    MAFT install manual preview

    Nice Grim. I've ordered the translator & I have a 3" MAF. I can't wait to install it. Couple of questions. I see you're using a 3" MAF also, what's you overall impressions? Smooth idle, throttle reponse, fuel cut....? Also, are you going to use a SAFC?

    too much valve noise

    I didn't, but the machinist is a good friend that I trust. I trust him more than I do myself, but it sounds like I need to check them myself. Any info / pointers?

    too much valve noise

    I have about 2k miles on my car after a BHG. I had the head reworked (surfaced, new seals, 3 angle valve job, ect) before reassembly & everything was great afterwards. Now I'm starting to get a lot of valve noise. A loud tick to be precise. What took so long for the noise to start & how do I...

    Knocking sound at idle

    Get a 3/4" socket & a long breaker bar & tighten the shit out of your HB. To stop the motor from turning, take of the tranny cover & have a friend hold a flat tip in the teeth of the flywheel. I had to do this after repairing a BHG, I had the same type of knocking sound.

    Anyone remember the center console replica?

    ...Also, do you have plans to make the switch panel to the left of the steering wheel ? I figure that if you could make that piece also you would have a chance to change the texture of the pieces & it would good since those two pieces are the only ones that would have to match.

    Anyone remember the center console replica?

    I'm down, do you take Paypal? When do you expect to have the 1st batch ready to ship? Also, does it have the same mounting points as the factory piece?

    Auto tranny ponderings

    I would put the cooler on & go for broke. I think you'll get good results with it. I've had my tranny rebuilt, but on thing I really want to do is get the new version Suprastick from Garrett so I can cut the shifting time. The heat generated from shifting is what kills the A340E, IMHO. Plus...

    New EXHaust System out on the market for our cars...

    A fool & his money is soon parted. Can I afford to spend a lot of money on my MKIII? Absolutely. Could I afford a MKIV? Absolutely. Do I waste my money on stupid shit? Not a chance in hell, but waste yours if you feel the need.

    HELP: Cooling System Problems

    Make a simple check. Take off your oil filler cap & see if it's milky brown on the bottom. Sounds like a BHG to me. Sorry.

    strange power steering problem...

    This has happened to me twice now...it doesn't make any sense. I've taken my car to the redline twice, and afterwards my PS feels like the belt broke, leaving the steering unassisted. After about ten minutes of driving it come back around to normal. The first time I thought the fluid...
