Better not. I don't have it on my car. ;)

I'm the type who has to have the car faster than it looks. Go before show.

For what year? It's different for pre '89 and post '89, with the switch somewhere in the middle of '89.

Yes, that's what you need to do. You can take the driver board from your tach and install it onto the '89+ tach. NOTE: The instrument itself may have some variances. My tach now reads low, and if I rev it to an indicated 6,000 RPM, I'll hit the rev limiter, which I believe to be at 7,000...

I got mine for next to nothing. I put it on while the weather was not so conducive to "spirited driving" so to date, I can't say that it's made or not made a difference. I expect that it won't, as I was/am sceptical to say the very least. I hear people insisting over and over again that they...

The stocks are short shank lugs, but they have an acorn tip for holding on the steel spares. Aftermarket short shanks ought to work fine, though I haven't used them myself.

Ask about TRD shift knobs. I've got one of those, which was cheaper than the stock replacement. I have my stock one, which I recovered in new leather, but the shift pattern plate is scratched. (The TRD one has the shift pattern embossed into the leather. No scorching on hot days.)

From looking into the parts before. (Swapped a turbo 3.909:1 LSD diffy into my '89NA with 4.300:1 LSD from factory) R154 gears will not fit into a W58, however, the A340 gears are interchangeable. if I'd had an auto, I could have got gears to fit. The A340 gears don't fit in either the...

You CAN do anyting that you want, and can afford. Bass is a problem in an A70 chassis. Even the 6.5" speakers from a '91+ model aren't that great, given the poor excuse of an enclosure that they got. I personally found that there was a "hole" between about 100Hz to 300Hz in the bass...

Exactly. The turbo pressure sensor just works the stock gauge. Sincce I put in a mechanical boost gauge when I swapped a 7M-GTE into my '89NA, I didnt' connect the sensor.

It's more than possible that some people have had the stock FPR fail on them, but didn't notice, because the J tube takes the job.

Check your VIN. JT2MA7xxx?xxxxxxx The ? will tell you the year. G=1986.5 H=1987 J=1988 K=1989 L=1990 M=1991 N=1992

4" and 5.25" speakers are drop-in. Plug 'em in. turn 'em on. You may need spacer rings for the front speakers. The stock boxes are really shallow. I just cut up the grilles that came with my 4" speakers. Cheap and easy.

For the wires: If you're going to be running off of deck power, the stock wires will be fine. I do highly recommend an external amplifier, in which case, I'd also run better wire. For the amp: To match with deck power, it's unlikely that you'll need more than 100W (real watts, not max) for...

The control line is eas to find on the turbo, the MBC shoud have instructions on what to do from there. People are trying to HELP you with things that they're reading in to you being new to the car, and adding boost. For one, you'll be running into the limitations of the stock fuel system...

I've got a turbonetics drop-in in the back of my car, soon to be in the front of my car. ;) The flange should be the same, seeing as how it's a bolt-on replacement.

My only issue with this is it's like a removable stereo face. You take it off dilligently every day for a few months, then it's just a bother. Eventually, you just don't bother reaching down under the dash for that switch when you're getting out of the car. Or worse, you're driving along...

Great info, but too much work for me. :) I'll leave my tail lights the way that they are. Without a way to quantify what the "best" is, there's no way that people are going to agree on everything. I like the '89+ interior better. I like the instruments, climate control and interior trim...

I like my '89. I like the taillights, and mirrors from an '89+ better than the '86.5-'88 ones. I like the instruments, and particularly the climate control appearance better. I like the 3 piece wing, though I don't have one. In Canada, the Mk3 never got an airbag, so we got the nice...

The stockers are completely open at the back. You could seal over the back of the enclosure easily enough, however then it would be extremely small airspace, which doesn't do a lot of good. I have a set that I was going to use that way, but I decided that it wasn't worthwhile.
