I found it. Thanks, Rennat...you really saved my butt here...:icon_bigg Joe

Hi, I hate to bother everyone with a question like this, and I definitely feel foolish for asking, but I need a little information. If someone could help me out, I’d really appreciate it… I started tearing apart my 88T for a (yet another) BHG repair back at the beginning of November...

I’m a pro photographer, and while I have both digital and film SLRs, I prefer to shoot slide film (specifically Fujichrome Velvia 100) in both of my Canon EOS A2 camera bodies whenever possible. There are actually several reasons for this: 1: I started shooting with 35mm SLRs exclusively in...

Agreed. Chasing the threads is a must. Joe

I looked for the instruction sheet for you and found the torque specs you requested. According to the sheet that came with my studs, the torque specs are as follows: With the ARP moly lube, the final torque should be 80ft/lbs. With motor oil, ARP recommends 120ft/lbs with 30wt oil...

According to the instructions that came with my ARP head studs--which I still have handy, by the way--you’re supposed to tighten the studs hand tight. The instructions say you can put Loc-Tite on the threads, but that’s only if you have no intention of removing them. That could be the problem...

My vote is for the shaved plate look as I've never been a big fan of the Turbo A duct. Aside from not much liking the look of the A duct, you'd have to cut out part of the front bumper core to make it truly functional. Say what you like about that, but cutting your front bumper without...

I'm in agreement with the other people in this thread: I think your two best options are a bigger impact gun (e.g. a 3/4" gun) or a breaker bar with the mother of all extensions. When I pulled my crank pulley the last time, I used a breaker bar and put my jack handle on the end of it. In total...

While mine is in running condition, I have to admit I'm a little afraid to drive it some of the time. As far as I know, mine's never been wrecked, and I'd like to keep it that way...:icon_bigg

I saw an ad for a 94 RX7 a few years ago...apparently it was an EXTREMELY rare car, since it had a factory V6 engine...:3d_frown:

There's a local intersection over in Webster Groves (i.e. St Louis County) where the tires on ANY car break lose. The intersection in question is at Elm Avenue and Old Watson road by the Webster Groves Walgreens. No matter what the car, and no matter the tires, they're going to spin. On all of...

A 350-powered MK3 would be a very cool ride, but having done stuff like this in the past, I can tell you that there are quite a few custom parts/configurations to keep in mind: *Engine mounts *Transmission mount *Driveshaft *Headers *Exhaust *Transmission cooler feed line *Transmission...

While I like 80s hair bands, classical, country, and blues, my favorite genre is heavy metal/death metal: Slayer Cannibal Corpse Dimmu Borgir In Flames Slipknot Mudvayne Carcass Tool Marilyn Manson At The Gates Garden of Shadows Halford Nile Judas Priest Arch Enemy Hypocrisy...

If I were to put a few large boulders in my front yard, I think I'd be too tempted to put an artificial tail made of "craft fur" or something under one side of the boulder, and part of a dog leash under the other side of the boulder...just to freak people out and make them ask questions...:)

And this is why I ALWAYS put my Supra in the garage behind my house, even if I’m only going to be home for a few minutes. The red metallic Stratus in the pic was a stolen car (the second stolen car to hit my property since May of this year), and it drove right up my lawn and into my porch. At...

As I said, I vote for Rolla as far as a place outside of St Louis...That'd be fair to everyone in attendance, distance-wise, but I’d also vote for St Louis, as there’s a large number of Supras in town here. That’d be fair to those in StL, it’d give other people a nice road trip, it’d give us a...

SupraRacer01 has a 1J? I think I found him one night on Lindberg Blvd between Lindberg and Gravois and Lindberg and Watson Rd. Assuming it was him, it was a very impressive car… I know I suggested Jefferson City and Rolla as meeting places, but that was purely to pick locations that would be...

Well, I live in St Louis, so I say we have it here in St Louis…That way it’d be a really short drive for me. Just kidding…:biglaugh: I’d say the best location would be a “mid-point” in Missouri. That way everyone would have a bit of a drive to get there, and it would seem more fair to...

As lots of people have said previously in this thread, the fluttering is compressor surge, and it’ll shorten the life of your turbo. When the throttle plate closes each time you shift, the turbo is still creating boost. That boosted air slams into the throttle plate and bounces back through the...

I apologize for taking so long to post in this thread again. Between a “family crises” that’s taken a lot of my time, and a hard drive crash on a laptop I’ve owned for a grand total of nine friggin months, I haven’t had the chance to respond before this. Quite frankly, it's been a long couple of...
