Safety car. LOL @ the irony.

anyone notice how the spread with the interior, has "easy access fuse panel" listed on the right, under number 18? I'm assuming they meant the coin tray. Could it be that the people putting these ads together couldn't bother to research the very product they were advertising? And the numer...

Has anyone ever tried polishing them? I normally hate shiny bling wheels, but on the spats, it might actually look pretty good.

can you just drill a hole in the frame "rail" and tap it?

Yeah, someone SHOULD make a replacement carpet...

The problem with hatch lock design is not the cylinder assembly itself, but the fact that it is held in from behind by a flimsy little c-clip. Some scumbag broke into my 86 a few years back by simply prying out the entire cylinder with nothing more than a flathead screwdriver. CNC billet or not, mak...

u know, I always wondered about that. Why DOESN'T it make boost in neutral? Or rather, HOW does it not make boost? How does it know that you're not in gear?

Holy crap. Do they cut the centers with a CNC mill? If I brought him a CAD file of my own design, do you think he could use it? This is crazy. Of course, I could NEVER afford it. But just the possibility is making me dizzy. I could have some really ONE-OFF wheels on my car.

How's the paint on those them there basketweaves? Are they all straight? I wonder how hard it'll be to find centercaps/locks for them there those things? What kinda beer are we talking about here? Do I get a case or just a six-pack? What is the answer to the question of Life, The Universe, and Every...

Dude, time to bust out the afro and the pimp-cane... Now, did you have this car SHIPPED from CA to NJ??? U craaaaazy.... :lol:...

Yeah, for real. PICS!!! You've been talking about this "Merkur" that you're supposedly getting, forever now. If we don't see pics real soon (i.e. REAL SOON), you will have your posting privileges taken away. :lol: Oh, and when you take your pics -- don't forget your pimp-cane. PICS PICS PI...

No price, means it's probably like $6,000,000,000.

3 words: LED Taillight Clusters. I want to make my own, but if you're good with the stuff -- I'll let you do all the hard work :lol: Seriously, though. The stock setup is godawful, and some nice LED brake-lamps also increase safety (marginally, I know) because of the almost instant-on properties of ...

I would have to say it like this: On my '86 it was the T5 conversion (from a C3 LOL). Followed closely by poly bushings and SPAX struts/springs/shocks. But the best conversion ever was when I converted from a rusted-out '86 to a really clean '88 :lol: On the '88 (which has very few mods so far), my ...
