    FCD - good for anything?

    Bump - I got a little long-winded in my initial post. Main question is if there is any reason to keep the FCD. I think not, but wanted some confirmation before I rip it out. Thanks!

    FCD - good for anything?

    I am looking into some solutions that will let me keep my car running safely. Currently the car has an HKS boost controller and FCD. These items actually came already installed when I bought the car. My understanding is that the FCD can do more harm than good. The plan was to remove it, but...

    The MkIII Photo Dictionary! Lets do it

    I don't think the thread got ugly. Unless I mis-interpreted it, they were simply making true remarks about the state of the internet and copyright infringement. I don't believe (but certainly correct me if I'm wrong) anybody was suggesting that creating a new reference site was a horrible...

    Yahoo Msger

    Go to User CP >> Edit Profile Scroll down and enter your Yahoo Messenger Info. You will then have a little "y" symbol next to your name so people know you are on yahoo messenger and hook up with you. You can also keep your eye out for others with the symbol.

    *Experience>Enthusiasm*

    Enthusiasm does not mean speeding through things too fast, or not doing research. Quite the opposite for me, I spend a huge amount of time researching before I do anything. You shouldn't be looking at enthusiasm as blind stupidity. So yeah, I will probably ask some really dumb questions...

    *Experience>Enthusiasm*

    I don't know that anybody is really arguing with the title. It is quite obvious that I would rather have experience than just enthusiasm, but you don't just start with experience, you have to earn it.

    The MkIII Photo Dictionary! Lets do it

    Yeah, sorry for delay. I have been a bit under the weather. Got permission from Supracentral to 'brand' the dictionary. i.e. use SM logos, etc. I think it will look nicer, and we're likely to get more responses from the experienced guys who like to help out SM. Just updating some...

    *Experience>Enthusiasm*

    OK, so here I am. Maybe not very young, but still the type of person you are talking about. I have owned a few Supras, so I am not buying this car because it is now cheap enough. I don't have much mechanical experience, save doing brake jobs and the like. I did car audio for awhile, so I...

    How to buy a car that is far away

    Make sure the seller has the title in hand and ask to see the seller's driver's license. Make sure the information matches exactly and that there are no recorded liens. Also, look up state laws regarding title transfers, some require signatures to be notarized to complete the transfer. Always...

    Head gasket

    +1 I left the heater hose, hose bracket, alternator bracket, and a few other things attached. Somebody correct me quick so I can delete this if I'm wrong, but isn't it better to leave the cams in until the head has been checked for warp?

    down pipe/any suggestions?

    You are likely going to want to get rid of the stock elbow at some point. If budget allows, get one with the elbow integrated. Cooleeze sells on ebay; I got a coated full 3" DP with integrated elbow for $200. Well worth it if you consider the quality and that I won't have to purchase a...

    Probe Forged Pistons: You want 'em? GB!

    Ahh, only saw the "about a week or two". Not that it hadn't really officially opened yet... I need to read more carefully, as usual. :3d_frown:

    Probe Forged Pistons: You want 'em? GB!

    Doward, Are you going to be posting an end date for this at some point? I'm sure some people are still mulling it over/figuring out if the timing is going to work/etc. Just wondering if there will be any warning, or if it is just going to be cut off. Thanks!
