Yes I am motivated. I want this thing done. I really don't have a due date on it, but I have a week of vacation coming the first week of June. I want to have it in the car and ready to go. Only thing is I need to fab up a downpipe, and intercooler pipes to complete it. That's going to hold...

Today's progress. Timing belt installed. Everything is torqued down to TSRM specs. Tomorrow I'll do a little more. I should have painted the crank pulley, but I was eager to do more than just paint a pulley today. I might cover everything and paint it while it's on there. Kinda ghetto...

LMAO! I guess he's not getting sex for a whole month. And he's out an Xbox 360 that he camped out in line for days. Bummer.

Thanks. At least one thing a day. That's my goal.

Well didn't get much done today. Had to cut the yard this morning. "Since you were in the garage for a few hours yesterday, you can shampoo the house carpet like I asked you to a long time ago." - loving wife. She always does that shit everytime I spend time in the garage. That's half the...

Install studs on the block first. Put one washer for each stud on the head. Dab a little bit of assembly lube on the washer and plop it in place in that recessed aread on the head. Drop head through the studs onto the block. Torque in sequence per TSRM. Make several passes in increments...

Head is on and torqued down. Cams are on too. Tomorrow I'll do a little more, and so on.

That's what I'm going to do. Thanks.

You need that fan shroud. Put it back at your convenience.

I did search. Thank you though.

A bought a set of used studs from a member on here. I cleaned all the threads on the block. Studs should be installed finger tight, right? Or do they have to be torqued down? Is a set of ARP studs supposed to come with 28 washers? Are you supposed to use two per stud? Are the washers...

Yes silly, don't do that. Just take all of the gifts back for a full refund and spend that shit on the MKIII y0! Don't ever invite people to your house. They'll never know.

Where's the vid of those ferraris? Second vid was awesome! lol.

I'm at the same point you're in Nicole. I went to lowes and bought a Kobalt 14mm 12pt deep socket and it fits. I just have a couple of questions for you guys. I have ARP studs in place. I chased all the thread to make sure they're clean. Just to make sure, thread them in finger tight...

One question that I have it mind is how long will it take you to get to your power goals? Six months? A year and a half? If you were to buy and install a clutch that will hold 600whp today, will it wear out by the time you reach that power goal later? Then you're going to have to replace a...

Maybe the owner tried to sell it and didn't get what he was wanting vs. giving it to cash for clunkers. BTW, how much do they want for the whole car minus the engine? Sounds like it would make a nice shell.

Yeah, you need to get a hold of a fan shroud. We do live in Texas and 100+ temps are just around the corner. Good find though.

I always see two MKIII's around town on the job. I was wondering if any of you guys know who they are. One is a red 89+ with factory 5 star wheels. It's over on Military Dr just past Whitewood St. It's been there for years. Just sitting outside. The other one is yellow '87-88 over by...

Pabst blue ribbon? ::hah:: I'm gonna have to try it now. Nice build.

Not when it's sitting next to that tiny motor of yours. :sarcasm: Seriously though, if you're getting full spool before 4K on a 1j with that big ass turbo you're doing something right.
