visualizes Mel Gibson collecting dripping fuel in a broken headlight* to the point, do you mean the big fuel filler pipe? or one of the fuel lines that supply the engine.

They are made...out of meat!

wow, all you ABQ guys. God I miss the pick-a-part yards there. Its not recommended but I had to machine my front timing cover after my block was already done. I decided I didnt want to take the whole mess back into the shop so I bolted the cover to the block and used a brand new flat file and...

good video, music sucked ass though. Why do people feel the need to cover the sound of a nice engine with shit like that.

you could concievably overheat the floorboard and cause a fire....:aigo: but you would have to probably run it really rich and on a track for a few laps for that to happen. As far as I know other than being loud there is no drawback.

Good for you! In the end its just a car. I know all about frustrating gremlins that wont go away. Start fresh later. In the meantime enjoy the mk4 build.

one was what? wet? oil covered? Either way its not good. You can try cleaning them but the oil/water is getting there from somewhere (BHG, bad rings, valve seals). If its that bad then you are looking at major repairs. Like I said, I would contact the shop that did the work. Make em tow it...

Pull the plugs out and look at each one, see if they are oil fouled or wet when you take em out.

LOL, nice! the guy with 9 posts catches on quickly ;) ...ohh and what he said ^^

so let me get this straight: You took the car to a shop to have the headgasket replaced. You got the car back a week ago. Today the car overheated for a short period of time, and after you got done driving it there was oil burning off the back of the motor. Now it just cranks but you get no...

Good work on that car. Must be nice to have seemingly endless funds for OEM parts, lol. Having Steven around is nice as well and Im sure you know Ken by now as well. Please take care of that car and dont fall victim to too heavy of a left foot. edit: Oops...right foot. Whats funny is that I...

Unless you put in on a skidpad your subjective test would be useless in this discussion. Hell even with a skidpad test it might be useless, lol.

wow, Tim, Im beginning to think you are right, lol. Good link to the Cusco bar...scroll down half way to the animated GIF's showing the stresses on the strut tower....now pay special attention to what TYPE of suspension that is...see any upper control arms?

There isnt an adjustment screw like some others. If you want to change how much boost it can withstand you have to change the spring inside (never done this myself, for me it was perfect out of the box). I ran 15-18 lbs on mine with a Greddy PROfec B spec II controller.

thats the same one I had on my 89t and it sounds just like the HKS.

I believe the 1 stage paints are acrylic enamel, not sure if the 2 stage is different.

its not like finding a LEX AFM and installing it is hard.

Ahh yes...recruits for the 3E5 camp. yes $1500 is a very good price, even with its issues. Nice looking car...get that BHG fixed and she should serve you well for a long time.

EDIT: bah, I type slow and was beat to that point like 4 times, lol. An STB is a good place to hang your shop rags and rest your arm when you are changing your plugs though. ;)

you last 3 skipped my quote...fail
