Looks good, I'll be going with the same setup using -8 lines, a mocal 180F thermostat (just arrived today), an earls cooler and relocation adapter, and a prosport sandwich plate.

If you have a full tank and any rust on your car, budget 4-6 hours, some kinked hard lines, and lots of swearing. Empty tank and no rust, you should be able to have it done in under 2 hours...provided your car is on jackstands or something similar.

Yeah, I'm planning on going with something designed for cars.

well, in looking through some boxes of parts, i managed to find a piece of the rubber strip I had removed from my driver door. It is basically a piece of rubber approximately 5 mm thick, with adhesive on either side. It is roughly 4 mm thick. It is actually surprisingly stout - the rubber...

seriously....if you guys want to know why the torsen fails, send a broken one to me - I can spend a Saturday at work and have a look at it. PM me and I'll give you my address to send the diff.

thats what I thought...I figured at least 1/8"...we need someone with the trim off their car to chime in.

they are definitely worth it - The mask I have used at work is a miller auto darkening, adjustable shade, adjustable response mask - It is amazing, and I think I've been flashed all of once. Not exactly the cheapest masks though.

well, it is an old, cheap car now...The money spenders have several different (i hesitate to say better) platforms to build from nowadays...it is just the way it goes. Give it 10 years, I'm sure you will run in to a boat load of cheap mk4 guys.

Back to the discussion at hand, how about a nice lightweight Al engine block? (I'm sure there are a plethora of reasons that this shouldn't/couldn't/wouldn't be done, but it would be nice to have...and there would be less thermal strain on the HG)

Is there any conceivable reason that our charcoal canisters are located in the engine bay? I was doing some searching, and found that several vehicles use a canister at the fuel tank. Is our canister in the engine bay for the sake of convenience or are there other reasons (temperature, etc)...

is that SS hose always touching the hot side of the turbo? I see a leak followed by a fire shortly.

will do.

1/16 is the size? I thought it was a tad thicker, but I suppose I am in no position to argue...since none of it is left on any of the trim pieces I have. Thanks a lot.

what year is your car? on 89+ plastic trim there is an adhesive strip that sticks to the car.

This is for anyone who has either re-painted their car or installed new side trim. What are the approximate dimensions (thickness and width) of the adhesive trim that sticks the side mouldings to the car? I'm putting everything back together and I'd like to have everything sealed like it was...

there is no one gasket in particular, but a bunch of pieces of adhesive that you must place together yourself (for the ends of the spoiler and the pieces mounted to the quarter panels....there is a gasket for the center support)

more info on this please.

no, it doesn't stick out of the quarter panel high enough. Part numbers: 86.5-88 turbo/all years w/o spoiler - 86300-14362 89+ w/spoiler - 86300-14372
