    Rush racing 2step launch control

    For $200 why don't you just try it? BTW, there are LOADS of videos of this thing in action with 1/2JZs. Seems to work on them at least.

    How bent can the honeycomb be?

    Looks completely unusable to me.

    Running on common sense here as well!

    How long have you owned yours?

    3ish years. I bought it in pretty good condition (well, excellent compared to most unrestored examples) as my 1st car for a pretty high price. As of now there are a TON of small things wrong with it, eventually I will get them fixed but like many others I am in a major pinch now...

    combustion chamber "squish pads"

    ^AV just lets you know you're fucked... not that you've avoided it.

    Running an open BIC Down pipe

    I've had a t-bolt clamp on my stock bracket for a little over a year now with no breakage or loosening.

    what kind of oil for the R154

    I don't really know what I said to provoke this little rant, sounds like you have some sort of personal beef with "the man" at Mobil. Maybe jealousy? I dunno. If you think that Redline is somehow a more trustworthy company because it's harder to get and it says "racing" on every non API or ACEA...

    what kind of oil for the R154

    OK. You should only use Redline MT-90, you can also use 75W-90NS if you like. The latter has no friction modifiers what-so-ever. You can get them from Summit or if you look around you could find a private local auto parts store that stocks Redline products. Oh, and Mobil 1 is overpriced junk...

    what kind of oil for the R154

    0 for 3. Sports cars (Endurance racing, if you prefer). Come on now, how many WRC teams do you know based in FL? ;) Like I said, FOR ME it's not easy to get at all, Mobil 1 is, I've seen how well it holds up so I use it. I said something you've never seen or heard of??? Huh?

    what kind of oil for the R154

    ^Synchromax? That's for transmissions requiring ATF... no wonder it didn't work in something made for using gear oil.

    Optima Batteries, who's running them?

    Been running a PC680 here for prob 2-3 years now and put it through more hell then I ever expected it to live through. It was even jumped backwards once which killed it to 7 volts! Still as strong as it ever was. Just don't let the car sit for more then a week or so if you have a thermostat...

    what kind of oil for the R154

    I can say that because I AM "them". I don't watch "them" put it in, I'm the one putting it in, and I can tell you that's what is used, tough guy. Redline is up to the job as well, use the mt-90 if you like, supposedly it helps if your R154 doesn't shift well. For me, it's too much effort to get...

    what kind of oil for the R154

    I would just use Mobil 1 Synthetic 75W-90. The best race cars in the world use it, and its super easy to find.

    Opinions on Porsche 944

    If I were to do it all over again, I would probably buy the 944 over the Supra. Assuming both equal condition.

    driving with no hood?

    Been quite thoroughly consumed in the real world. LOL. I just happen to have a bit of a dead spot during the off season here.

    driving with no hood?

    Wow. I though this might have been out of desperation... not sheer stupidity.

    Auto-off features not working - Headlights, radio, etc

    Have a turbo timer or the remains of a turbo timer harness in the car?

    After your car has been down...

    Also, you included suspension, but remember the really stupid stuff like making sure the wheels are on properly and torqued. Seems kind of ridiculous, but small stuff like that will catch you out when you're all excited and about to take it out for the 1st time.

    Boost Gauge Suggestions

    I loved the old style GReddy gauges (the ones that match stock damn near perfectly), really a shame they changed them.
