    Pics of YOUR Aftermarket steering wheels

    I posted this a couple of weeks ago. It was a bitch to get the turn signals working like stock; the horn too. Momo Jet, 350mm - ideal size

    Help OIL PRESSURE QUESTION REAL BAD

    Check your sending unit connection. My Mk2 one fell off so yours might just be loose.

    Part review: cheap ebay copy of the do-luck floor bar

    To get any benefit out of this bar (the generic one), you gotta drill and tap another bolt into the frame, otherwise the bar will wander, since the seat belt bolt is so far away. You also gotta tighten the hell out of it putting serious pressure outwards against the frame. I couldn't get mine...

    How do I cure Boost Spike with Apexi ACVR?

    Looks to be a Bosch stock type BOV. I'll have to inquire about the wastegate.

    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...

    So i weighed my car today...

    It's funny how much we love these cars that we'd rather gut them than just buy a lighter car. My Mk2 is SOOO much lighter than my Mk3.

    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...

    A little how to for Car PC

    Thanks for the info SupraDerk, a head unit that can read off a portable USB drive just makes so much sense. Any other better quality brand names that have this feature? I saw something similar on Alpine decks but it seemed geared towards Ipods. I'd like to stick a cheap portable 300 gig usb...

    What do you guys think of this car?

    The selection in Canada sucks for Mk3's. I watched the market for 2 months before I gave up and had the one I wanted shipped all the way from Florida. The asking price for the car is common for a Canada car, but often they sit around not selling. The blue book value for that car is around $2,800...

    Part review: cheap ebay copy of the do-luck floor bar

    Do a search on ebay for supra floor bar. I got the one for $59.75 plus $22 shipping. It is hollow steel with aluminum end plates. It looks like someone's got an all-aluminum one now for cheaper. I wonder how rigid that would be? The chrome would probably chip on it if it's anything like the...

    Part review: cheap ebay copy of the do-luck floor bar

    I just installed that cheap knockoff floor bar for sale on ebay. It's thicker and heavier than I thought, probably 1.5" thick. It looks like it was hand made by someone but it seems really strong. It was painted a silver colour which didn't look too great plus it got chipped during shipping so I...

    Custom Cold Air Intake Options

    I posted this on SF but I'll repost here. This was my solution: I've always wanted to harness ram air forces so I built an under-car ram air scoop/cold air intake setup under the headlight with nothing other than parts from home depot!(approx $40). I have a shortened height headlight mod so I...

    New Momo Jet installed! Pics!

    There has been a shortage of this model for quite some time. I ordered through 3 different vendors and each time they said they don't have it! The best price I saw was around $220 plus the hub around $57.
