Update on this issue. My codes have been 100% clear since the battery replacement and igniter grounding. I drove the car all summer daily with 0 issues. I can't explain it, but the battery and igniter seem to have solved my issue. I stopped checking codes once it started reliably again so 43 may...

No kidding, that's pretty awesome.

Considering the time required to change out 4 shocks I'd consider spending another $200 to get something decent. I would expect those to be less durable than the basic KYBs.

I've got an S&W MP15 Sport and an MP15-22. The sport I got just because it was on sale. I think I paid $570 after shipping and background check fees. The 15-22 was intended for cheap AR-style fun/practice, but I bought it as ammo was becoming scarce so that idea was pretty much a bust. Still a...

Just now found this! I left a comment on your facebook page. The trailer was great and I'm looking forward to seeing more. Keep the focus on the cars and you've got a real winner. If you'd like I'd be happy to link give a link to your youtube (or whatever page you prefer) on my website...

EPC calls out different numbers for the pre 91 and 91+. Many parts seem to be like that, actually, where 91+ get a different part number even where pre89 and 89-90 share the same.

To answer the OP question I think you'd need to state your power goal. 500 whp is considered high power to some, but if you're talking about 900 whp the answer might change. I can't offer much advise for high power, but I will say that I've run three different LSDs in three different cars from...

Very Nice. I'm also a bigger fan of restoration builds than high power builds. If you can do both, great, but I'd prefer to see a car get lovingly built/upgraded over a generic "POWA!" build. What projector did you use? Total cost? Worth it? I drive the Supra rarely at night anymore, but the...

Nice car man. Have you done anything to it? Looks like you got some suspension work at least. She's a beaut!

Hey man, I live in the very edge of "metro Denver" at I-25 and work in Boulder. I do a lot of 4 wheeling lately as I picked up a 99 Land Cruiser with center and rear diff locks - aka off road legend in a first class soccer mom-mobile. I don't do many big meets or anything, but I've got a buddy...

You and your silly reading, haha.

That is definitely not a good sign. Tanabe GF210 rates F/R: 7.9 / 3.7 kg/mm i believe. The numbers are straight from their site, but they don't mention units.

Yup, like yhatzee said O'Reillys (sp?) Or any other parts store should have them, or order online. For the springs, I can do exactly that. I measured before and have yet to measure after. I've actually had them for a few months now so it should be nice and settled. Tires are 245/40/17 if I...

I'm unsure on the bump stops, but Tanabe's instructions were clear: cut the bump stop. From a theoretical stand point, the shock is what determines how far it can travel before damage occurs, not the spring. However, to maintain a similar level of shock travel from the starting point, the stop...

I documented my recent suspension upgrade showing in - a very picture-oriented way - how to remove, disassemble, assemble and install front and rear shocks and springs on a Mk3. It's not a tough job, but hopefully this serves as a good tutorial to some folks...

To round out this thread here are some things that could cause low hot idle oil pressure on the stock 7MGTE: 1. Stuck open Oil Squirter - Never heard of it myself, but if one were to fail and remain open you would lose some pressure. They can wear with age and open a little earlier (lower...

Anthracite

:drool:

Yeah, I agree with your coil over concerns. That's why I went with the koni shocks. I'd be ok trying coilovers if I could ride in a few mk3's with some that were street friendly. Unfortunately I don't really know many other locals, let alone with a street coilover. I'm happy with my koni shocks...

FWIW, my new setup is Koni (set to the middle setting) and Tanabe springs. The springs are progressive, but I love the ride. It's stiffer than factory, but not harsh. It grips well and feels fine for daily use on Colorado roads. I've owned a couple other mk3's that had Buick/boat suspension...
