    A Few Diff Rebuild Questions, Crush Collar?

    I'm pretty sure that all the aftermarket upgrades are steel, not aluminum. The included spacers are used so that you can set the proper preload by incrementally adding to the collars effective thickness(trial and error) till it is correct. It takes a bit of assembly/ disassembly, but you...

    My 88 mk3 work in progress

    Well, I have no problem with big tachs, but a racing tach is supposed to be positioned so you don't have to take your eyes from the road. So, I don't see how this is much better than the factory tach that's directly in front of you.

    Are all your windows' trims painted white? aside from that and the ricer tach, I like it.

    Divorced Downpipe vs Bellmouth/Widemouth

    BIC appeared to have proven that a seperated dp is better than a widemouth, because it reduced exhaust turbulence by reintroducing the wastegate gas downstream, rather than having the wastegate and turbine outlet gasses mix directly after the turbo.

    iamsuprman13's 91' MKIII Build

    I did that mod as well. As for the bushings, yes- energy suspension in black(they're graphite impregnated, unlike the red ones), and i might suggest Ronnie K. Subframe and steering rack bushings. This is the route i went. In the back, reinforce the rear subframe to avoid future cracks above the...

    iamsuprman13's 91' MKIII Build

    Awesome build. I always wanted to do a 1UZ swap. Just nice and simple; no turbos, no intercoolers, none of that piping, or piggyback wiring. Just a nice torquey cruiser with an auto, no less. But not for my current car, for the next one. :) Ps- if you really want to eventually do auto-X, etc...

    7mgte Rod Knock..

    I recently paid 150 for a freshly rebuilt one with arp's and bhg. Like Dan's, mine was a large rib block with 6m crank.
