Obviously this will cool better but be more...

    Project Cherry Widebody, finished! (New pics on post #451 and #511)

    I thought I would surprise everyone and post pics after completion but I must let the cat out of the bag and share. Here is the full rundown of the body and interior mods happening this winter. I bought the car this January and it came with some great mods and just under 400 rwhp. I am...

    It is official. T1 Torsen diff's are weak.

    Took the chance running a JDM Torsen diff for a few months, since they give much better traction than a clutch type LSD, but it is now toast. It went out in a strange way too. It developed a lot of slack over the course of a day, causing lots of driveline bouncing and surging. I had the car up...

    Strange drivetrain problem. Need advice!

    Hey guys, Today while driving around town a problem developed and got progressively worse. When accelerating at low rpm in the lower gears, the car would bounce/surge forwards and backwards, similar to the quick back and forth movement of a car when in 1st gear and the throttle is pressed and...

    For those of you who have painted your interior parts...

    I'm going to paint my intererior (with SEM products) but I wasn't sure if I should use a glossy, or flat plastic/vinyl paint, and then use armour-all after. I like the glossy look of an armour-alled interior but I want it to look proper. Do the glossy paints looks like this, or do they look a...

    There are a few cars out there with similar looking side markers. Anyone successfully do a custom install with clear side markers? The BMW ones on eBay look like they might be useable but none of the vendors know the measurements...?

    CryO2 question

    On the DEI CryO2 system, they have a great intercooler sprayer that I'll probably add on in the future. I was wondering about your guys' opinions about the other goodies that can be daisy-chained before the CO2 reaches the sprayer: the fuel bar and the intake cooler. The fuel bar is supposed to...

    Fixed (Re-charged) my A/C successfully with R12a freon substitute

    Thought you guys might like to know that I have fixed (re-charged) my A/C successfully with R12a freon substitute called "Maxi-Frig" off eBay. Supposedly it is compatible with the R12 oil so you just put it in and go. I opted to first put in a bottle of stop-leak so hopefully it will last more...

    Need help finding rear widebody fenders

    After searching, I think either the Savage or Kaze rear widebody fenders would suit my application, and was wondering if anyone knew of a good reliable source for these parts, or even copies. Any other options out there? I need a good 2-3 inches wider to fit my wheels. Savage: Kaze:

    Bought some fancy shoes today (extreme offset)

    Did a search for work wheels on the big auction site, and these popped up in my city. Just picked 'em up today. Gonna need some serious massaging/widening to fit them under the fenders! Not a big fan of chrome but I'll probably get them refinished in the future with a polished look. 4 used...

    Anyone mount their AFM AFTER the BOV?

    After a quick test fit, it looks like I could replace my upper 3000 pipe before the throttle body with my Lex AFM, using some proper sized couplings. Anyone try this to eliminate the problems assosiated with venting BOV's to atmosphere? I figure it will get a bit hotter although I am running an...

    How do I cure Boost Spike with Apexi ACVR?

    I picked up a heavily modded Mk3 in Feb and have not messed around with the engine or fuel system(Apexi SAFC), or boost controller(Apexi ACVR). On hard pulls my boost spikes to 17,18 almost 19 psi then slips down to 15 or 16 or so(according to my autometer guage), which is where the limit seemed...

    Info on USB capable head units

    As mentioned in the car PC thread, I've been really wanting an easy way to have my entire music library on a portable hard drive and to be able to play music off it through either a quality head unit or car PC, especially since I can get a 300GB drive for like $150-200. After researching, a...
