    Pre/Post89 lip question. Can it be rigged?

    Sure it can. But, if you want it to look perfect, it's probably going to take more time than it's worth (unless you're good with bondo, fiberglass and a hacksaw).

    Sway bar Testing

    I know it's not a lot, but I just sent you $20 - hopefully you can get more people to send a little and offset your shipping costs. Thanks for taking on the project - and another BIG thank you to those willing to send in their sways! I will be in touch once you have completed looking at...

    Project Cherry Widebody, finished! (New pics on post #451 and #511)

    Volvo has some real nice rich deep red tones. To be fair, the images below really make the paint look a LOT lighter than it is. The paints are really interesting and show a lot of depth. These look great with buckets of clearcoat and tinted a shade darker. Regent Red (late 80's early 90's...

    Is there a demand for custom Fiberglass interior parts?

    I'd probably buy b-pillars in CF. I would love to get some type of airbox, but I don't know how you'd be able to make one suitable for all the different setups (i.e. people who haven't routed their IC piping through the fender, not running Afm anymore, etc.)

    LSD Rear diff question

    There is a fair amount of information on here regarding LSD's. I don't think I have ever seen a complete teardown/rebuild thread though :dunno: IIRC you should have a 3.73 ratio in your car. Other MKIII's had 3.92's or 4.30's.

    Occasional ticking/knocking Sound at Idle

    Sorry - could you restate that? Are you saying that you don't think it's valve train noise - or you do?

    Occasional ticking/knocking Sound at Idle

    Could be valve train noise - What oil were you using, and what did you switch to?

    Engine cuts out if I don't follow through with shift sometimes.

    Check the dashpot filter. It lets a little air in to prevent stalling on fast throttle closes.

    crank repair

    Geez $2,200 bucks buys a decent NA in good running shape around here. (Crank comes free with car:icon_bigg )

    gotta quick question

    If you did not jump the diagnostic block the timing is not set properly. It could certainly be something else - but since we know you did not set ignition timing properly, I am asking you to go and do it again per TSRM specs. If that is not clear enough - what I want you to do is: Verify...

    Accordian hose

    Well, the bends are there to route around the PS reservoir and mate up with the AFM bolted in factory location.

    Accordian hose

    If you are running factory PCV, ISC, and BPV hoses, the placement of the fittings is important - those hoses are fairly inflexible. You can probably grab the fittings out of your accordion hose and measure them and then find them in the same material to facilitate the welding.

    Accordian hose

    That's exactly what happened to me when I ordered a DP. I ended up canceling my order. His auctions seem to indicate the parts are "in-stock". It seems to me that he does not make the parts until after they are ordered. That means you are waiting for them to be built, coated and then...

    Accordian hose

    Well, Cooleeze can sell their part for whatever the market will bear. I agree that it is overpriced - even at the $100 I bought it for. In fact, it is overpriced at any level, because it simply does not fit well. As far as "bolt-ons" go - I see no problem with properly designed/made parts...

    Accordian hose

    I have the cooleeze pipe and the fit is and finish are poor. Not what to expect with a $200 pipe. Have one made, it will be considerably cheaper and fit better. To be fair, a portion of the cost goes to ceramic coating, so consider that when you are negotiating to get one made.
