    My 7M passed away today

    treated? how's that work? whats it do? i'm guessing its some kind of heating and cooling process? i cant think of anything else that could change the strength of metal.

    My 7M passed away today

    damn dude, i had to skim the pages but i'm sorry to hear about your car. I did get to see one pic of the car posing...no damage pics? but when i did i couldnt hardly believe you wanted to part her out. especially from the looks of how nice she is aesthetically...beautiful car. i think i've...

    my tires are weird to. apparently a kid that drove it before me let me know that he "wailed on it" and the tires dont smoke... which i find kind of odd. but whatever. man...today i felt kinda bad because i was accelerating a bit too enthusiastically..speeding...in a residential area and a guy...

    stupid jpegs upload from camera really big...(mb wise, not pic size)

    ok. thanks. yeah i was thinking that but then i tried comparing two and i cant see the difference when i switch back and forth. i'll have to get two up side by side and see. i'd like to keep the quality. but i will try my normal setting. i've had it on 'fine' so i'm sure thats part of it...

    stupid jpegs upload from camera really big...(mb wise, not pic size)

    I have a sony 8mp digicam and when i upload pics the 8mp res. ones usually average around 3-4 mb per pic! some are as low as 2 depending on the content but i noticed something silly... i'll open a 3mb pic in MS paint and hit save to overwrite with paint's version and i get what i see as an...

    except theres the figure that the 93 has at least 60 extra hp over the 87...as much as 160 extra depending on the model. sooo...the 87 wouldnt run those times. the weight didnt change much either from those years. i found one dragrace printout that had an 87 stock vette that ran a 14.8 at 92...

    REP = RIP

    on the post count thing... i think post count is good to stay... its more difficult to BS that. and it helps give an idea in SOME cases how dedicated a person is to supras based on how much they contribute. its really rough at showing this especially for the newbies that come here already...

    Gift For Christmas?

    i already got it...digicam. sony DSC-W100. awsome camera. i'm getting more presents though from other people/cash and i'll probably buy new plug wires. i'm hoping a LOT for a stereo though considering i dont have one at all right now. and i need stereo brackets so maybe some christmas...

    REP = RIP

    it was nice to get positive comments to let me know when i did stuff right and i only used it to give props to those who helped considerably, especially those that obviously type for more than a few minutes or stay in a thread to help. but if it was out of control i'm glad its gone. seems like...

    how did you check it? back them off a crack and go at it again? i dont understand how to check it other than doing that, because static friction is much greater than kinetic and you cant just apply a torque wrench, hear it click, and assume its actually that pressure.... but yeah what did you...

    Question about headbolts

    exactly my point. its already on there, and i'd bet theres more risk in taking them out than just tightening them down more. i think i went to about 70 and have yet to retorque more than once after heat cycling....i've probably passed that 500mile marker too..i wonder if i should get on that soon.

    Lotus-born suspension on the MKIII Supra?

    yeah thats what i would think naturally. but i think another big part would also be tire wear because a drag car would eat up skinny tires in a flash. ok. i've decided in basic basic physics lessons there is a slight misconceptive lesson i had given to me because it didnt really apply to most...

    Lotus-born suspension on the MKIII Supra?

    woah. yeah i'm glad you posted that. opens my eyes more every time i hear one of those stories. i dont have a turbo so i wouldnt get that sudden burst of acceleration sadly...but i'm sure it could still happen. have you ever grabbed a steering wheel for Gran turismo and compared it to the...
