    I guess we're speaking of gte cams? Doesn't that change alot more than you have mentioned. I have heard that if you switched to gte cams you basically had to re-tune your entire car because the airflow and gas mixtures would be off. I also hear that if going to gte cams it's better to...

    Rear Main seal question

    Toyota did mine and it's leaking so it must really be that easy to screw up.

    Rear Main seal question

    Did you do it yourself or have it done??? Because I took mine to the dealer and had them do the clutch and the Rm seal. And my shiznit is still cranked up. I didn't have the tools to do it myself last time. I'd rather mess it up once myself and learn how to do it. Than pay someones'...

    1jz Port and polish work

    It ought to cost right around $300. I'm not even going to guess on performance gains. I would only venture that they are probably not as substantial as you hope them to be.

    help... clutch issues

    So Fuzz. If you could do it all over again. You're saying you would go with the same clutch? I'm not messing with you, please don't take it that way. I'm asking honestly.

    Na engine bay shots!

    :aigo:WOW:aigo: I know how bad that is because I know how many hours I spent porting and polishing my intake with a dremel. Has anyone ever thought of running the vafm into the compartment underneath the passenger lamp? If you could put it down there with the filter attached. I haven't...

    30k. That's it??? Circa 70's usdm isn't exactly what the rice brigade had in mind I am sure. Neo-traditional is cool and all. If' it's going onto a dodge or chevy. If you're going to look at that, you may as well think about toyota oem. But that's just my opinion.

    Just what I've done in the past couple weeks.

    If you strip the nasty leather away from the stock shift knob. You will be left with a pristine rubber shift knob that is still stock. EDIT: I tried that high temp paint. I mean the $15 per can paint. It works no better than the $8 paint and that stuff is trash. You may be far enough...

    help... clutch issues

    Anything you get that isn't cheap oem is better than advanced or autozone. I have been looking into clutches as well. I found a trd clutch for right under 400 at horse power freaks. I haven't looked heavily as I'm hoping this clutch lasts a while after it's running.

    power from a NA 7m

    My 91 had an 8th an inch of crap on all the pistons. I cleaned them up with gasoline and pb blaster. I did this for days..., just soaking them in this mess. They turned out well but not spotless. It's kind of like your favorite glass pipe and trying to clean it after all the gunk...

    Is it ok/safe to bed new pads/rotors in the rain?

    No, they won't respond that quick...., they're in the shower. Brake pads have a wear and fade ratio. Not to mention new pads. Fresh heat, as you mentioned. Not a good combo. When you throw in the climate. It'll be like slapping 2 chunks of frozen butter on there and expecting it to...

    power from a NA 7m

    That is right where I am hoping to be with all of my efforts. On my mkIII. I was never fond of the mkII's. They have grown on me quite a bit sense I went supra. I preferred the mr2. Until they did that spyder noise to copy the boxter. Anyway..., I bet your car is a fun little drive.

    power from a NA 7m

    Anyone know how to dyno a car with a massive air ram to see what the RWHP would be at 70MPH or 90MPH or (my favorite) 110MPH? :naughty: Grip it and rip it. :evil2:

    power from a NA 7m

    I agree AJ. The hood sucks for a scoop. Which is why I followed up with a cold air port. That I have been thinking about. Just 1 of many variations. I'm sorry if I offended you.

    power from a NA 7m

    I have been looking forever for those cf frog eye covers with the passenger side mini scoop. I have been wondering why no one has a hood with a scoop. I have been kicking around design ideas for the bottom plastic covering for where the air intake breathes from. I don't want to use the...
