For safety reasons, I'd avoid playsand. (Silica doesn't play well with the respiratory tract)

After completely disassembling my car and partially re-assembling, it is safe to say that the weight is pretty evenly distributed about the various parts of the car. Weight loss could be achieved by replacing the bumper supports with aluminum, using lightweight suspension components (moreso in...

Tell the mechanic to go fuck himself. There are no more than 25 bolts to take off (4 driveshaft, 4 or 5 differential, and then 12-16 for the drive shafts, which easily retract) and the job can easily be done in under 2 hours.

It sounds like you weren't drawing enough blast media through the gun. I use our glass bead blaster here at work (5x4 cabinet) and it will clean the rust off of anything. Even my cheap sandblaster at home (using silica sand) works like a charm. My typical blast pressure is around 60psi for...

yeah, the diagram was helpful. Is this the exact setup you used on your own car? I'm debating going with the straight +12V mod or the dual relay setup. Did you notice a more stable operation of the pump at idle? This is where my pump was having "issues" with producing sufficient pressure...

apparently yakima makes a roof rack system for the supra. for those who say a supra shouldn't have a roof-mounted bike rack, have a look at this:

tell him to get a few...

I've got blue tinted glass on a white car...don't think there are many around with that.

if parts cars count, 3. 86.5 blue hard top (parts car) 89t super white hard top (wrecked) 89t super white targa (55% finished)

because it is designed to operate at a constant RPM for extended periods of time, and not continuously start up/shut down (like a vehicle)

the small wire on the starter is much easier to get to with the engine out of the car. Much swearing/wrench throwing occurred when i tried to install a new harness with the engine in the car.

if you have both cars, just swap the wiring from one to the other. Also, an early 89 car without tems does NOT have the appropriate wiring installed. Adam

I'm slowly installing the boring things, like door hardware/guts and moldings and such. I'm currently wiring grounding cables from the battery to the back of the car and installing new fuel pump wiring with a kill switch. I should have some new pictures in a week or so once i get some...

look up the meaning of gvwr, and then feel shame.

no, i'm wiring in a bosch-style relay to send +12V straight from the battery to the pump (bypassing the existing wiring)

I'm going to be wiring in a bosch relay in place of the stock toyota unit, while maintaining the stock resistor system. I have looked at the diagrams of aarons, and just wanted to confirm the stock system operation before wiring everything up. at idle/low throttle, the stock relay is...

This is probably true....although I have a bit of a bias based upon the work I do (metallurgical failure analysis)

I have never laughed so hard as i scrolled down a page...

80 lb-ft is simply a measure of the force needed to turn the bolt. It does not directly translate to clamping force. Friction between threads and the friction between the bolt head and the clamping surface have a significant influence on the actual clamping force of a bolt at a given torque...
