    Need bodyman's advice. Punk kids fucked up the GF's car.

    I think I would clean the roof off real well and try the old rubber toilet plunger trick first myself. AFTER you call the police and let them have a good look at it. Who know maybe they arrested some punks last night doing this to someones car nearby, they may even have your guys already. But...

    Need Help and opinnions on my rebuild!!!

    I strongly dislike the design of the I6 jeep motor I worked on, don't know how tough etc they are, just seemed like it threw away some of the best basic benefits of being in I6 arrangement. For example and my biggest facepalm of all was that they put the intake and the exhaust port on the same...

    You couldn't pay me a million dollors to do this once! EVER!

    Another thought.....Why don't they get air lifted to the top by helicopter? Although the transfer from chopper to antenna would still be a bit to intense for me.

    Zombies Of Mass Destruction

    I'll tell you how someone, somewhere along the line had poor judgement in bringing it there because someone had no brain....... BRAINS!!!!! BRAINS!!!!!!! BRAINS!!!!!!! Perhaps they had been attacked by zombies?

    Car running smoother?

    2jz or 7m, those shims are a pain in the ass. But in the end oh so worth while. If they are running too tight I speculate that this could cause numerous emissions issues. If the valves are way on the tight side your gonna lose power too. It's just a matter of the valves never closing completely...

    You couldn't pay me a million dollors to do this once! EVER!

    I honestly speculate what this guy makes for a living? It's gotta be high or he is a total fool because I know there won't be a big line of people willing to do it if he doesn't.

    You couldn't pay me a million dollors to do this once! EVER!

    OVER 1700 foot free climb to the top with nothing around you at all to feel "grounded" to. Who the hell could do this, try and tell me that just watching this didn't give you a very nervous feeling! Would you, could you, do this for any amount of money? How much money this guy has to be paid...

    Flateric's, Rocket Red Road Sled!

    While poking around under my car I noticed that my swaybar link on my suspension had nearly cracked completely off. Which I am sure would have been a very bad thing if it had broken while taking a corner hard. Fixed it up with a little weld, but here's the before picture anyways.

    Random YouTube Videos - Round 2

    A twin engine Golf 2, yes 2 motors, one in back one in front, catches fire and burns to the ground at a public showing dyno event. Not sure why the hell the motor shakes around so violently in the video though, looks unhealthy to me anyways. Guess this is why firewalls were invented and engines...

    will a mk4 / chaser / soarer boss kit fit my mkIII?

    No way not a chance. Bodies are totally different for all three of those cars and much different than a MKIII supra body.

    Bilstein struts question

    You have about 1 1/2" of adjustment to play around with for front and rear. You have to remove the strut and spring from car to do the adjusting. But overall a very nice combo for the MKIII especially with H&R springs, IMO.

    1JZ wont rev past 2k

    I had this very same issue with a 2jz swap and it turned out to be that cam position sensors pins had not been rewired with the correct polarity. Simply de-pinning the cam sensor and swapping the pins around fixed the issue entirely. This may or may not be a possible fix depending on the wiring...

    Mechanical Fan on 2jz swapped MKIII

    I think it had alot more to do with the RPM it let go at than the amount of lockup it had at the time. It let go on the very upper end of a very hard 3rd gear pull. I would estimate I was very near or at 6800-7000 RPM at the time of failure. I imagine at that RPM speed and judging by how deeply...

    Mechanical Fan on 2jz swapped MKIII

    Well I gotta say the fan worked great........until, one of the blades let go and went through my rad. It appears that my particular plastic blades had a defect in the base of one of the fins in the form of a giant bubble. The blade with the big air bubble in the base of the plastic let go...

    Anyone Painted the Plastic Trim in their cars interior?

    How well do any of these paints hold up to scratches and chips though? I'd always imagined that the slightest bump with anything hard and you get the old color immediately coming through on you and looking crappy. Whats the durability like?

    camber bolts seized

    I can't believe it but I was just going to post a thread with the exact same topic and question. Just spent the last 4 hours trying, prying, heating, freezing, bleeding in an effort to get just one of them out. The nut came off just fine, but the cap of the bolt and the off-center washer it is...

    Should I re-use this head? Or get a new one?

    I personally wouldn't put this head in my car, but wait and see some more opinions. But now way I'd use it.
