The majority of mag wheels are powder coated, not painted. Even the aviation grade stripper has very little effect on this type of surface. Hard to tell from the pic, but did they look flat mirror like chrome or where they machined in appearance? I'm thinking they may have been spun on a lathe...

I would really like to see the continuation of the front end that the MKII started, the MKIII continued with and evolved with 2 incarnations, but unfortunately the MKIV seemed to drop completely. I always thought it lost a bit of it's "supra" signature when the MKIV lost it. I am referring to...

Is it only me or does anyone else have a damn hard time accurately reading the oil level from the dip stcik? I have the wire type with a "pressed" or "melted" or whatever metal tab on the bottom with a sorta grid pattern on it. Anyone have any tricks for making it easier to read the damn...

Make sure the motor is nice and healthy and then boost controller is a good start, from there you can.....well sky is the limit. But a boost controller will give you a nice "boost".

Old topic I forgot that I had even started but what I ended up doing and worked well but was bucket loads of work and I actually would recommend against doing is......I had the car completely stripped down bare to the metal for painting and sorta used 2 boosters to make one that is shifted about...

I'm still stuck here in Calgary, I'm so horribly depressed about this. Damn car.

Intake no, uppser and lower. If they do, you car is on fire. Exhaust yes it will certainly. But people get thier exhaust mani's and parts ceramic coated all the time and it hold up great. I had my 7m's exhaust mani ceramic coated and it held up very well for many many years without issues. So...

Or is IJ just a mythical person who is represented in our forums by a very clever internet BOT?

Is there anyone else here that thinks the loss of IJ crashing his car and leaving the community will be a major loss?

I used a heat gun and very carefully with a firm yet consistant pressure lifted and pulled it out. But be sure to undo all the nuts holding in place first of course.

Interior is the most work, I removed mine when I painted and my vote, if you want a really nice paint job is to go through the PITA or getting it out. glass is easy, interior, be careful not to break anything.

wow, sucktacular. Join the club o bad luck dude.

Wow, the grandfather of the lexus LFA died while driving a LFA in Germany. This really sucks. Hard to believe. ---------- Post added at 05:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------...

Me too for the article, thanks.

How could the original owner of my 1st 2jz with modded internals have possible been a bigger idiot?

Also found a so so cutaway view of the car. Doesn't truely do it justice though really.

I'm really curious how they keep the brake fluid from boiling off since it is so close to such high temperatures when braking. 1900 F is seriously hot, I know there is an air brake. But the discs themselves making the heat they do, how the hell do you shield the fluid in any type of line from...

Very nice indeed, good to see another red 2jz'r out and about.

Have you ever been unsure of if it's gonna be a fart or a shit, but just let it rip anyways?

Daoes a bear crap in the woods?
