Just as the title states, im trying to figure out how much i will need to save all together and i have no idea how much it would cost to have the machining done. I know i won't get exacts i just need good estimates. Not in quid or pounds either, i am american and have no idea how they translate...

Thanks Jdub, i like your answer. For me and lowtaco (you will want to know this for sure lowtaco) how is it suggested to prepare the deck surface on the block, i heard that u DON'T sand it to get it as smooth as possible i actually heard that on the deck surface on the block ( not talking about...

I wasn't saying the HKS was bad, I was just wondering why everyone thinks it is the god of all headgaskets when there are other options that are easier. Im sorry to be the one to question the almighty HKS headgasket but really what the hell is so awesome about it? Funny quote about the idiot but...

Man this whole headgasket thing gets confusing to me. I hear good things about the HKS one but if the head isn't machined practically perfect it will go out. In fact i know a guy who has the HKS one and it blew a few thousand miles after replacement so how is it "the best". I also hear that the...

Thanks for all the info, now hopefully i can get enough money before march so i can get my setup thrown together.

Yeah the texas nationals, do you know what date it is gonna be held this year? I really wanna go with my car. Oh and where do live in TX?

Maybe (just maybe!) one day a law where it makes it illegal to drive a vehicle putting out to strong of emissions, kinda how you can't use a product that put's out to high of a CFM rate. Look at it this way, if they make it illegal they would probably offer a program similiar to this one which...

Oh and hey frontierguy, do you plan on going to the Texas nationals this year? Oh and love the rear tires, are those weld wheels on the back? Love them drag racing wheels.

I live in silsbee, its near Beaumont and beaumont is near Houston. Actually as far as im concerned 12's are good considering it weighs almost as much as a truck and most street cars don't even run thirteens. I haven't taken my car to the strip yet but my goal is to run a solid twelve, i haven't...

I have an 87 turbo supra with the good ole' 7m and have really been wondering, what steps should i take for a good strong 12 second pass? I know a twelve doesn't sound like much but that will be a strong time for a street car. Oh and here are the things i will not do to achieve this time, will...

Awesome supra, i used to have an 88 rx-7 that looked like yours too bad for that accident.

Hey there is one bright side. Your supra just got rarer! No, but really that sucks about the supra it just goes to show there aren't many hardcore car enthusiasts anymore. I wouldn't do that to my car for 20,000 grand. Sounds crazy? Well it shouldn't if your a hardcore supra enthusiast. Screw...

I have a home (PURCHASED) and a crazy sinkhole supra project and do pretty well, Guess where i work anyone? Walmart! Its not what you make its about where you have your priorities. I don't party every weekend so i save a lot of money! It does help having an awesome housing market in Texas, 1400...

Don't have the internet at my house thats why im so late to type this but i did some research lately and found out DON'T sand the block's surface to gasket because its too hard to make it flush and even. DO use a gasket scraper to get the gunk off. If you haven't messed with a headgasket before...

Oh, and i found a good way to keep the cam gears in line to the belt, just zip tie them.

Thanks for all the tips, yeah i heard it was quite a chore to remove thats why im willing to do whatever it takes to skip it! I would love to try it but the weather here is so hot and humid you don't want to wrench for no more than an hour. In fact the first bolt you touch your already sweating...

Ok, thanks. You have made my day! lol

Hello everyone, im doing the headgasket swap and was wondering do i have to remove the crankshaft pulley to change the headgasket? It says in the tsrm online to do so but if i could aviod that headache i would be extremely happy. The timing belt is a gates and is in very nice condition so there...

Man why the hell do you let your girlfriend talk to her ex? Thats just a big f 'n mess waiting to happen. That guy in the mustang is a big fag, if he was in texas i would kick his ass with a blown headgasket. Keep your car in decent shape and you should be able to take his ass no problem.

Why have you gone through 3 radiators? Doesn't make sense to me, i have the same godspeed radiator and it cools very good compared to stock. In fact my car kept over heating so i replaced the thermostat, but it kept overheating so i checked the oil(didn't look foamy)so i replaced the radiator...
