    Drove my first turbo Supra

    heh...i broke the training wheels, still got em around here in pieces too. That's when started riding the big boy bike. I had never driven a turbo car before mine, so coming from an N/A to a 340whp ballistic missile was quite a step. The first time I dropped the hammer I thought I was going...

    Nut size on misc turbo related parts?

    i think nearly all the bolts, nuts, etc...under the hood, and probably even most of the car, are all 1.25 pitch and 10, 12, or 14mm hex head. There are exceptions, but nearly everyone that I replaced was that size. if there's a fastenal near you they should be able to get you the same kind of...

    So I go to the machine shop to check on my block progress, AND!

    the previous owner did, i've got the recipts sitting right here...they did a good jobs on the valves themselves but the block and head surface were really crappy...i know it's why the HKS gasket failed. Like I said I hope your's doesn't come out looking the same way, if it were me and not the...

    my new setup (pics)

    same here, I chose that location for the tweets when I got my system put together, but I suck at fiberglass and molding. I'd pay a good $40-$50 for some.

    finally got a DD

    I would have had it cosigned, but we were prettymuch told there was no way in hell I could do that with no credit to begin with....which is something I really have to work on....so it's in my parent's name. I'm still probably going to pay it off as quick as I can though, $5500 in interest...

    code 11 help

    it wasn't done properly in the firstplace! I could literally feel some of the machining marks with my finger, and that is just plain unacceptable. The head and block were checked for warpage, and were within spec, and there was no ping or anything to say there was detonation...plus it was...

Now all the money going to keep one car on the road is going to keep another car on the road, but instead of parts and tools it's insurance and payments. anyway, it's an 03 Lancer...kind of sporty, and I don't really see any need to drive it fast because, well, it isn't fast...

    code 11 help

    So I just got done with a BHG job, reassembled everything and took it for a test drive. Turns out the radiator was cracked, but that's been fixed. While on the test drive I threw Code 11. It didn't happen immediately, about halfway though the drive around the block...I'd say about 3/4 of a...
