You just use the engine mounts from your current engine. What is "beefier" on the 89 engine, by the way?

Hmm, good to know. My assumption stemmed from the fact that the 87-88 AEM ems initially had some issues with the CPS signal (while the 89+ version seemingly did not). This was the reason for the additional delay when releasing the '87 EMS 3 or 4 years ago...

You can use the 87 longblock without any problems. You will just hook up your 89+ wiring harness to it (and sensors as some of them are slightly different -- like the CPS).

Jeff, are you positive? Toyota nuts and bolts typically follow Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS): Shank Diameter (mm)....Bolt Head Size (mm)....Thread Pitch 5...............................8................. .............0.8 6...............................10................ ............1.0...

Toyota Dolphin/Itasca/Winnebago

It's pretty old. Here's a picture and some quotes:

My bet is that most of the flex is in the adapters (and their mounts)

They've always put up a damn cone chicance at the end of the front straight when I've run t-hill, but the backside (through 7 & 8) is a dream for a high-hp car.

Great pictures! I love thunderhill -- it has a great mix of high-speed "horsepower" turns with tight, off-camber corkscrew stuff. I bet you were happy to have those upgraded brakes too! As for the body roll: I'd recommend stiffer coilover springs, but then putting the stock swaybars back in...

Go to an open track day. You'll have absolutely no desire to speed for the next 3 or 4 weeks...

Please do not post how to break into our cars. Yes, it is easy. Yes, it is fairly common knowledge. But there is no reason to tell everyone in cyberspace just how to do it...

If you're by yourself (which is not recommended) and don't have a load-leveler, dc the transmission. The engine alone, can clear the body very easily. If you've got some help (and/or a load leveler), then definitely pull the engine & tranny together.

um, mine were all set to those above values and I've never done any of that myself...

When I was working at HPF, we had a v-band option to maintain a true 4" exhaust. If it is a concern, you could ask their sales rep (but I don't even see the goliath listed on the web page at the moment)

Hitting a small dip in the road (one I'd never noticed before) at 140mph and getting air born. Landed hard enough to pop an IC hose off...

Couple quick notes on comparing cars: Most new cars have much, much more streamlined underbodies. This is one of the main strides in the last 10-15 years. Cd numbers by themselves are not that helpful without also knowing the frontal area. The MK2 mr2, for instance, has a relatively poor Cd...

Both are high pressure areas, being at the front of the car (& therefore at first contact with stationary air). While I don't know from experimentation, my meager fluid dynamics experience would lead me to believe that the lower grill area should be higher in pressure than the upper (but...

Handling is relative. Having owned both a modded MK2 Mr2 and a mk3, I can tell you without a doubt that the mk3 will never be as good of an autocross car as the mr2. But even in stock form, the mk3 supra blows the doors off a street prepared mr2 on real roads once you get over 100mph. When...

LOL

I don't know, but I'd be inclined to think that the injectors are meant to face one way (assumption being that there is some spray pattern on the "down" side for better atomization). Again, that's my assumption. BUT, it would be pretty easy to call up RC engineering. I'd bet they could tell...
