    How much do you pay for a new can of R12?

    You can retro yourself for under $50 if you have access to a vacuum pump. I'm my area I can think of at least 3 people that i can call to use one, ask your friends you'd be supprised.

    Pros and Cons of the Lexus SC300

    Most ppl that I've heard of using VVTI engines disable it with high HP because it gets confused. It's just a wire like vtec on a honda (you can also use a vtec controller to change it) Also zero vvti camshafts are on the market.

    Fix the 1JZGTE head flow problems

    Both a 1jzgte and 2jzgte can make 500whp on 93 octane, thats all that matters. Both can make 700+ on race gas. Who cares if the 2jzgte makes 50 more hp then a 1jzgte if your 600+, at that point, it all depends on suspension and driver. My buddy's 700+whp MKIV runs low 11s after a year of...

    radiatorbarn sells stock replacements for under $200. They are copper/brass construction which is better then aluminum. Aluminum is only better then a copper/brass radiator cause it looks better and lighter. Brass/Copper is proven to cool better. My 3 row radiator costed me $180 shipped...

    Pros and Cons of the Lexus SC300

    Generally ppl stay away from VVTI if you want big HP. If you want to stay in the 500 range, it's fine

    He posted the videos himself on other forums. Pic was taken publically at the meet. Specs are his, from his own video and posts. Thank you and get off my nuts. Why are you being such a whiner about someone elses car? If he didn't want it to be known, he shouldn't have gone to the SUPRA...

    Yeah, me too. The owner in Japan loves my car and what I turned their little junkyard motor into. I have a locked price on 1JZ-GTE's I get from them. I wouldn't even say it's a discount, but they don't inflate the price due to supply and demand.

    Repost? Who cares.. it's music to my ears

    Happy has done a confirmed 942whp on that setup according to Sean @ Titan. It's said he's put more money into R&D then what most people make on their yearly salary. He's blown up more 1JZ-GTE's getting the setup correct then total 1JZ-GTE cars that post on this forum. He said the secret...

    Dude, so you're telling me you didn't swap you're car because you didn't want to do some preventive maintance on parts that are probably bad anyways? You're talking about in that post about $250 worth of new parts. Why would you install another 17yo radiator when your 17yo radiator blew? Get...

    How much do you pay for a new can of R12?

    Yes it is. Pick up a can of A/C flush at you're local auto parts store and follow directions, vacuum the system, fill with 134a oil and coolent.. done. All that change o-ring crap is nothing but a fallacy I've done this to 2 cars in my garage with a simple 20yo snapon vacuum pump, both...

    Pros and Cons of the Lexus SC300

    Black on black is the hot shit! So rare! Silver/Black is also hot. My buddy in Cocoa sold his Silver/Black 5spd for dirt cheap, I see it around orlando now. Personally, sandstone/black is my FAVORITE color combo. Only a new respray of sandstone looks good, it fades to a really dull nasty...
