    cam shafts and valves

    So what you actually have is a misfire? Is there oil in the head where the spark plugs are? How old are your plug wires, plugs, and cap? Are you sure you don't have any wires crossed?

    7mge flywheel queston

    Sure you got a ge and not a gTe flywheel or clutch? Also, do the pins line up?

    mk3 vibration

    Might also check the rack and pinion bushings. Could also be a twisted belt in one of the tires. If you feel a lump in the treads, that would be the issue.

    Tranny noises?? **Video Added

    Possible torque converter or pump issue, starter bendix hanging up, last main bearing, slightly loose flexplate or torque converter bolts... Does it leak trans fluid at the bell housing?

    Difference in lower ball joints.

    yes. fairly easy to change, but I'd advise new ones, not used ones. Also, if you get the Moog brand, they'll have grease fittings.

    symptoms of failing tps?

    Sure enough, it tested at 4.75v with the throttle opened. CRE tested his as well for me(thanks again), and his was 3.48v(a little low?). Strange the book(All Data as well) says it should test 10v - 14v, but vc should only be 4 - 6. I was gonna get a new sensor to test, but no one had it in...

    Timing belt question Gates OEM or Race?

    Might check the recommended service interval on which ever belt you get. 99% of the timing belt jobs that come in my shop are driven until they snap or the teeth shear off. Some with very drastic effects... Also, make sure there aren't any oil leaks in the covers, as that will dramatically...

    damn valve cover gaskets

    Possible. There's also three plugs in there that can leak oil. Iirc, it's the three higher ones. Can't remember if its the same ones the hold down the center cover, but I think so.

    .

    The IS300 should also be the same motor, correct? Just another option for finding a used one.

    7matt's thread o' repairs

    You should check your battery terminals first. They need to be clean and secure. Pull codes as well.

    any tricks to fix a leaky freeze plug?

    Why did you need an air hammer and torch for the wheel bearing?

    Seat debate. Fixed or reclining safty?

    Check the NHRA rule book. They make all the safety guidelines for race tracks. Sure would suck to buy an adjustable seat and a fixed one is mandatory for your time. Might check the rulings for cages as well. You have to have specifically built cages for the time you run as well. Faster you...

    Downpipe on a 7M-GE

    I'v had the OBX for 2+ years now, no problems. Like I said, it needs to be modified a bit. Once its done, you'll never have to buy another one... There's a few things you'll need to do before you install it. O2 bung is wrong in every way. Cap it, cut it off and weld it closed, whatever...

    symptoms of failing tps?

    Idle switch tells the computer the throttle is closed(basically). You can test the tps with a volt meter. E2 .025v closed, .025v open(ground) IDL .029v closed, 4.75v open VTA .536v closed, 3.5v open VC 5.01v closed, 5.01v open The desciption of which pins are what in the tps is in the tsrm.

    New here! Trouble with supra

    Check the IAC(in the EFI section of the tsrm, iirc). It's pretty easy to take apart and clean. Could also be the dashpot is restricted, and not catching the throttle correctly. Might also run a fuel pressure test, both at idle and driving. Do you hear any hissing around the injectors or...

    Rare Rear hatch visor/guard... Opinions.

    looks like a t/a or firebird insignia on the bottom louver. Think it would look better black.

    msd 8.5mm wires

    lol. Sometimes the MSD wires fit a bit loose at the coils/dist., so be sure you're getting a good contact at the coils. I had to open the contacts up a bit on my n/a to make them fit the dist. right.
