My wife was gracious enough to keep quiet when I owned 5 MKIII's at once earlier this year and last.. lol. So.. she gets props for that.. :D

I think I have seen the hatch and fenders in carbon fibre (but thats wide body). Dont think I have seen door skins (nor do I want to really). Front and rear bumper are best left urethane if possible, but I have a fibreglass front so I suspect that carbon will be easy. The wing however, I havent...

I have a new clutch master waiting :) My driver side carpet is black while I waited.. lol. I am having the heatercore pressure tested and all "weak links" soldered prior to going in. I dont want to ever do this again... Its just easier because I have the entire interior ripped out anyway...

as for pictures... thats one thing I like about the iphone.. lol. Simple snaps as you go.

I love warnings about brittle parts.. lol. I have had to replace a few things when I went for brute force over brains.. The foam is a good thing to attack and fairly easy to do. The car is parked all winter, so I have time to do the gauges and I will want them done regardless. I figure this is...

... when your wife allots you only 15 minutes per day for talking about "your baby".

The "Why" is critical though. If your just dreaming about it, then its an expensive mistake.. lol.

on a red car, those should look awesome.

Mine wasn't what I would call loose.. lol.. it was just backed off a bit (surprised me actually). I wouldn't have found it except I decided the only way to fix my dead tail light was to go through everything starting at the bulb. When I touched the ground wire.. the light came on and started...

Welcome to the club :) Got a side shot of that car? Looks really clean! :)

Yes, retorquing is a maintenance item on the 7M though that a lot of people tend to forget about.. :) The best advice to a MKIII owner is... maintain the damn thing properly! If you ever wonder why they are so cheap right now its mostly because the people who really like them are usually very...

The only good thing is that the entire interior will be removed when I do it.. so there wont be any seats in the way and I will be doing a short shift upgrade at that time as well. I do plan on removing the entire dash, but I have played with the rear of the 7M and getting at anything back there...

Holy crap... that steering wheel is the cleanest I have seen.. lol. Somebody must have liked that car :)

Man.. you guys crack me up. Just because it has 88,000 miles on it.. does NOT mean the head gasket is gonna blow.. lol. Yep.. its a problem, but who knows what the previous owner has done with it. If your planning on running stock boost, it wouldn't hurt to have a leak down/compression test done...

I am redoing the heater core in my car right as it comes out of the body shop (after I get the 87 MKIII out of the garage.. lol). Its a 88 MKIII and I looked at the shop times for this. Its rated as a 9 hour R&R.. yikes. So.. I am wondering, prior to pulling everything apart, is there...

Another thing, there is a ground wire in the bulb holders that is held in with a screw. Sometimes that wire will just vibrate loose. This is usually noticeable if the bulbs pulse or flicker. Its a screw in the middle of the bracket if I remember properly. (I am ignoring the other banter in the...

ya know.. it dont matter how many times I have seen that... but... the kitty running from the monster always makes me chuckle...

Good info, just have to say.. I have had stock.. and I have had subs.. why anyone runs WITHOUT a sub.. is beyond me.. lol. Nothing to do with the thumping.. just if your even just barely an audiophile... the difference in the richness of sound dictates you should have one. I bought my car.. it...

Got my parts home after being painted (holding onto them until the bumpers are done and car painted.. hopefully.. 2 weeks.. maybe 3?) The paint is grey with heavy metallic (a newer Toyota Color actually). You can really see the red flip in the paint when trying to take a photo in the garage...

The TSRM has a line from the Bushing to the "light (thin) red circle" suggesting a bushing. The only one with no bushing with a line going to it is the thick red circle.. is the TSRM incorrect? lol I can see how doing it yourself could get confusing.
