    Ky Suprameet??!!

    Aaron, you wouldn't even make it as far as L'burg. Dave was there to help me tune my SAFC (check out the dyno sheet sticky). It is about 6 miles off 64, you go through a SMALL town, and it's on the left just before you get away from the houses. In fact, it's a large garage behind a ranch...

    Dyno sheet thread

    Done today: 254 whp & 300 ft-lbs torque @ about 9.5 psi (boost controller sucks!). Mods listed below the pic. And here's a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HwhgTo2h4g CT26-57 * 3" MDC Turbo Elbow * 3" MDC Down Pipe * Bosch 110 BPV * Crappy Catback * ARP...

    Pretty Sure My Car Got Totalled...

    If you had completed a bill of sale, or at least if you could get the buyer to sign an affidavit that an agreement had been settled on for $7k with or without the Talon, wouldn't that say a lot of the real value of your car, specifically? I'm sure the insurance company would laugh it off, but...

    Who was the first person in space?

    I saw this vid on the Discovery Chanel once - very cool. And it reminds me of Clip's sig. :D

    Trouble with Brake Rotor Removal

    How about Brembo slotted rotors? I thought I saw them in the $200 - $250 range, and have assumed they are pretty good. It's what I was going to put on my Christmas list.

    best 7mgte head gasket??

    What are you giving up by using the basic HKS instead of the Stopper? For quadruple the price, I would expect the Stopper to take signficantly more to blow. I would think it comes down to boost and HP goals (i.e. 16 psi and 350 whp wouldn't require a Stopper, but 27 and 650 probably...

    JDM 7mgte

    I hate the JDM in my car. All of the nipples in the cooling system are corroded, and I had to fix a BHG soon after buying the car and that was after the previous owner installed new rod bearings. I was lucky enough to pick up the original engine in pieces and I've started a rebuild on it...

    Jaguar_5's 87 Turbo Build

    Holy shit Jag... After you posted up on my brand new build thread I had to check yours out, and all I can say is that you are right; I don't have a clue what I'm getting myself into. :aigo: I think I'm going to print your entire thread off and read it ten times over before I go any...

    Trouble with Brake Rotor Removal

    Poodles nailed it. Use a 12mm bolt in the two threaded holes in the rotor, and nothing else, except for maybe a little PB Blaster. I fought my rears for two hours, somebody suggested this, and I had them both off in 15 minutes.

    My Very Own 7MGTE Build - Will It Live?

    It might be a little early to consider paint, but I might get ambitious and start on my valve covers soon. I'm looking for color/paint scheme suggestions for the block & valve covers. Overall, I want something to compliment my car and make my engine bay look good. I have considered red and...

    My son!!!

    Congratulations! There is nothing in the world like becoming a dad, and it's the best thing to be proud of there is. Enjoy every single stage he goes through, because they are gone wayyy too fast. It's great to see the changes because every one of them means your life gets a little easier and...

    My Very Own 7MGTE Build - Will It Live?

    Wow, Jon - Thanks for the offer! :) I'd love to come up and hang for an evening, but only if it's something fun for you to do. If it's really not an imposition, I'll get everything together and plan an evening to do it. I know how busy you are with MDC and your new job, so if it's too much...

    You kill me. :biglaugh: The law can only use what is clearly written and documented to make a decision. If I granted you that it was indeed 'defective', and for the record, I do not grant you this because I have no basis for an opinion such as this - and neither do you, for that matter...

    Paint Ideas??

    I love the idea of a DARK color like that. Doing something different was important to me, too and I have no regrets! :)

    My Very Own 7MGTE Build - Will It Live?

    lol. The whole goal thing is 12 years of corporate brainwashing, and the only way I know how to get things done anymore. :icon_razz I'll try not to leave anybody disappointed with this thread or the way it turns out... especially me. :biglaugh:
