Heh, I love poking at your posts, and the responses they generate. The problem is while you understand what is going on, the post you made could be (and probably is) interpreted by most in the same manner I did...so I replied accordingly. If you are referring to the melting point by this...

when re-installing brakes, make sure you do several things... clean the rotors with alcohol after installing....skin oils can contaminate the rotor surface and lead to hot spots later on. Torque the wheels evenly, in the proper sequence, with a torque wrench. When bedding in the pads, do not...

and aluminum melts at 1220.58F...just a tad lower than copper... Figgie, by your logic, the head should be melting away as time goes on...which it obviously doesn't. If you are heating the copper to the point where it melts, you have some serious cooling system problems.

nope, I'm referring to the snap ring which joins the compressor housing (aluminum) to the center housing...not the clamp ring with two bolts.

Got some work done tonight...finally put together my fuse box. Note the left side of the fuse box, which was previously empty...It now houses the fuses for my HID lights, audio amplifier, and fuel pump wiring. The fuse box insert is exactly the same as the one which sits beside it, and with a...

mk4 rears are 16mm thick, mk3 rears are 18mm.

I'd add another point to #10: "What do you mean it is discontinued?"

I'd go have another look if I were you...they're vented unless you got a horrible set of replacements.

i think my car was supposed to be at SILV last year....then this year....I'm shooting for next year now... I've been owned by #5.

To "install" them, sure, but I would rather not be removing material from a cast component to get the brakes to work...a centred rotor is nice to have as well. If i recall correctly, the mk3 rears are ventilated, are they not?

thats exactly what I was thinking

if you are looking to get rid of the recaros in the future, let me know....I'm rather interested.

if it is the same as the 7m, it is 31470-14050

he was sold out when I was putting mine on....so i had to make my own.

TT brakes are not quite a direct swap either...

yeah, thats close to mine...I picked up some smaller exhaust donuts so mine sits a tad higher. I've seen a few cars with a pretty large gap between the muffler and bumper and it looks terrible.

if it is tucked up under the car properly and not hanging like a saggy testicle, it isn't that noticeable.

are you looking to order something unavailable anywhere else? If not, why not go with a site sponsor? You can probably talk to them directly and not get hammered on shipping overseas. no prices listed seems kind of sketchy...

$160 poly bushings is a very recent development....prior to that, it was in the neighborhood of $700. I'd use poly for all bushings rotating normal to the longitudinal axis of the car, and stock for the others. As for my car, I replaced everything with stock bushings (prior to the release of...

chances are you'll have to remove the cylinder...unless your head can fit inside the door...in which case, we'll probably need some pictures of that.
