    It's cool suprapowaz, trust me I want my car to run a hell of a lot more than I want to post here about why it isn't. I fliped the gas out, when I did the pump, but after reading up a bit more because of suprarx7nut's post, I decided the 3 month old gas I put in might be as bad as the gas I...

    Spoilers and Wings: Spoiler or wing

    Front wheel drive acually need the wing more than rwd. At least with rwd you can power into a turn and tuck the back end. Fwd you just towing the rest of your car like a kid with a little red wagon.

    Have a few questions..

    If it helps there are better ones round. I just picked up a pretty clean 87n/a for 500. Estate sales are good places to find old sports cars esp because they were owned by older people and not beat as often

    Have a few questions..

    Just offer him scrap price plus 50, I get a lot of cars like that. Drop in a crate motor and go. Cost you about 4 grand all told but might be worth it if you like the car.

    Clutch/Clutch master cylinder/slave cylinder problems. HALP.

    And don't forget to bleed your clutch, those air bubbles will mess with you. I was able to burp my last clutch but there is no way of knowing if you got all the air out that way.

    Quarter panel repair advice

    You have a few hours of hammer work it looks like, slide hammers work good on a flat surface but when working the lines you almost always have to work it by hand. I am sure you know how but just for kicks I will go through it. Cut yourself a nice peice of 2x4, about 9in. You will use this by...

    zombie supra or bringing the dead back to life.

    Thanks dmp, your the first to suggest I. Take this $500 car and treat it like a $500 car. I got this car cause it is cheap and pretty reliable if I take care of it. My other choice being a 944 n/a that would have cost me 4 times as much (2000) but was just rebuilt by a porsha mechanic. I love...

    zombie supra or bringing the dead back to life.

    I think she will make an great freeway monster, esp when I get into the flat states where people cruise at 95. Ever drive through mi? I was doing 90 and people were passing me like I was standing still, wish pa was like that. She is low miles, the more I get into ripping her down the more I...

    gas tank drain plug?

    I do like the fuel pump option!! Hell I would love it if I could just hook up a bat to the fuel pump and have it run....then I wouldn't have to worry about draining the tank or droping the tank!! Why would you need to drop the tank if your fuel pump was good still.....I mean sure upgrade but...

    Milk jugs with the top cut off probably.....but that hardly matters, what counts is I can pull the plug stand back and watch it drain. No o crap gota full can have to put the plug in again.
