I'd imagine after 2 1/2 months that your battery would go dead. All cars draw around 1.5amps just sitting. That's not going to deplete your battery a couple of weeks, but over two months I imagine it would. Why not get a battery tender since you let your car sit for long periods of time.

How long does your car sit before starting it? It's easy to check for a parasitic draw with a voltmeter.

Ok, I put the new wastegate in the car. I put the combo of springs in to run 12.1 psi. I have to lean it out while in boost because it's running so rich it activates fuel cut right at 10psi. I'll head out in a bit after my tuning laptop charges up, and fix the tune. I'll see what the wastegate...

Let me know when your next couple of days off are. We'll get this done.

I wasn't aware that a turbo seal could fail due to fuel cut. Maybe it was just the turbos time to expire. It just so happened to do so when you were raising the boost.

You can get your car running good with those mods alone. Only thing is you'll be running rich under wide open throttle, and won't have the ability to lean out the mixture for maximum performance. That's not really a bad thing considering that's what it does stock. Piggybacks give you the ability...

Well, I pulled the trigger and bought a precision 39mm wastegate today. The cheap ebay one I had was no longer controlling boost. I narrowed it down to the WG. I hope I was right. If not I have a nice new wastegate. We'll see by this weekend. Nice thing about this precision WG is that it comes...

Still building that '87 Supra for drag racing? Why don't you sell the Supra, your current daily driver, and all of your upgrades then you'll have enough money to buy your smart car. You want to go green and help the world give up that drag car you're trying to build.

It may benefit someone else on here if you were to tell us exactly what problem you're having, and the solution you have found. Not long ago I had a problem trying to snake out the high pressure steering hose out without removing the rack. I was never able to do that so I cut the old hose in...

What have you been up to Mike? Still have the supra? Doing a lot of hunting? How are the kids?

Don't give me any ideas. I've already been up and down the Autozone "performance" aisles looking for ideas to spruce up the old Supra. And where in the heck have you been!? What's new old man?

A full car load $20 includes racing is insanely cheap! I once took my friend, his son & friend and myself to race last time I was out there and it cost a total of $65 that night. It was $15 to spectate, and $20 to race. I guess I shouldn't complain. I'm sure Marc goes through a lot to...

We all know ass hattery was going to ensue. Hell, 1% of 700 is 7 complete morons doing stupid shit. It's just going to happen. I'll never understand why car meets have to happen at outdoor shopping strip parking lots. Nobody, or very minimal, car meet goers support any of the vendors around...

^^^ That's what I said. Do tell.

How was the cruise? Everything went good without a hitch? How long did it take to complete that route? What did you guys do after the cruise... hit up on a nudie bar?

I've always wondered about aftermarket injector companies. Do any of them manufacture their own injectors, or do they buy Bosch/Siemens Deka/Delphi etc. and modify those? I'd like to buy unmodified large injectors straight from the factory rather than have some company drill holes in the cap to...

Must be side job prices. No reputable paint and body shop will do that kind of work for that cheap in the United States.

I'm interested in the quotes you're going to get. I wonder how much it would be in N. Cal.

I'm not trying to make fun or judge your spelling because that would be my biggest mistake, but "rowtard" is awesome! I think that should be the new way of saying rotary engine. I like your autox truck too.
