    Are coilovers really worth it?

    Who are you again? They state that they're rebuildable (as are all coilovers I'e seen), but I see no proof of them being dynoed. I bet they're all valved the same as they have 30 adjustment points :3d_frown: BC doesn't make inverted style for the Supra, so it's a moot point. They also...

    i was asked if the 1j twins would fit on a ge wtf?????

    Ok, so this is in the 7M-GE section, so I'm ASSUMING you mean a 7M-GE with 1JZ twins on it? In that case, hell no.

    Clutch release hub clip problem

    It's not being installed correctly then. What happens is the lock ring will spin in the hub, slowly machining the slot wider or just getting spit out. Doesn't help that the TSRM is a bit vague on how it's put together as if it was installed wrong to begin with (like on my car) you have...

    mk4 brakes to mk3

    It's generally not done as they're not bolt on (requires an adapter bracket and centering rings) and they're very expensive compared to other options.

    washers under the valve springs

    I'm assuming it was assembled without them. If you keep each part together (valve, retainer, locks, bucket, and shim) it shouldn't need readjusting. Doesn't mean it won't, but it shouldn't.

    the j tube and the hole in my block.

    Yep, you're right ;) It's part of the M engine design that was kept. Oil pump drive shaft would have a cam on it to drive the pump, IIRC some of the shafts have the cam, dunno if it was on the 7M though.

    Is the 7MGTE J-tube a restriction?

    FP is only supposed to rise under boost (1PSI boost = 1PSI more fuel pressure), if it's not going down under vacuum, yeah, it sounds like the j-tube. Also, the jtube is a restriction on the return, it wouldn't cause it to be lean, it would cause it to be rich. It sounds like the 12v mod in...

    7m or 1jz

    Clips are getting rare, thus expensive. 2JZ NA-T swaps have gotten significantly cheaper over the years, and the engines can be found locally. I stayed 7M, but if I was to do it over again, I would have gone 2JZ NA-T or full GTE swap.

    not good throttle response

    The actual switching of the gears is done through solenoids activated by the computer or through linkage control from the shifter. The line pressure cable is there to increase line pressure to reduce slip. More throttle = more power = more slip so it increases pressure to reduce this.

    not good throttle response

    NA and turbo are the same part number, the changes are by year and what maker. 89615-30020 all the way up until 08/1991 89615-33010 after 08/1991 made by MATUSITA 89615-33020 after 08/1991 made by NIPPONDENSO This is world wide as well. No, the cable is for line pressure, it has ZERO...

    no rod bearing on # 1

    Mine was made of the same stuff the OEM exhaust gasket was made of. Really sad to hear they're cheaping out :(

    Ford Expedition 1, Me 0

    Only reason those cars handled as well as they did. But yep, total nightmare to work on (hell, 3rd gens and the LT1 4th gens were just as bad)

    not good throttle response

    Cable is a line pressure cable, it's not a kickdown cable like on an old Chevy. It doesn't effect times of downshifts.

    Are coilovers really worth it?

    Rebuild the bilstein with a shorter stroke (mine are) and run a shorter spring, done. Even easier with a koni. Never EVER seen a professional drift car with an off the shelf coilover setup anyway. Most are rebuildable units like can be bought from bilstein (and not the cheap ones).

    What The F$#K is wrong with the youth these days?
