    Driving in the cold

    lol. Check the heater valve. Seems to be a good place to start. There's a way to tie the valve open so that water/coolant flows through the heater core constantly, if it's not plugged up. And put a thermostat in it(stock is 195, iirc.). The motor won't reach operating temp. correctly...

    Cloverfield goodness

    "...2 Girls 1 Cup if Rhea Perlman and Edith Bunker were the girls)" That was wrong, plain, unadulterated WRONG. I did laugh pretty hard though. Good review, I'm gonna have to go see it this weekend.

    What are your pet peeves?

    Stupidity. Not the temporary kind; even I fall prey to that sometimes. The permanent, "I'm to lazy to educate myself" kind. Illiteracy. I understand that a certain few have an actual problem. It's the rest of those run on sentence writing, misspelling, no punctuation using people, who...

    The "Weird Things You've Found In Your Car That Aren't Yours" thread...

    My own car: Usual crap. Change, french fries, a shirt, lots of dirt, and the previous owner's work id. I used to work at a used car lot, and about 6 wks. after a car was repo'd, I got the "privilege" of cleaning them out. I swear, people are the most disgusting animals on earth. Anything...

    One more question.

    http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/price/Toyota/Supra_86-92/Apexi/Intakes/Air_Filters All you need for either the n/a or the turbo afm is the adapter. Hpf has them as well. I bought a universal metal one from A.Z. for around $20 for my n/a.

    Ok Great way to start off the new years, I know something just broke.

    No, I don't believe the trans. mount will effect the master cylinder. The master cylinder is bolted to the firewall, and has a rod coming out of it that connects to the clutch pedal assembly. There is a steel line that runs down the firewall, and next to the frame. From there over to the...

    Check this coolant reservoir tank out...

    Hmmm.... I think PowerTrip would make a custom exhaust mani. on request? Wasn't cheap, but came with a lifetime warranty, iirc. Maybe he'll see this and chime in.

    200RWHP

    Queenskid: If the motor was built with all forged internals, you could attempt the infamous n/a->T. Get all the necessary parts from someone parting out a turbo car, and bolt them on your motor. Just an idea. There are a lot of good and bad points to doing this, and it will take a good bit...

    Ok Great way to start off the new years, I know something just broke.

    lol, hydraulic clutch, not cable operated. Queenskid: Look up under the dash, there's a pedal adjustment screw, and a clutch switch. Make sure the adj. screw isn't bent. Could be the shaft for the master cylinder got hung up as well, or maybe the pin that holds it in place. Sounds like...

    Really cool cop, What the wierdiest once in a lifetime story you guys have?

    lol, Suprahero, that cop prolly figured you'd kill yourself before you were able to pay the ticket, so why waste the paper. Oh yeah, and holy CRAP are you lucky. I'd of been off in cuffs, car impounded, and the cop pissed off and reading me the riot act. I've already had that happen, and...

    Really cool cop, What the wierdiest once in a lifetime story you guys have?

    Something bad not happening in Queens with cops all over it would be a Dunkin Donuts sale.... I lived in Weehawken, N.J. for a while. Used to drive my Mkii into the city to work all the time(was doing carpentry work then, pita to lug tools through the subway). Was driving home on 32nd or...

    NO POWER AT ALL?!?!?!?!??

    Smoke testing will tell you where the vacuum leak is, if there is one. A vacuum gauge will tell you if there's a leak. There could be numerous other problems, as well. Timing could be off still, fuel delivery problems, air delivery problems, weak spark, etc. You could have put low...

    NO POWER AT ALL?!?!?!?!??

    Who did the work on this car? Just curious... 5th is for cruising, not power. You should downshift to speed up anyway. How's it pull in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd? If I want to move faster, go up a hill, or pass, I'll downshift to third(at 50mph). On the highway, at 65-70, I'm cruising in 5th, I'll...
