Using stock radiator, so that I can keep the tranny cooling/lines like stock. Yeah, there's alot more to add... Like whining to the fiance, asking for more goodies, money... and patience ;-)

I posted this on SF, so I'm sure to get some flamage there... anyways, thought ya'll would enjoy.... ****************************************** Ya know, since I am an official Project Manager (yet my MKIII projects are out of control), I thought I'd share my preliminary/draft MS Project...

'cept when you have to drive in bumper-to-bumper traffic everyday... I enjoy the standard tranny and wouldn't have traded it for the world, 'til I got to Dallas. In Tampa Bay, you could actually get into 5th gear and cruise over 80MPH at times. Not here. Gonna enjoy my car and not try to...

FYI.... Cassio and I are waiting for our clips to arrive now. You need to start shopping for your source engine soon. I was talking to the importer earlier today and he's swamped with pre-orders now for the 2Js. Looks like the engine has gotten a bit more publicity recently and even other...

Hey Matt, Got your info... let's talk. I REALLY, (I mean REALLY) don't wanna spend any time/effort shipping all this stuff.... REALLY! E

someone replied to the post on SF about this... they had the driveshaft modified, which is what I'd like to do. I PMed him for pics/info, but he's not replied. Anyone else have pics/info of how the tranny is mounted, as well as the hybrid driveshaft? Thanx. E

I've been called a mother plenty of times!!!!!:evil2: Luv the avatar.... I love me!! Elvis

Ya know what...?!?!? I enjoy it too, which is why I have an MKIII ;-) Sometimes I just gotta get in da garage to unwind.... pulled a quite a few all-nighters too. I had a friend of mine get out of the Air Force... he chose mechanics as "retraining." He spent $20K in tools and was in debt...

I never got to take it to the track or do much more with it. Just got a temp tag on it and a few weeks later... well, water in the oil. However, it pulled pretty hard. I think the 1J or 2J is perfect (stock) for our heavy-@$$ MKIIIs. Doesn't take as much to get some power out of 'em...

1. 7MGTE complete : Currently running, no smoke, w/Mobile 1 Synthetic - (video being made of it running). It will be available in a couple of weeks. Engine Harness is ~4 month old auto (89+) - ~$400 3” Ebay elbow and downpipe (shiny) - $130, plus another $30 to have the flanges machined...

For timing belts etc... always go by the hours that the book tells you... FWIW: AAMco charges about $625 to pull and install a tranny (applied as a credit for overall repais tho)... but that's a rip off too. I was gonna have the Engine Lab in Tampa rebuild my 7M awhile back... They...

I've gone 1J, then 2J, then singled the 2J, and then found water in the oil (grrrrr!!). Went back to 7M for ease of availability/install (nothing fits better than stock). Now, I am going back to 2J. After all the trouble and thinking that staying stock would solve my problems and let me...

Sounds like the battery, or cable.... Not the starter (but could be). Before you go driving yourself (and everyone else) nuts, got got a $5 replacement cable from any auto parts store (take the battery and have them check it, while you're there). The cable I had was all corroded on the...

Mmmm.... I've done a few of these and NEVER put any weatherstripping (glue) between the seal and the rail. Just between the rail and the targa. You want to be able to pull that seal off, without Fing up and making it unusable. I've had to replace a couple, because the previous owners tried...

Do you know how many Puerto Ricans there are, named Jesus!?!? I'm trying not to be stereotyped, so I had to go with sumthin' different than my Puerto Rican, Catholic upbringing... Don't worry... a few Hail Mary's, Rosary prayers, Our Father's, and a confession and I'll be in Heaven with the...

Okay... for the persons bringing up racism... It exists, but not in this thread.... Matter of fact, I misread the whole thing, thinking it was "you know you are Puerto-Rican when..." 1st... Being Puerto Rican, is an "ethnic" thing. Hispanic, maybe. Black, maybe. Anglo-white like me...

...when you can get on da floor and bust some salsa-merengue moves w/your girl, while everyone else is kinda "trying." ...when you know what a coqui is.. (the drink too ;-) ...when you're in Texas, speaking Spanish, and even the Mexicans ask "where the hell U from?" ...when everybody in...

bollo means PU$$y to some ppl.... You wouldn't be aksin' for that at the bakery ;-) I shoulda thought of that one... Un bollo de pan, y media-libra de jamon.... MMMMm-mmm

...you know what real sofrito tastes like! ...you know all the novelas. ...you know that just about all PR women act like Rosie Perez (foul mouth and attitudes)...won't bring none home for mom to meet. I have an older sister, I can say it! ...buy an old Impala, thinking someone will...

... you know what a chancleta is and how your mom would use it without hesitation! ... have the flag on your rear view mirror and swear you're Boricua, but you ain't ever been there. ... you used to watch CHiPs and think Eric Estrada was representin'.
