Didn't have time when I posted this to explain....I was just meaning that each deviation from straight constant diameter pipe will represent a backpressure on the system. (Bends, size transitions, things impeding flow like a throttle butterfly, etc.) A throttle body at the diameter of the...

as i have told countless people in the past, this is just plain incorrect. Grab a fluid mechanics book and have a read, you shall find out why.

all i've ever used it for on other vehicles is when passing on the highway - to downshift to get into the powerband before giving it gas (and avoiding a hard downshift)

my entry....not quite finished though.

here is what I did... before: after: keep in mind that I had the quarter panels completely removed, as well, i bought new fender wells. At any rate, find out how much rust there actually is before getting anything done about it. Mine was quite a bit more rusted than yours looks like...

I disagree with you completely on the necessity for hubcentric wheels. By removing the support provided by the hub, you are introducing a whole pile of new forces to the equation, including shear on the wheelstuds, and bending forces on the stud mounts and outer ring of the hub itself. Wheel...

I'm in sherwood park (Well, actually, I am currently in Sydney, Australia travelling, but I'm back to town in April). My girlfriend went to Scona actually...about 15 years later than you though

jdmpartsgiant had some sweet and rare mk3 badging, I'm glad I managed to pick some of it up. The door decals must be super rare to find new, thats awesome.

sorry to sort of harsh your buzz, but I got a brand new front bumper skin from champion toyota for about $210.00 (shipping for $1k worth of parts was $100 to canada) Seems like it is more or less a wash compared with what you paid for yours...they are in fine shape though brand new, aren't...

hyflex (foam/rubber/other varieties) rule for working on the car - best part is that you can wash and re-use them and they take forever to wear out.

agreed.

if by sitting you mean not moving under its own power, then over 1 year. It hasn't been driven regularily for about 2.5 years. This will change very soon though.

I just read through the entire thread and I am quite dissatisfied with the scientific evidence backing up bi-tron. Like it has been said repeatedly, if this product is so outstanding, what is stopping bi-tron from performing (and the most important: making results publicly available) SAE, API...

hmm, no sense of humor, my bad. either way, good luck with the sale, car seems to have alot invested in it.

you do realize that the entire country isn't affected by a single snowy weather system don't you? We don't live in igloos either.

did you replace and re-seal the side pieces on the roof panel? This could be your problem.

I would suggest cleaning properly....If you weld overtop of grease and oil, you are introducing a huge amount of carbon into the steel, contributing to brittleness. Go over it with a wire knot wheel before and between weld passes. Also, let the steel cool by itself, no water or anything else...

is that 140C or F? if celsius, throw them in an oven for half an hour.

they are basically self-tapping so they fit perfectly fine. There is some sort of tapered plastic insert inside that you screw on until tight.

I have one too...Unfortunately mine cost me $110CAD and I had to wait 8 months to get it from japan (Toyota blamed 9/11....). Sweet knob though.
