Kinda wondering this myself, recently was playing with a Subaru and my wastegate line blew off... saw the boost gauge spike a bit before letting off.

I don't suppose Mastercard has a shipping division, do they? :p I was upset enough when UPS delivered my manifold to the wrong street, I can only imagine something like a body part. A manifold, while US made and well made at that, is replaceable. A spoiler like this? Not so much.

I believe it was Jdub that said that adding a heavier weight oil only delays the inevitable in the case of knocking engines. Might as well start saving your money now sir. :)

Not thinking you'd fail at it, just saying that if your paint is in decent to good shape, I wouldn't spend the time or money to change that. I would only consider changing the paint on a car that NEEDS it, as in it is in genuinely bad shape to begin with. Take my Chevy for example. I picked it...

Planning on 12" rears, and either 10.5 or 11" fronts, all in 17" diameter. I don't like to carry unnecessary weight if I don't have to, particularly unsprung. Ideally, I could get a 335/30 or 335/35 on the rear, and a 315/35 up front. However, the only 335 I've found in a 17" is the Michelin...

Didn't know about the narrow body MA70's, thanks Jeff! (I still think they look just like 3rd gen Camaros...)

I've heard the name "Weir" tossed around here lately too, might be worth looking into that. Not sure, but Marlin Crawler might also have what you're looking for.

More or less, yeah. Believe it or not, these cars are fairly stiff (particularly the hardtops) if everything is in good shape. Especially compared to their 80's competition... Ewww... that stuff smells so bad. Try toluene sometime too. Maybe not at the same time as the xylene, but as another...

Not sure I understand the "pod" idea with the PVC tubing? That said, it seems to be coming along pretty nicely. :)

I'll be honest with you, the best sounding system I've ever heard in a Supra, took up some prime real estate in the hatch. Was still grocery-getter friendly, but involved extra boxes for speakers and a small sub. Now I have just the 4 speakers (two 6.5" in the doors, 5.25" (IIRC) in the rear...

I kinda figured Albert built them. Hard to say (for me anyway) then, they might actually be a pretty awesome setup for damned near immediate spool and still retain a decent top end. You'll have to let us know. :) As for feeding them, I would suggest doing your best to emulate the GTE setups...

I saw no mention of the narrow body, but the 1G-GTE that was in said narrow body cars. For what it is worth, they look almost identical to 3rd gen Camaro/Firebirds.

Good to know sir. Have you happened to get prices on that yet? I can imagine a 5-gallon container would probably last your average street driven car for a decent amount of time. I think I might have a local source on VP fuels for stuff like this actually...

Good to know sir. That probably explains why my car never seems to budge on oil level until after I've run with somebody seriously... So, let me get this straight, about the accusump. If your car detects low oil pressure, even briefly, the accumulator dumps it's reserve into the pan immediately...

Just giving you crap man. My $350 Corolla TE72 was treated in much the same way. It was a crap car, it was treated like a crap car, but it was a lot of fun while it lasted. :) Now, if you went out and did this with a mint 91/92, you'd probably have people with pitch forks after you... :p

Used to work with a guy from the Philippines, was a rather fun guy to work with. Bit nuts, but he didn't drive like THAT Rodel. :rofl: Makes me wonder what accident rates are like over there. Traffic seems to flow smoothly enough...

Bwahahahah, I remember that thread, you should link it in here, that was a good find!

Just trying to be the voice of reason here, but perhaps spend a more reasonable amount on a portable, fragile communication device next time? Sheesh...
