I'd skip the test pipe to replace the cat. Just get a high flow cat. $100 and will keep you perfectly legal (and stop you from needlessly polluting) and still flow plenty more than you ever need with na. For power, head work might help. Theres not much extra power to be had with the na. It's a...

Good greys look amazing, IMO. When I go to repaint mine, I'm thinking one of the Lexus black/greys that has a ton of flake to it. Working at Toyota, even some of the new Rav4's had *really* nice looking grey/metallic paint

Probably the most painful thing I've done with my supras. Pain in the ass. You can get to it without removing anything else, but holy fuck is it a challenge. Quin has it right, you can do it from under the intake with a bunch of extensions. Good luck man, I feel for ya. Sent from my ADR6400L...

The weight is a big part of my concern. The doors are huge. And heavy. But I'm unsure of how much weight you can actually pull and keep it just as functional. I'm imagining you'd only lose the weight of the steel sheet skin on the door. Maybe that's only 20# total. I don't know, but I'd sure...

Id buy a set for sure if you could provide proof everything fits like factory and all structural components in the targa doors were present. The targa doors are a part of the body structure, so you absolutely have to have those in a targa car. Post up an example picture showing fitment and...

I'm not understanding your rationale. What does any of it matter with the known bhg? That's like saying you know you have terminal cancer, but you're very concerned about this little bug bite you may or may not have... You should do a full rebuild if the motor actually has 200k regardless if...

Use oem gasket from Toyota (which is a graphite composite), take the head to a machine shop, clean the block with gasket remover and a razor scraper. If you have the ability, check the block for straightness. Recipe for cheap, relatively good success. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

Op: you seriously swapped only the and housing and nothing else? How did you think that would work? I'm confused how you knew enough to know about the afm swap, but not enough to know that it only works with bigger injectors. If you dont understand exactly how a modification works, don't do it...

Based on that statement, I'm not sure you have a soul. :P Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

All mishimoto rads seem to use slightly small fittings. Use your stock clamp AND a worm gear clamp placed on or just inside the lip of the fittings. Should work just fine. :) Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

If I got rid of the truck for something non 4x4, I'd love an early 00's 5 series. Either 540 or M5. So comfortable and classy. :)

I wont pretend to have a ton of experience at that power level, but I think your main concerns are simple for the bottom end. Aside from quality bearings and a solid crank polish/machining and checking clearances, I'm not sure what else will get you. IJ and about a hundred others on here have...

I agree that there are a dozen different opinions flying around and it's tough to find the truth. You're new to the mkiii world, (from the sounds of it) and we just want to make sure you dont make a quick mistake now that you'll regret down the road. These engines take more than the average...

Good find! Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

You have three options. 1. Pull the motor, do it right and have a machinist do the proper work for an mhg. You'll be set for whatever power you want. 2. Run less power, use oem gasket, no machining required. Reliable, less power. 3. Do an improper mhg install and run high power. You'll blow...

I agree, but you're assuming the block was perfectly flat before the last rebuild. I'd say it's possible it wasn't prepped correctly the first time and that's why the current owner is facing a BHG after only 6k miles. A properly done MHG should last 10 times that long, even at significantly...

That is a nono. Also, you need to check for any low spots, imperfections, pitting, unflat areas. Without taking that to a machinist, I wouldn't put on an mhg. Go regular composite if you want it to be reliable and keep yourself below 350hp or pull the whole motor. Sent from my ADR6400L using...

This is one of my pet peeves on the Mk3. You're simply a fool if you turn it into a manual steering system. It's not a miata and the power steering doesn't detract that much from the steering feel. It's a ricer mod... Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

If you have the space and means to pull the engine and do a good rebuild I'd plan for that. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

Are you talking climate controller? I think borhor did one. Can't say ive done one myself. The whole peeling button issue really turned me off from even trying with my 88. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
