Anyway, my mods: stock block/HG/head, Ebay IC, intercooler hardpipe setup, MAFT on a 3" GM MAF, stock fuel system except for Walbro and AFPR set 10psi over stock. MBC @12psi, 3.9 rear, HKS "dirt devil" intake, Full 3" exhaust, on a custom separated DP, I dyno'd 2 yrs ago @260HP...

1. The kid WAS baiting the cop. I'm sure he turned that tape on as soon as he saw the police car. Is parking in an empty lot illeagal? no. Did he do it to lure the cop over? Yes. 2. The kid DOES have the right to keep his own counsel when questioned, and though this may create further...

They time the car through two checkpoints, and in both directions, to eliminate wind effects. I dunno if they did that here, but that's how speed runs are normally monitored, so I'm not suprised that I don't see a radar gun.

Sorry in advance, but it's a pretty boring story. Wanted to get it off my chest because I didn't think it would walk me so bad... I had just turned left at an intersection, when I see this BMW pull out of a Waffle House, and gun it down the road in front of me. He was going well over the...

You easily walk a 230ft-lb torque Crossfire in an NA? Very impressive.

My problem was a blocked cat. It can be either gradual (from rich mixture/ burning of fuel in cat) or sudden(as in broken cat element) causing the blockage. I could only get to 8psi by 4500rpm. Replaced the cat and Bam! Instant spooling again. Let us know what you find.

My car smells like 12 trips around the Earth.

IIRC, Horsepower freaks is having a clearance sale on auto to 5spd conversion one-piece driveshafts. Check it: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53512

looks like I got the Mk III high mileage win so far. :biglaugh:

298,000+ miles, baby. Oops- Edit: 1988, purchased in 1996 with 144,000 miles.

I think that the manifold that you're looking at requires an external wastegate, and you cannot mount a CT26 to it, either. It's a manifold designed for T-4 type turbos.

Yes, but not a dangerous one. My NA Z car was 10.5:1, no problems, just gotta keep the timing realistic.

I assume we're talking about a non-turbo engine, yes?

schweet. Thanx guys.

Serious? from the pic, the turbo definately looks like it's sitting higher than the valve covers.

Yeah, after I tested my upper cable with the "drill" method and ruled that out, I unscrewed my lower cable and found the tranny-end was sheared. $16 for a new one from the dealer- not bad.

I have done this- it's easy.

Great. Me with my aluminum driveshaft, wondering if I'll get smacked in the balls one day with a big metal stick. I have one driveshaft loop, which I was planning on putting towards the front of the driveshaft, I think I might put a second towards the center, where the carrier bearing bolts in...

The shims are not added in case the clearances are off. It's true that they come in different thicknesses for adjustment, but they are a mandatory part of the valvetrain.

Nice. I dig the rims, especially.
