    The diamond in the rough. 1991 blue metallic turbo targa restoration

    Interesting. I wouldn't mind if its a bit stiffer as I find that the OEM suspension to be a bit soft for aggressive driving.(The car currently has KYBs on it) This weekend I plan to get the rest of the parts taken out of the engine bay and degrease, pressure wash and start sanding/stripping...

    The Small Questions Thread

    The only reason it came to my mind is that is a huge problem with the BMW 335i and I've been fighting with mine for months. You can generally either shim the arm and it will go away... best way to test is get a screwdriver or something metal(since its hot)and put it on the arm then rev the...

    The Small Questions Thread

    No just put a air filter on the nipple. It doesn't need the hose since the engine is no longer MAF based. I bought a $10 filter from autozone(link )and bored it out slightly with a drill and it fit perfectly. I will say when I had the hood up and started the car cold that little filter was...

    Yup.. Compression is 1-120 2-80 3-145 4-80 5-150 6-140. The HG is blown I assume between the cylinder and an oil passage as it was shitting smoke in boost and i lost about a quart of oil in a 30 minute drive...No overheating or anything too bad. Ah well, time for real power. While I agree with...

    Thanks man! Yea its grown a lot, that's why I needed to take an inventory on it all. The map ecu 2 has honestly been great! It took a while to get the KVF elimination to work properly but I am finally getting it ironed out and its very user friendly overall and the MAP ecu forum has been a...

    I have not tried them, but I don't think I've ever had an issue of the bolts loosening up when using the ARP washers. I have ARP headbolts in the 7mgte and have ARP headstuds for the 2jz. Got some free time this weekend so I worked on my stupid brake sticking issue(Disassembled the ABS unit and...

    I got my kit from http://www.mydipkit.com/index.html . It is actually pretty easy, I only screwed one piece up because I cut the tape on the edges and the pattern expanded to the full size of the tub and made the pattern look weird. I did my b-pillar trim mainly(without clearcoat in the...

    I went with automotivetouchup.com, however the color was way off so i would not reccomend them. I also got a paint pen from them that matched very very well. I emailed them to see what they say about the color not being even close to accurate. I forgot to add I picked up a set of CP pistons for...

    Yea its been great. I was looking for a car that could be practical and comfortable for daily driver use but still be able to put a huge smile on your face when you push it and this car does that absolutely flawlessly. There is definitely a disconnect compared to the supra with it being...
