I've never liked exhaust wrap because it seems to accelerate deterioration of various manifolds (-from what I've seen).. my understanding is that the wrap holds heat, and that's not exactly fantastic seeing as how manifolds get rod hot already. also, there's the fact that the wrap can hold...

I've wanted a set of Gains Silhouette since I first acquired my car.. I have a set of the Kevin M. covers, but they are nowhere close to the real thing IMO. As stated, there was issues, and I was able to pick up one of the last ones. I wish they would be replicated because I also had the Hiros...

yeah, I just got that bewildered feeling that's common when one fails at something after a lengthy or expensive process. guess I'll take a trip down to the local shop and see if they can do something.. I want to say Previa u-joints are able non-replaceable, and my dad went to someplace and...

To be clear, I already had a 1PC driveshaft, and I am in no way interesting in going that route again. Anyhow, my current driveshaft was acquired to replace the 1PC but has since developed a metallic squeaking noise at low speeds. Today, I replaced the carrier bearing hoping that was the issue...

I'm not sure grinding it going to fix that one.. lol

haha, I agree.. but to be fair, my '87 doesn't have PPS, and the light steering at high speeds is scary as hell, so much so that I have considered going manual (mustang rack) quite a few times. That is indeed different from what the majority of others are suggesting here though.

I wish you guys weren't limited to 91, it makes me feel bad when I see that. We can actually get up to 105 pump in FL through certain Sonoco stations.

93 or 94 (I run 93 US).

I have decent experience with both various Nissan starters as well as Toyota/Lexus, and to be honest, they have never struck me as being phenomenal. However, like with many things OE versus aftermarket, I would highly suggest OE when it comes to starters, and I can tell you, 4 years probably...

yeah, it just wasn't adding up for me regardless..

http://www.redline808forums.com/printthread?id=4705406 (the post to which I am referring is listed under "05/17/10 at 12:06 AM") I was surprised to read this, but perhaps I am just ignorant of the facts. Though to be honest, I had always read/heard the exact opposite provided both were in...

They're totally different for the most part and cannot be bought through Toyota separate from the moldings (-so I was told from multiple sources including Toyota). Knowing that, I decided to machine the old pre89 ones to the shape of the 89+ with a grinding wheel. What that entailed was...

I've also seen the sticker placed bottom right corner.

I just siliconed those holes the other day, Grim.. I could never figure out how my hatch rusted out the way it did on the sides (by the tails), yet the rest of the hatch seemed fine. I'm pretty sure it was the same issue you had as well.

yeah, I was of the same mind. I really don't plan on coming back to the U.S. anytime soon (if at all), so I've looked into buying a set of decent twins for now. I'll update as needed, but essentially the decision to buy another set is complete. also, I own a Previa and have always wanted to say...

Interesting, I figured on not mentioning used twins due to how much work is involved in swapping them in and out versus an unknown amount of time they will last. But from a monetary perspective, I suppose that makes sense, and this opinion seems unanimous.

my rear twin is finally producing the death wine on hot starts. now, I'm adept enough to realize that rebuilding the twins is expensive for the most part, switching to a single is a way better idea, right? indeed.. so, what the hell is the issue here? well... I applied for a job to teach...

Oh the Zavs family.. very nice list so far, I'm looking forward to more updates.

I would have never known that.. Hm. Did he state why by chance?

350whp is about all one's going to see from those mods (nearly identical to my setup). There will be others that beg to differ, but considering the numbers I've made and seen from others, that's about it. Also, that's providing the twins are in good working condition. That isn't considering the...
