    88 Blue Turbo restoration/upgrade story

    Honestly I may just run around the neighborhood and find some guys to help out. I'll prob need 3 other guys since I'm gonna steer it =D. Not gonna lie, most of the freinds I know here in Austin are little asian sorority girls... not much help. Plus it's hard to lure them out to a lonely...

    88 Blue Turbo restoration/upgrade story

    This little piece has 1/8th npt threads and 9.5mm (3/8ths) tube fittings. The site (poweredbymax or gtfactory.jp) lists these as fuel pressure sender adapter fittings. Can I use this for temp sensors for my trans line? or do temp sensors need different fittings than pressure sensors? If I can...

    I don't think pulling will work... the incline is up to the garage, so whatever is doing the pulling will have to be beyond the garage in the house. LOL. I'll def have someone in the driver seat working the brakes and steering. I'll use plenty of padding, I'm just concerned the Lexus will slide...

    Thanks guys!! LOL. But now I have issues. Landlady reeeeally wants her half of the garage, which I find amusing because if she does park in the garage, her car is going to be all up in my way when I work on my car... and there's no room for her car and mine and two transmissions and an engine...

    I decided not to use the stock cooler, mainly because a friend told me I would never be able to get it clean enough to use with the PS system and not ruin the pump. LOL. Im going to put my engine oil cooler between (more on top of) the IC and AC condenser, and get another B&M cooler of smaller...

    Things are coming together pretty nicely (except my landlady now wants to charge me $200 a month to use the garage. fuck that). But I just got a novel idea, let's see what ya'll think. I am having a hard time finding a good spot to put my B&M super cooler for engine oil. It's too big to put in...

    Ishihara Johnson Scrapers

    Has anyone dealt with them before?? Or has heard of recent problems? I ordered a 6M crankshaft for my rebuild a month ago via phone. He told me he had one but needed to double check it if it was a 6M or 7M. He said he went ahead and milled one out when I emailed him about them a couple weeks...

    Painted sawblades thread post up pics of your stock mk3 wheels painted

    Actually... not nearly that complicated. Once you strip off the factory silver paint, all that is needed is some mothers aluminum polish to shine them up, for the accents, I used duplicolor black wheel paint. Wipe a little wd-40 on the polished face taking care not to get ANY on the surfaces...

    Painted sawblades thread post up pics of your stock mk3 wheels painted

    IMO, the best look for sawblades. Accentuate the angles and match the polished metal wit super rare metal capped centercaps.
