i just bought this supra a month ago and i tore it down competely, the engine is at the machinist and i'm in the process of building my first turbo car. this whole thing is just an experience for me because i'm tired of rebuilding motorcycles. no reason to be a hater

my car is being built to hustle people, the crappier it looks on the outside, the more money people are willing to put down. i already got a brand new car that looks nice, the supra is just for messing around on the weekends. i have the tint ripped halway off the windows, dents, dings...

mine will look like one from the outside, but it's like that on purpose. the engine/drivetrain is a different story though ;)

i got hooked up with a new set of probe pistons last night at an extremely good price, so i'll be able to tell you how much a bore job costs as well. as for the torque plate, i'm sure that's done without even thinking. he does ALOT of work on $10k-30k+ race motors, and is recommended from...

my estimate: cheap new set of walmart tools (if you don't have any) = $50 parts = $300 labor = 1 weekend spend the money saved on more important things like beer and/or hookers

mike taylor has been in business for 10-15 years, he's not some guy that does mediocre work with a couple of tools. i don't know what all he has in his shop, there's just alot of huge machines that i don't know what do and wall to wall of engine blocks/parts. when we have motors to be done, all...

this is what the one looks like on my car:

yeah that's a torque brace, i have an ingalls etb on my cobalt, but that's only cause it stops wheelhop, without adding vibrations like poly mounts. the ingalls on my car comes with a mounting bracket, so if you twist the engine too far, it will bend the mount and not do any damage to the engine.

mike taylor in somerset, he's doing my work and is the best around. some people from louisville come down to get their high power motors done, and he does ALOT of drag and circle dirt track motors. i can get you the number if you want. he's not the cheapest shop in the world, but you get every...

will do, thanks for the info

steel/iron... that makes more sense, man those were hard to do anything with, the housing was easy as pie. i'll take you up on the chaps, just make sure you send the tag with them so i can resell them on ebay :biglaugh:

only polished the front, not the back, except for one spot on the first one. what kind of issues would that cause?

don't be hating :biglaugh: i know what it does and everything that goes in it. just don't know what it's called

i got bored today and thought i would take up the wonderful (sarcasm) hobby of polishing things. i started out on my the timing gear and coolant thingie (not sure what the actual name of it is) and it turned out pretty good, but the gear was not as easy, and still needs alot of work. the...

not sure i know what you mean on that, does clevite only resell "ndc" bearings?

most of the places i've seen have said the coating is impregnated and their is no change to dimensions of the stuff being coated. do you have a link to anything stating otherwise? i wanna make sure lal my ducks are in a row if i get this done cause it's an extra $75 or so i could spend on beer...

i posted this question in the general section with no answer... if i get a good set of clevites, should i send them off to be coated with dfl, or since these are a higher quality bearing, not mess with them?

yep, or you could have a sleeper like us we pull out on occasion to dumbies talking trash with more money their mouths can keep up with. (i don't own this of course, so don't come looking in my garage for illegal stuffs lol) 1998 zx9r stamped registered and licensed as a 2000 zx6r, bored...

if i get clevites, should i get them coated with dfl or not?
