Found the problem. My Torsen diff was on it's way out and had lots of slack, causing the drivetrain bounce. Good news is I know what the problem is and I can fix it. Bad news is my Torsen's gone!!!

Auto trans can sometimes shave off a full second compared to a 5-speed. I'd say it'd be REAL hard to hit low 12's on a 5-speed. My 57 has yet to break into the 12's and the best time here in Vancouver with a 57 trim (411 RWHP) is 12.8 I think. And that's with a fair amount of practice.

Looks great. If you offer both the flat and bubble type, I'd guess people's preferences would be abuot 50/50%

Black ftw!

You gotta tell me now. I'm running aluminun driveshaft and flywheel!

Can you elaborate? Not sure what you mean by spin around the electrode. (Thanks for the parallel electrode tip. That's new to me!)

I don't think this is a drain plug. It looks to be some kind of mount adjustment.

Clear turns are hot. Grab them while you can, I don't think they're making them anymore. I had to scrounge around the for sale sections for 6 months before I found a set for 89-92!!!

I think there are several Mk3 owners in the Vancouver area that know nothing about forums. There's a minty red 89+ here in Ladner driven by a grey-haired guy.

Can I ask where you'll be getting your cams? I might do this down the road.

The bolt appears to extend through the mount and I can see the other end of the bolt hitting the upper metal of the bracket. Perhaps I should take a pic. The surge was never there before, so something is definately wrong!

Two: 87 Mk3 Turbo, 84 Mk2. Both insured and driven often!

Can you guys who hit 500+ please post your mods? I'm stuck at under 400 wondering what I should do next. Thanks

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...

That should do it...

I've heard of many people doing this. I think it is safe. I will be doing it to try to pass my beast that has zero emissions gear on it.

Bumping this for more info on this product: Permatex brake quiet. Is it safe to use and can it affect braking performance? I've got drilled & slotted brembo rotors and EBC green pads and all 4 of them squeal loudly under light braking. Thanks

Definately ground the coil packs with a nice 8 gauge wire. I ran NGK 6097 plugs and after a while the misfiring was bad above 15 psi. I regapped them to .31 (I think?) and since then, no misfiring even at 20 psi. I would try regapping your plugs even smaller. If it still runs poorly then upgrade...

I'd go with the Tubbie wrecking yard!
