    Locks / Key Issue? + minor things

    I'd say to try putting some (= a small amount) white lithium grease or some other grease on the key and then inserting it into the lock and turning it a couple times....but I don't know if the grease would even reach the tumblers...or if it would mess up the electronics. hmmmmm.....

    my rod knock (maybe)

    the exhaust manifold is held on by studs sticking out of the head with nuts holding the manifold on. check your exhaust nuts/bolts/clamps/gaskets whatever. and check your valve shim clearances according to the tsrm like ^^^^^he said. good luck

    So... I just got a bluetooth headset.

    I have the motorola ?800 or some crap like that. they're actually great for driving (stick shift) and I usually wear mine around work all the time (motorla q phone is easier to leave on the desk). It's just simpler to reach up and push one button. Really comfy too...hardly ever remember it's...

    he put down 290hp 290tq on an all wheel drive dyno to the wheels. I put down 270hp 292 tq in the supra with an mbc @ 10psi stock catback 120k mi cat. Took the catback off (ran open dp), turned the boost up to 13psi and slapped some drag radials on and bested at 14.02. that would make my hp and...

    supra vs evo

    figured I'd post this up. http://www.ashtabularacing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2572 yes you have to be able to drive and AWD doesn't do everything for you. Still have to slip the clutch at the line. But damn it does help. 1.7 60's on the factory rubber

    flex downpipe neccessary

    that's pretty funny. I made half an exhaust for my winter beater (91 cavalier) out of that roll of flex crap. $50???? I bought a 6' long piece 2.5" inner diameter for like...$11?

    flex downpipe neccessary

    fozbo is correct if you think about it...the tranny doesn't flex seperate from the motor, and the stock dp is bolted to the turbo and the tranny with the flex section in the middle....there shouldn't be any flex between the motor and transmission. I don't have one, no problems getting the dp on...

    Fuel Door

    I think (but I'm not positive) that it's not adjustable. I'm pretty sure I checked both ends for adjustments but there weren't any.

    Fuel door...

    HAHA...this is hilarious. I've done they old "hey, can you help me real quick" at the gas station before. I used to shove a rag under the lever and cary a screw driver in the center console. I eventually got it to work (shaved a little material off the little black nub that goes in and out)...

    Gauging interest in Community effort drag car!!

    I've got suprarich's back. He gave me a FREE stock exhaust (in mint condition. thanks again) when mine broke in half. All I had to do was go pick it up from him. I also sold him that tranny that sits in his 89. He's NOT gonna pocket the money. I'd put my word on it. I don't have any money I...

    ABS to NON ABS Help!

    looks like he eliminated everything but the engine and brake booster. You know, it'd look a lot cleaner without that huge shiny thing sitting in there :). Looks great.

    Redline MT90, Royal Purple 75w90, GM Syncromesh, or Other?

    I've got the heavy shockproof. Worked great all summer but it's starting to cool down now (northeast ohio) so I have to let it warm up a bit in the mornings.

    To DDP or Not to DDP?

    I'd say get ddp, but to recirc or not is the real question. With the ddp and stock catback at 12psi I made 262hp 292tq TO THE WHEELS!. Is it loud: Yes. Does it scare people: yes. Do I love it: HELL YES! You'll just learn how to drive without boosting. An EBC would make it easier since it doesn't...

    How long do u idle your car before driving it?

    haha. Northeast ohio cold 30 degree nights now. I let her warm up for 5 minutes or so. She runs really rough cold, the tranny really hates running cold and won't go into second running redline heavy shockproof. I prefer to let the car idle until the revs drop, the oil pressure starts coming...

    crank bolt help needed

    yup....18" breaker bar and the handle of your floor jack (or any large pipe that will fit over the breaker bar) 5' of leverage does the trick pretty easy
