    dugums build - need a ton of help!!!

    Injectors Back from WitchHunter Performance: Head back from machine shop: Should I store the head a different way? This is how I had to transport it in my car, it's on a soft block of wood. I will not be putting it on until next week - would it be better if I put it on end?

    dugums build - need a ton of help!!!

    Here is a shot of the teardown for HG replacement in progress: Here is how it has been sitting for about a month now - awaiting the return of my turbo and some other items!: Kevin M Headlight Covers - I think I like 'em - they will look that much better when my new lip arrives!: Weezl's last...

    dugums build - need a ton of help!!!

    Finally a few pics to make this thread a little better: Here is the car when I purchased it. HATED the wheels and they were in terrible shape. I actually ordered new wheels 2 weeks before I bought the car!: Interior pretty much perfect - the silver shift knob has been replaced by a TRD black...

    Like I said, I don't think I have the cajones. I have gotten so much help with this one - I would hate to try to do it again. You can see how fast the data can change though - the vast majority of recent respondents have been answering "block+head machined - no problems". To evaluate my...

    $50 paint job write up

    They call it a $50 paint job, but I can't imagine the time you would have to put in to make this look passable. It seems like a rattlecan with good prep work and dedication would take a lot less time and give MUCH better results (I am in NO WAY recommending this, lol). I used to do body work...

    Ha. I am doing mine right now and have been very tempted to try a MHG despite the fact I have only machined the head. The car doesn't seem to have ever overheated (I was doing the HG as maintenance) and the shop who did the head said it was within factory spec. I had them prep it for a...

    dugums build - need a ton of help!!!

    So, finally an update! I decided to get a couple extra things done, so not much progress. I got the head back - resurfaced, 3 angle valve job, valve seals, shims, etc... I also decided, since I had the time, to pull the injectors and get them flow-tested and cleaned. I sent them to...

    Nice post. I was hoping at least to have more data and perform similar evaluations. Obviously, the quality of the data is a little suspect (based on the vagueness of "problems" etc.) As I was creating the options for the poll - I originally had a lot more possible responses. When I...

    Officer Murdered by driver of supra

    I think the thread that MDC posted about the story may have something to do with that. There seems to be history between these two guys - so who knows. Perhaps this cop isn't totally above board, again there's no way to judge that with the information that is out there. As far as the cop...

    Possible Rolled Back Speedometer?

    I know that was directed at RTA - but that reminds me - The guy I bought the car from kept telling me that the car had an HKS MHG in it. Well, thank god I thought to ask about if the car was prepped properly for it! He actually meant that it was in the car - meaning IN the back seat, lol...

    Possible Rolled Back Speedometer?

    Well, since the thread got bumped anyway: I had a similar situation. I ended up buying a black 89t with 80k on it. I overpaid for the low mileage, and I really do not know why. There were quite a few things that needed to be done. I don't really know why the low odometer reading is so...

    Can this paint be restored?

    No. If the rest of the paint is in decent condition, have a good body shop respray and finish to match. You can remove (or have them remove) the panels needed to paint to avoid overspray - a decent body shop should be able to get a good match on that color and, if they do really good work...

    Iphone is a bust.

    I only got to use it for a day, so I didn't have enough time to play with everything. A company who I do some work for had access to a few of them for a project. I did not get to set up many things. The internet was a little slow, not as slow as it is made out to be in this thread, but slow...

    Iphone is a bust.

    You guys not liking the phone isn't going to stop its success. It is actually a really nice piece, which does many things very well. It is sort of a bummer that it is not the fastest web technology, but that won't matter to many people. From a marketing standpoint, releasing the iPhone...
