks like a mini sledge with a 18" handle. Even with it you need to hit it very hard a few times. And I mean full force beat the crap out of it kind of swing, not too had when its on a lift, but I can imagine on the ground it would be hard to get enough force into the...

    Carbon Fiber

    My worry about two layer cf targa would be the structural strength, cf targa is probably gonna be pretty flexible (in relative terms). The normal targa is heavy because it supports the car a lot. I would just be afraid with the cf part the body would flex like it does with the targa off, and...

    SupraMania: What Do Yo Do? Who Are You In Life?

    :icon_bigg I was thinking the exact same thing. I started off working in my parents' businesses in the summers. We had a few go kart tracks, movie theater, and a mini golf course. Then worked for my dads drywall company during and after high school for a total of 6 years. After buying some...

    absolutely no compression???

    I have to replace the schrader valve in mine every 20th car or so I do. More often if I do a lot of wet compression tests. You can use a schrader from a tire but you will want to get one that is nickel.

    White smoke and missing,,sounds like it's camin. ??

    Easiest test for the hg is going to be get a cyl leak down tester, hook it up to the cyls one at a time with the radiator cap off, if the hg is bad you should get bubbles in the coolant when the air is on on the tester. Really you can just hook a compression tester fitting to an air compressor...
