I laughed too, because there was no real way to stop the blood flow.. :) I was home alone and like most people it never occurred to me to call an ambulance, friend or a cab. I had to get the car back together and drive myself. You have to be careful with some of these... they wont warranty...

The only exhaust peice I have ordered that wasn't warped was the HKS catback. The rest all needed a little machining. To me its worth it long term to get it flat, but generally speaking, no supplier (other than perhaps HKS) worries about it. It's just nature of the beast. But whatever you do...

Actually... it hurt like a bugger.. but I was tough about it. It was pouring blood and I walked calmly to the house and told my wife.. I will need a new shirt.. a wet cloth.. and a ride... lol. My white shirt was very red at that point.. it was bleeding freely... However.. I had done...

rofl... I got better... last fall I was showing my son how to check the Supra oil and stepped up onto the curb forgetting about the height difference. So... when I reached down to get the dipstick my head met the hood edge... 6 stitches... My son laughed...

100 kph = 62 mph (basically) kilometers x 0.6214 = miles Funny that Toyota never gave us a digital dash... lol. I grew up with imperial numbers... and in Grade 7 had to convert to metric. Of course.. your Peanut Farmer President decided... whoa... too tuff... so... you guys had it only...

All the "ghetto" Supras are dying slowly but surely. I find it interesting that there were far less Supras built each year than Corvettes. I know that a Supra MK3 sold in my area for 28,000 (slightly less) just recently. Also, there are die-hard MK3 nuts like me that value these cars greatly...

There should be a stickie on all the little improvements. Something like "7m best build options" I'm running stock head and valves so I won't have to worry, but I like building for better if it is indeed better.

Is the 5m pump gear an improvement? I remember reading that the 5m and 7m oil pumps were the same except for the pick up tube. I don't remember reading anything suggesting there was any reason to run 5m over 7m

nice :) Spring comes.. I wont be 100% ready for the road with interior and paint, but I am close... very close.

Not really. You can go with a 255 lph walbro or a mkiv fuel pump but it really depends on your goal. You should have an adjustable fuel regulator though. For the most part, with a wideband you can tell if your leaning out. With your described setup, I think stock fuel pump would be fine, but I...

ITS ALIVE!! lol... I heard my engine purr... first time in almost a year. HKS Fcon Vpro just has my motor running super smooth right now. Waiting on intake pipe weld and then its tune and dyno... soooooo close!

It would depend on timing. I don't really care about cost really. Shine is pretty reasonable. BUt if it were to happen within the next year, I would be game, if not, I will be converting my whale tail into a 3 piece and be done :)

Well with only the words "polished and balanced crank" and no balance ticket... Balancing on mine could have been setting it on a bench and saying... "Looks good to me"

Shine Auto Project has some. I don't think the lip is available stock for the mk3

Well just read a news report, the FT1 (future toyota and 1 is for ultimate) is released. No specs yet... Doubt I could afford this... But... Wow.

Antifreeze is also rust protectant and lubricant... Today I got a very good email... "Your cars running in the VPro now, purrs like a kitten..." Tuning this week, will post dyno! <color me excited>

Lol, but he actually taught me something. My crank was balanced but I didn't get a sheet like that. Had I known that existed I would have demanded one.

Don't feel bad, I paid 6000 for mine. Still no regrets here though
