    Installing a valve body: How to video

    John at IPT put this up a while back. I thought it should be on Supramania. He is showing his mods. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZFwSP2TbTY&feature=channel_video_title

    30 mpg

    Technically, I did 29.9 mpg at 75 or so. Get yourself an A340E and 3.73's today. And fix all your tuning issues you created by trimming the airflow signal. Well, you have to do it a little. Yes, 29.9 mpg. I wonder what it would do at 65 mph...

    Tires

    What are you using, what do you like, what did you not like? I haven't bought new tires of this kind in some time. The category is high performance, non all season. No track tires, I plan on driving them for several summers. I was thinking of this Bridgestone, but am worried if it can get 15k...

    2011 Mustang GT

    The chasis on last model year was by the far the best thing Ford ever did. Now they added that 412 hp 5.0 with variable cam timing. I want one real bad. But I also don't want to swing the 5 bills a month for it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydykiWKW6fE

    Porsche 911 GT2RS

    It seems Porsche didn't like the fact that old fashioned Detroit iron (ZR1) would stomp all offerings from the 911 lineup. Even the GT2 was "only" a 120 mph car in the quarter, unlike the ZR1 which a monkey could do 130 in...

    A quick sprint from 70-110 mph.

    This is a youtube style video, hosted on youtube. My first one I made was 60-110. But it downshifts to 2nd then back up to direct real quick, and that cuts ET. So I did it again but from 70 and shut off O/D. This is still on fairly low boost for fuel cut and my stock A340E. Sorry about the lack...

    1991 stock system question

    I don't see any amp under the passenger seat carpet. The wiring diagram shows the harness right there. I don't see the harness either. I looked in the slit in the carpet next to the rear air duct. Could it have come without the amp? The original owner bought this car loaded. Shadow gray leather...

    Is this what your Bosch By Pass Valve looks like?

    Motorola phone

    I bought a Motorola 4 band unlocked outside the US. It did work everywhere. Except the US. It is the L7. Well, I went and picked up a local sim card for it. T-mobile. My wife said they suck, I don't really care. I will hardly use it. But with the sim card installed, the phone still says No...

    Turbo Land Cruiser

    Probably not what you are thinking. Or maybe it is. The 4.2 diesel, blown. I like it. If they weren't an arm and a leg, I would pay the extra to import it. It probably needs particulate filters in the exhaust. Among other things. If only we could get better engines in the US. Or at...

    BTU efficiency to horsepower

    How many BTU's does a trans cooler need to expel at different HP levels? Some are rated at vehicle weight, which also makes sense. Say 300 hp, 400 hp or 500 hp?

    Exhaust manifold temperature

    How hot does the stock cast manifold actually get? I had an idea of using my high heat engine paint with ceramic on the manifold as long as the manifold is off the car. They claim 500 degrees, and 1200 intermittently. Since exaust temps can hit 1200no problem, where does that leave the manifold?

    The Luxocruiser 3650 lb sled thread

    I have decided to post a few notes and pictures of my "in no hurry" build up. My car will remain as Motor Trend coined it, Muscle Meets Manners. That isn't to say someday I go for a bigger than CT flanged turbo. Time will tell. I started with the HKS off road down pipe. It is a 75mm pipe...

    +Original Supra reviews

    Take notice of the preproduction ringer, the worn in production examples, and what high heat does to testing. MA70 only. I don't have all of them. Some are incomplete. If others have originals, not the 54th copy of the April '89 Car &Driver, I wouldn't mind them being added in. Enjoy...

    The new truck for the new girl

    The car seat doesn't fit in the Supra or Mustang. Something had to give, and it wasn't going to be the cars.
