What did you do today to your 3/S?

[Turbo Beast]

Yes. My Big cams pull almost no vacuum. Have to neutral rev to get some vac so brakes can hold the car back to stall up for launch (auto trans). Wired up a relay triggered by brake lights to power pump.

Where did you get the pump? Im in the same boat, basically have no brakes after my vac canister is empty.

Used pump from an Audi. They are all over eBay. $35 I think.

Awesome! just found em! About to be the cheapest part on my car LOL

dropped my 91 TT at the auto shop to test the whole cooling system again , which shouldnt cost me anything this time. hopefully some good news tomorrow. gonna drive my 93 3kgt tonight since its gonna be nice out

[b_rad]

i found out that the reason my coolant is leaking is the worst spot, the head gasket. looks like i have to get ready for a big project of timing belt, gaskets, and anything else i can do while the whole things apart.. yay!

ive already planned on doing the lifters,valve stems, 120k maintenance,light crank pulley, cam gears, maybe a better radiator. any other good things to tackle while im doing this?

I think you covered it.

Just I'd do without the lighter crankpulley, personally. The heavier dampened one is there to reduce crank vibrations, thus protect your bearings. Some say it's not needed. I'd say better safe than sorry.

[Turbo Beast]

Dampened crank pulleys are your friend.

[b_rad]

not really familiar with the dampened pulleys. ill look those up.

of course the shop didnt charge the second look but the estimate for just head gasket and timing belt service was $3100...... plus they would be doing alot of restorative things in it too like replacing old hoses . i kinda knew id be coming into a restoring/modding project all at the same time . with 108k miles its getting to that point.

i know i can do the stuff myself but i have no garage and i would tackle this over several days. ive actually been considering finding a DIY carport design online so i can buy the raw materials and even doing that would save me money on taking it to a shop and keeping it protected.. i would take it to ninja but chris told me he is backed up for months and am waiting on a response from 3sx.

but there is always good news after the bad...i put a shiny new diamond star emblem on my 93 3kgt!
