Hey guys. So, i finally managed to get everything back together, and plug in the starter (bastard to get in there). Oil was refilled (10w40), and coolant was refilled. Primed for 30 seconds to get the oil pressure up - everything looked good, there were no ominous noises coming from anywhere...

This is the final ballache. Seriously, the drain can bolt up fine, the turbo to manifold, is doable (although untorqueable with spanners), the elbow is fine to bolt up. The *ONLY* problem is the oil feed banjo. I did try an oil softline kit....but it was all wrong, length wise, and the fittings...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/welder-very-tired-....=item3cb7e61868 I dunno about you guys, but in my search for a MIG, I found this, and lol'ed :D

Okay...so...the daily driver is still pootling around perfectly fine except the constant bother of looking over at the oil pressure gauge and seeing 'low pressure' at hot idle. Now, it's within spec still, but not by much. I'm getting roughly 11.5psi per 1000rpm, according to my EXTERNAL Snap-On...

As far as i'm aware, this is hard to get hold of in paper format, so, i have here the RM216 PDF for the A340E/F/H. http://kai.robinson.free.fr/dropbox/Supra/A340%20Series%20Repair%20Manual%20(RM216).pdf It's a lot more 'in-depth' than the AT section in the TSRM, some of you might find this...

All i need to do - is make a Simple shape, a 4 sided flange, with curved 'corners' as it were. Like a stretched diamond, the only thing is - i've been fiddling with solidworks for hours, i can make everything i need to, but on a rectangle, or a circle, i can't make this shape - solidworks only...

I refuse to buy almost anything new, car wise, and reading through some of the threads on here has made me think back to my old Ford days and want one again! But then, i want a few cars, and i'd really, really like to own them, but of course - although some would stay standard, there are...

http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=readersrides&action=display&thread=69632&page=1 Looks similar to a Mk1/2 Supra - but dinky! :D Where can i get one, and who wants to loan me a MIG welder? :p

Died 28/10/2010. I suggest that in honour of his comedic greatness - everyone watch Airplane! :) Or for his cult acting, we watch Forbidden Planet, too!

If you haven't updated to the new 2011 MSN, don't. It a steaming pile of shite and everybody i know that's tried it, hates it. Also make sure you don't select "Windows Live Essentials 2011" in Windows Update because it includes the "upgraded" Windows Live Messenger. Why the new MSN fails...

Have a great day, T! :D *squeeeeeesh*

Question for you guys - where the HELL do you get parts for these cars? Theres a lot of parts still available, but rear leaf springs are NLA, and i can't for the life of me find a set of stock replacements. I'm asking on behalf of a friend - who has a MINT '79 model (19k on the clock!), thats in...

I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to things like abandoned buildings/locations, i always wonder WHY they've become abandoned and why no-one has stepped in to DO anything with these locations (such as...use them as homeless shelters etc) - here's a list of the coolest ones i've seen...

Honestly, i thought it was about time i started one of these. Have you ever read something thats made you laugh, and thought 'that's totally quotable'? Well, paste it in here! :) Here's mine, just to get the ball rolling... "To most Christians, the Bible is like a software license. Nobody...
