Hey SM; got a couple minor questions that just kind of bug me because I want my car to be perfect. After sitting for about 12 hours (dead cold) the car is a little hesitant to start. This really only started happening recently. When I 1st got it, it prob took 3 seconds of cranking to start...

Yep I knew it would happen relatively soon. Just because of the fact that my car probably attracts attention. Cop was a dick (which ones arent) to me the whole time. I was goign fast on this big ass straight away coming back from work (speedo said ~110, but it has NA gears, so a bit less then...

I've had a small coolant leak from my PWR rad for quite some time now coming from the threads on the barb that go to the overflow tank. So today I go to try and fix the leak and low and behold THE THREADS ARE GONE. I just unthreaded it and it turned about twice and then just fell out no threads...

Hey guys, recently I have decided to end my power building plans with an SP61GT or the like of bolt on turbos because I'm not going for huge power and it should save me a lot of money then going full upgraded turbo kit. However added to the bolt on turbo I was thinking of porting the exhaust...

Hi everyone. I read a lot about fuel systems and making sure not to go over about 85% injector duty or its possible they would start to go static. I was wondering if there was any combination of A/F and some other readings to calculate injector duty or if its just something most people take a...

Hi guys, a couple things I need really fast: -I've dont nearly everything to install a new clutch, only old piece left is the pilot bearing. Unfortunately, I do not have the SST needed for removing it. When you push on it and spin (as per TSRM) you can feel roughness in it (like slightly flat...

Hey guys, I'm replacing my clutch and I've got everything down accept jacking up the transmission to start to remove it. I was going to use my floor jack origionally but I realize now that it is very risky. Doing the differential with it was dificult. I was wondering if there was any way other...

Hey guys, I reciently bought a new Al driveshaft and on the end that plugs into the trans the outside seems to have been a nicely polished type surface. When I got the new one it was the same way, however the extreme humidity around my area at this time has made the end begin to get surface rust...

Hey guys, soon I'll have an Al driveshaft in my car and obviously I'm going to run a driveshaft loop incase something takes a turn for the worst. I was wondering which one you guys run and if there is any one that is better then the rest (lighter, better fit, etc) or if I should be fine just...

Hey guys, today I'm replacing my rotors pads and brake lines with stainless braided ones. Now, my problem is I cannot for the life of my get them off where they connect to the rest of the line. I feel as though the nut is just going to wear away to nothing before I get it out. Is there some...

Hey guys, I've been thinking about wheel upgrades and I have been contimplating a couple different options. However, I don't know the weights of a few of them so if anyone knows it would be great. -91-91 5 spoke -MKIV NA 5 spoke Thanks!

Hey guys, I've been looking around and I think it would be interesting to switch to the NA 4.30 rear setup for my DD. Now, I know that I need the rear from an NA Sport package, and that to make the speedo read right again I'd need the NA gear for that as well. However, I was wondering what the...

Hey guys, whenever I get my guage pod I'll be installing my new GReddy guages but I have a question as to what I need to tap in to in order to have the work correctly. Here's what the manual says I need: 12V power source line Ignition power source line Parking light source line So whats...

Hey guys, today was the 1st time I was out driving the Supra for a longer trip then 5 minutes in a while since I finally got it insured and registered. However, I ran into quite a problem with my right front brake. During the drive about 20 minutes into it after I had gotten gas on my way back...

Okay, so I figured I'd find out who watches the awesome engineering extremes that is formula one racing on here with a discussion of the happenings that unfolded at the USGP a couple of hours ago. I believe that the FIA's decision to totally eliminate the Michelin drivers from the linup by...

So I'm looking around to see how I can drill the hole I need to mount my guages and since I'm doing my clutch soon I figured I'd just check to see if everything adjusted right at the pedal... low and behold, the pic. They say a picture speaks 1000 words, so I'll let it do the talking. What do...

Hey everyone, finally I'm about ready to be able to do my clutch install (Spec stage II and Spec flywheel) . However I have a couple questions before I dive in. Obviously I will need to buy a couple more tools. I know I will need a snap ring tool to get that off; I have a torque wrench, however...

Hey guys, well, to start the story; going on a year ago in August I got my car and on the way back we hit a tractor trailer tire (big enough for me and my dad to think it was a small bear coming up on the highway) we hit it doing about 75. It destroyed the bumper cover and some other front end...

hey guys, I bought a PWR radiator and some new coolant (have not used it yet) I was about to get toyota red however, the rediculous stealership wanted 20 bucks a gallon for it! I don't have the money to spend on something so expensive that, god forbid, if something goes wrong I'll have wasted. I...

Hey guys, I'm in the proces of flushing/replacing thermostat/installing PWR radiator right now and most has gone smoothly. A couple questions if you could answer ASAP would be great. Thanks! -upper radiator hose seemed a slight bit too large for PWR outlet, I can easily slamp it down to make...
