    engine cooling, not radiator related

    Actually it was the other way around lol. The hood without it was better than my current hood, but my current one is black from a different car, so I dont know that I can compare them fairly.

    TEIN SS vs. TEIN FLEX

    Flex have always sounded like the best/flagship coilover for the MkIII. Tein supplies this:

    Who has a black intercooler?

    IJ has/had pics in his buildup of his black piping. I've heard that its not worth it for powdercoating, but I've not seen reliable sources prove one way or the other for preference. I personally might be doing it because it would look better IMO. I have a black mesh grill going in its place to...

    engine cooling, not radiator related

    My car didnt have it in for a LONG time. I think its supposed to be for sound suppression, if nothing else.

    To lambo doors or Not to lambo doors?

    I like it (gullwing specifically) for uniqueness and functionality. It would be nice to have that extra room when getting out and going in. Also, like I said before, the DMC12 is what got me in to cars

    Power steering sux when not moving 1jz swapped

    Because its more expensive to replace and I dont feel that it does all that much really. I've had an 89 as well. The age of our cars + the likeliness of someone using the wrong fluid means that its also likely that the steering rack will need to be replaced.

    To lambo doors or Not to lambo doors?

    The DMC-12 is what got me in to cars. Also, if you look on other forums (dare I say i-Supra) you'll see my plans of gullwing doors on an MkIII from when I was 14. This is why when I photoshopped this years ago: there is a line down the center of the targa. As was the case then, I'm not going to...

    intercooler question....i know i know....

    Less air, yes, but cooler air. If it didnt work, cars wouldntve used them for years. Notice the stock grill is designed for exactly that; even easier to tell on the 89+. I was told by my teacher, an employee of GM for 20 some years, that at highway speeds, the air afterwards would be 10*...

    Grumpy Old Men ?? Hmmmm

    Ugh, one of the biggest things I can say to sum up my first year at college about other people is that you dont have to be smart to go to college :3d_frown: Just like you dont have to be smart to have kids, drive, buy a car...etc...:3d_frown::3d_frown::3d_frown:

    Orion's plans for the summer

    There was quite a nice design up months ago, but the source had unreliable timing. TODAY: I didnt do much, nor have I lately, which I really should change. Been spending time with something almost no other nerd has; a gf. I took the valve covers off and took out the grommets and gaskets. I...

    intercooler question....i know i know....

    This is one of two reasons I have a mesh lower grill awaiting installation. The other is hoping that it'll cause a greater venturi effect than the stock one. I should probably compound the two for looks. I havent decided.

    (Revised, Coin Holder Mod) My new Manual Fan switch install what do you think?

    Really? My R154 equipped car has one... It was a factory auto :P The auto needs one because the radiator is also cooling the automatic transmission fluid

    Same here. I'm only 19 but I've spent the last 5 years learning and researching everything I could about these cars and cars in general. Google has helped, but more the forums towards all sorts of knowledge. I talked with Jeff Lange once a year or two ago about making one big FAQ/info novel...

    VGT turbo

    The shaft is delicate and balanced. I've seen tests of electrically assisted turbos that work great with magnets on the blades, but are a big drain on the charging system, so you have to let it charge up. I believe it was a permanent magnet brushless motor, but I'm not an electrical engineer...
