    Turbo A half cut :cry:

    Must be a local thing, I've yet to see or hear about a D series doing anything worth mentioning other then a nitrous backfire. I've seen people attempt modding them and defending them only to move to a B or K series months later because they could'nt get the power they wanted. 8valve throw back...

    Earls stainless steel braided brake lines

    How many miles was that again? Sorry was it ten thousand or was it 10000. Guy you say it how many times in this one thread. Your modifying a car, modified parts do not carry a warrenty like a new car warrenty. Non Coated SS lines are not DOT approved because of this, do some research before...

    trans hard to shift

    I've been having the same issues here but find doing a 1-3 shift pattern untill the cars warmed up helps alot. I don't like doing it but figure it's better then forcing the car into second gear. After a few km's it works fine. MT90 is better then BG syncroshift? I've yet to change mine but...

    Great, a Toyota for redneck...

    If nascar was anywhere near "stock" cars it would be worth watching. Tube chassis cars with literally no parts in common with a production vehicle that are essentially matched in preformance is a waste of race gas.

    strange RPM's after starting up warm

    I'm getting the same condition on my car. It's winter here and I turbo Time the car (2:30). My thought was it was headgasket ceeping(sp?) coolant into one of the combustion chambers. Could be wrong but it may be worth checking out

    Turbo heat shields; keep or remove?

    With the positioning of the stock ic piping if you remove the main heat shield your essentially cooking the rubber. If may be fine for a little while but A) your heating the ic piping/rubber and the air inside of it and B) you could end up ( in theory) blistering paint on the strut tower/hood...

    Cooling problem.

    Hello all, I recently purchased a 89 TT with 136km on it. The car sat for a number of years and when I inspected it the low coolant light was on and the temp gauge would go skyhigh as soon as the ignition was on (even on a cold motor/not running). I topped up the coolant in the rad and over flow...
