    How awesome is this awesome hood?

    That's too far forward, easiest way to find where it would be is to put the camera on a tripod, take a picture of the hood open and closed, ad then overlay in photoshop to see where it is. Anyway, as it's been discussed a million times, it's a nice hood design and we even the design RaceOne...

    CEL blinking under boost?

    Fuel cut is based on the amount of air over the AFM, not PSI. Don't go by the butt dyno and get a gauge... You'd probably be better to post this in the 7MGTE sectionas the electronics are 7M...

    Whats your fastest highway mph ??

    They do as been proven the past few years in Europe with MKIII's taking the stop spot at the events... There's a thread somewhere, but the cars are capable of handling the forces.

    Kaze Aerocraft

    There are people making knockoff Kaze parts now (that really aren't the same but very close in design).

    How do i mount this 3 piece wing?

    You're missing the hardware. There are two plastic pieces they get attached to the body that stick up and you screw into them. You'll need the snap inserts as well...

    Supra is rattling like crazy when I rev near 3k RPM

    Sounds like an exhaust leak as it's temp dependant. Its very possible given the water everywhere and the engine parts being hot as hell. How's the oil pressure look?

    can i drive my mk3 whit ethanol?

    Leaded gas + catalytic converter = bad Cat gets coated in the lead, clogs up and any power you where hoping to make it history. I am unsure of any other effects it would have on the other systems in the car like the O2 sensor or the fuel system. Though others seem to not have issues.

    Thermostat ?????

    BINGO, yep, the stock aux. fans are supposed to kick on in an overheat situation. They have their own circuit and sensor as well. Stock t-stat is marked 88C, which comes out to 190F...

    running lean

    It seems to be a very common trend recently of people having fuel issues and the usual reply is, "12V fuelpump mod!" I don't buy it as people have been using walbros for YEARS without having to mess with the wiring...

    Brand new clutch barely engages

    -check clutch pedal freeplay (very possible to cause this problem as it did on mine) -what's the condition of the flywheel? it's it's heavily worn and no longer has a backstep it could be an issue, but it wouldn't cause it to slip on a brand new clutch... -something wasn't assembled right...

    can i drive my mk3 whit ethanol?

    Nope, before ethanol they used other additives. The transition from lead happened decades ago while the transition to ethanol just happened recently.

    What are you reading?

    I'm in the third part of the book, and while the book starts slow, it's like a constantly rising climax. I'm enjoying it, but I'm one of the rare people that enjoyed Shakespeare in school so the language doesn't really throw me off... Once Francisco d'Anconia shows up, it livens the book...

    Why is my chain slipping?

    Too much lube attracts dirt, causing accelerated wear.

    Good deal?

    Car looks like it's in better shape than mine when I bought it... Needs a wash badly. Need more pics to really decide, but the price IS cheap.

    can i drive my mk3 whit ethanol?

    E85 is cheaper than racegas though... that and it's not leaded. I agree, the ONLY application I can see it being used effectively is in turbocharged cars. Would be interesting to see if you could tune it for both and retrofit one of the OEM octane sensors in the gas tank to swap maps...
