The 4.10 Torsen found in the TTR was also known to be a bit weaker than the clutch type diffs.

Double check all your hoses and clamps as well. Did you replace the lines? If not, you may find yourself doing that sooner than later whether you want to or not. Ask me how I know that one. ;) I've found that nearly all of my little water leaks over the years were due to my failure to properly...

As for exhaust routing, look at Limequat's build thread, should give you inspiration on how to stuff a lot of engine and piping in the Mk3 bay. ;) Oh, by the way, your putting an iron SBC in your car mandates that you grow a mullet to sacrifice to Lynard Skynnard's remaining members.

Get a turkey baster, a small one, fairly long worked best for me. Turkey tasted like crap though. :p Why are you ending up with water in your spark plug galley?

I seem to remember having to tighten up the valve covers once in a while on my 7m's... also, I believe you can get the items you speak of with Driftmotion, at least the replacement hex bolts for the valve cover screws that like to strip out on you.

How is bridge porting cheating? Isn't it the same idea of porting a head on a piston engine? All you're doing is taking away material that Mazda put there, not adding anything... And a Lexus with a clutch? Blasphemy! That's like a Cadillac with a clutch... oh wait. Nevermind. :) As for...

I also posted up a thread in OT on that subject whenever I came across that on Jalopnik too. ;) Was a joke sir. Both my post and the Testarossa, even if they are beautiful... What differentiates a 180° V-engine from a boxer engine then? If I'm mistaken, then please enlighten me. I'd hate to...

Good engine that 1.8 BP that they used in these cars. They like boost, and are stout from the factory, much like the Toyota JZ. Had both of mine north of 10k rpm on accident... stupid super short shifters make 3-4 shifts into accidental 3-2 shifts a very real possibility.:arcadefre

I agree on the stance on the stock P-type. Every time I pass mine on the way out of the garage I can't help but smile. Pretty sure the struts are all blown, so it sits nice and low, looks mean. :) If we're talking the interior, I'd have to say the Mk4 would win that one for me. I've always...

I've helped in parting out one (yanked the very blown engine out with a Chevy Yukon haha!), but I've never junked one myself. If nothing else, I give, rather than destroy. I'd feel better giving a car to a friend or as a freebie for someone else to play with rather than destroy a car that has...

Wow, this guy is on something... trying to sell that for $6500 with nearly 200k on the clock and it isn't in mint cosmetic shape? As for the Corvette thing, he only wastes them because the geezers that drive Vettes don't realize that he wants to run them. :p

Haha, this is true... everything has it's purpose though. I'd rather drive from here to Florida and back in my car than drive to Denver and back in an S-car... But for drifting, I'd argue that you gotta pick a more suited car for the task you're wanting to accomplish. Not saying Mk3's are...

All an LS6 (to my memory) is a cammed and head swapped LS1, no? You can easily get an LS1 to play nice with head work and cams. Hell, 400rwhp isn't at all a stretch with the mentioned mods. Used to run my stock LS1 up to ~6200 (whatever rev limit the car had to spoil the fun) all the time, no...

Custom line inside? Hondabond is what holds my motor together. IJ has posted a pic of the stuff in it's generic name in the oil/lubrication section. I can't remember the exact name of the stuff though... As always, I'll recommend that you change anything rubber now, that you don't want to...

Haha, wasn't *not* on purpose Grim. ;)

True, but warranties are for people without tools. If you had that kind of money, you probably aren't worried too terribly much about things breaking anyway, right? ;) Recently read something about a tab of some sort on the last Skyline platform, it had a little yellow tab that could be...

Looks nice, but I'd be afraid to drive the thing when it gets wet outside. I'd make sure all my under body panels were in place for sure!

I'd say you're doing it right sir, for doing that without boost. Where abouts are you on elevation? I'm surprised an NA could do that...

I'm with the couple guys above me. Looks cool, but useless at the same time. Nothing like having a 1" wide contact patch and broken bumper covers because you drive in the real world... Now if it were a bagged car and this was just how he parked, definitely cool. Driving like that though?

All depends on what car you're using. There was a guy who machined tie rod spacers for the Mk3 though, helped with steering angle a bit. If you're just starting out with this sort of thing though, might I recommend an easier to maintain, possibly cheaper car to use? I believe it was IJ who...
