My opinion on this subject is well known ;)

Second set looks a lot like work equips... But I agree, not looking in the "VWvortex Forums 5x112 Classifieds" section would be a goos start as you know every wheel in there WON'T fit...

Bingo ^^ I was lucky enough to find some in a junkyard as installing an aftermarket stereo without them wasn't very secure...

Gab is being helpful :D Yep, it's basicly a bumpstop to stop the mount from moving far enough to rip itself apart. IIRC it wasn't on all versions either...

...and hope you caught it before it did damage to the pump and rack. Cleaning the screen in the res. is easy as all you have to do is spray carb or brake cleaner in the opposite direction to the flow...

+1 for the Driftmotion oversized set. Stock sized helicoils pulled out of my head, the oversized ones have worked perfectly. I looked at time-serts and they where rediculously expensive, so didn't go that route. Also, the helicoils where installed with red loctite (have to clean the...

Haven't had my car apart THAT many times, but as I had to fix the stupid stuck slides on 3 of the calipers whne I bought the car, I remember fighting with the design. Personally hate sliding calipers, it's a shitty design and when the system wears it can cause issues...

The roof doesn't come with the driprails, seals, or the interior piece... More than likely it's the seals and/or the driprail to roof seal...

What's the ambient temp? What speed where you driving?

The rivet on the exhaust side is fine if the block/head hasn't been decked to the point where that part is level with the gasket surface.

Talking about torque... the stroker kits for the 2J are abundant now, so the playing feild is level. Stroker 2J is a monster...

LOL, that's what i was getting at Jeff, but didn't want to get into the details...

Because horsepower is a calculation based on torque and RPM, the higher you can rev, the more horsepower you will make (if it will flow enough). The reason people don't mod the piss out of a GE is that a GTE is by far a better choice in the HP/$ ratio. Not to mention the torque... Now...

I dunno if the GE throws a coade if the O2 sensor is disconnected because if I recall correctly the GTE throws a code becuase of the heater in the O2 sensor (GE doesn't have one). Dunno the extent of your N/A-T though... Actually, went out and redid the test (30MPH, 5th gear, floor it and...

Learn through the airforce? Working on airplanes will get you more cash than working on cars...

A good running and straight bodied delorean goes for ~$20K last I checked. (prices would have gone down recently just like all cars). I know it's crappy, but you can't do simple bodywork on one, and the bodypanels aren't cheap...

Does it have gas in it? :rofl:

It's 1 and 2 as the top slide is part of the body of the caliper and the pin is on the bracket... Bracket is attached to the the hub by two bolts. It's a pretty good design since if the one bolt holding the caliper in place falls out you're still fine for a short while (unlike some cars...

800HP isn't outflowing the stock rail...and looks are subjective.

Would be easy to make it practicle in the rain. If you're moving forward it's sucking air out so it's fine, and making some rain channels wouldn't be hard either... Your engine bay should be damn near waterproof anyway or you have something wrong...
