    Air to Water Intercooler?

    you're preachin to the choir here, detonation is the inherent evil when temps rise as you know, keeping the intake charge temp low saves many a motor and allows dramatic hp increases. I'd love to have a cheap mean of lowering my temps more....

    Air to Water Intercooler?

    I can't believe it...restored 20 yr old damaged clear coat.(56K BEWARE)

    I did that but found that just a few weeks later it had re-oxidized and back to looking like crap, I am resigned to the fact that I need a new paint job or wear myself out doing similar to what you did every couple weeks

    Memphis Drag Race Tickets anyone?

    Got 6 of them from Titan, 2 day passes for May 22-23 http://www.adrl.us/index.php/main/event/ If anyone wants them I'll mail them to you. PM me your address and I send them. It's been years since I bought anything from Titan, so maybe they are sending out a lot. Sounds like a good time...

    How do you fell about buying parts off Ebay for your MK3?

    I do it all the time, you need to know what you are looking for, what it should cost and most important.... make sure the seller is minimum in the high 90's if not 100% Of course some stuff is pure scam like some turbos, ics, etc.
