    NEW teaser pics!! Check it out!

    Nice clean car you have. But the thing I hated about my sawblades is the difficulty of cleaning them, and your rims look like they would be about the same as far as that goes. But your cleaning them, not me, so why am I complaining -- I am not. Red targa, with 89+ exterior, 5spd = one of my...

    new wheels on the 88T

    I like 5 spokes best! I think the reason why they look 16" as many have guessed, is because sawblades are what we use as a reference many times for what a 16" looks like as far as height. But there is something I noticed: Because of the design on sawblades, the 'contour' going from edge to...

    my painted mk4 wheels picssss

    Yep, the paint job looks A-OK from those pics. It is nice to see some variations on how things are done, even if I am not going that route. What I can't understand is why are there so many rims rashed up?! I am looking for some rims on eBay and I always see damage on them. I live in the city...

    Supra won't start, need help

    Exactly what I was thinking. You see I have stored a bike for 10 winters. Each winter I remove all the gas from the tank and the 4 carbs. Jeff, winter where you are seems to have fluctuating temperatures -- the forumula for ongoing condensation. Water is heavier than gas, so it will be at...

    Clean it. or Volunteer your time, effort, and money on that experiment and tell us how it works out:P (If you don't clean it.)

    lol

    Goddamnit, Jeff! How many times did I tell you to stop hijacking threads with talks of you Corolla! LOL Hey at least we are using the tread as it was intended: humor (it is titled lol). I wonder who mentions their other machine more: Jeff mentioning his Corolla, or me mentioning my bike...

    Please explain about CT-26 upgrade (+)

    Even though you specifically asked Disced, stevevangst is the member he described. I have been meaning to get a hold of him myself -- that will be my last attempt.

    Englishtown, NY Meet

    This definitely will interest more than just those that go to the Northeast section. Stickyable too -- even though there are lots of stickies in this section as of right now. Yes! Post them pics up!

    anyone know of a good digital camera?

    Damn staight! Digital zoom is garbage. I only used that so-called feature just to test it -- won't ever again. Digital zooming is about as great as taking a pic in MS Paint and stretching it out. I only mentioned it to clarify the zoom of the camera. If I just said 10X, it would not have...

    anyone know of a good digital camera?

    I love my Minolta Dimage Z1 Not 100% sure if they still make it because I bought it last year, but even if they did, there may be some still being sold. I got it for less than $300USD 40X zoom, 10X optical though and 4X digital 3.2 mega pixels here you go -- read up;)...

    lol

    But in comparison to the heat created from compressing the air -- very little. It is easier for me to show some members here how this work from the other way around: decreasing air pressure. Ever feel how cold a spray-can gets if you hold the trigger down non-stop? Some spray-cans can...

    Thermastat

    It may have very well said that but keep in mind that no one or source is omnipotent (knowing absolutely everything). Any outside source, just as members, can make mistakes too. I would definitely agree that the coolant within the radiator would have a cooler temperature if flow is reduced...

    Are you saying that the 43% gain in horsepower is going to be solely attributed to incorporating an intercooler to that motor?
  14. TONY!

    lol

    My friend just got a Regal Grand National. He has a turbo but no intercooler - I thought that was weird but, 1978-1985 years did not come with intercoolers. Although an '84 did not have an intercooler, stock boost was set to 15PSI...

    Glad to be back

    Welcome back to SM! CtSupra, I noticed that. In SF you have been a member for quite some time, but seem to be more active & posting more now. Why were the forums better back then?? I would not know; only been around shortly, since 10-2004. I have owned my MK3 for much longer though.

    New wheels!

    OMG! -- how did I not notice that was a 6 spoke that I showed?! Ouch! lol The first time I did a google search, I came up with: http://www.centerlinewheels.com/photo_gallery_car.php within that site came up: http://www.centerlinewheels.com/photo_detail_car.php?id=690 I did not know...

    New wheels!

    That is it! -- the reason why his rims look higher -- because his spokes are longer. The length of the spokes gives the illusion, at least to my eye, the height of the rim. Shorter spokes makes rims look lower; longer spokes make rims look higher, even if it is the same actual dimesions (both...

    NA Pistons in a Turbo

    I also joined DeanMarcum's forum to see what he thinks of all this. He sent a duplicate message to SF as he did to me in his forum. I hate to crosspost, but as I have heard drjonez twice say, "Dean is the man." So here is what he said:

    NA Pistons in a Turbo

    Since I have been intrigued by high compression engines for some time, I saved this thread before the site crash. It has some info on high compression engines and I believe it may be the set up that Genna laid 700+ RWHP. Enjoy. NOTE: Since some of the following members are not here anymore...
