    Help with Rear Strut Install

    Me too. After taking the wood deck and the side panels off (a few times) to get to the springs and shocks, I came up with the same idea...surprised Toyota didn't.

    coilovers

    Amen! I have had more debates on this forum over this exact subject and my arguement is always the same: The average guy does not have the resources or the knowledge needed in order to get coilovers adjusted properly. As a result they (coilovers) end up being a down-grade. And that's...

    Compression ratio and engine heat

    Not likely you've taken enough off that head to increase compression to the point that it would overheat. Also, higher compression alone is not going to raise your water temps significantly. However, detonation will, but I don't see the compression getting high enough to cause detonation from...

    quad tip exhaust possible?

    4 doesn't divide evenly into 6... A six cylinder with 4 exhaust tips? I dunno. You may want to give that some more thought.

    Painter's bullshit or truth?

    Here's what I can tell you for sure: 1. To get a true match from panel to panel, you have to paint it all at once. 2. I can definitely see what you are saying as far as the color difference. 3. I also see a difference in the metallic properties. It looks like the painter didn't...

    Painter's bullshit or truth?

    Modern polyester urethane 2 stage color/clear paints require 90 days or more to cure (some painters will tell you 120 days), so that sounds right. What color did you paint? Something sounds wrong, it shouldn't vary at all. Did he paint the car in pieces or all at once?

    After Market Head Lights.

    To be honest, I have yet to see a really great headlight conversion. Even the HID's i've seen didn't seem to justify the expense. I dunno, maybe I'm expecting too much.

    bmw headlight project

    That's exactly what I was thinking. You'd just have to figure out exctly where to put 'em. If you do decide to do this, post some pics of where you're thinking of locating them.

    TRD head comparison?

    I can't see the whole head from the pic's, but given what I can see, I'd stand by my earlier post. I doubt very much that it's anything other than a stock casting with CNC'd combustion chambers and fitted with aftermarket valves. I like the shape of the chambers over stock. It would be...

    TRD head comparison?

    Looks like they took a stock casting and CNC'd the combustion chambers, and probably did whatever else (like the water passages) by hand with a grinding tool. Just a guess.

    Losing Interest

    Actually, I've found that the wife gave up bitching about the car after a few years and settled into a kind of quiet resignation (ocasionally muttering under her breath). Works for me.:icon_razz

    My wheels don't fit Club!

    +1 except for the last line. I'm not being a hater, but as I've stated in the past...I just don't get the "stretched tire look". It looks kinda like how the lowrider 64 Chevy guys mount their tires...not feelin' it.

    My last bit of denial before the HG Job.

    Quit guessing and get a block kit from napa. But yeah, it's obviously a head gasket or/and cracked head.

    I'm about to install a fpr, and I have some Q's

    The L shaped one looks like an adapter for the fuel rail, and I would imagine the other two are generic adapters to mate the fitting with the fuel rail. I'm assuming this is a universal FPR and not a specific to Supra unit, which would explain all the adapters.
