I'm going through some boxes of parts to sell and found this relic. Figured I'd post some pictures here for posterity and because I'll probably never see another one again. I went with a one-piece downpipe from the CT-26 but every now and then I think about swapping this back in. SupraSport...

Hey guys, Time I start looking around here again. The time is fast approaching for me to swap engines, especially if I can find one on the BST here :) I've basically put the Mk3 in cold storage since getting an IS250 and I really miss the rattles and shakes that a 25 year old car has. Grown...

Getting ready to change brake pads and rotors since I've got the front hubs apart for the wheel bearings and had a quick question: I've had Brembo rotors on the past few years with Porterfield R4-S pads and they've always squealed under light pressure at lower speeds (never been bothersome...

After all this time, I'm thinking of buying another car. The mk3 has almost 223k miles, my 89 F150 has around 150k, and I'm wondering what it'd be like to drive something made in this millenium! I remember seeing Rodel's thread of his GS300 (damn!), and it made me look at those cars in a...

Hey guys, Just got back from trying to get the car aligned and the shop found some very slight play in the front passenger side wheel. I've already replaced (in my own garage) bushings, tie rods, shocks/springs, sway bars so I figure I'll go ahead and replace these too. The shop quoted about...

Happy belated Thanksgiving! Just woke up out of a turkey coma and didn't know if anyone else had this problem. While driving yesterday, I noticed my trip meter/counter wasn't operating. It was stuck somewhere around 100. I reset it and it started rolling over normally, only to get stuck around...

Hey all, Had some extra time today and started to work on my HID problem again. I haven't been able to get them to switch between high/low since about 6 months after I installed them (a few years ago). I removed them and replaced the relays in the control box, but that didn't make a...

Hey all, Just got my car rejected for loose tie rods, so this morning I replaced both inner and outers with new pieces. While I was at it, I installed the tie rod end spacers for a little more steering angle (used red loctite after cleaning the threads thoroughly). I also used the claw washers...

Hey guys, tried posting this on a ford forum but got zero help. I just put a new y pipe and cat on but didn't make provisions for a smog pump, thinking I'd remove it later. However, now I read a few places that the cat will clog without a pump functioning. Since quite a few cars today run...

from time to time, i've gotten a chance to work on this. now, got parts in the mail and i'm ordering paint tomorrow. my question: i had to switch from a mechanical fuel pump to an electric (airtex, i think). i have to switch pumps to a 12v airtex which puts out 9 psi. the carb is recommended to...

Flipping through some of Mazda's exhibited tuners brought up this red 92 miata. I wouldn't mind owning one of these myself (think they're a great little track car) but why the hell would you take a nice trunk lid and sand the hell out of it? is there any point or history I'm missing...

Found a '95 4runner, 4wd auto, with almost 250k miles on the clock, but the body is straight and clean. no fender rot and absolutely no frame damage, but the engine is totally shot. Seller said it had been knocking for a while and one day while driving, the knocking sound started to increase...

i'm about to break this phone in half. worst one i've ever used, even switched back to my five year old vx8600 to avoid all the problems with this phone. terrible call quality horrible at handling texts keyboard/keypad not worth a damn slow/lagging freezes constantly taken it back to...

hey guys, getting ready to buy a techline coating to put on this manifold, but i'm slightly confused with these three choices: black satin turbo x cilgen satin black i think the turbo x color holds up best under temperature. looks like all three will air dry, but black satin and turbo...

I've had to rotate my dipstick tube 90° counterclockwise to clear the new manifold, but now the dipstick runs through runners 2 and 3, rubbing on 3. Can I bend the dipstick to clear the runners without touching, or will the heat hurt the dipstick handle/seal or other parts? I'm either going to...

Getting ready to put this pacesetter header on and I'm going to aim for putting the oxygen sensor on the back 3 collector (red dot) so its wire is facing towards the firewall. Is it possible to extend the wire with a butt splice or bullet connector and run it around the charcoal canister and...

finally found some time to work on the car tonight. going to take a pacesetter header and make it full 2.5" from the collectors to the cat. first off, made a miter box for the sawzall (never ordered the metal bandsaw, ugh). nobody around here mandrel bends pipe so i'll have to cut the angles...

hiked 8 miles round trip for this shot, between 18-20 inches of snow. up to 24 where it was drifting.

hey guys, getting ready to modify this header. would i be better getting this ground flat and running full beads around the runners on the opposite side of the flange?
