    Any tips to straighten crushed heater core tube?

    Not to mention working on it will probably break the very old seals that seal those extension pipes to the heater coare leading to a leak. I swear every company runs shit piping to the heater core that dents just by looking at it...

    Minecraft: My Personal Choice for Video Game of the Year

    A "modern" game has a render distance and limited amount of polys, after seeing some of the stuff done in that game I understand exactly why it looks "crappy" in close. A modern engine can't pull off what it does. Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWPk5zlKAEM

    won't start even with brand new battery..

    Yes, batteries are the same from NA to Turbo, but our poles are opposite of a "normal" battery. I extended my cables so I could use a normal battery simply because of availability.

    won't start even with brand new battery..

    Depends on year, early ones have the wire, late have the actual fuse. It's bolted in from the bottom so it requires disassembly of the fuse box to get out. Back to the question, yes, that's usually what blows, and if that blows you get zero power to the car.

    New CF-Hood for MKIII

    Looks a hell of a lot better than the "On the Beat" hood. I'd rock it, though ViS is known for fitting like crap and seperation IIRC...

    Stock, you're a bit underpowered to say the least :rofl: Not to mention wear and tear (tired engine/tranny, clogged cats, boost leaks, ect...)

    Is there a wrong way to install a clutch?

    Yep, you could. Personally, if I ever go for big power and go over the limit of my current clutch, I'm going multiplate.

    Is there a wrong way to install a clutch?

    People have still had it happen and it's not a risk I'm willing to take. Thrust bearing failure means a COMPLETE rebuild and major damage requiring replacement of a more than just the normal wear items depending on how bad it is.

    Is the car completely stock? Probably the tranny and turbo lag making it seem really bad, easy way to get around it is to brake boost, but I don't recommend it all the time :rofl:

    Polyurethane Trans mounts for an 89' supra?

    Stock tranny mount is a captive design already, doesn't really "need" to be changed. Motor mounts are a different story, especially if you have the later style ones...
