    Undercut studs

    I've seen a few places offer ARP Undercut studs. They're apparently 10,000psi stronger than the normal ARP studs. From what I've read, they must be better. Is there something I'm overlooking? Which should i get, standard or undercut studs?

    BHG fix cost.

    Well I have a couple friends who race dirt track around here and they have some pretty serious engines in their cars. I'm going to get one of them to help me with some work (since I've helped them since I was 9 with theirs). I'm not going to get a shop to do it.

    BHG fix cost.

    I'm 99.7% sure it's a BHG. I can see some fluids coming out from beneath the head near the exhaust manifold at cylinder 6. I'm going to take the head off, take it to a good local engine shop to get it worked on. I'm also not sure which head gasket to go with. I want the most durable if I'm...

    Whats the highest speed you have ever gone in the MKIII?(nws)

    Tach reads 5000 at this point, I got it to 145 that day. I estimate by judging the tach reading at both speeds that my car is capable of just about 160 at 6500, and it felt like it could get there too, just started running out of road. I've gone this fast with and without the targa on. Targa...

    is a shell worth it?

    Have you considered or driven a mk3? I was a huge mk4 fan. Always have been, honestly always will be, but one day I saw an advertised 404hp mk3 supra for 2800 in the news paper, and just had to take him up on it. I have yet to regret that decision. What I'm getting to is, if you're young and...

    Cam gear - best sound

    I've got Borla header/downpipe/exhaust and flowmaster exhaust tip (no cat). Good deep sound at all ranges. I think if I change the sound with a bigger cam, it should sound damn good.

    Cam gear - best sound

    I'm talking about at idle. I know it's not going to roar at 5 grand like any v8. I just want a mean sounding idle. If you want to upgrade based on sound and go to ebay to upgrade, that's a bad idea. I want to upgrade my cams, and I'm willing to push some bigger bucks to get a more trusted...

    Cam gear - best sound

    5 pages of results on searching for "cam" has yielded little to no results for me. My head gasket's gone out, and when I take the head off, I'm gonna put new cams in it. I want something that is effective, as far as power goes, but I also want something that's going to give my car that throaty...

    racing and fuel cut

    I agree with this. There's no way to say which cars you will and won't beat. especially since you can't tell what they are packing. Also, what's the point of racing other completely stock cars just to say you beat em? They're stock! The street isn't the only place to race. I race my car at...

    FAST mk4 supra

    In my opinion, he needs to do something about that rediculous turbo lag he's got going on. Check out his power range, it peaks pretty steep, his hp comes on all at once instead of slow and steady. If he'd put another small turbo in there to spool the bigger one up faster, he'd be able to get to...

    FAST mk4 supra

    http://videos.streetfire.net/video/f09b929f-f30f-4356-b730-997c013868e6.htm Not sure if it's a repost, but I did check and couldn't find it. I know this isn't a mk4 forum, but that is a supra and it is impressive!

    JDM ROCKS!

    looks like it's the high bidder outbidding himself so he doesn't have to pay, and doesn't get penalized. look how the bidding jumped from $12 to $91.

    F40, 430, SLR, Gallardo, Mercialago, vs Supra

    We have about 3 gallardos around here and one murcielago. The silver gallardo is a guy with an ego. When my car was running right I kept up with him pretty good. It was amusing to see him keep looking over and seeing me.

    7mgte to 1j or 2j swap...need input!

    I had a mechanic that has been a professional toyota mechanic since '85 tell me that if I was going to go through the trouble to change the car to fit the new engine and transmission, I might as well spend just a little more and go for a chevy small block. Just what Toyota's finest thinks...

    So I just so happen to have a rapid prototyper(3d printer) and CNC.

    I bet if you got some high MCD surface-mount LEDs you could make a pretty sweet and simple LED tail light PCB.

    My mk3 and its problems

    Yeah, I know. I just get really frustrated when I can't fix something (ESPECIALLY if I caused the problem, which I have the last couple times it died). Who lives in chattanooga and is not busy tomorrow :)

    My mk3 and its problems

    This isn't the first time I've gotten pissed at it and decided to sell it. I wont part with the damn thing. It's so fun to drive. I just get frustrated when all this shit goes wrong. I'm new to turbos. Its my first import, lot of new things here and I don't completely understand most of it. I've...

    My mk3 and its problems

    Chattanooga. PM me for more details. I'm pretty sure it's not a BHG as of right now, because between the time when the car starts and the car overheats, it runs pretty damn strong even though the turbo is bad. The smoke is white though. There's nothing blue about the smoke.

    My mk3 and its problems

    Well. I went to get it and I have a code 11 and the car won't start. I think this means it's time to pick up a for sale sign.
