    300hp at the wheels on a budget.

    Start with an SAFCII and boost controller along with a 2.5" or 3" exhaust. A good tuner can raise your fuel cut with the SAFC. If your stock engine and turbo are in good shape, you can get close to 300 rwhp. Several people have done it with no problem. This link will give you the best bang for...

    Short throw shifter

    I now have a R154, but I tried the green truck bushing and the one that goes on the end of the shifter on my w58 and still had a very sloppy shifter. I may be wrong, but I think after 200K miles, the piece with the hole in it that keeps the shifter from coming out of the tranny was worn out. The...

    Domestic vs. Imports

    Tell them all the extra money you spend for parts is made up in horsepower and gas mileage.

    Power Steering Pump Question

    I have a dumber question. What does PPS stand for and what does it do? I have an MK2/7mgte engine swap and I bought another ps pump (PPS-smaller pulley) that does not leak. Should I have any problems if I use it? (other than having to buy another belt)

    Ive Been Formally Challenged To Race This Weekend

    If neither of you have been to the track before, you can greatly increase your odds by paying close attention to the lights BEFORE you race. Watch the lights and get your timing down. It will be hard to red light. Anticipate the next to last light and try leave exactly when it lights up. I doubt...

    Valve Removal Tool

    Be warned, the tool I posted earlier is too large in diameter to remove the keepers. It is only good for installing them. There is a tool out there that will is the right diameter to remove the keepers, but I don't have the link. I think the guy was selling it for over $100. You can use a...

    Valve Removal Tool

    I made the mistake of paying $50 for one from Snap On and found that it was a very cheap tool made in Tiawan for a high price. You can buy one for less: http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/lis36200.html but it will only allow you to install the keepers. To remove the keepers, get a 3/4" piece of PVC...

    Alabama and neighbors

    I am taking my wife out for a late Valentines dinner tonight, so I figured last night would be the only time to wash the Supra. I washed the whole car and decided to go back over the top when I realized that the water had frozen on the roof. I guess you could say it's clean; you can see where...

    Found rebuild DVD on ebay

    I bought one also and thought it was really good. The only thing is that the engine he rebuilds doesn't need any machining, so you don't get instructions on how to size the bearings or required head gasket thickness if the deck is machined. If you've never done one, it's a great video. The guy...

    Quick Teaser Update Almost Done *PICS*

    Unbelieveable! Great job! I'm interested to see what it looks like completed. Hope the hoses don't cover up too much. I gotta ask, how much for the intake manifold and where did you get it? Don't forget to update us with pics!
