    Best place to install an aftermarket water temp sensor?

    Personally I don't really care what the temp is, the gauge is more of a comparative tool that you scan while driving. If it's doing something unusual there's an issue ;) I just use the stock one as while they may not be super accurate (no numbers) they are fairly reliable and I don't like...

    Best place to install an aftermarket water temp sensor?

    I'd go for somewhere in the cooling system if it were me ;) (Toyota took a guess)

    how to get camshafts off?

    Leave the belt on hold the crank pully bolt with a 19mm socket on a breaker bar then undo the Cam bolts..... (Usually just shocking a ratchet and socket on the cam pully bolts works fine)

    Today is the day!

    Again wow! 19 pulls in 1:45 I'd have spread that over 3 hours to let it stabilise temps. I'd treat that motor to an Oil change and some TLC it's a keeper ;)

    MKIII Brake line to MKIV Caliper, (A fitting question)(Pics)

    ASpec: I'm not too keen on using straight fittings on that type of calliper inlet as it puts the hose end at 90 degrees to the calliper body :(

    MKIII Brake line to MKIV Caliper, (A fitting question)(Pics)

    Personally I'd find a local brake shop and take them some samples and have correct lines made up to suit your combination. (this is how I did my AP Racing 4 spots as they use a banjo fitting like the Mk4's)
