Lol. My car sat for at least 2 years while I pieced it back together(front end damage, bhg). I have an 87 n/a hardtop, and love it. Still a lot of fun to drive. As a matter of fact, I've had much faster cars that where way LESS fun to drive. Keep the Supra, get it running good, and drive it...

Wow, that's a long way into the future. Can you tell me next week's lotto numbers?:biglaugh:

Actually, I have a related tech question: Is the cut from a cbn(?) mill good enough on the block and head, or will it still have to be lapped? I know that the old grind stone cutter used by some out dated shops is a pretty rough cut, but the cbn(?) has a really smooth, almost mirror, finish.

O'Rielly's and such will carry a seal kit. Usually Timken. Check the timing belt, and make sure it hasn't become saturated with oil. It will start breaking down rapidly if it is. It's not the worst job, but not the easiest, either. Follow the TSRM for replacing a timing belt, and you'll...

A real racing seat will be FIA certified. The trick to seats is actually sitting in them. I'm 5'10", 135lbs. A seat I think is comfortable, fits good, and holds me securely would be very uncomfortable to someone 6'2", 260lbs. The certified seats are gonna be expensive. I'd stick with a name...

^^ Good guess. I'd have the alt. and battery tested.

You can buy mandrel bent 3" inter cooler piping and silicone couplers from DriftMotion, Horsepowerfreaks, and misc. other vendors. Get the correct angles, cut them to fit, drill a hole for the vacuum line after the AFM for the power steering idle up, install a grommet, and done. It's pretty...

I don't know, but it sure is heavy. Swapped to the open diff out of my parts car so I can rebuild my lsd. Used a trans. jack to get it up in the car.

I could of swore that Top Fuel dragsters run 900 + c.i., supercharged, and use 4 gallons of fuel from start-up for the burn out to shut down at the end of the 1/4. I also recall a guy was running a motor 1/2 the size, turbo charged and carb'd., and no one could catch him at the time. Think it...

The stock ('06)Ford sensors clamp in the center of the wheel as well. I had them removed from the wheels I have now. They used a big band clamp, and the sensor was glued in place as well. I see what you mean about the sensors on the PP, they're .6 oz. each, and do look a bit bulky. I just...

Although I don't use a tire monitoring system, I'd prefer the PressurePro over any of the others. I don't like how the sensors are mounted on the stem inside the rim on most of the others. To close to the edge of the rim, and I'd be concerned about a flat ripping it off. You'd have to get...

I had a slight issue with sidewall flex on my current tires(245/45/17). I bumped the pressure up to 40 psi (from 32) and it seems to handle better. If I had better quality tires, it probably wouldn't be an issue. Using "Triangle Talon," an off name brand tire. They suck. I have traction...

Wrecker it to a local shop with an oil system cleaning machine. Push the car in on their lift, and have them run a full oiling system flush. That should get rid of the coolant. Do a coolant pressure test, and fix all your coolant leaks. Fix all your oil leaks as well. Mark your containers...

Best of luck.

Turbo the ls1.

Other's above have stated the truth, to the best of everyone's guesstimate. You can do a block test to check for bhg, but I really wouldn't want to drive the car, or run it for any longer than it takes to do the block test. I don't know how the coolant and oil systems are run in the turbo, so...

I let my car run until it comes off high idle. Usually around 3 to 5 mins., depending on the weather.

A constant oil leak. Small, but annoying. Ask me how I know...

O'rielly's carries(or can order) a complete injector seal kit. $3 each injector, iirc I've had them in my car for over 2 years now, with no signs of cracking or failing.

Sounds like a fuel or timing issue to me. Where your injectors cleaned or rebuilt? What is your timing set at? Adjustable fuel pressure regulator, or stock? As far as the code 14(ignitor and coil circuit, ignitor and coil, ecu), I think I recall seeing something about a ground inside the...
