IIRC they don't have larger injectors... They just have 8 of 'em instead of 6. You'll need to get your larger injectors elsewhere.

I have the Tanabe Hyper Medallion. It's actually quiet at cruise, but it does react to the loud pedal, for sure. ;)

Way off... If it's rated for 800W at 4 ohms, you might get 1300W at 2 ohms (Theoretically, it should be 1600, but that's only if the the PSU is going to be able to supply that before the voltage drops, and it isn't.) Basically, what the fuse means is that if your PSU draws the 1512W, the...

What? Is Porsche being sued? :) Understeer is more predictable, and easier to recover from, but either one can cause you to wreck your car. Understeer is easier to blame on the driver though. ;) Of course a more neutral stance will allow you to get the most out of the car, but that...

There is no idle adjustment screw. The idle is controlled by the ISC (Idle Speed Controller) which is that fitting that gets air from the accordian hose, and is located on the intake manifold, in front of the throttle body. The ECU uses that to adjust the idle. The fitting that you have open...

Naw. What you get in the pump is a tiny ball of hardened solder, which usually will fall back out the hole in the bulb. If not, you can usually remove the rubber and empty it out. I've never seen one "fill" though. You'd have to de-solder a LOT of connections before you got any signifigant...

Exactly. The amplifier fuses are supposed to be there to protect the amp. The power line fuse is there to protect your car. When I was competing, this had to be within 12" of the battery terminal. And yeah, I've known a lot of people who have told me how much power they have based on the...

Impressive. I've seen several attempts at making an aftermarket gauge fit in the stock location, but this is the first time that I've ever seen it succeed.

Sure, the pump things work, too. I personally find the wicks easier though.

Crutchfield's "Works in my car" means that there's a factory provision in which the component can be mounted, or that the component was specifically build for use with that car. Therefore the only think that "works with your car" are DIN and double DIN sized decks, and 4" speakers. (Their...

Running at too low an impedance will be a problem for the power supply. It will certainly TRY to run with more power, but what WILL happen is that the SMPS in the amplifier will top out. The amp will try to demand more power, but what will happen instead is the power supply voltage will droop...

That soldering iron would be fine. You just have to be careful to de-solder the original LEDs. Get some braided wick, and it's fairly easy.

2 Ohm DVC can be configured in parallel for 1 ohm, or series for 4 ohms. If you want to use 2 subs, then your best bet is to wire each one in series for a 4 ohm load, then wire one to each channel on your amp. This is the only way that your amp will be stable with these subs. Wiring a...

Did it last night. It's not that difficult, but desoldering is always finicky. You have to be careful not to damage the traces on the PCB. I had one trace lift on me, so I had to solder on a bit of wire to rebuild the circuit. I did the buttons in red, and the indicators in blue. (Damn...

Yeah... There actually IS a reason why the torque spec on those is 195 ft-lbs.

The stock clutch discs for the GE and the GTE have the same part number, so the discs themselves are interchangeable.

Hmmm... I wonder if there's a way that I could take the 1/24 scale Mk3 models that I have and use a pantograph type device to double the scale in foam. If I can do that, then I'll have a 1/12 scale model of a Mk3 which would fit on a 1/12 scale RC chassis. I think I'm going to have to...

My original vinyl shift boot got cut when my car got broken into in the fall. :( But I just went to a local leather shop and bought some garment leather out of the scrap bin (And some heavier leather, with which I re-covered the shift knob) and made a new shift boot. The leather looks and...

I will have... Probably this evening, since this is when I plan on doing the LED conversion. I also have some red plastic (Actually, it's supposed to be for IR remote windows) which I'm going to use for mine. I also have a bunch of these, which I bought for a different project, but ended up...

Okay. Post office money order, then. ;) FWIW, my LEDs arrived in the mail today. I'll see if I can get this done on the weekend. I have 100 each of 3mm LEDs red and blue. I already have 5mm LEDs in abundance in various colours, which I was using for other things. I probably could have...
