I just took the car in the get an estimate for replacing my cam-locks and bushings in the front and rear. Everything is seized and I don't have the time/tools to do this job myself. (at school for summer semester) So how bad do you think I am going to get raped?:biglaugh: This is for all...

I just got my car out of storage and, after finally getting the starter changed, I took it for an extended drive on a cool day. To my dismay I turned on the heat and nothing but cold air came out. It has no other symptoms. My heat gauge reads normal and all the fans work properly. I wish I...

I recently replaced the starter in my 88 manual and while doing so I unbolted some things in the engine bay. This took place over the course of a week because I have limited tools and limited time per day. When I put everything back together I have 1 bolt left over and I can see a place for it...

A friend of mine needs some measurements taken so he can determine how he wants his new suspension. He wants to use the stock ride height as a reference. I need measurements of ride height at the wheel wells. Please measure from the ground (center of the wheel) to the highest point of the...

I had just left class with my girlfriend and we were on our way to get groceries. I was driving her sunfire down the street (2 lane, 60 km/h) when I see a grey Fox body Mustang with a large, white cowl induction hood race up behind me. I look into my rearview and see a white male, early...

I was wondering if anyone on here has tried to import a vehicle form the states. Im looking to possibly buy a DD from the States and would then need to get it into the country. If those of you with experience/knowledge could give me an overview of the process it would help alot. thanks

A little background: Last spring I had a new HKS MHG and valve stems seals installed. After this I had no oil burning issues. Until now...:3d_frown: I recently started the car to let it warm up while in storage. When I started the car there was a small cloud of blue smoke. This looked...

A little background. My current intercooler is stock. I recently bought a set of intercooler hard pipes so I am trying to do my entire intake system at once. I will be pulling out the intercooler to flush it completely but I noticed that it looks like hell. The car recently had the front...

Never done any racing on the street before but this happened so I might as well share it. I had just fixed my car after it had been broken for a month. So needless to say I was having a little too much fun. I got noticed by a newish SRT and coasted past me. I heard the distinct sound of...

I searched and found some threads but would like some clarification. I recently installed a new CPS because my old one had an intermittent connection in the wiring. When I installed the new one the first time I just pulled the old one out and put the new one in the same way. Of...

I found this site by accident. Thought it was kinda funny. Apparently its a "miracle" BHG repair that you pour into your rad. :nuts: There is also a video...its kinda long but you can skip through most of the talking. http://www.steelseal.com

I recently had some bad luck at an exhaust shop. They had just built a downpipe on my car and put it back together. When they did this they left the O2 wiring on the turbo and I didnt see it. When I was driving on the highway, I assume that the wiring started to burn through. It felt...

I took my 88 Supra to the dyno for the first time yesterday. I have just basic mods and was looking for sort of a base line. DDP, 3inch exhaust, intake, MBC set to 11 psi. (spikes to 12...settles to 10-11). I thought it did quite well considering my level of modification and what I have seen...

I have heard that after the install of a DDP, the boost pressure is raised from where it was before. For example, the boost pressure was set to 10 lbs and after the DDP, he was seeing around 14 lbs. What could cause this? Weak wastegate spring? Does this only happen when re-routed? Will this...

I developed a new problem today. I just replaced my cracked lower intercooler piping with the speed source kit. This solved the boost leak I had been experiencing but now I have a new problem. I took the car for a test drive. During this drive the boost level would change from 10 lbs (MBC...
