    Cracks me up...

    Well, it felt like i could have driven the car up to the store, with no hood, bumper, fenders, intake, exhaust, afm, or IC system. Just the turbo, hanging of the side of the block, whistling with the revs.

    Cracks me up...

    So many threads on how guys cant get their cars to run... I cant kill mine! I pulled my car out of the garage, and removed my entire exhaust, entire intake and intercooler system, AND the MAFT system, to sell them. Then i realized i'd never be able to push the car back up into the garage...

    Orion's Projekt: Alexis

    Thanks for checking mine out. And to celebrate- I'm going to go update my post! PS- If I could do my poly's over again, I would have gotten them in black. Black ones are graphite impregnated,= less chance of squeaking.

    New car, new project. Asking for advice on my build.

    What color are the injectors? If they are upgraded, they may be a different color. OEM's are black. Very few upgraded injectors are plug n play- are the harness clips orginial, or do they look like they were spliced in?

    1987 MK3 Resto

    A blank cover. Can't remember if you turn CW or CCW to advance timing, but you'll know as soon as you try- the idle will either go up or down.

    1987 MK3 Resto

    The fewer belts/ accessories you have connected, the less chance of a whine, so...? Yes, your cps is off. Try loosening the hold-down bolt and advancing it a bit. If you don't have enough room to advance it to get ~800rpm, then you are one tooth off.

    rebuilding the front subframe -

    Hey Steve- Sorry for the late response. I didn't seem to have this issue with my setup. I suggest you measure the length of the sleeves and send that info to Ronnie. He'll know if yours are the correct length. It's certainly a possibility that whoever machines those sleeves for him, had made a...

    Clutch stuck on floor

    Depends- Jake- What did you do with your clutch setup? Did you change it out or machine the flywheel? If not, I'd say you can try adjusting it, but it may very well be the slave cylinder as already mentioned. For me, it was the master. I also would suggest looking at the fluid. If it's dark/...

    A/C fixed! or is it?

    Generally, cans of R134 come with an incrimental amount of lubricant oil mixed in with it. I'm going to guess you'll be ok, but for a compressor that has sat dead still for 5 years...it's anyone's guess.

    another piston ring question.

    Stock rings are fine, but 450 RWHP is nearing the upper limit of stock internals in general.
