You can go either way - pull off the retainer and replace the seal on the bench, or leave it on and replace it under the car. If the retainer is still nicely sealed against the block, I'd likely leave it on and deal with the pain of replacing the seal while under the car. The only thing I put...

What he said. You need something to balance out the fact that your Fuel Injectors are 25% larger than normal.

Cable is a PITA to change, but it's certainly not impossible for the average joe to do. And it's by far the most common cause for this.

The 'best' way is to buy a fields harness and wire everything into that, so that you don't have to cut the original harness in any way. Failing that, there are two accepted methods, and lots of debate over which one is better. 1. Cut the harness, slide on heat shrink tubing, solder the three...

It'll work fine without the fuel pump, just don't push it unless you have access to datalogging and a wideband.

No idea, I bought the rims second hand, and they were already on a Mk3 so I knew they would fit. Anyone know where / what to measure to figure this out?

IMO, one of his largest mistakes was assuming that the admin staff here had taken sides in the battle because we didn't respond to his PMs immediately. I've said this many times, (and I'll probably say it many more), you shouldn't *expect* a reply in less than three days. If you need a...

Banned. It's a long story, but the cliffs version reads something like so: He tried to screw one guy over for something done by someone else. The one guy was Mike - Supracentral. It was completely ridiculous - imagine someone filing a legal suit against the fire department because the...

Dr Jonez carries them, great place to buy. MAFT Pro is essentially the same as a SAFC, plus it has the ability to support other air measuring devices (Like MAP), spark control, boost control, and WOT autotuning via wideband.

225 was what I had on there before, this way I didn't need to test fit and worry about rubbing on turns. I've never managed to break the front wheels loose, so obviously the contact patch was big enough.

Wear is a consideration for sure, but I don't put many miles on the car anymore, 7000km / year if I'm lucky. I'm more than willing to throw $500 / year at my car in tires, you gotta pay to play. I had Falken Azenis Sport tires on there before, they stuck to the road like glue. Ya, mold...

No idea yet, only 75km on them so far.

This thread needs better pics so we can laugh harder. I'm already laughing pretty hard.

Just got back from the shop, where I picked up new tires. Falken Azenis RT-615, fronts are 225/45R17, rears are 275/40R17.

Hit up an herbal store and pick up some lecithin capsules. The body uses it to repair damage done to ligaments & tendons, it'll cut healing time enough to make it worthwhile. Picked up this tip from a professional dancer way back, now I use it to recover from nasty mountain bike rides.

And yes, you should have it.

It also tends to destroy the crank, which is a $900 part, and needs at least that in labor to replace. You need two of them, they aren't expensive. Part number 90280-05003 $2.64

Only one place to buy a new crank, and that's Toyota. $900.00 US, part number 13411-42030

In kindergarten, I learned that when I do something wrong, even if it's an accident, I say sorry. It's been a few years since then, but this skill has always stood me in good stead. You should try it one day, perhaps the added Karma would elicit a useful response from the community, despite...

Agreed. A 57 trim is as big as anyone has managed to make last. My 60-1 didn't make it 5000 miles. Hell, it only barely made 1500.
