After a lot of searching, I found some small spring clamps. http://smallengines.ca/ecom.asp?pg=products&specific=joonirirk&gotogrp=2021&gotopgnum=1 They are $3.75 each locally here. I would have felt ripped off to spend $100, so I went with zip ties for now. Let me know if you guys find...

Registered! How do I sign up for the drags? I'd be in the "MKIII MODIFIED CLASS" Can you buy race fuel there, or should I bring my own?

My Eclipse deck has time alignment, and I tried it out. It does make the music sound more centered, but somehow sounded more confined and mono to me. I put it back to no time alignment and it sounds wider and more spacious/stereo. Just my personal preference I suppose.

I've occasioannly used a pair of snow tires on my MK2 that must be 10-15 years old by now. Didn't know it was a risk!

Probably not now that I'm going to Vegas. Although I may be able to squeeze in a short photo shoot with you on the way back?

It's official, the car will be at Vegas! Hope you guys can make it to SILV 08 :) A short video: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80189 We will get some better footage later with a proper camcorder! Engine bay was not painted, and is still white. Not worth showing just yet!

I was showing my sister and some neighbors the car, and they got a little cell phone cam footage. The LED tails show up all funky and flashy becuase they are dimmed with a pulse-width modulator circuit that makes them flash faster than the human eye can see. They look solid in real life but...

Lol! Literally :) Partner found. Mark (ra24man) and I will see you guys there!

Are the group rates still available? Perhaps you can PM me the new phone number we should call.

This one has a valve that opens under high exhaust pressure. Cool idea! http://www.raceinspired.com/pc-3175-35-apexi-active-tail-silencer-gt-spec-and-n1-turbo-universal.aspx

On a long highway road trip at 60-70mph, would an exhaust silencer cause any change in gas mileage? Not sure if an exhaust restriction would matter since there is not a huge amount of flow at cruising speeds.

I'm considering going to SILV but the idea of 20 hours of driving each way is too much for me. Was hoping I could find someone who wants to come, but may not have a car ready; who could share the driving time, gas, and possibly lodging costs. Someone with a reasonably clean driving record and at...

Most of the clearance I needed was done with a hammer :) But a small amount of cutting with tin snips was done as well. Not much trouble at all, maybe 15 minutes of work. Got the deck, amps, and tweeters installed, and it sounds WAY better than the basic side-facing door speaker setup in my...

Can we get some more info/details? What parts/fluids? Thanks!

I did sand all the paint off the sides of the friction material. How does chamfering make a difference? If these things are so important, why don't they come this way from the factory?? Any one else have problems with the Thermo Quiet pads coming apart? After taking my pads out 4 times now, I...

Where's the best/cheapest place to buy Wagner Thermo quiets? How is the brake fade under heavy braking? (Yes, I cleaned and greased all the sliders on my brakes)

What a nightmare. I removed squealing brake pads to apply brake quiet to the back of the pads; made no difference. I then installed KVR carbon-metallic pads which are supposed to be quiet. They make a very high pitched squeak under light braking, and it made little or no difference after I...

In the 2nd vid, from a distance, I'll bet it sounded just like a driveby shooting and peeling out away from the crime scene. Definately would make some people call the cops!!

A local supra owner said that my boosting issues could be caused by a weakened wastegate spring, and that if I shimmed it a bit, it might help it reach the boost my controller is set to. Worth a try?

I'm interested. If the crower cams weren't so problematic, I might have already bought a set by now.
