    Valve Covers Hoses

    haha weird i literally just bought one today, less than 4 hours ago. $41.50 from my Toyota dealer with tax and shipping included. ships in 2 days or so, but i'd get it from the dealer rather than fabricating cuz like the rest of em said, it's a pre-formed hose. the breather hoses look pretty...

    I need pictures of peoples' MKIII's with different kinds of wheels

    call me an idiot here, but wtf's a +35 offset? meaning the rear wheels are wider and staggered or what? if that's what it is then i want like a 50 offset cuz mkiii's look siiick with wide rear wheels. edit: now i have a general idea of what offset is, so it's all good.

    just realized my turbo doesn't really spin freely

    haha yeah, thanks though. is yours ball bearing or no? mine spins for less than a second, so i guess i'm lookin at a rebuild.

    just realized my turbo doesn't really spin freely

    well yeah, i meant my turbo isn't boosting so of course the boost gauge shows nothin but vaccuum. what could've caused the slow spinning?

    just realized my turbo doesn't really spin freely

    sequim, WA. the closest place is probably Seattle or Tacoma and my car's not gonna run without a turbo so i won't be able to drive there, so i guess i'll get one of my two Supra-knowing friends to help me out with it. what were you thinkin of though?

    just realized my turbo doesn't really spin freely

    mine spins for like a second, so i'm guessin i'll have to figure out if it's lack of coolant/grease/oil or what. you know any good shops that'd check it out without charging $73908?

    just realized my turbo doesn't really spin freely

    no video, sorry, but compared to the guy's video on his phone he's talkin about, it barely spins at all. it's not clogged or hitting anything on the inside that i can feel, it's just that it literally won't spin freely... like skateboard bearings that aren't broken in, basically. they spin...

    just realized my turbo doesn't really spin freely

    nah it's off, it's just that it won't spin freely... maybe the bolt's too tight?

    just realized my turbo doesn't really spin freely

    my intake's taken off and i spun my turbo today, and i'm just wondering if it should be spinning fast, like somethin with broken in bearings or slower. i don't know if anything's wrong but i have to keep it spinning with my finger or else it won't move. it'll spin smoothly, but not without my...

    exhaust sizes: 3" downpipe to 80mm catback

    i'm wondering if it'll fit without exhaust leakage. 80mm is like 3.1" so i'm guessing it'll be fine but i don't wanna screw anything up. details: recirculated BIC DDP goin to a EDIT: RS*r gt2 cat-back

    haha sorry, didn't mean to sound like an ass. wheel upgrades, sure, but i usually don't think of upgrading the wheels for my first mod as being very productive.

    I need pictures of peoples' MKIII's with different kinds of wheels

    i won't be upgrading wheels and tires till way later after engine/exhaust/suspension, but i just wanna know what different kinds of wheels would look good on a white mkiii. i think bronze 5 spokes like the 5zigen fno1rc's would be sick, but any opinions would be good. especially if you think...

    what's up guys, 87 mkiii turbo over here in WA

    haha sick brotha, i think i have a lot of boost leaks too cuz my boost gauge doesn't show at all, even when i rev to like 5 grand. i know it works though cuz it shows 0 when i turn the ignition to acc. and it shows vaccuum at an idle, so i'm guessin it's just a boost leak somewhere. but i'm...

    what's up guys, 87 mkiii turbo over here in WA

    i was all about Nissan until on the first day of this school year, i bought a white mkiii turbo for $1200 and of course it has a few problems. not too horribly many, but enough to keep me busy. needs a valve cover breather hose [ordered], vaccuum lines comin off the intake accordian tube...
