    stock shock question..

    TEMS shocks will not lower you car, so there is no point in swapping them if that is your ultimate goal

    New Headgasket Opportunity

    It would be cool if it worked, but I highly doubt it. I've had five 7m heads off various blocks and ALL of them were pitted around the coolant passageways (head especially, but also block). There is no way that any of those engines were close to an 80RA...

    In unrelated news, Engine Restore announces a 1-year advertising contract with Primedia magazines /sarcasm ;)

    HKS coilovers

    You should be able to hold the body of the coilover in place and twist the upper pillowball mount to whatever angle you need. Or you can install the upper part of the coilover into the body, then twist the lower body to line up. Either way, you will want to back off any preload on the spring...

    HKS coilovers

    The coilovers are the same from right to left. The knob at the bottom of the shock should be a shrader valve -- which you will probably leave alone unless you want to play around with nitrogen pressures (so it doesn't really matter if you can easily access it). On the top damping adjustment...

    Supra drifting...

    He swapped a 7mgte into an NA chassis. He has said in the past he'll go 1jz when the 7m blows... Edit: Here is his modlist posted from another site:

    Amazing accoustic guitar

    So I was linked to a random drifting video on youtube and on the side it had a list of related videos, one of which said "Andy Mckee Drifting." When I was competitively autocrossing my old MR2 10 years ago, Andy Mckee was probably the best driver out there (he was a national champion from the...

    So I just got my raise at my full time job...

    The pay is shitty in all of "rural" california. But with Chico, you've got what, 15,000 college students willing to suck dick for minimum wage. So of course wages for unskilled work are pretty poor. I don't think the cost of living really is that bad here though. My rent is $100/month...

    So I just got my raise at my full time job...

    I have sympathy too, but if you really want to get a nice raise *you* have to work for it. Do some research and see what the prevailing wage is for someone in your position. Calculate how long it would take to train a new-hire to do the job satisfactorily (and multiply that by the average...

    targa off = wobbly car????

    "Do Luck" is a brand. They make a "rear cross bar" which runs behind the front seats (over the rear passenger's foot area) and ties the sides of the car together. Picture from Larry A's site: http://oldschool.supracentral.com/htm/susp.htm

    Longevity of the perfectly built 7M

    "Very hard" is very subjective. Competitive race car engines rarely last more than 1 season. You will see guys run more "stock" engines in the restrictive classes for maybe 2 years. But they're running WOT for 30 minutes to a couple hours at a time... On the other hand, you could have a...

    So I just got my raise at my full time job...

    Ok, imagine you are an employer. Are you going to voluntarily give away more of your own profits? Fuck no. You as an employee have to sell yourself to your boss. Don't ask for a raise, give your boss legitimate reasons why you deserve more compensation now, and if necessary, be prepared to...

    Caught for SpeedRacing.....AGAIN

    I'd like to watch them use the splitter. My grandpa retired from Willig with over 1,000,000 miles and not one accident (at-fault or not). His buddy went 30 years without an accident before getting into one on the day of his retirement.

    Spec 3+ disc impressions

    Spec stages 1-3 are most likely remanufactured stock pressure plates (but Spec, of course, won't confirm). Stages 3+ 4, and 5 are higher clamping force pressure plates which should give a slightly stiffer clutch pedal feel...
