    It's been said by many on here, and argued by many as well... stock air box with K&N drop in filter is the best cold air intake out there. It doesn't intake air from under the hood. Oh, check this out. http://sanantonioimports.com/showthread.php?t=29673 It's a cruise hosted by some local Z...

    Is my brake master cylinder dead?

    Two seals inside the MC. Take off the MC, disassemble it, inspect those seals. If bad buy another MC and replace it. Re-bleed and you should be good. You need to look into the caliper as well and make sure it's not sticking.

    My car hit the track last night...

    not bad for lifting in 4th. More importantly, what was it doing in the 1/8th? 60ft times? Running any kind of drag radial, or street tires? BTW, I got a cheapie helmet from Walmart for $39.95. Looks goofie, but it works for the dragstrip. Pull the plugs and check the gap on all of them...

    What spark plugs are best in today's market?

    I guess the only downside is that you'll have to change them more frequently. My car runs great with the coppers. Years ago I used to run platinums and they ran good too. Oh, and I was going to tell you to check rockauto for the platinum prices. Make your purchase worth it and order other...

    exhaust piping/resonator recommendations?

    What exhaust do you currently have on your car now? Do you really need anything bigger than 3" piping? http://www.mandrel-bends.com/catalog/

    What spark plugs are best in today's market?

    Autolite 3922 coppers. Cheap & gets the job done. They're said to be better conductors of spark than platinums, but they don't last as long. At $1.00/ea (rockauto.com) it sure beats paying $55 for a set. It appears the autolite's at rockauto.com are now $1.40/ea. They should be roughly...

    I'll have to make it out to one of those hang outs one day Miguel. sterlingae: sounds good, but don't rush and make mistakes. Get it done right the first time. I can't wait to see your car.

    Sad day for me :(

    I'll drink to that. We'll see you back in action one day. Make us all proud and finish med school. Reach your dreams, and maybe one day you'll be cruising an LFA and not have to worry about getting another MKIII.

    Impossible Timing

    Are you sure you have the timing light cable clipped on spark plug #1 wire when checking timing? I guess that would be a dumb question cause you obviously know which cylinder is #1. Hmm... you got me on this one. In for answer.

    You know guys it looks like for the first time we are all going to have our cars running together. I'm kinda excited. Maybe we can all go for my ritual weekend morning drive around Medina lake roads. Perhaps grab something to eat afterward. I've never been to Bobby J's Old Fashion Hamburgers...

    89jdm7m, who is that in your avatar and what's in his mouth. I've always wondered.

    I remember the days....

    What is the cost of living like in Saudi? You did mention less than half a dollar per gallon of gas, so I assume it's pretty cheap to live there.

    I haven't started messing with the MAP ECU cause I don't know what I'm doing with it. Besides, the car is running good the way it is.

    "91 Supra vs. 2010ish E class Benz in the twisties...

    A couple of things about that video. I've seen this and Tsuchiya other touge battles. Don't let that 175HP fool you. There's some serious HP/weight ratio goodness going on there. We all know that's no ordinary car. Hell, it even has a "cross" ratio tranny. :) Most importantly... his...

    "91 Supra vs. 2010ish E class Benz in the twisties...

    Awww yeah, that AMG is in trouble now. I'm gonna take that logo, enlarge it, and put it on both sides of my car. I mean business now!

    "91 Supra vs. 2010ish E class Benz in the twisties...

    Yeah, I didn't hang with that AMG. He ate my lunch... three times. It was no way near a competition. He flat out ran from me every time. Even with suspension upgrades, and damn good tires I'd still be down on power from that car. It was fun nonetheless.

    "91 Supra vs. 2010ish E class Benz in the twisties...

    No, it's some goodies. Upgraded fuel, Intercooler with hardpipes, T4 Garrett 60trim sitting on an ebay manifold backed by 3in exhaust. Ran a best of 13.16 @ 108.72mph. That CLS AMG runs 12's, so I wouldn't even have a chance on a straight road. The more I looked into it that car dominates me...
