Dimensionally, they are the same size. The two major differences between the two are inlet location (which you already knew), and the location of the lower mounting pins. To allow the 1G radiator to fit in a 2G, the lower mounting points need...

As mentioned, these are back in stock and shipping daily! 25 pairs went out the door today. This is the last set of handles you'll ever need. Say no to swapping your plastic ones 19 times and climbing across the seats to get in your car. ;-)...

Took it for the first drive yesterday. Although only a few miles everything went well. No crazy noises and no puddles under it LOL. Today I decided to wash it up and give it a quick detail.

Painting.

Some smaller jobs that I’ve neglected. Swapped passenger side air bag for one that has less pealing, replaced passenger’s side mirror interior trim because it was cracked, and cerakote all the exterior trim.

There is a point where lively discussion and razzing crosses into hostility and public shaming. It’s better to state what you know or think rather than what someone else doesn’t know. Ujoints are getting scarce as are lots of parts. We need to...

It's unfortunate that some people find the need to attack people constantly and don't understand that their good points and information get lost in the messaging and vitriol. The exact reason I've never had any social media, don't have the time...

My current parts are not heat treated nor need to be so thats why i make them. So im not an expert on hest treatments and hows that a reflection on other items i make? You know how this makes you look right! Anything like this that requires any...

It's scary that you make the parts you make with such a lack of understanding of these engineering and manufacturing principles. You best figure out how to test it so you don't dump some fail prone junk on your customers.

You do realise that through and induction hardening is just a version right and its not set to just 1 thing. You have many forms of either or. We dont know whats been done to them exactly. Those are the 2 most common ones i just mentioned, im not...

I've had this GMB saved in my Summit wish list for a while, was told it works on a DSM and isn't cross drilled, similar to the OEMhttps://www.summitracing.com/parts/gmb-220-0107

Looking on RockAuto, the GMB U-joint seems to have the same design as factory, however, it does look like its cross drilled. This might be a silly comment, but has anyone contacted GMB regarding these U joints, and see if they can produce...

is just a rough sketch and no actual sizes to compare but its doable for sure. if these break in stock form they can be made stronger still and / or a better material even

The first part of your question is answered in the above post--"not to my knowledge", otherwise the post above would be moot. ;-)The second part, the cross shafts are seemingly a proprietary part.The bearings themselves, I can track down, but...

I was emailing with another OG DSM owner tonight, who is rebuilding a 1G AWD for his son.He contacts me when they're working though another segment of the car (MUCH appreciated, and I'm honored), and today, we've been working on rebuilding the...

Wow, where did you find the Evo 3 5th gear?

RB Racing 03-1040 pump, MT-90 fluid and the filter I haven't decided what micron size to use yet.Transmission is a DSM AWD with an EVO I 2.571 1st, 1.60 2nd, stock ratio 1.115 3rd and 0.833 4th. 2nd, 3rd and 4th I converted to double syncro...

I mean this genuinely, glad you're still with us. Your knowledge is worth more than gold, man.

Thanks twicks69.My goals are unorthodox. I wish to create a sort of tribute, a 98 TSI AWD Final Edition if you will. A properly spec'd DSM, the way the dealer should have let us build these cars in the final years.I think an evo rear end type...

His videos are detailed like no other. If you get on his Patreon he answers questions and does occasionally throw up other vids that don’t go on YouTube. I’ve been on it for quite some time now and wait like a crack junky for his next videos to...
