it looks like you might be one tooth off. i have always lined mine up like i show in the link, and always get the timing dead on with no problems. is your pic taken at an odd angle or something? it threw me off at first. -shaeff

not true, and speaking from experience. ;) my '89+ accordian hose came with all the metal fittings, and was cheaper than the pre '89. -shaeff

looks like a FMU to me... -shaeff

i guess will's been out and boosting around. :) that's more than i can say for myself, of course. :( i haven't heard from him since i brought his car back! (i guess that's a good thing!) happy boosting, will. :) -shaeff

^ yes, but keep in mind that turbos spool under load. no load= very little/no spool. ;) it really is a trade-off. -shaeff

there are two different part numbers for the same hose. Jeff Lange told me that. here's the kicker- one part number costs MORE than the other when you purchase them. werid, huh? hopefully jeff lange will chime in, as he has the P/N's memorized, and told me the cheaper one to buy. :)...

and everyone wonders why there are so very few mk3 owning girls who post their rides. jeez people... -shaeff

i have a kevin m sunshade. ;) but the louvers are sweet too. -shaeff

i admit. i <3 louvers. :) i have far more important things to do now, though. (like getting the rustbucket back in at least SOME state of operation) -shaeff

good to know. i had a huge arguement about this with some random guy on SF about a year ago. he said they flowed different, i said they didn't. we agreed to disagree. i guess i was correct. :) (i had read it someplace before, but couldn't provide the link due to a computer crash at the time)...

i did this a few weeks back when i relocated my fuse box, ignitor, etc... and extended all the wires so it's all hidden. the car doesn't run, and it never really had a miss, but it's good preventative maintenance as far as i'm concerned. nice writeup- i also followed JJ's post. :) -shaeff

the dark spots aren't above the cutoff, which is why i mentioned them. i figured the flare was supposed to be there, but there are two very obvious diagonal slashes. i don't like the way they look, very concentrated beam. i figured it was the movement of the bulb causing the left shift as...

:icon_razz maximum pwnage! -shaeff

when i was working on the car, the fusible link was giving me problems. it's definatly fried. the casing was crusty and fell off when i touched it, and it's certainly not making a good connection. i know that for sure. -shaeff

i'm going to bet it's a boost leak. most likely culprits= IC pipe right off the bottom of the turbo, and the coupler between the 3000 pipe and throttle body. -shaeff

i told you it needs an o-ring! -shaeff

bumping this: poodles is thinking along the same lines i am. i just installed the kit in my '94 toyota pickup. it's alright. i still need to tweak it. (hi/lo kit) i was thinking that if we put a resistor of the same amount of resistance between the ground and the high beam pin on the...

and john lunsford has been in the mk3 game for a long time, and knows exactly what he's doing. would i do it? nope. but if you DO know what you're doing, you might be able to squeak by like John does. also note that he's running a higher static CR. ;) -shaeff

pics here, too. (and an excellent writeup- so read it!) http://rob.carlile.home.mchsi.com/lexus/lexus1.htm -shaeff
