Thanks for the replies. I should have done some more research on hot tanking. Is it possible for me to do it myself. I want to clean the block and repaint it but its very dirty. Can I pressure wash it and have it sand blasted? Can I get away with just power washing and prepping for paint. Is...

So im about ready to have my machine work done. Just a few more small/semi easy steps to have the block taken down. Im trying to compile a list of things to have the machine shop do and I want to make sure I have everything. Hot tank block deck/lap the block ra30 or less Machine/lap head ra...

I have the same problem with my head. Three or so exhaust manifold studs came out with the threads still attached. Now im worried the head might be no good. It has 200k miles on it but I really don't want to buy another one.

If the filter was backed up wouldn't the reservoir overflow with PS fluid?

There's a lot of ways to save money. For me it was putting things into perspective. Use a website like mint.com. I realized I had spent $55 one month buying Dr. Pepper and gummi frogs at cumberland farms. I thought wow I pay that much for internet and its way way better value for what im...

I spent Sunday changing the oil in my a4 and cleaning the garage. I skipped a step and the drivers side window was down. I risked it and hooked up the jumpers and thankfully the window went up. I pushed the car outside and parked it. This opened a lot of space in the garage and I could get to...

Congrats man. Very impressive dyno numbers

Wow talk about a supra concentration camp

Whether you live with your parents or not its easy to get into trouble with credit cards. I never use cash to pay for anything. Pretend a credit card is like your debit card and you can never get into trouble. That isn't to say living with parents isn't gonna save you money because it can save...

I really don't like the brown haha. Id love to paint/have it painted midnight blue or black. That may be out of the budget though.

The engine is finally out. The instructions I was following while alright for the most part, were not complete and could include a lot more details. For instance it says to remove the 2 engine mount bolts. I did that, but turns out there was something else that held the engine to the frame, and...

Nothig scares me like the inside of a transmission. Great job getting back together again with no leftovers.

1.) You aren't making equal comparisons. A 16oz bull barrel will not be as rigid as a 16 oz fluted barrel 2.)steel is steel. Heat conductivity isn't changing a fluted barrel heats and cools faster than a bull barrel 3.)not sure what proof there is of harmonic differences or how it affects...

Using your same example, that's like saying a block of aluminum cools better than a heatsink of equal outside dimension. It is surface area that cools, fluting increases surface area. My first two guns, I bought an HK USP Tactical in .45 when I turned 21. It was my only gun until March 2010...

Fun hobby man. I'm not worthy of flying in the same area as you. I can't do any 3d, but I have a ton of fun with my blade msr

Is that a brown supra? It actually doesn't look that bad. I have the same color im pretty sure and was thinking about going black or midnight blue. Seeing yours makes me rethink that. Good luck on the build

Getting close to doing this myself. Keep us updated on how it goes, im very interested

I took it off first and washed it in my sink. Not worried about the antifreeze so much as how grimey the pipe was haha. On a side note I regularly wash paint chips down with antifreeze

Bit of an update here, not sure if anyone is interested or not haha. I'm thinking the head gasket isn't blown, and that its more of a blockage issue. Before looking at the pictures since I started taking the engine apart this weekend. I started the car again one last time, and went to show...

Not sure how to describe it but the thing on the door that stops the door from just swinging out full force. Its in between the top and bottom hinges. I need it for the drivers side!
