    Using the ABS sensor on the auto in place of the No2 speed sensor?

    One of the best reasons to find an alternate VSS is that the signal from the instrument cluster on MKIII's is very noisy and nearly unusable for any extra features with standalone ECU's. Launch control, traction control, 2 step etc. A very clean signal can be obtained by leeching onto the ABS...

    ok, the 1st three have been identified, but number 4 is still not guessed correctly.

    But check you CPS wiring while your in there and make sure it hasn't gotten to crispy over time. Other wise I agree with Kai.

    Whoa whoa. I was unaware of the other member already offering them. I respectfully step back and point you in his direction. For anything but the billet ones anyways.

    Well talk to me in a week or two. Got my cnc running last night fully. So even a billet aluminium one would be possible. Vinyl I could do easily whenever you wish really. Give me a few days to put this idea through my thinker some.

    You'll drop more than 200 pounds with the few things you listed right there man. Stock seats are heavy heavy heavy, although if I rememnber correctly they were rated some of the safest seats in on the market at the time they came out. Crashbar? Do you mean front bumper? Don't do it man, just...

    I got smoked by a neon on the track one night. The guy did a 10.2. Apparently this girl in the crowd. No idea who said loud enough for my buddy to hear nearby..."Well the supra might have lost but I he can go and find a girl to take home in his car...." Never did catch up to that girl, shame...

    You CAN keep the interior AND drop major poundage off these cars much more easily than most people would ever realize. You gotta be smart about it AND not be stupid and completely drop important keep you alive things like say the steel parts of the bumpers. Be smart replace em with SS tubing for...

    What Is Unique About Your MK3???

    I've seen this spedo in your car and man it's SWEEEET, Jeff wouldn't look away long enough for me to switch it out with the old one real quick. Let's not forget the absolutely stunning exhaust system your car has got that Jeff's brother at epic welding made for ya. That's a one off of truely...

    I've run every combo, No burnout normal pressure 13.8ish, burnout normal pressure (improved my trap/time over no burnout but a fair amount each time 13.5ish) No burnout low pressure (20-25psi tire pressure) 13.2ish, Burnout low pressure 12.89-12.92...not ish, LOL. I would make note that my...

    Smoke cloud after boost run.

    My vote is for valve stem seals OR Turbo seals. Or both. Neither is particularly harmful but very annoying, provided you don't let your oil run low. It'll get worse over time as well.

    New time 11.81 @ 117 CT26 powered 7M NEW RECORD!!!

    Thats the funny part. No I don't. Between a slippy clutch and poor traction. And admittedly not being the best drag racer in the universe my time for that trap was a miserable 12.9. I'll try to dig out the slip for the other details. But I am pleased with my trap as I think it shows the...

    I also used to believe that doing a burnout on street tires was pointless or of little effect. After doing so though, I can tell you I could not have been more wrong. Street tires do in fact benefit massively from a good and proper burnout just before a run. The only other thing that made as...

    Intercooler, whats best?

    Additionall I found a interesting calculation utility webpage that spits out some interesting data that is frankly above my head. Perhaps a wiser person can check it out and let us know what they think. http://dairally.net/daihard/chas/MiscCalculators/DaiPipes.htm (on second glance it appears...

    Intercooler, whats best?

    I am happy with the change to 3" pipes and also notice no additional lag at all. I also lucked out and ended up with the exact same distance from the turbo to intercooler (hot side) and intercooler to TB (cold side). Not sure if having them equal is of any benefit at all but thought it kinda...
