    Main reason I MUST have cruise control ;)

    Low profile headlights

    4300 is the kelvin used by OEMs, and it's the closest to sunlight. It's not blue, it's slightly yellow (just like sunlight). I'm sorry, but the rest of your post is...wrong.

    Clear indicators. Yay or nay?

    Main issue I have with them is the border isn't black like stock, so they look too bright and clash with most of the moldings (white is the only one that really matches). Not hard to fix though :)

    7mge-T?

    Not everyone is as good as you :) At the time, it wasn't a bad deal. I doubt any of those cars are still around though because of decreased longevity. Today though, you could get all the parts to make it a true GTE for far less than that.

    Low profile headlights

    Yes, when I have time. I post them up in the for-sale section when I have a set ready to go.

    Driveshaft is different on the R154 (well, the front part).

    Low profile headlights

    No offense to tekdeus, but his setup is mostly for looks and not performance.

    Low profile headlights

    The main issue is they're not sealed on the outside at all. Couple of people have used PVC piping to seal them off though. The Hella's are fully sealed. Those matchbox projectors aren't bad (arguably better than most sealed beams), but they're not great either.

    7mge-T?

    For a race car that constantly rebuilt, sure. For a street car, no.

    7mge-T?

    Cams for NA are generally different than those designed for turbo cars. I don't recommend running a boosted engine without oil squirters, especially with cast pistons. I guess you'd put the flapper AFM there, but I wouldn't run on GE electronics at all as it's not designed for boost...

    Car didn't start right away after I washed it...??

    Jimbo kinda covered it. The "relay mod" is kinda dumb as the system already has a relay, and the real electrical connection is made through the contacts inside the starter. Back to the issue at hand, I've drained batteries by putting windows up and down, playing the stereo, turning the...

    Coffee creamer oil, Coolant gushing from the radiator on acceleration, idle miss =/

    You deck it when you deck the block. The oil is shared throughout the engine. If you have oil contamination in the head, you have oil contamination in the block. It's your car, you can risk doing just the head and if it knocked right after you'll be doing it all over again. If it knocks...

    Ethical Dilemma - Painting a MKIII 3E5 VS 202

    MKIV Quicksilver looks fantastic on a MKIII. Hell, all the MKIV colors look great on a MKIII...

    Coffee creamer oil, Coolant gushing from the radiator on acceleration, idle miss =/

    You have oil contamination, so the chances of bearing damage is high :(

    Need help with decisions, Looking for best quality combination

    All the gasket kits outside of OEM have a paper EGR cooler gasket as well, it will blow out. Stock is a metallic gasket. Throttlebody gasket is wrong, but can be fixed, and exhaust manifold gasket is very poor and prone to leaking. Honestly, $510 is too low to do the work that needs to be...

    Worth puting back together?

    You broke 3 wheels, there's going to be damage that you can't see. Honestly, the chance that the main part of the chassis isn't tweaked is next to nil. At this point it's not worth fixing unless it holds some sentimental value and you have tons of money to throw at it (since insurance WILL...

    The AR thead

    Quality AR's are self cleaning (no, really, they are). The issue with failures were with the original M16's not being chromed and said to be mantainence free. While they are self cleaning, they do need lubrication. Caliber choice should be based on availability IMHO. While some of the modern...
