    MKIII aerodynamics question

    Wow, that looks very promising... thanks for sharing.

    MKIII aerodynamics question

    True, but when referring to changes from additions to the same vehicle they can be a bit more helpful... how much difference is the important factor. I do agree though, it's very important to remember that a .01 difference on one vehicle might not mean anything noticeable at all where it could...

    I second the motion!

    That much I'll concede... to a degree.

    MKIII aerodynamics question

    Well, first off, not once did I say they "don't work". I said "they're ineffective in regards to down force". The faster a vehicle moves the greater the negative pressure in the rear and any down force that may have been generated lessens as a result, UNLESS the wing is located high enough to be...

    Need pics of OEM wipers on the arm...

    Actually that's perfect! Thanks! I grabbed some on-arm windshield sprayers. Just trying to figure out the best location to mount them. They're pretty cool, they're the fluidic type (I think that's what people were referring to them as) like the newer Camry has. These mount on the bottom of the...

    Need pics of OEM wipers on the arm...

    Thanks. Hmmm... I'm not sure how I'm going to mount this. I thought the OEM blades mounted under the arms not above them. I also need a shot looking down along the windshield toward the hood. If you can oblige, doesn't need to show both, just a good view of one.

    right rear tire clicking?

    I'll check the lugs and ball joint. In my case I'm pretty sure it's not the parking brake, I replaced the entire brake with new parts and last I checked (a couple months ago) everything was tip top... BTW Clip a jingling from the wheel may be the parking brake... mine both sounded like I was...

    Need pics of OEM wipers on the arm...

    Hey guys, I need some pics of the MKIII with OEM wiper blades mounted on the arms... not any wipers using adapters. I need pics from a couple different angles. One looking down at the arm (so the blade is half covered by the arm) and one looking along the windshield (profile showing both blade...

    It's been covered on here before also on SF. It may take a bit, but I think you're probably going to have to search for it. It's not that common of a conversion.

    right rear tire clicking?

    I've got a similar noise. Only happens when I really gun it... rear right wheel. Sounds like the arcing of a stun gun. Bad bearing, perhaps?

    MKIII aerodynamics question

    When it comes to the stock spoilers they're ineffective in regards to downforce becuse they're situated right in the middle of the second largest low pressure area around the car. They'd have to be placed a good 6" higher to create any *appreciable* downforce. The stock units are indeed largely...

    anyone interested in CF #3 valve covers?

    That's the spot, some of the aftermarket galley covers I've seen are modeled after the stocker minus the plastic (perhaps it was once rubber) so the cuts are much broader leaving drain holes. Yours appear to come right to the edge, so a little sealant and it's as practical as the OEM gasket, but...

    anyone interested in CF #3 valve covers?

    Good to know, but check by the valve cover screw holes, if there's a gap there it'll pour right in. What I'd really like to see is a very thin galley cover with a rubber gasket which seals all the way. Then you'd mount what ever cover you like and maintain functionality. It'd go on like this...

    Installing gauges

    The other option would be pulling the stock sensors and putting the new ones in those locations.

    Installing gauges

    I think an inline adapter for an oil line (such as that on a relocation kit) is the most accurate... well that or drilling and tapping an oil passage in the block. As for coolant temp, I think the best location would be in the thermostat housing before the thermostat.

    1 Day paint Lifetime regret

    I'm pretty sure I double checked the door handle seals with Jeff before. If that's what I'm thinking of, they're only available with the full assembly as suprajjang mentioned.

    1 Day paint Lifetime regret

    You could try something like Naptha. Use a good lint free rag, slightly dapmen the rag and very gently wipe the oversprayed areas down. Do not use too much and keep replacing the rag with a clean one when needed. Do not brush the solvent on or apply it directly to the weather stripping, or...

    Guages Dont Work HELP!!!!

    Well, I can tell you that you need to swap in an oil pressure sender from a US MKIII to fix that gauge. As for the other two it could be bad senders. Test them as detailed in the TSRM, and then check the wiring.
