If you do LMA, then do cam plugs and seals. But if you do not hear any clicking noise and have no leaks, you can postpone that to your next TB service.

If you just do TB and water pump, it is doable with the motor in. When you have the hoses (perhaps once every 2 or 3 timing belt change) or LMAs (once in a lifetime), it becomes more convenient to drop the motor.

Both clock and ccu have the same brightness. I have an aftermarket radio. Well, it seems we have to live with that.

The dimming mode is functional. The brightness switches from low to very low :ROFLMAO: So is there a way to have these VFDs bright again ? Or we can just wait and see them get darker and darker ?

Dear All, I did not find a real answer to this problem. My clock and AC/ventilation have a very low intensity. I think this is a matter of time that they become darker and darker. How can we get them brighter again ? Are there bulbs in the clock and AC modules ? Will new bulbs help recover a...

JDM gears are more than 0-100 mph times. On the street, with crossings, roundabout and tight turns, most accelerations are from 15 - 30 mph in 2nd gear (except if you are a wild animal and put the 1st) and this is exactly where the stock looooong 2nd is a nightmare. I really look forward to...

Not wheel bearings. Could be inside gearbox (differential). But I would first regrease the axles.

I took the time to do the IAB delete on both my cars. Cleaned the injectors at the same time and changed some gaskets and the fuel lines from the filter. None of the twelve plates were moving. Hence not a really useful operation. But I have the peace of mind. My but dyno says nothing special...

Left door gap in the front seems big.

Lower ball joint in the hub is no problem to press out and replace. As said before by Honcho, upper ball joint is a different story.

Motor is out on the Street Toy. After 9 years, it was time to do the belt service. We are doing also the coolant hoses as they are original I think. Also LMAs and cam plugs & gaskets (reason of the motor out) as I had a slight clicking noise. And the oil pan gasket as we were there. Ready for...

Thanks. I uploaded them. Seems that the proxy does not like pics hosted by Imgur.

Do you know why the pics on Imgur are not showing there ?

I realize that I never made a proper post here. So let's talk about my girls. '92 Track Tool I bought the car in 2005. It only had 19'000 km (12 kmiles). Now it has 50 kmiles. Drove it 4 years on the street and a bit on the track till I decided to make it my track tool. I decided not to go...

I think that the processus is easier (less modifications needed) when you come as resident (your car is a "moving good" and not a pure "import").
