    Switchable BOV's?

    I just bought an Mk3 with 350+ RWP that has the Porsche recirculating BOV. Is it possible to install an to-atmosphere style BOV like a HKS or Greddy but have the ability to choose which BOV I want to run? Anyone ever tried installing both types but having a manual valve to shut one off and run...

    Re-upholster or Racing seats?????

    My car came with custom installed blue cloth seats from a Celica all-trac. He said they are half the weight of the Supra seats and they fit very well. I think he may have had to mod the mounts. I'm may sell these since I want to go leather.

    Cruise control dash relocations for aftermark steering wheel???

    After much searching I still haven't found a definitive answer. I'm planning to upgrade to a momo or similar aftermarket steering wheel. Is there any way to relocate the cruise controls to the dash or elsewhere in an 87? Any part swaps from different years to make this possible? Did all Mk3's...

    Will rod knock be detected by knock sensor?

    How long does the timing stay retarded? Seconds? Milliseconds? Till next start? If this is true, then higher octane gas could yeild more power if knocking is changine the ECU timing at high boost levels.

    Tail light gaskets

    I just bought a set from Toyota yesterday, although I'm in Vancouver Canada. There's gotta be a set somewhere in the US! Phone another dealership. You don't want any leaks.

    Emblem size 90+

    Anyone got the measurements (WxH) of the newer style chrome Toyota front bumper emblem for the MkIII? There's lots of them on ebay but the sizes are all over the map and I don't know which to buy. I've got an 87 with the hole bondo'd smooth so I'm thinking a stick-on badge is the easiest. Do...

    Strut Tower Bar

    I was chatting with Seamus (Suprafiend) about this exact thing and he feels that the cheap ebay ones are crap and do nothing. I've noticed that the cheap ones look much thinner than the better brands. If the bar is compression loaded, it might bend or bow easily, offering poor support, but if it...

    Torsen or TRD LSD for a 400 RWTQ '87 MA70? Any advice?

    I've been reading a lot about Torsen and LSD diffs and as far as I can see the Torsen is superior for the street(great launch and cornering, less understeer) except that it may break more easily under high torque/shock loads. Is it true the the JZ Torsens are only good up to 350-400HP? Are there...

    I know that there is some quality leather-like vinyl out there. What are the other differences? Does it smell like plastic? How is it in hot and cold compared to winter? What's the advatage of perforation? Cooler? Less leg sweat?

    Katzkin ALTERNATIVES??? Leather Seat Cover opions?

    I plan on buying new leather within the next month (like a lot of guys). Since the katzkinz deal is out, can anyone offer feedback on their experiences with some vendors like leatherseats.com or autoleathers.com? Any complaints about quality and fitment from various dealers? Turnaround time...

    Absolute PHATTEST possible wheel fitment on a Mk3? Anyone know?

    I don't see the size we need listed on that site. Plus it looks like it's $50 more per wheel than the thewheelconnection.com. Personally I'd avoid falken tires. I just got a set of 50 series falken Ziex for my Mk2 and I was brutally dissapointed. They suck! My bald BF Goodrich Comp's handled...

    Carbon fibre cowl hood

    I've fallen in love with the CFX carbon fibre cowl hood. Is it true that Duane isn't going to produce any more? If not, who else makes this style of hood? I want to get a c/f hood but would really prefer this to the OEM style.
