I believe that when I die, that will be the end. That means that I don't believe in anything but science. This is not a discussion on "what is your religion?", but I am just telling you my background. Even though that is my background, I will highly respect what others hold sacred! In...

You know, it is hard to measure what people get for city driving then compare it to what someone else would get in the their city. Cities vary so much more than highways. My post on my gas mileage is in this thread if you care to see it along with what many others get...

90Legend is someone I have not seen lately. I forgot what his new user name is though. 87blue or something like that. MDC, you met him so you know who I am talking about. Where is that dude?

Why would you even want to do it in the first place? The adverse effect is contributing to pollution. It was put there for a reason. There is a reason why we have emissions on our cars--it is to not pollute the environment. Having a race car with no emissions that you run on the track is...

I know what you mean: I cleaned my cold start injector last week--man, was that gummed up. From Bishop's site: http://www.ma70.com/bishop92t/techtips/index.html http://www.ma70.com/bishop92t/techtips/7mlayout.jpg Bishop has a very helpful site for us out there!

I have polished many things made out of aluminum in the past. Most of those things are nice and small and easy to do. The four surfaces on blades, I would never consider it! How long would it take, fellas? That may be the determining factor on whether it is worth it. Painting them...

You know, it all depends on the look you are after: Some want their cars to be pretty, some want them to look menacing, some want them to be flashy, and some want them to be a bit subtle. For me, I have come to associate flashy colors with sports cars and sports bikes--almost as if a vibrant...

I say get that Supra. I was actually considering it myself. These are my favorite of his pics. I happen to know that the buyer gets both front bumpers with the sale of the car.

Anyone know who is the owner of that car? First thing I was wondering was: Is that an MKIII? Next I wondered if maybe we knew the driver. Most likely it was someone who really did not know how to drive at high speeds, and in their very early twenties or teens. Operating over one's limit...

Orion ZyGarian, you have nice taste in colors, or at least in that blue that you listed (the Viper's). I love vibrant royal blue so much, I made a thread to show why I am “obsessed” with it: http://supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?p=50793#post50793 I think I like this best of all--or...

If I haven't misinterpreted the TSRM and the machinists that I know, you can't just mill a head to make it straight. You mill a head to make it smooth. The max a head can be warped is only .0039" http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/em/EM_42.html When a head is warped more than that, it...

The way I see it is like this, when you lose oil on a consistent basis, it can only be two things: you are leaking it externally (either the type that drips to the ground or the type that runs all over and evaporates because of the hot engine) or you are burning it--it is that simple. I had...

Well, I just did it, and not sure if you still need the help, but here goes. I just used a cresent wrench and tightened the "jaws" over that flange that is just next to the nut that you see. While holding that flange with the cresent wrench, use a wrench on the nut and loosen. If you...

Man, I am sorry to hear that you aren't exacly enjoying her. Look at the bright side of things: you have many guys that will help you out for free on this site--and with no reason to deceive you like some shop owners would, and you can have many parts from me cheap since you are local...

Let me introduce you to my all time favorite car. It is a twin turbo with two intercoolers in the back: Its got lines and curves that make me say dayum when ever I see it http://www.fast-autos.net/ferrari/288gto10.html OK, I got off topic, but I just wanted to show you what it looks...

Well, lzalunky, today I got to benefit from your advice. I did not use the vegtable oil but water instead. (Oil may have helped the wrist pin to slide out easier maybe.) The way I disconnected my pistons from the rods are as follows (pretty much as you said): 1) Slowly heat the area...

Welcome to SM, Jon! Glad to see you posting—although under less than perfect circumstances. Is there really that much of a difference with the throttle closed and then open?! Even if it were cold before and warm after?! I just thought that was weird. I did a compression test on a BHG motor...

Well, if I just bought a car like that and wanted to assess it and its oil seals, I would do some of the following procedures and think of the following questions: As far as burning it: Valve stem seals: Does it smoke on start up? If so it is your valve stem seals. Rings: If you do...

What a coincodence: I am going to be taking mine you tomorrow. I found where it is in the EPC, but could not find it in the TSRM. from: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/EPC/MKIII_NATO/291410/8501_1.html (If that helps any.)

Dylan has some great write-ups on his site too! http://gallery.sanitylapse.com/v/supra/index.php?cat=9
