    Thinking Of Abandoning mkIII 2j project!

    how many 2J swaps do you see in MKIII's? how many are also singled? how many are THIS clean? FEW! if you quit now, all of your time was wasted for NOTHING, that is time you don't get back if you sell or part it out.

    Cooling fan options - Mechanical or Electric

    for long periods of time? at those speeds, your fan is just causing drag on the engine (yes, the fan clutch is supposed to stop this, but it's NOT perfect) I'd like to put the hydrofan setup on a 7M and see how it performs (if it's even doable), as I see that as a good compromise...

    fuel pumps need to be kept primed?

    tough to say, I've taken apart an old (and I mean OLD) fuel pump that still had fuel in it and the seals where disolved from the fuel. on the other hand they could shrink and become brittle, ect...

    I might sell my soul for Prosport Peak and Hold gauges

    see, if I get these, I'l have to mod my stock cluster to match em... (LED backlighting, repaint the needles) but damn they look good, hell you could probably disassemble em and take out the tinted front and make a clear front for em, but then you'd have to turn the backlight WAY down...

    PS pump pulley removal

    if you can afford to destroy that line (if it's old, it's gonna go soon anyways), then zip if off with an impact... if not, well, it's not going to be easy or fun, I'd pull everything I could from that side of the engine to make room, and if you have an engine house, undo the motor mounts and...

    XTD Clutch scam!

    fine, anyone that has bought one of their clutch kits, measure the thickness of the diaphram spring and tell me if it's thicker... it CAN'T be thicker anyways since then the hub assembly won't fit, so this guy doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground...

    1st R154 clutch change

    getting the assembly right is CRITICAL, as if you don't it will spin the snap ring, machining the lip off the hub and then you have nothing pulling on the PP... inspect the hub for wear (post pics, I can tell you easily), and I would recomend buying a new throwout bearing, and all the...

    gates racing timing belt?

    timing belts on these cars are fine, greddy is a bit too expensive IMHO (maybe if you had a clear timing cover and nice cam gears I can see you wanting something nice...) now if only they made it in red LOL

    Cooling fan options - Mechanical or Electric

    he's N/A, so you can run that timing, on a turbo motor you're just wishing for a dead engine... E-fans are FINE, as long as you don't skimp out on them. They'll cool better in stop and go traffic because it's not RPM dependant. If NOT wired properly, and not sized right or using crappy...
