    FAKE: Brembo rotors?

    Direct from their website says they DO make rotors for our cars. Part numbers: Front: 25336 Rear: 25472 Sounds like the person you talked to was a moron and searched their upgrade GT line. GT line is a full BBK that comes slotted or drilled. You are correct though that Brembo doesn't...

    ABS removal help

    Modern ABS is 4 channel (each wheel) our ABS is 3 channel (rear wheels are on one channel). Sample and activation rate is higher on modern cars, but most of the time lack feel since it kicks in too early or tries to interpret your actions. On true performance cars it's not an issues (Evo...

    TRD Parts for MKIII

    Yes, but you'll have to change over the cruise control to a stalk like on the MKIV (or 90+ MKIII with airbag). Even then you have to modify the wheel a bit to mount the stalk (it's meant to eliminate it, but personally I like cruise control). Keep in mind the steering wheel isn't cheap...

    Rolling stop shut of engine, more problems 2/7/09

    IIRC that screw is covered with a plug that can be drilled out (same as the AFM) on the later models, if I find the spare TB I have I'll check...

    Best oil for the 7mgte

    Royal Purple uses marketing hype that it increases power on a dyno. Straight mineral oil will as well, it doesn't mean it's protecting the engine. Also, I checked my oil every time I got gas and it consumed quite a bit. Raced on the highway for a few miles, got rodknock. Check the oil after...

    FlyWheel Bolt problem

    I reused mine :D (keep in mind that they aren't torque to yeild, I was on a time constraint, and they aren't listed as one use in the TSRM)

    Rolling stop shut of engine, more problems 2/7/09

    The screw is a stop screw that is set from the factory so the throttle plate closes in a specific position. Much like the screw in the AFM housing is tuned at the factory. I'm unsure of how it should be adjusted, I'd make sure the throttle plate closed all the way without binding though...

    Best oil for the 7mgte

    - Haven't seen anything saying the AEM dryflows are better than the Apex'i. The only reason the AEM is better is they come in larger sizes for larger turbo inlet pipes. The media is the same style, and the Apex'i has a better internal cone system to promote flow. As there have been no tests...

    How can I avoid runing rich with a dump valve ?

    Or recirculate (sp?) Or just deal with the occasional pops from unburnt fuel lighting in the exhaust...

    Rolling stop shut of engine, more problems 2/7/09

    I'll second the comment about adjusting idle as there isn't any way to do it properly (idle is controlled through the idle control, not the throttlebody) Adjusting the TPS is easy, but you need to remove the throttlebody (clean it while it's off) and follow the TSRM on how to do it...

    FlyWheel Bolt problem

    Yep, red loctite as you can use an impact to remove them. But sounds like they're not being tightened correctly...

    Trick to getting IC pipe on/off

    Pre-89 is two piece, 89+ is one piece and a complete and utter nightmare to remove. I didn't remove my bumper, but I did unbolt that side from the fender and bend the bumper out (it's barely flexable enough). If I where to do it again I'd remove the bumper (it's easier than you think as...

    TRD Parts for MKIII

    Yep, TRD knob is the bomb (leather doesn't slip if your hands are sweaty, looks good, and it's weighted)

    ABS removal help

    Not to mention ABS is good in straight line, but ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY when trying to brake and steer hard at the same time. Personally I like the fact that it's more of a safety net instead of the modern brake system that if you tap the brakes fast will try and put you through the windsheild...

    TRD Parts for MKIII

    Yep, WRONG. Mike Urbano had one IIRC and there are very VERY few others (one is here in Texas last I knew and it's not even on a car)

    JIC lower arm bar

    Only a few where made, Lance (Rajunz) has one. THe JIC bar isn't going to do jack squat since the stock brace is right in front of it. I accidently left that brace off and I did notice the car feeling weird (thought I had left something loose so got under the car and noticed it missing)...
