    After Tsunami, Dog Doesn't Leave Friend

    I watched the video today, and while it was heartwarming to see the dog sticking by the other....what really pissed me off was the news crew was just standing there filming them rather than helping them.

    Walbro Pump Differences -- SRT-4 Neon vs. MKIII Supra

    I've been thinking of replacing the fuel pump in the Supra while it's down, and I'm most likely going to drop the tank to drain the gas anyway...figured while I was in there, and since I don't know if it was done with the previous owner and their half-assed upgrades/repairs to the car...

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    If you make sure the little 'usb' logo is facing up on the connector when you go to plug it in, you're golden....lol.

    I honestly don't know who makes them; I haven't found any manufacturer's stamp, other than the Japanese-equivalent 'DOT' logo cast into the hub area.

    Dried Laundry Detergent in Seat Cushion

    If it makes any difference, it was laundry soap for 'HE' machines....lol. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

    Rod knock or noisy head?

    I had what I thought was rod knock on my motor (still not fully confirmed), so I yanked it, tore it down, and rebuilt a spare block. When I pulled the main and rod caps though, the bearings looked damn good for a 13x,xxx motor; however, when I pulled the cam caps, it looked like someone took a...

    Lowe's - 1 Harbor Freight - 0....

    I can't quite picture the routing you're talking about, but I had to route mine this way...or I'd have to remove the A/C stuff, and I was leery of that because I wasn't sure how that would've affected the Heater/defrost for winter. I know in my truck, when you turn the heater or defrost on, the...

    Dried Laundry Detergent in Seat Cushion

    This may seem like a 'Here's yer sign' moment, but is it possible to get dried liquid laundry detergent out of the seat cushion foam? I had a bottle of liquid tide in the car sitting on the driver's seat, and somehow the bottle got punctured and the detergent soaked into the seat cushion...

    1jz coils on a 7m, here's the wiring diagram

    Here's a question -- what are the main differences between running this setup and Tookwik's 2j coil setup? Mainly, what are the cost differences? Is there any advantage to running one instead of the other? Performance differences?

    Lowe's - 1 Harbor Freight - 0....

    It's amazing what the proper tools will do for a job. I finally started working on the Supra again, and decided that the best way to route my IC piping is to relocate the battery and go through the fender where the battery tray would normally go. Enter Harbor Freight -- Figured I'd buy their...

    Pursuasive Speech Topic help

    If you want to keep it car-related, how about smog regulations? Speed Limits? Bureaucratic legislation aimed against modifying cars? Cities/states shutting down race tracks? That should get ya started...

    Building a new desktop PC, what do ya'll think?

    It seems I stand corrected then. I was always under the impression that certain games were written to take advantage of the Nvidia chipsets over the ATI cards, especially since a lot of those games (stating 'designed for Nvidia') got better performance with Nvidia cards than the ATI...

    Building a new desktop PC, what do ya'll think?

    Not saying he SHOULD go with the Intel, but was just pointing out that they outperformed AMD...that's all. Also, every AMD I've used has run hotter than equivalent Intels....which is also a reason I think most notebooks run with Intel vs. AMD. ---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ----------...

    Building a new desktop PC, what do ya'll think?

    I think you have things a bit backwards -- ATI is good, but most games are written for Nvidia instruction sets, so you get better performance with Nvidia cards. Go check most of the 3Dmark benchmarks and reviews on both cards, you'll see that Nvidia spanks ATI in most cases. The same with...

    what killed your last motor thread

    Exhaust side head bolts worked loose somehow and it pissed all the oil out half-way between La and Vegas.....not sure about the bottom end, bearings looked ok but haven't plastigaged 'em....but cam journals looked like someone took a die grinder to 'em....

    XTD Clutch scam!

    Now THAT'S irony for ya...LMAO! Imagine if everyone that chipped in did that; what would have gone to him for his product would instead be used against him in a court of law......PRICELESS! ---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

    Netgear WNDR3700 router problem

    My uncle just bought a D-Link and his wireless N had a low transfer rate. I ended up dialing down the mixed-mode to just G/N and changed the bandwidth to 20/40Hz. It brought it up from ~68k to ~150-200k, and this was with a USB dongle plugged into his computer instead of a dedicated card. I...
