Old guys who are not happy with their job go out with their Supra and intimidate the hell outta the local ricers.:biglaugh: :biglaugh:

I mentioned to him abt polishing the cams. He said polishing them would create too large a clearance. I will post good pics later on tonite.

So I went by the machine shop to see the cams. Sure, they're scored right at the camshaft cams. He said "i'm surprised they didn't seize". He showed me the difference in the journal gap when the caps are placed correctly vs. incorrectly. When the right cap is used at the right location, i...

Hey wassp. Months ago I pulled my engine due to bhg (which had been "repaired" by the previous owner). The bottom end has been fully rebuild, and I just got a call from the shop a few minutes ago about the head. He says whoever replaced the head gasket before i bought the car) inverted the...

Welcome to the forum. It's refreshing to hear from a youngster who can actually write. Like you, I HATE rice, but love RICE (the food). Only by chance I ended up owning two Honda Civics (99% stock), which I daily drive. And I agree, many people mess around with those poor cars, bringing bad...

With the ST sway bars, I would personally go with the softer of the two settings in the rear. Here's why: You're already putting in a thicker, stiffer sway bar in the back, which increases rear stiffness as it is. Hopefully you will install the front ST sway bar. The car will have a fairly...

I'm in the middle of my rebuild, and my machinist swears by Probe pistons. He has built some very powerful engines using the Probes, and he recommends them without reservations (one can always spend more $$ on anything). He tells me they could handle anything less than 1,000 properly tuned and...

You didn't post your budget, Ck, but if you only want to spend like $3,700obo, buy my 95 Civic EX Coupe, which is reliable and economic as all hell (37mpg city), and fun to drive, to boot. PM if you want more info.

After I did my hg repair on mine, using a mhg and arp studs at 80 lb-ft tq, I could still hear the gurgling sounds behind the dash, specially with a cold engine. A few weeks later I retorqued it to 95lb-ft, and the noise went away for good. Something to keep in mind.

That sure is one clean Supra! Consider yourself very lucky, even with the rod knock. Once you fix the engine, the car would be awesome. Some of us start(ed) up with an ugly car...

It seems to me you have a vague understanding of how the legal system works. Perhaps your understanding comes from watching TV. In my line of work I see and talk to judges, defense attorneys and prosecutors every day, five days a week, 11 months out of the year. Without going into details, I...

Give them a call, and tell them what happened. If possible, record the conversation. It's possible they would want some indentifying information, to know who they are dealing with. They would probably ask you to send in the bottle. Don't do it. On the other hand, since you have suffered no loss...

Agree 100%. And using some liquid to fix the leak is a bad idea. I wouldn't risk damaging the PS pump or clogging the lines by using that liquid you mentioned. Get a new PS rack in there, use fresh AT fluid in there, properly bleed the system, and be done with it. You may want to replace the...

Truer words were never spoken. Agree 100%

One born within the US or its territories has qualified as a US Citizen, Mr. Einstein. My beef with your post is this, however: "i realize that the USA has opportunities that other countried do not, should the advancement of society be denied due to geographical differences?" Damn right it...

Dude, it seems to me you are/were running a high fever. Fever tends to make the patient feel like s/he is very cold, and they feel the need to warm up. Hence you cover with three blankets and drink hot chocolate. Obviously, Advil brings your fever down, and because you're all covered up, you...

I could never hear the Toyota pump, but I could hear my Walbro. Nothing objectionable, but the faint noise was there. You may also want to check into an MKIV TT fuel pump. I've never heard one humming away in a stock TT MKIV. If you want more horsepower than stock, you'll have to make many...

Hey, I bet the ladies can't resist the classy approach, can they? :biglaugh: Btw, Kroze you still with her? It's been a while...

Do you have accurate oil pressure, oil temp and water temp gauges? That way you can see before and after temps/pressures, if you do go ahead with this. I'd be very careful about messing with engine oil temps and pressure. Why not just service the heck outta your cooling system and leave well...
