Your post is a contradiction in terms, since copying a poor quality original [as in Bomex] is OK, but otherwise not OK. Bomex people need to make $ & live, too; irrespective of quality. Well, if copying poor quality products is OK with you, then in the same vein, copying products that are...

Dude, you've got three [3] holes in your bumper! Yikes!

Right-e-o then; but to add, love is blind. If your dad is good with cars, then brakes, susp, clutch, & engine [fundamental head/block] should be no prob. The intricacies associated with [platform-specific] EFI are the bane to most. Visit the Cygnus site to get a feel of which I speak...

I only read up to Joe's post, but our dear Joe speaks the truth. Finish college, then buy whatever you want. Until then, get something that won't keep coming back for more. Full time school & 2 jobs equates to not trying to learn how to keep a MkIII on the road, period. I speak as a father...

Hello Nick, LMK when you've got the 1st one done & I'll come by to take a look. I still have a new CFX OEM model in the box & intend to keep it*, but if your boy works some CF magic, I'll happily sport the Stout & put in a good word, too. * I'm looking to build another MkIII, but we can talk...

Hello Chriso, The post I replied to was not taken out of context as the inference was replete with comparison; whether you actually meant it, or not. If you didn't mean it, fine- let it go & move on. I said what I felt, so I'm good. FWIW: My post began before you posted your follow-up message...

Hello Chriso, Hard work? You're kidding, right? Duane has put 1000s of hours into his Supra. Interestingly enough, his dedication & results transcend mere time devoted, blood let, skin lost, and $ spent. I'm fortunate to have had the privilege of being part of the tech support team for the CF/X...

Hello Jeff, I spoke w/Mike B [CygnusX1] & he told me that he planned to put the prices back at some point. He just moved & is taking a hardcore Chinese class, so be patient;)

Most would consider timing as important, if not more so, than fuel when discussing altered engine compression. Detonation events include a timing component to them. The need to control fuel begins at FCO, which is much lower than 400-500HP. I've lost count of how many guys over the years...

Hello William, Cometic offers 84 & 86mm. Greddy have 83, 84, & 85mm. HK$ MHGs are all 86mm...perhaps meant to work in concert with their [now discontinued] forged Al piston sets they used to sell, the 0.040" over. Regardless, I agree that having a larger gap is undesirable & will likely...

Cool beans:)

SoCAL has been blessed with many phenomenally clear blue days over the past couple of months...today included. Hell, even my celphone pics look good. I went surfing today & there were even chicks on the beach laying out. On-Topic...that paint was obviously well-kept- what was used prior to the...

If the TPS was securely installed in the TB & the TB was sourced from a running car, I wouldn't mess with the adjustment at all...odds are it's close enough to spec as is. If the TPS has been messed with adjustment-wise, go to a Q45 service manual and look for the equivalent to page FI-101...

Hello Aaron, Although I have witnessed distorted MLS HGs, lean-burn detonation is better known to result in broken ring lands. Yes, even on forged slugs...as they normally are mated to big-Ts which make lean-burn det all that more severe:icon_conf As for surfacing, we all know that is...

Hello WeezL, Were any MkIIIs involved in fitting, other than your own? The reason I ask...I had a set of the original front-to-back targa bars that fit my old MkIII perfectly, but would not install on my current car. I sold them. Your initial post with the pics indicated you did the mod to...

I warrantied one [1] full set fronts/rears & one [1] set of rears a couple years later. Both times I recieved replacements the very next day, with shipping labels included to return the bad ones. No mention of lowering was made by me or Tokico. Easily one of the best warranty experiences I can...

Hello Supra Blues, Your screen name says it all, LOL. You need a shot of optimism. I bought my 1st Supra when wifey was expecting #2. Years later, I bought the 2nd Supra while I was unemployed. What's my point? Enable yourself. Monopolize more of every day's 1,440 minutes to your benefit, and...

Ha! LOL. I don't need one either, really- at least for the stock turbo [that I went back to temporarily]. I bought this to modify for my TO-4E, not to use with the stock turbo. This will cut my fabrication costs by more than 1/2, the v-band & WG dump tube will be all that's left to do. Take...

Hello Dan, Here is a perfect example of getting a smoking deal all due to a small mistake that is freely & openly admitted to by the seller. An easily resolvable error. Anyone who let this one go by missed out on a gem in the rough for a song. Thnx for the heads up, or I'd have missed out...

Hello Kevin, Count me in. Thnx for another great GB opportunity. LMK when you're ready to go.
