True, black is one of the cheapest. Red is the most expensive solid color out there. I was wondering what chromabase goes for in his neck of the woods. Dupont has upped their price recently, and I'm wondering if it went up everywhere.

See Darrel. :cry: BTW, I won't be able to come over on Tuesday afternoon. Taking the family to the movies after work. I can make it over tomorrow after work, Weds., or any other day that week. Let me know when you'll be available.

Car looks good. How much was a quart of that chromabase in black in your area? Or did you buy it by the gallon? How much was a quart of clear? I would like to know if there's a price difference between our states.

What the hell are ya'll doing up this early? I'm about to go for my weekend morning cruise around Medina Lake area.

Darrel, don't talk to Mike anymore. He's not our friend. I talked to him yesterday and he was just making fun of our 7m engines. It sounds like he was enjoying it too. :( Yeah, I can come over Tuesday after work. I could be there around 1:30ish.

Sorry guys, it's a no go. I just came back from the junkyard. I dropped that 3rd member in no time. Took up front to pay for it and found out it was going to be $170 w/o warranty. I misread the price sheet and thought it was supposed to be $55. I'm not willing to pay that much for a...

How did you 'guess' your at 380-400rwhp with your mods? I'm on a T4 60trim running 16psi with about the same supporting mods as you. I trap 109mph in the 1/4(12.91), with my 'guesstimated' weight of 3900lbs with me in it, I come out to about 315-320rwhp. How did you come up with your...

I've never dynoed my car, but I'd guesstimate that I'm putting down 310-320rwhp right now. Car runs 12.90's as of now with the 3.73's. We'll see how it goes. I'm going to pick up this 4.30lsd sometime this week. I'm not going to put any money into it right now, just swap it over with new...

That's sounds like a good idea. Looks like that'll be my next project. I'll start a post on it when I get closer to doing it.

Maybe I should skip the 4.30 swap and just do a turbo 6.0L. That'll make my car quicker, yeah? On a side note, if this 7m goes out on me I will be looking into an LQ4 or LQ9 as a replacement. I'm still curious as to how it would run with the higher gear. Maybe I'll get it, swap it in, do...

I could use some more pick me up off boost. I don't hit full boost in first gear with 3.73's, but I do in second. Is there a chance of 4.30's slowing me down in the 1/4 due to the turbo not loading up in the lower gears? Or will getting off the line quicker cause of the higher gears make up...

I currently have stock 3.73 Lsd. If I were to swap to a 4.30 will I go quicker in the 1/4? My plan was to get a hold of a 4.30 and prep it for dragstrip use. I'd abuse that diff until it gave out. I would keep my 3.73 for back up just in case. So will I notice any gains, or is it not worth the...

Went to cars and coffee today. Saw and hung out with Miguel & Pop. It was cool. There was this older Skyline there that had an LQ9 worked over with T56 LS7 flywheel, rollcage, and other goodies and such. It sounded nice. I probably wouldn't have done that kinda swap to a rare right hand...

Looks like you have everything there to hit your goal. When do you plan on dyno tuning?

Get the ae86 and don't spend on a dime on mods for it. Use it as a daily. If the day ever comes to sell it you will make your money back, and then some. You can wait another year and save $2k for the supra. When's the next time you'll run into another running ae86 for $2k?? You'll regret it...

Roughly $835 for a shortblock rebuild. I don't have the receipt in front of me. I brought the shortblock to them disassembled. Timing cover was on the block, but forgot the timing belt tensioner on it. All parts hot tanked. Crank cut and polished 0.010/0.010 Bored 0.020 over. New OEM...

Need any help? Did you get that mid pipe done?

Good. Thanks for responding back on what it was.

I closed mine down to 0.028 as well. Last time I gapped them at 0.032 with a feeler gauge. 4000 miles later spark blowout showed up. Pulled the plugs to recheck and they were all between 0.035 to 0.041. I run Autolite 3922 coppers. I guess they burn out quicker? Then again there was a time when...

Brake boost with a manual at a dead stop? I don't know if that's possible, and if it is it sounds like you'll burn your clutch pretty good trying.
