oh i've already got a nice jumbo-tube of antiseize. i'll suffocate those sumbitches. :) i used a combination of a cutoff wheel and many many sawzall blades. heh. -shaeff

someone i know on this forum has a friend who's dentist is his dad. weird, huh? haha. just kiddin'! -shaeff

yellow: it's MUCH easier (in my opinion) to put the motor/tranny in together. (with them bolted together) i've always done it that way. it's super easy, and then you don't have to struggle with those upper bellhousing bolts. -shaeff

i forgot to mention that if i ever owned a not-black MK3, that it'd have to be that color. great find, mike. :) -shaeff

or you can replace the stock boost gauge with the voltmeter from an N/A car. ;) that way you have all working gauges. :) -shaeff

update: i finally got one side off. (found the time to do it) i have to cut out one small piece that's left on the subframe. (part of the inner sleeve seized to the bolt still that i cut through). so one side is almost done. i picked up new bolts for the front, all of them, including the...

if you see threads, then the crank pulley bolt has fallen off. get a new key, possibly crank pulley if it's damaged, and make sure the crank isn't FUBR. if the crank is good, you can get away with just a key and maybe a pulley. it's supposed to be torqued down to 195 ft lbs if i remember...

i just keep my own pace. if they get really cocky, i'll actually slow down most of the time. i don't like to draw attention to myself. my car is rusty, and looks like crap. i don't rocket out of traffic lights. i cruise. every now and again, i'll put a smile on my own face when i get on it...

heh, i'm buying ridiculous amounts of parts for mine... so many, i could have bought 5 more $2000 mk3's. :( so i'm stupid... -shaeff

replace the blower resistor. it's one screw to remove down near the firewall on the passenger side. one screw and it pops right out, disconnect the wire clip, pop a new one in, screw it down, re-connect wire and enjoy 3 fan speeds again. ;) costs about $20 or so. also, i have no A/C. i live...

and where'd that info come from? where in cometic's directions or website does it say that it cannot handle that power level? i sure didn't see it anywhere. if the headgasket doesn't last, then you have a tuning, cooling, or machine work problem. a stock headgasket could be pushed to 500hp with...

why do people call wrx's a REX? a rex is and always will be an rx7... -shaeff

my head just exploded from lack of puncuation. :( -shaeff

or is ^ that what you're talking about. the above takes 6 quote tags to do. :) -shaeff

i ground mine off and painted it. -shaeff

boso, you can check out a thread i posted in the reference section about the 12v fuel mod. it eliminates the fuel pump resistor and relay, and sets up the fuel pump with an aftermarket relay and heavier wire. works like a charm. :) -shaeff

you'll want a linear spring then, not a progressive, as Yellow stated. i hate my eibachs. :( but i love my koni shocks. in the winter, i'll be switching over to coilovers. -shaeff

heh, i was actually going to get a pair of the puma speed cats this weekend. i tried them on, and they're damn comfy if i do say so myself. ;) i might even get two pairs so they last longer. -shaeff

glad i can help, as well as save a restorable car. :) -shaeff

first, don't type in caps, as it's annoying. and second, that's still too broad of a statement for us to help you. and where in NY are you? -shaeff
