    gasket maker?

    I've had a representative from Permatex come down and show off the Ultra series to my class. Ultra doesnt corrode or hurt anything. http://www.permatex.com/resource_auto_prodselect.htm http://www.permatex.com/resource_auto_lit.htm Note that Ultra grey is specified for imports because they...

    My restoration project - Rusty 89

    90% of automatic transmissons yes. Dont forget to plumb the B&M before the ATF hits the radiator.

    post pictures of your exhaust!!!!!!!!!

    Dude that sticker is fuckin kick ass!!! Also, the flat black on the white Supra is an excellent touch. It looks invisible, just the way I like my poop shoots.

    gasket maker?

    Permatex. Same company as Loctite, but Loctite is far more heavy duty than what we need. http://www.permatex.com/products/automotive.htm

    gasket maker?

    The smelly RTV stuff from Permatex is literally the same shit from the 60s. The new stuff (Ultra series; Ultra black, copper, grey, etc.) is far better, better than actual precut gaskets, and is used OEM on pretty much every car manufacturer. They only make the old stuff because people still buy...

    Headlight Issue.

    Grounds are most likely the culprit for stuff like this. Fortunately, everyone builds each headlight on a separate circuit, so if one is doing something but not the other, then its easier to diagnose etc.

    Auxillary electric fan

    I have one because my car was originally auto. Its loud and doesnt seem to move much air in comparison to the efans I have

    Manual Transmission fluid. What are you using and how do you like it?

    Okay, wasnt sure. I was reading "free of engine deposits" as "no more from whats already there." Thanks for clarification!

    Manual Transmission fluid. What are you using and how do you like it?

    Even RP? That may be, but like I said, I use it to clean things (tools, slides, anything) and it works so...would that be the dispersants?

    Manual Transmission fluid. What are you using and how do you like it?

    What say you about adding a small amount of ATF to the crankcase as an additive? Its inexpensive but still quality stuff. Granted I'd never use it purely for engine oil, it still does wonders for cleaning things, in or out of cars

    Ram air duct into sealed cold air box

    Technically its winter down there, isnt it? Crazy bastards. Its not like it snows though.

    Ram air duct into sealed cold air box

    I would as well It does most of it, but that was a really stupid comment...would you rather have winter air coming in or summer air? According to your theory, it wouldnt matter. However, cooler air coming in will get heated up roughly the same rate as hot air would; so the cooling air would...

    Why would you go 1JZ when..........

    Same here. It was my first car at 15 years old, bought it myself. In fact, I'm switching back to it as a DD. Also always staying 7M in this chassis Thats what I was thinking this would be about. Most people end up upgrading eventually. As long as you do it right, you should have only one...

    ¿Targa Bolt Size?

    I'm going to GUESS that its 6x1mm or 8x1.25. I'd wait for someone to verify that first.

    Manual Transmission fluid. What are you using and how do you like it?

    I've always used MT90 in my hot pocket DD, because thats what everyone says to run regardless of car. I was expecting a magical difference, but after changing it and the diff oil (which were both nasty) I noticed none. Perhaps because its a newer car in decent condition. As such, I'm not...

    So where's all the weight???

    If you're serious enough to spend the money, aluminum bolts. They are ridiculously lighter. The new BMWs use them because they have magnesium blocks, and steel would corrode instantly. In fact, some are one time use. Two disadvantages are huge price and non-ferrous. I like being able to pick...

    BIC Thunder Exhaust

    3" is good up to what, 550 HP? I'll eventually see if I can max out a 35R with a stock exhaust manifold and 3" exhaust. Anyways, this thread is about how awesome Randy is and the stuff he does for our cars.

    BIC Thunder Exhaust

    He's right though, thats kinda much for a car around that power level. Any more than that, and you'd have to change the turbo anyways. Also, I think you'd be better off with an ovular or dual exhaust as well.

    Faulty Expansion Valve Recall

    Sounds like someone has worked on the line himself. I too dont have a heater. Previous owner told me he removed the heater core. I'm not sure why. Closer inspection shows that the hose fittings that go to it are still there, so it might be.
