Fords, Hondas, a Mitsubishi, Several Toyotas (Including a 85 Corolla GT-S). But I think I have finally found myself a Good streetable, Luxuary sport car...

    NC's tougher inspections

    Man, there cracking down here in North Carolina. Older models including our beloved MKIII's are spaired the horrior of an emissions test, But the real pain is poping the hood.

    Need some serious advice ASAP! :)

    Remove the ps rack and use a modified 5.0 rack this will tighten up stering a little, and remove the weight of the power stering, and p/s equipment. As for the rear end I would go with Kaaz they have alot of exp. with toyota's mainly Trueno's, but there still good quality and you are aloud the...

    My 280ZX Turbo

    Here's my current "For Sale" project car. It's a 1982 280ZX Turbo, It had been sitting for several years, so after precautionary fuel system replacements and scrubbed gas tank. I cranked her up and brought her home. She missfires and doesn't want to boost or rev. The engine it'self is in beyond...

    MK3 or MK4?????

    I am sorry but I just spent too much time obsessing over mkIII's. Did you know the Turbo A edition was the fastest car in Japan from the time it came out till the R32 debut. That's history, and it made me proud everyday that at one time the car I drove, in racing trim was the fastest in Japan.

    I hit "THE ZONE"

    Well my town is in a valley surounded by mountains, so there are PLENTY of almost forgotten backroads. Now I will say that it is "Stupid and childish, not to mention dangerous. To practice all out on a public road. No matter if it is closed or not." But I have to go to Winston Salem to AutoCross...

    MK3 or MK4?????

    Anythings possible in this world. But I'd watch my ass on this one. Besides the questionable deal. To answer your question, The MKIV as expected is a newer more powerful and advanced model. The engine is almost bullet proof from the factory, the suspension is a playful mix of Luxary and sport...

    Supra Holset Dodge turbo Project revisited

    LOL, I am glad to see someone is working on this. My buddy jerry tried this 5 months ago on his Cyborg R. Problem was his 2.0 4g63T didn't have enough strength to spool it without the help of Nitrous, so the turbo was scraped. What I have been wondering is doing for the Supra, what Mitsu guys...

    Schooled a wannabe

    LOL, yeah I like a sports car to let me know it's a "Sports car". The B18 has pretty good low end torque for a honda. But if your coming from a torque monster like a Supra. It's slightly unimpressive. Still after experiancing what "Can" (but for the most part isn't) done to them, I have to...

    I hit "THE ZONE"

    Well today I got the chance to practice a bit in a 2001 Celica GT-S before AutoX later this month. There is a fairly long, EXTREMELY curvy backroad on the outskirts of town that has been shut down since the flooding last year. Basically it's 4 miles of perfect practice road, then a long...

    New part idea

    LOL, I already have several "bored at work" projects that I am acctually making that should help your spool up time. The air tank Idea was just a "wonder if it'll work" thing. The ideas I am making however. Well, let me put it this way it. Imagine a T78 spooling like a small factory turbo, and...

    Making a intake manifold

    Well bored at work again and for some odd reason intake manifolds poped up in my head. I'm a good welder, I can get unlimited aluminum plates at work as thick or thin as I want. And I have use of all the metal working tools I'd need just have to use them on my own time. So where can I go to...
