IJ, Add "SM The Tack Hammer" under superhero's screen name.

I like it. I bet it looks better raised up a little. Waiting for pics after buffing.

Awww yeah! Let's see pics of the senior citizen. BTW, this thread deserves to be jacked if the OP doesn't even participate in his own thread. Reminds me of back in day when we would jack threads that we thought were full of BS. We would just start our own conversation until the OP stops the...

LMFAO @ superhero's story. Can we get a pic of you with canvas workpants, a tool belt, and red hot suspenders? MMmmmm. Oh, and hoisting a big ass sledge hammer over your shoulder.

I got my turbo to intercooler coupler in today and I had to fight myself not to put my car together. I have to wait for this manifold heat shield wrap that I ordered, and wrap that one runner that's closest to the coupler. That's how the last one got burnt through, and made it crack. That...

Welcome Kase. I was in Columbus/Glidden recently and found out where my family originated from. It was a nice quiet town. I might be going back to visit my Uncle & Great Uncle soon. I would like to find out more about my family. I see there still quite a few family members hanging around...

summitracing.com and jegs.com have tons of guages. Autometer & VDO gauges are nice and accurate. I'm sure the Summit brand gauges work as well.

Rockauto.com for hood supports. They're cheap and easy to install. I'd check ebay for the guage piller pod.

I've got another coupler ordered and on the way. I have to pick up some heat shield wrap and see if I can somewhat protect the new silicone coupler from doing the same thing as the last one did. We'll see how this set up holds up.

Last I drove my car I was having boosting issues. It felt like the classic boost leak. I check all of my hardpipes and coupler and found none. That was until I looked again today. This is what I found. This coupler sits very close to the turbo manifold. That's just the way I have...

Only if you make a few passes down the 1/4. I might be able to make it. I'll let you guys know toward the middle of the week.

There is thrash driveshaft & driveshafts unlimited here in San Antonio that can make you one.

My wifes power doors on the drivers side hasn't worked in a while. I finally decided to order both front and rear door lock actuators, and fix it once and for all. Checked with the local parts stores and cheapest I found was $42/ea. With tax that would be $90. I checked with Rockauto.com and...

Broken clutch release hub? Have you at least taken off the inspection covers and have a look see at what's going on? Or maybe a broken clutch release fork. I'm betting it's one or the other. Good luck.

I'm with you on this one.

They just told you that to rid you off. There was nothing wrong with that 1J. The truth will set you free.

It is alot easier to just check the valve lash before you move on. Don't assume it's 100% fine just because you think it's already been done. Just check it. If they're all fine then you've wasted 5-10 minutes of your time checking it. Then move on to the cam journal clearances. Check RK by...

Have you done this??? Are they all in spec? Tapping noise that matches RPM's and burning oil does sound like rod knock to me. I hope I'm wrong here. I just recently installed BBC springs on my car. No problems installing them, and they're just as quiet at stockers. Feels a little better...

Absolutely not. Stay far away from those guys as you possibly can. They DO NOT stand behind their work. I've known a handful of people over the years that's been fucked over by them including myself. My rebuild from them lasted an entire three days before it popped and they told me it was my...

These guys are here in San Antonio. http://www.mddistributors.com/ They're off of IH35 and AT&T Center Pkwy. Maybe you can put it together and take the assembly over to them to have them balance it. That's if they balance turbos in house. Call and ask.
