    Some valve spring questions

    Hey guys. I've done a lot of searching, and I can't find much info on either of the following questions. (Regarding Comp Cams Part# 975) So, from what I've read, these don't fit perfectly. I saw that there was some speculation over whether or not the Comp springs would wear the sides of...

    Building an Engine "Tight"

    Hi all! I just dropped off my 7M at the machine shop, with a complete list of tolerances from the TSRM. I've read most of the guides on here regarding machining and rebuilding these things, so I brought it to the machinist's attention that I want to build the engine "tight". But then I got to...

    7M Cylinder Chamfer

    Hey guys! My machinist asked me if I want him to chamfer (bevel) the edges of the cylinder...he says he does it on almost all the blocks they machine and that it helps make assembly easier. He then showed me a BMW Z4 block making around 1000 hp that the customer requested that they leave sharp...

    RonnieK Front Subframe Bushings - Sleeve Play

    Camber Arm Symmetry

    I'm about 90% sure, but I just wanted to verify: are the rear camber arms symmetrical? As in, can I use a right arm on the left side? I have two good right camber arms they appear to be exactly the same as the left ones. Is this correct? Thanks!

    Whiteline Front Swaybar Endlinks

    Hey guys! I see that the front whiteline swaybar set comes with a set of endlinks...I was wondering how they hold up and perform vs. stock vs. heavy duty stainless ones. How crazy do you have to drive to break one? Also, does anyone have some insight regarding BIC vs Beech Performance...

    Factory Sound Deadening

    I pulled up my carpet and the factory sound deadening looks pretty hard. I hear the MK3 was a decently quiet car from the factory, but things can change in 25 years. Those of you who have ripped it out to save weight, how much of a difference was there? And how much quieter would the car be...

    Where did the AFM go?

    Sorry guys, I have a noob question. I've noticed that when a lot of 7M guys install a big turbo, they have a 4" intake with a big K&N filter; but the AFM is gone. How does this work, or where did the AFM go? Thanks, Jordan :)

    Pre-89 Fog Light Replacement

    Does Sylvania or another company make a suitable replacement for the pre-89, parallelogram shaped fog lights? Mine are murky and shattered.

    MK4 Steering Wheel on a MK3

    Hi SupraMania! I understand how unappreciated over-asked questions are, but I used the search function and could not find an answer. Is there a way to fit a MK4 steering wheel to the column of a MK3 and, with the necessary wiring modifications, have the cruise control still work? What I am...
