Preface: -The following is a good guide on how to remove the oil pan with the engine in the car. Many of us do not have the equipment to "pull the engine" for every problem. With this you can re-seal the oil pan, change the oil pump or attempt some bottom end work. -I successfully cured...

Yeah theres "a few", it seems everyone in that thread is red. That's why I started this. And there's only like 2 7ms, the rest are 1jzs. Nothing wrong with other engines, but seeing some dirty 7ms would be nice. Looking good so far, keep them coming.

My car was planned to be themed black/blue/white. I just got rid of my white wheels, and not much else is white. My engine bay looks like ass and its time to start cleaning/painting crap. I'd like to see some engine bays on black/dark blue cars only. I"m trying to get an idea of what I like...

Well I just dynoed last weekend but my numbers weren't worth scanning. Sadly 18psi only gave me 10 more hp than 15psi and ran too lean for my liking, and anything over that = fuel cut. Here's my old sheets at 15psi, this was 2hp and 1ftlb less than my newest. Upgraded CT-26, Lexus AFM, stock...

Just make sure the surfaces are clean, no sealant necessary. Torque to specs.

To the leftmost is Jason (dirtlord420). Hehe I'm glad you walked into the danger zone to get a picture of my engine bay :D. The engine looks less like ass in that picture than real life too, so thanks for that. I didn't know you could play golf during the coldest weeks of the year. More of a...

I believe Aaron at driftmotion sells a helicoil kit to replace with stock studs. I fixed mine before these were available and just drilled/tapped holes for bigger studs. Aluminum is fun.

I replaced my valve cover gaskets 3 times. They never sealed right, I tried Toyota gaskets, gasket maker etc. Still leaked. I pulled them off again and had my dad look at it. He promptly showed me that the valve covers were warped and lifted up like 1/2" higher on one side. oops Another time I...

I forgot to ask, was anyone planning to go to TX2K7? Now that my car seems reliable I may go. I figure Jay will probably go, but anyone else know yet?

I meant to ask about that, your PCV setup seemed odd to me. Did it work fine just vented to atmosphere before? I've always needed to put vaccum on mine or it would start making my oil pan and or valve cover gaskets leak. Good to know there was a reason for all that smoke, sucks to rebuild though.

Yeah I wanted to go bring him my dyno sheet so he could have a copy. But then again I though that 3 more psi would bring me more than 10hp :<. I'll go ask him, honestly all I remeber him saying was that it was a hybrid.

I had a great time, nice to meet everyone for sure. I brought a camera but I forgot to take pictures of anything :<. We'll need to meet up when its warmer and get some group photos and whatnot. I love seeing suprahero's and vixen's car, they're so beautiful. Suprahero defintely made some good...

I didn't mention he made over 60hp than me :< shhh

Hey I think I put down more torque than Jay by like 10ft/lbs. :D You guys ended up going to the track? I hung around to watch flightdoc dyno and the skyline. I was too afraid of my bald wheels to try and drag. Hmmm I should probably post all this in the alabama meet thread.

I forgot you guys were doing his interior. I was going to re-clear my hood these past few days but everytime we try and spray something the paint seperates. How are you painting in the cold? Jay isn't letting you spray in the house is he?

Alabama represent! Seriosuly though, there's no way I'm going to mess with water outdoors.

9AM so early :< . If its warm enough tomorrow the car may get a wash, but thats looking unlikely. Just make sure whoever posts pics of the meet is good in photoshop. That way we can make the cars look pretty and shiny :D. What are you working on tomorrow? I have an off day and may find myself...

Phew I'm safe then. Mine's the ugliest 350rwhp (hopefully 400!) you will ever see.

I hadn't seen you post in a while, some of us are getting together at Walker's this Saturday. You should come by. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35133 I believe many people still run the stock rods and make 500-600hp without a problem. You may want to have them shot-peened...

Works for me, haven't smelled gas ever and doesn't pressurize the tank.
