    Help a newbie understand: The difference's in clutches

    That's why I said "typically". You lose a lot of the benefits of a true race clutch by adding a sprung hub.

    Help a newbie understand: The difference's in clutches

    Glad to help. You've got it. There are a lot of people who use racing clutches on the street. If you're making really big horsepower, sometimes it's the only option. But your driveablity suffers greatly unless you go down the very expensive clutch route. I believe they are talking about...

    permatex red strong enough for flywheel bolts?

    Supra's are metric... You won't find a single SAE bolt on a Supra. Your hardware store guys are idiots.

    Help a newbie understand: The difference's in clutches

    Puck clutches are typically solid hubs because strength is the primary concern and smooth clutch engagement is not a factor. They are designed for racing use, remember that. They tend to clamp faster and harder due to the design. On the street they typically have lower lifespan and act like an...

    1990 MKIII Brand New 92KM fully loaded!

    Because anyone with the financial sense to have $50K available also has the financial sense to know this car isn't worth it... It's beautiful, I had a red 92 Turbo that looked exactly like it, and I'd love to have it again, but not for that kind of money...

    will a newer w58 fit

    I've tried this - the problem you run into is to get everything to mount up correctly, you have to swap out the tail housing -- that's when you find out that the bearing sizes are different between the MKIII W58 and the MKIV W58. I've tried it - it's not worth the grief that you have to go...

    Reason for BHG on 7M's a design flaw?

    The reason for the failures was determined long ago (around 1995) by Reg Reimer: The factory original head bolt torque value of 52 lb-ft to 58 lb-ft is potentially too low to keep the bolts in tension and the head tightly sealed against the block. After many thermal cycling of the engine...

    Strange way to total a car...

    It was parked sideways on a part of his driveway that is at a very steep incline. Appears that the door jams filled up and it leaked in.

    Am I a minority?

    Some of us do wave. And quite a lot of us were modifying MKIII's while a some of you were still in diapers. There's nothing productive about this little pity party your carrying on here. Get over it. There are assholes and nice guys in every group of car owners. Just ignore the assholes.

    2010 MKIII Supra Calendar - ON SALE NOW!

    I'm just guessing, but I suspect that her creative talent has been a large success factor in past calendars, and that Tanya is running a business, albeit a small one, but a business. Not everything has to be a "group effort"... ;) Considering that this thread has been up since 6/1/2009...

    these rims?

    Heh. I pay well over that just to buy my tires. Like Poodles said, what tires are coming with those?

    Charging system mod ?

    Unless your starting out your race with a dead battery, the altenator isn't going to put much load on the enigine at all. Also, the one time when you need 110% of your electrical system is at WOT. Coil packs need that juice. On the drag cars with no alternator we run an 18 volt racing...

    Cleaning cylinder walls before assembly

    I just deleted all of the hostile flamewar bullshit from this thread. I'm going to be very clear here: Starting a flame war in the tech sections will get you banned. Tone it down folks. Get back on topic.
