    Tranny won't shift at wot in pwr mode

    Once you start modding the car and making more power, the auto won't be able to keep up. Shifts aren't instant, and the stock shift points are timed to not hit readline. Add more power, and it's too fast to not hit redline by the time it shifts. Other than that, I dunno what your issue...

    grinding shifting from 1st to 2nd: my driving or tranny?

    Too slick and the syncro doesn't work. It's the reason the MT90 works so well, it doesn't have any friction modifier in it (like just about every other synthetic gear oil out there does :( )

    That's not bad at all. At least it's straight and has good paint...

    grinding shifting from 1st to 2nd: my driving or tranny?

    Yep, common issue. Only thing that will make it a bit better (besides tearing down the tranny and replacing the syncro) is using Redline MT90 in the tranny.

    New guy looking to swap a 1jz

    Neat car, didn't think there was enough room for a straight six under the hoods of those though. If you're going to go straight six, I'd go directly for the 2J since it will be cheaper in the long run (not hard to go 2JZ-GE + turbo). I've heard there is a way to drop a DSM/Evo motor in those...

    Massive amounts of coolant in oil. No BHG. HELP

    Nah, it's that rivet you pointed out. There should be room, but if the head and block are decked, there might not be enough room, so it's safer just to remove it.

    Track Car Setup - Advice Needed!

    I agree, don't use simple DOT 5 as it's silicone based and is not recommended for ABS systems (or high vibration). DOT 5.1 is made like DOT 3 and DOT 4 so it's fine.

    M2 Prefoemance exhaust

    If there's holes, there's patch kits that are pretty cheap that can be found at any autoparts store.

    M2 Prefoemance exhaust

    I suggest waiting then on the exhaust as a 3" on an NA is VERY loud.

    M2 Prefoemance exhaust

    He's NA, he doesn't want 3" at all since it's going to be crazy loud if he goes that large...

    M2 Prefoemance exhaust

    The pacesetter is fine as a replacement for a rusted out exhaust. Beyond that, don't expect much.
