    Who is reponsible >:( ???

    I've been an automotive tech. for 20 years and this part " alignment shops do not take wheels off " of your statement is flat out INCORRECT. It is correct that the vehicle in question there is no reason to take the wheels off does not mean that they did not. Some vehicle and some alignment...

    Car developed a hum/vibration going straight ahead, and louder in a left hand turn. Goes dead silent in a right hand turn A couple of local mechanics(one vdub guy, and one t-bird guy) said it should be the right side, given the symptoms This is incorrect as you found out the hard way. It...

    Why does the 01M suck??

    my understanding and I may be totally incorrect on this is that the DRW has 3 under drives 1,2,3 and 3 over drives 4,5,6. there is no 1:1. I also believe that the 5th in the DRW is very near the same as the O2J 5-speed and there for the 6th gear is high or lower(depends on how you look at it)...

    Why does the 01M suck??

    I have 2 O1M tranies both with Blown side gears in the diffs. One also has no reverse and the other does not shift right in forward. I would have to say the biggest thing that sucks about the O1M........IS the COST for repair or REPLACEMENT. That is why I now have a DRW, which handles my...

    I got $moked

    I personally like and chose the 600-2200 SW EGT. Reason behind the choice. The only reason I can see to even have an EGT gauge is so that you KNOW if you got it to HOT, once a 1600 gauge maxes out you have no idea what is going on at that point. just my two cents.

    I got $moked

    I only scanned through most of the posted but did he ever mention if his probe was pre or post turbo. I think I missed it. When I was a RC3 I had seen 1900 EGT before i let off. Now with RC5 I have only seen about 1500 but it was climing fast and would have no problem going much high. I was...

    Pissed about the price of BioDiesel

    If the Bio that you are buying uses Methanol during processing then the price on oil will have a direct effect on it. Methanol is made from oil. The price per drum of Methanol here has increased $100 in the last year. It went from $198 an drum to $298.

    Low pixel MFA

    Jeff had the cluster and the ECU about a week ago. So I suspect that there should not be a problem with them or the programing. I have reset every thing and am going to watch it more closely to see what happens on this next tank. The reason I ask it it seems a lot more than just a bit optimistic.

    MK4 FK Angel Eye Headlights with HID's?

    I have not actually done the wiring yet, but I have (or had) the information around here. It is also on the forums, I believe the oringal poster changed it so that his fogs came on instead of the low beems. I may have changed my plans at this point... to wiring up the angel eyes and the second...

    Low pixel MFA

    I just installed my Low pixel last week. I love the new look but I would like to know does it take it a few tanks to program itself? It seems to be reporting unusually high milage for me.

    MK4 FK Angel Eye Headlights with HID's?

    Run out of hieght adjustment is just how I broke my adjuster. It stopped I gave it just a smig more and snap, was interesting to see how easily it broke. The led cluster I used, www.customdynamics.com/motorcycle_led_bulbs.htm I used the 48 led amber with 3 wires. 1.85" in diameter. works great.

    battery problem?

    Make sure that your charging system is working correctly. Your symptoms are just like a dead battery. Do you have anything added to the car that is pulling a large load? How is your normal driving and power usage. on a daily basis?
