    Operation Clean Engine bay

    Do you know how many stories there are about HKS filters getting sucked into the turbo? IMO get the Apex'i Power Intake. Best filtration and looks "pretty" too.

    ***Centralia Spring Meet & Greet - May 3rd***

    Hopefully my head gasket might be enjoying life again (or still enjoying life) by May. I'll push the car there if it's not finished by then.

    High Pressure head gaskets, valve seats, and posi-grip clutches oh my!

    ...And I don't see why you're so strongly standing up for it. It's an incredibly clean Mkiii with sick wheels and gauges, and probably other mods. You're right, in my opinion, a guy with 650 rwhp can paint his car hot pink with wood side paneling and it'll still be pretty sick. We're just makin...

    "boost adj to 20 psi w/ boost and air/fuel gauges" Dude I need to find some of those gauges that adjust your boost FOR you. Ultra JDM tizzyte, I'll tell you what. Guaranteed this guy is gettin about 200 hp back there to his "custom" wheels. It might have felt like 625 rwhp when he was...

    Throw some C's on that bitch (coilovers) and go anyway. /stupid joke. Everyone knows you can't slide a stock IS300.:sarcasm:

    engine thumping

    If you think something's hitting the oil pan and don't think it's the harmonic balancer being loose, don't run it anymore and start on the swap...

    fun times

    Have you gone through the 5+ heat cycles and/or 500 miles (debatable on the mileage), and the retorque? This probably isn't the best idea if you haven't.

    Well, I went to the track last night... again

    Probably somewhere upwards of ~8k.

    Driveshafts

    :aigo::runaway: Your e-brake cable cut through your driveshaft? Wow, how many times does the average person get to say that during their lifetime.

    hp gains?

    Some people like p/s, some people don't. I'd probably kill myself if I had to steer my tank of a Mkiii in parking lots without p/s, but when you're moving faster than 1/2 a MPH, it's not that big of a deal. As for a/c, if you have a targa you'll probably never need it.:naughty:

    MT-90 is god's gift to R154s

    Shifter bushing replacement is FTMFW. My transmission ate the bushing on the end of the shifter, and the green part on my "truck bushing" was gone too. 'Comparable to an 80 year old's vagina' was an understatement before, and now it feels extremely tight and much better like you said. Edit...

    MT-90 is god's gift to R154s

    I'm pretty sure you're the funniest mod here. You and IJ might be tied overall, but that's still the funniest quote I've ever seen on SM.

    YAY!! I got my head back today!!

    Really? Thanks for the clarification, IJ. Yeah, torque-to-yield is the phrase I was lookin for... not stretch point.

    YAY!! I got my head back today!!

    I'm pretty sure I remember hearin something about how the stock bolts were torqued to their "stretch point", and how it'd be basically useless to use em again because they'd just back out again. Then again, I might just be makin this up right now because of how incredibly tiring work was...

    YAY!! I got my head back today!!

    As far as I know, you're never supposed to use the OEM bolts again.
