    Mark III Offset Guide Thread.

    "Looks good" is totally subjective. Many people say the MkIV TT 17" rim looks too sunk in when put on the MkIII without a spacer. The funny part is the outer edge matches exactly where the stock sawblades sat (on the outer side only). Figure out how far out from stock looks good. I think...

    Mark III Offset Guide Thread.

    Actually it is easier than that. Step 1: Walk out to your car with a ruler and measure the distance from the inside edge of your tire to the shock Step 2: Enter your current setup numbers into the calculator Step 3: Enter your new desired setup numbers (width/offset) into the...

    Hose kit?

    Dang... do yourself a favor and call the guys at Champion Toyota Gulf Freeway or Elmhurst Toyota. I called my local parts guy for the accordian hose when mine broke. I nearly passed out when they gave me a price. I quickly called Jeff Watson. The hose arrived NEXT DAY AIR and was still...

    Hose kit?

    Yes, the HT kit will last longer than the stock rubber hoses. The problem is you can't use the HT kit for many of the hoses in the engine bay.

    Hose kit?

    I hope they were at least going to give you a mint with that F***job. DAYUMN! You had to have something else in that order to bump the price up a whole thousand dollars.

    Hose kit?

    I did replace all of my hoses many years ago - 97/98 I believe. I'll be doing it again this summer just for good measure - I've put ~100,000 miles on those hoses and they are now dried out. When I did it before I just called up my local parts guy and asked for every (non-vacuum) hose under...

    Paypal Fees????

    True... but by NOT consciously factoring the fees in your pricing you still factored the fees into your pricing. I totally see why shopA would want to call out the fees sep. This could mean the difference of their pricing being a few $$ less than shopB and could swing consumerC's sale...

    Paypal Fees????

    That is true. If you think any seller doesn't just put these fees somewhere else then I've got some great swampland to sell you.

    Best Product for Rubber / Plastic rejuvenation (Door Seals...)

    For the seals (doors, sport roof, etc) the Miata group (oops that should have been MR2 group - oh well they're both little teensy cars right) - found something that was GREAT at making them all nice and soft again. I'll see if I can find out what that was again (but you have to buy it in large...

    blower fan problems, maybe the resistor?

    If the fan doesn't blow then you may need to replace the actual motor. I had that problem in my 89. I did replace the resistor pack and that didn't fix anything so I dug in a bit deeper and found my motor was gunked up. A quick replacement later and I had air circulating again.

    Wheel fitment question

    Actually using the calculator (in the link I posted above damnit) the wheel will sit out 5mm more than the stock sawblades (front) and stick out 17mm more in the back. Compared to the MkIV Rims (information about those rims ALSO in the link posted above) the fronts will sit out 5mm - this is...

    300hp

    No offense taken. Actually I ran on two different dynos - one in Vegas and one in Portland (both dynojets) and they were very close. What I am trying to say is that your engine may be tired so get a baseline before doing any mods to see how healthy your engine is before starting down the...

    Battery keep losing juice...HELP??

    The MkIII will slowly drain the battery if you leave it sit. Get a battery tender (trickle charger) and leave that connected for those long (read more than a couple days) periods between starting.
