    Aged Tires = Death ?

    I just checked my "new" tires. Left side tires - 01 08 right side tires - 01 07 Hmmm.....I guess I'm not in imminent danger, but I would have been happier if they were all made in at least the same year. I have to put tires on my wifes car tomorrow, so this post could not have...

    R154 5 speed hp limit...?

    That's a good point. I know that powerglides are used all the time on 2jz's, but I don't recall seeing one a a 7mgte, mostly th350 swaps. I'm sure it could/has been done, but again I don't recall seeing it. Better to find someone who's done it if you can rather than re-invent the wheel...

    Brake System Problem.

    You said you had to "bleed the brakes several times". This leads me to believe that you have a cracked line or bleeder or some breach that is alowing air to be sucked into the lines. That's where I'd start.

    Engine sticking after rebuild...

    Did you look at the journals and main bearings before you buttoned it all up? The reason I ask is because you may have damaged them by turning the motor with the caps over-torqued. It's better to find out now than after you start the motor. Word to the wise.:icon_bigg

    R154 5 speed hp limit...?

    Why would you want a manual trans in a 1000 hp car? I'm assuming your intent for this car is the drag strip. If so, I highly recommend you go TH350 or TH400, or better yet get a built power glide. Also, I very much doubt that even a getrag 6spd will hold 1000 (real) horsepower under drag...

    eibach springs 17's 18's

    Love the wheels and tires, but it sits too high...if you swap the eibachs for H&R's it would look really bad ass.

    Driveshaft Carrier Bearing

    Actually the AutoZone here in cali does sell one cheap, last I checked but you have to screw with it to make it fit right, as I recall it has something to do with the mounting bolts. I 'll search and try to find a link. I bent over for toyota when I replaced mine, but I'm sure the aftermarket...

    Would a muffler silencer reduce gas mileage?

    It would have to be pretty darn restrictive to make a really noticable difference, especially (as you mentioned) at cruising speed. Did you get your brake issue worked out? (...I'm paying attention)

    Got a Shipment In

    His aren't ceramics (I think someone else already may have pointed this out). I just use the anti-squeel pads that came with my ebc's ant they're dead silent. No dust really either. Power slot cryo'd rotors are awesome. You have to go big brakes to improve upon that setup IMHO.

    Friction sound in turbo

    Oil seal for sure... but that doesn't explain the metal to metal sound. I'm thinking bearing. Don't drive it or start it until you pull the turbo, it's only going to get worse if you do. I cringed every time I read how you started/drove it after the original misshap.

    couple na-t questions.

    Those are the plugs for the oil galley, they also hold that metal gasket down that covers your spark plugs, dont drill them. Instead, pull your oil pan off (do not do it with the oil pan on the block) and tap (or weld) a fitting into the side of it. That's pretty much standard procedure on an...

    I pulled my motor but the tranny won't come off.

    Exactly my first thought...torque converter to flexplate bolts...perhaps?

    which oil to use?

    I saw no mention of Lucas Racing synthetics in any of the tech write-ups. I have been using Lucas Racing synthetic oil for some time with good results, and I wondered what you (jdub) or others thought of it? Lucas makes quite a few extraordinary claims with regard to the properties and...
