    spec clutches

    I run a spec stage two. The clutch is stock like, with almost no added pedal pressure and no chatter. I have about 300 lb. feet of torque and it works fine. Breakin is critical, and I don't beat my car to death. You will get various opinons on this clutch. For lower power levels, I say thumbs up.

    What kinds of OEM head-units will fit the mkIII?

    I'm sorry, I should have made myself more clear. I take too much for granted. The unit I have in my car now uses a factory toyota amp, stock from the factory. The plugs were changed somewhere around 87. Mine is a 87 and I had used both types of radio's in my car, ext and int amps.

    What kinds of OEM head-units will fit the mkIII?

    That radio you have will be a plug and play in you're car without a amp. The original brackets will bolt right up. I have a 1996 Supra radio in mine, with the stock amp and only had to change one wire around to make the antenna work as it should. Mine will play all CD's. You're original antenna...

    In my standard trans I use redline MTL. For me it works very well, vehicle shifts very smooth and is quiet. Comes highly recomended. In the rear I use redline 75W90 gear lube.

    Rebuilding your own door locks with pictures

    Mine works just as above, Drivers side handle only on mine. As far as lubrication goes, WD 40 will work just fine, maybe a spray grease that applies thin. With the protective key door, you don't have to worry too much about dust and dirt, although 15-20 years of non lube can get the critical...

    engine restore additive?

    Yea, I used it about ten years ago. I used it in my old, worn out, 480B Case backhoe. The engine ran fine but smoked like hell. After I used the stuff it still smoked like hell. I still have that machine, still runs good and still smokes like hell.

    engine restore additive?

    Spend you're money on a lottery ticket. At least that way you will have some fun and a chance to win. Don't put that crap in you're car if you have any love for it, unless it's just a junker, then put 50 weight in it.
