    oil pan bolt

    Yeah it's alot of work to do with the engine in the car. If I remeber it requires dropping half the suspension and jacking the motor up off the mounts.

    ABS question

    Just don't hook up the electronics and it should work fine. I base this on the fact that my ABS and all wiring was removed from my 5spd and the car hasn't exploded yet.

    cold air intake??

    Yeah. On my old NA I just bought a similar $5 adapter off ebay. I works fine if you have your own filter or CAI piping.

    fuel tank removal Walbro install...

    Theres a inverted square nut (sorry don't know technical name) on the bottom of the gas tank. Just put a 3/8" socket extention in there and turn it out. Prepare to be soaked in gasoline. My advice:Wear safety goggles when messing with the lines, I know this from experience.

    Calibrating electronic boost gauges?

    I've been wondering the same thing, I have an HKS peak hold gauge. I was messing around with buttons once and it zeroed out, but now its off again and I can't figure out how to re-calibrate it. If anyone knows how, let us know.

    Roomate snapped some photos

    Hehe I mentioned the car wasn't registered/insured yet. I've been trying to get a title for like 4 months now. The reason the front end doesn't look right is because the hood doesn't close even. I'll get that fixed soon though.

    Roomate snapped some photos

    My IC pipe takes up too much room right now, the air filter won't smash down anymore. I think of it as a hood scoop (except when it rains then I think of it as a pain in the ass).

    Tuscaloosa/Birmingham area Supra meet

    I really wanted to go but my front main is leaking really bad. There's no way they would let me run, I'd be spilling all over the track. Also the car still aint registered/insured.

    Waterfall sound!!!

    I had the sound after I fixed a radiator leak, burp your system for sure, might be as simple as air pockets. If your mechanically inclined a BHG isn't as big a deal as people make it sound probably a days worth of work. If you aren't then you probably should learn.

    timing light flashes different rates on different plug wires

    I've tried tracking down a miss the same way too. I had too much problems with the timing light picking up a constant signal so I gave up. You definetely get a bad reading if you don't hook the light up right next to the coilpack. This makes it really hard. Anyone have better plan for finding a...

    I heard a story (urban legend) of a guy who punctured a lung playing with a compressed spring.
