    CP Tri Strut Barr

    Actually the Cowl section is relitively strong, stronger then a lot think. On another note, just because its a factory threaded hole doesn't mean that it is a strong point or any stronger then anywhere else. Just about all the threaded holes are just holes in the sheet metal with a nut...

    Headlight Question

    Like stated before, nothing that you can buy, but could be custom made. I am trying to work on something similar for mine. Dont get me wrong, I love pop-up, but I do a lot of night time highway driving and I have checked it a number of times and I loose between 2 to 3 miles to the gallon when...

    How to install door lock trim?

    I see what you mean, but now that you brought that to lite, If you look down at the bottom of it, it shows the clips. Now which one is the one, not really sure but I think that it is the middle one of the three. Thats what the little funky X and 4 dot symbol is for that is pigtailed off of the...

    Differential switch

    Yes they are different part numbers, but they are both 6tooth worms and the driven is 18 tooth for the turbo and 21tooth for the N/A. I put a 3.727 in a N/A car about 2months ago for a guy and just got the driven gear from a turbo car (33403-69195). It fit and works fine and the speedo is...

    How to install door lock trim?

    Yeah there are metal clips that break just about everytime you try to remove the trim. I know the complete peices are pretty cheap from the dealer, IIRC 4 or 5 bucks. I dont think that you can buy just the clips, plus they would probably be just as much.

    Differential switch

    Both the N/A and turbo auto trans have the same drive gear internally so if you go with the N/A 4:30 rear, just get the driven gear from a N/A auto trans. They are interchangable and is external (so to speek), its very simple to do. Just unhook the speedo cable down at the tranny and remove...

    Trans question

    Does anyone know if the speedo drive gear on the main shaft and driven gear in the speedo cable adapter are interchangable between the R145 and the W58 trans? I guess that my main concern is whether or not the drive gear on the tranny main shaft is interchangable between the two trannies. I...

    Natural to Turbo swap

    The manual sway is pretty much straight forward. You will need obviously the flywheel and clutch peices, the hydraulic components, and the clutch and brake pedal assembly, trans mount and crossmember, and driveshaft. Installing the pedal assembly is the only hard part. Everything else is...

    resonator question.....

    Mark, yeah the bottle neck into 2.5 is going to be a restriction. What kind of resonators are they? I'd try to get them swapped out for ones that have a 3" core section. Depending on make, I might be able to tell you someplace local that will swap them out for you if a 3" core section is...

    Wheel question (flame on)

    5 Zigen makes the FN01R-C's in black unless they discontinued them. Anyways, yes that wheel size that you listed will fit the MKIII. As for tire size, my seguestion is 235-45-17. This size is ever so slightly larger in diameter then stock tire size, but not enough to cause any problems and...
