It will work fine and I've done it myself on other applications. Put the line in a vise and squeeze it as tightly closed as you can then bronze it shut (I wouldn't weld, I bronze anything I'm trying to keep from leaking in general). It will last several lifetimes. I went and looked at my...

Getting back to this thread (finally) sorry for the delay. Interesting ideas and I'll give you some guidance. Talked to the painter today and his thoughts on color are (I hope you're sitting down) Bosom (since this is a family forum, I think you know what he really called it) Pink with Lime...

Makes perfect sense. I hadn't considered the effect of the ECU running in closed loop mode and having it switch maps. Thanks. John Stricker Russell, KS DOGMA Racing ---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ---------- I agree. I even have one on...

That's interesting. I just went and looked at one of my spare AFM housings and sure enough, there it was. :) I also have a Lexus housing and they have one too, although it's huge compared to the stock one. I'm going to have to think about what they're doing there (although I don't doubt what...

Believe me, I'm taking all of this to heart, you guys have the turbo experience, I don't! (well, unless you count diesel blowers and turbos where I think I might have most people here beat, but that's an animal with different stripes.) I'm pretty much planning on replacing the oil pump with a...

Excellent, that's just what I'm looking for. All of the hoses will be new, certainly. The block and head will be surfaced with a new head gasket and ARP Studs. I'll do the search for the igniter mod you suggested, I'm completely unfamiliar with the Turbo's ignition having been dealing only...

This will be our first Lemons car that's been turbo'd. The other two we've run have both been N/A and we've had good luck with those motors for the most part. I'm looking for suggestions in two areas. First, the engine will be basically stock as far as power adders. Stock IC, stock turbo...

I looked up your results and you had a best lap time of 2:05 and change. Our best was 2:09 and change so you were running fast, well up in the top 5% of the group or so. Is there a thread detailing your exploits and/or the car? I'd like to know what you guys were running. You can PM me if...

That looks like Houston, was that this spring? We didn't make it down to that one because we were concentrating on getting ready for Denver. Are you going to make it over to New Orleans in November? Curious that your car and our "the blue car" have the same number. :) We got in the 60' of...

Here are some pictures of where the car is at right now. It's been gutted.., seriously gutted. :) The stock instrument cluster will be mounted to an aluminum fabbed bracket. I have the aluminum and it only costs a few dollars and the work I'll do myself. You can see the rollbar is...

A quick note on what the Lemons races are about.................. Put simply, the cars (in theory) can't cost more than $500 not counting safety equipment. Safety equipment includes the cage, seat, steering, instruments, lighting (in some cases), wheels, tires, brakes and all brake components...

So, now that I decided to build a third car with a new team, the search was on for a suitable donor car. A quick look on Craigslist came up with an ad for an "89" that had a blown head gasket and the engine was out of it, but all the parts were there and complete (supposedly). After a few...

You've all seen the coverage in different online and print publications and thought to yourselves "that would be pretty cool to do with a Supra". Well, I did the same thing except I've been doing it for abotu 3 years. First a bit of history. A few years ago a friend in CA contacted me and...

Greetings one and all. I've been lurking here for, oh, maybe a couple of years. I've been involved with a two Supra MKIII team running the 24 Hours of Lemons series mostly here in the central part of the country. We've been to Houston a couple of times, Denver, Omaha, Thunderhill in CA, a...
