    MkIV brakes on MkIII

    The rears need shims for the disks and offset inserts for the calipers to work correctly. The fronts would need brackets, ect. Some peopl have used the entire MKIV hub, but that has issues as well. Not to mention that the front brakes for a MKIV aren't cheap at all and arz's wilwood setup...

    gas leak/ replacing injector o-rings

    R154 power capabilities / cost vs going mk4 6 speed

    Most trannies won't take a mis-shift at that level, so that's something to keep in mind as well. The V-160 with a stock rear gear isn't going to be ideal as you'll be shifting more often. You'd have to find a higher gear ratio (numerically lower).

    R154 synchro help

    Nice, now talk to Marlin and ask him with the thrust washers fail. They fail from the gear back becoming loose and hammering the sintered thrust washer until it breaks. I don't care what your friend does. Replacing syncros and bearings in a tranny without checking tolerances is a good way...

    Timing belt question Gates OEM or Race?

    I could see doing it on a talon since the motor is interference and they have belt issues. On our cars, nope. I swear the one that was on my engine was original and was fine until the guide on the lower timing gear came off and the belt started shredding...

    All those cars are lowered, and shine's stuff doesn't break as easily as it will flex.

    To Drift or not to Drift...

    I recommend not using the e-brake since the shoes don't have a lot of meat on them and they're not cheap...

    The latest gay ricer mod

    Yep, quick history lesson. Motorola is the reason we have car radios as before they found a way of shielding the radio from the ignition system, radios just picked up all the noise. Kinda funny that there name is because of this but they don't do car stereos anymore...
