    Transmission Problems

    Marlin is going to be expensive, but it's upgraded and they usually replace the gears as well. You'll have to break it in as well. People seem to think diffs and trannies don't need to be broken in, big misconseption...

    CB radio in car

    stock antenna is going to pick up jack shit... OP is talking aobut a PA system that's hooked up to the CB radio. Most people don't use CB's anymore since handheld radios have such great ranges and more channels.

    My restoration project - Rusty 89

    Yep, lower intercooler pipe and radiator pipe are a bit of a tight squeeze. What about a fan shroud?

    Plugging the floorboard (?)

    The floor is supposed to have what basicly is tar stuck in those dark spots, insulation over it all, and then the carpet. The tar is a noise insulator (dampener) like dynamat.

    godspeed aluminum radiator??

    They're all the same cheap chinese radiators. None use the top mounts for the radiator, and generally just don't fit. I run a koyo for a reason...

    O-Ringing 7 MGTE Block

    Yeah, but the discussion is intelligent (oh crap, I'm here...nevermind) What I find odd is that the factory headgasket uses copper sealing rings around the oil and water passages, but copper headgaskets have issues sealing there...

    water pump gasket went bad!

    Improper torque could definately be the cause (different torque for the studs and the bolts on the waterpump as well!)

    Speedo Accuracy in Videos - is 204 mph really 204 mph?

    I've also verified my tomtom with the radar signs on the side of the road, it's far more accurate than the stock speedo...if a bit slower ;) My tom tom is currently tracking 11 satellites, so I trust the accuracy. Normal display doens't show altitude, but there is an app to do it...

    Does anybody slide their mkIII?

    :3d_frown: Drag /= grip Time attack, wheel to wheel, most all racing is GRIP. It's faster around a corner, and as much as the drift fanboys will tell you otherwise, it's JUST as hard as keeping a car sideways. Car control is car control, period.

    Targa Seals - what year?
