Shifter hole FTW, just don't spill any MT90 in your interior, that stuff reeks.

Since the EGR only operates under vacuum, it's all fine anyway, the valve will work fine. There are some different ancillary pieces, but if it's just the valve that's nonfunctional on your GTE, it may be worth a try, but definitely test it before installing. Due to the nature of the EGR...

I can understand if the aftermarket BOV does mess with the ECU by not being recirculated, but say a recirculated SSQV shouldn't do that, that's the point of buying the recirculation fitting. Or a car that comes with a MAP sensor, such as the Dodge/Mitsu 2.2 turbos, the BOV wouldn't make the...

@jonathan1: Just for an aftermarket BOV? I wouldn't have thought that would have made the difference since it's not emissions equipment, directly. @starscream5000: The whole point of upgrading the fuel system is to raise FCO, either with something like an FCD and AFC, or the Lexus/550 mod...

Call me crazy, but I actually like this front. I don't like (and never have) the Testarossa widebody kit, but that grille looks pretty good to me. That's not to say, however, that I'd OWN such a car. ;)

Tanabe hyper Medallion exhaust: Nice. I have it, I like it. Some comments: HKS SSQV: If you do this, get the recirculation fitting, and recirculate it. Last thing you need is for it to go hard rich while being smogged. Without recirculation, that'll be an instant HC fail. With...

The axle code in a MA70 will be Gxx4 or Gxx5. The xx determines the axle ratio. This will be, as I recall, 28, 30, or 31, which is (By memory, I may be wrong) 4.300:1, 3.727:1 and 3.909:1 respectively. My car's axle code is G285, and it came with a 4.300:1 limited slip. The G indicates...

Running the stocker with ARP studs. I was on a severely tight budget when I did my overhaul, with zero budget for block machine work. I didn't have the budget for the head either, but ended up getting it done anyhow, as it really did need it. The block surface looked good, felt good, and a...

FYI, all Canadian spec NAs had limited slip. The amount that the speedo/odometer will be out can be compared directly from the ratios. I had a 3.909:1 (87T) differential in my '89NA for a long time, and the speedo was 10% out. (3.909 X 1.1 = 4.300) so if my speedo said I was doing 100...

What I'm reading is that you don't want to bother with a switch, you just want the fogs to come on when the ignition is on, and off when it isn't, correct? 1. Use a relay. There isn't really anything suitable for direct power use, but there may be a few things that can you can use a relay...

There's a reason that exhaust flex sections are made the way that they are.

Don't worry, Grim. I'm not looking to do what you did, since I plan on NOT blowing my motor.

Driveshaft loop = GOOD THING. I had an exhaust shop do something dumb with my old V8. When they mounted the exhaust, it pulled the e-brake cable up a bit. After a couple of weeks, and a few applications and releases of the e-brake, it came up a bit more. Just enough, in fact to touch the...

Zip ties on braided stainless. Now that's just... No braided stainless under my hood yet. There WILL be, since Driftmotion sent me the full length, master cylinder to slave cylinder braided clutch line instead of just the one from the factory hardline to the slave cylinder. (I have kind of...

I'm running ARP studs on an OEM gasket. Re-torqued studs to 85 lbs, as per ARP spec. I don't expect to have problems with this, and I am planning on going over 9 lbs. One thing that I am NOT planning on doing is playing with lean conditions. The factory mixture is pig rich, and there's...

@Rennat: Is this something that just started happening? How long has the shaft been in the car?

I don't know if it's common cathode or common annode. I bought some 7 segment common cathode displays, which I'll be able to use for other projects if this doesn't work. I have a couple of other things that I can use digit displays for, so it's not a waste if it doesn't work. I won't know...

I paid more for mine from SupraSport and got the "racing" option to eliminate the cat. It seemed to be cheaper than any other option that I found if I had to add a test pipe. I also got the LIPP elbow, which made it more expensive than the one piece, but leaves it potentially usable even if...

+1 on the "awsome info"

Well, if that was a code 34... Anyway, the thing to remember is that boost pressure isn't what triggers FCO, it's airflow. With an upgraded or larger turbo, there will be more flow at the same pressure. This is a good thing, but saying that FCO happens at X PSI isn't necessarily accurate...
