    Rear subframe bushings...

    I was wondering if anyone knew the outside diameter of the rear subframe bushing, and also the inside bolt hole diameter. I was thinking about getting some alloy spacers. I jacked up the car the other day, and it looks like i've got almost a half inch of freeplay in the back end's bushings...

    Well, i dunno what kind of time I'll have before the Commerce meet. I'm out of town now till the 10th, probably, and I have my daughter's HS graduation in Charlotte on the 11th-12th, then i go out for another week of work, then the meet. I'm tired just thinking about it.

    The Notorious 90 Degree hose

    true, but you'd have to weld on some fittings. I'm not sure if it'd be long enough to incorporate a section of ss long enough to make the turn, and a hard line wouldn't work too well, as stated previously. ...would be pretty sweet though.

    Another widebody MKIII

    Honestly, I don't mind the bodykit at all. But as mentioned, I would get rid of the faux 6-pipe exhaust, and there wouldn't be any Ferarri badging on it. I believe it was called the Testarossa kit at one time, as it uses actual TR front lights in the bumper.

    Norwegian mk3 7M

    Not very good driving, but a great build. Maybe you should try using less throttle in the turns, so you save tire, and go faster?

    This or that? Need opinions!!

    Interior pieces are hard to find?? no. A dent is easy to fix? maybe. If its in the rear quarter panel it sux. I'd rather have a dent in a replaceable panel imo. As for the interior, what exactly is trashed? If it's the dash, then yeah, that's a pita. Anything else is easy to replace, especially...

    Ebay mufflers, are they that bad?

    I have an Ebay special, 3" inlet. Had it on for 2+ years, no problems with it. However, I am planning on ditching it, and going with a Borla SS oval muffler, with dual outlet, and getting some nice tips for it. I will also add a midpoint resonator. Ultimately, I want it to look and sound as if...

    7mgte valve shims

    I've bought from them, though their prices used to be much better than they are now. I recommend the following: http://www.cylinderheadsupply.com/index.html This'll save you 2 or 3 bucks for every 4 discs you buy, compared to Goodson.

    Supra won't stay on.

    A part of your wiring harness may be shorted, like on the engine somewhere. That would cause the fuse to blow. ps- check the codes, and post them.

    Help with figuring out my Code?

    Your catch can setup seems wrong. The only time you'd get any crankcase air to go to it would be during boost, and since it's vented to ATM, that means its a boost leak. The air filter should come off, and that end of the can should go to the accordian. PS- why don't you just test the AFM as...

    Lefty loosey...right?

    Toyota put them on so tight, that Chuck Norris had to use three fingers to loosen his. YES. I just made this a Chuck Norris thread.

    Lefty loosey...right?

    Yeah, generally it takes more than 160 ft-lbs to break it loose. ...then again...some people just check and find that the bolt is missing...

    Custom SC61 Setup.

    I would guess it'll have good spool, and decent midrange power.
