I dont suggest taking it apart unless you know what you're doing and are careful. The housings are just big circular metal hunks with specific area ratios, but are otherwise no big deal. The wheels and shaft themselves however are delicate and should be precisely balanced. I've been told to...

I think this thread needs more Supra related seats.

Its neat to see what it looks like on the inside, and yes, obviously not ideal for flow, but not bad otherwise. Of course, it needs to be cleaned nonetheless..

I think its kinda neat, but also looks like its unfinished, and if it was smoothed out, it'd end up looking like the stock one :P It also looks like someone trying to cleanly modernize it by using the latest styles...Evo X obviously, also R35 GT-R, GTi, non-USDM Fords, Audis, etc. I dont have...

Thanks man! It was just a krylon can with no prep work or anything and I'm happy how it came out. I'm not expecting it to last forever, but for $4 a can, its good enough.

Muffler arrived! I've already done some crude test fitment. I'd really like to have it running next week, but we'll see. I still have to loop the power steering lines until I get a rack, rewire the e-fans, put the intake and dash back together, and obviously put the exhaust in.

This arrived today. Tomorrow the Magnaflow muffler arrives (in case you were wondering, I went for this). Its one of the biggest ones they make in 3", though I opted for the 8" wide instead of 11" wide which is slightly shorter but probably bigger overall. I think it will help with clearance and...

I saw these cars recently at a UCF meet. Very clean, looks really nice. Your car was set up quite well, I especially liked seeing a genuine pre89 show up done nicely!

I did, but also touched them with dirty hands/gloves etc. It really didnt matter that much to me regardless; it was something to do until I get it operational again

Wow, that is extremely cool looking. I didnt expect it to come out looking that nice. I think mine were polished once long ago, but have faded slightly ever since. I just used some simple green on them, and some lesser soaps such as dish soap and run the hose through them. Of course, I...

Find the leak elsewhere :D Mine was the actual intercooler. Unfortunately, I dont have the time nor money to upgrade to a FFIM, so I'm sticking with a stock again. I figured it might be my venting BOV as well (which it still could be), but especially if you still have the stock piping setup...

Definitely an excellent thread filled with experience, science, and logical thinking. This is why I still come to SM; people here have been sorted out between the casual car guys who mod and the experienced people who know what they are doing. Thanks guys, this information is invaluable.

Well I wasnt the first to have this idea. I found this car coincidentally on YouTube; the owner is Hungarian and linked me pics to his buildup Pretty close to what I had in mind, sans the NACA duct/scoop integrated for an intake box. I'd also fab a shroud for the cowl vent (from radiator to...

I used generic replacement Champions before and the ceramic around the electrode broke in 3 of the 6 after barely any use. A switch to NGK fixed all related problems I think if there were better plugs out there that were more expensive, MkIV guys would use them

There's a reason why everyone, MkIII or MkIV owner uses the NGKs, regardless of power output.

Miatas have round headlights in square frames. I think its ugly personally, but I didnt buy the car off of looks. After seeing it in the frame from the above picture, it might not be so bad. We'll see. Speaking of Miatas, those are Miata e-fans on the left, arent they?

All the VIN/firewall badge (its a pre89 thing, 89+s, even early 89s, have the badge in the door sill) doesnt tell me that I want to know is the exact day my car was made. I'm curious!

I'm pretty certain it was simply dropped before going in the engine. Its pretty easy to do and go unnoticed.

You mean like this? You're right though, it is too far forward. I wish I could find the one without the photoshop filter I'm tempted to start off with something as rough and barbaric as that with a spare hood. The idea is to make a hood in carbon fiber thats so ugly that its functional...

Feel free to ignore the Z31 hood scoop over the turbo. I used this pic because it was a good angle. I'm not done with it yet; still planning on doing the top secret vents at least on the drivers side; passenger side would be a bit difficult to photoshop out the scoop and put the reverse vents...
