Stupid me thinking that "this shaft is brand new and should do this" lead me to replace parts that didnt...

    More Steering Angle for FREE

    I like this idea better than cutting and rewelding the knuckle arm, to me it seems more "safe." If someone would make, or cnc, a knuckle with a shorter arm and angle it in toward the engine just slightly to avoid the slight rotor contact i feel it would be perfect. I fear though it may be in...

    Smaller hole than Wastegate Valve? Consequences?

    Port it. No harm in making the hole bigger, chances are you will boost creep if you dont which is not good. ebay manifolds claim to have a set size hole, but if you measure it with a dial caliper its actually smaller

    The Small Questions Thread

    Anybody know a spray paint that matches the grey interior of a 91 turbo. It came with leather and i tried a charcoal grey vinyl paint but its a bit too light which makes me think i have a shadow grey interior not really sure how to confirm this. Found some duplicolor but they are a metallic finish.
