    I remember watching this guy with my dad back in the 80's. My dad would put this on and I'd go "Why the hell are we watching this?!?!" He'd say "I just want to see if this idiot blows a gasket on TV tonight." After a while we would place bets on whether or not he'd have a speed & steroid...

    ebay wildwood brake kit

    Nice moderation. By page two it turns into a shit throwing contest. If I wanted to deal with that, I'd be the guy who cleans out the monkey cage at the Atlanta Zoo... One question - do the two pads stacked together equal more than the thickness of the rotor? If so, will the parts that hang...

    Another one bites the dust

    It's been cut. I saw it quite a few times when I was an EMT. I'd be surprised if she lived through it.

    Brakes are one thing you should never compromise or "take a chance" on. Go with the ARZ kit, it's tested and backed by a real vendor here on SM. http://www.supramania.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=114

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    Ballistics start going south out there beyond that. It's not a matter of accuracy. It's a matter of lost energy. At 600 yards the .308 has dropped down to under 1,200 ft/lbs, for comparison, the .338 still has 2,800 ft/lbs at the same range... I may be practicing against paper but the...

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    6" group at 600 yards with the .308 is easy even on a bad day. The .338 is for everything beyond that range wise. All it takes is good firearm, good ammo, good technique and practice, practice, practice...

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    .45 ACP for my daily carry and self defense. Reasoning: Subsonic, less chance of overpenetration, large wound cavity. Daily Carry - Taurus PT-945 .308 for long range/general purpose. Reasoning: The .308 is easy to find. Has excellent ballistics and has won more bench rest competitions than...

    Another cop with authority

    I'm well aware of the fact that I can do so. However when it's obvious someone comes into a thread like this and makes ridiculious statement due to the fact they didn't read the source material, I feel they deserve it. The fact that you state you "will not read the article" means you're being...

    Adjustable Lowering coilovers, too good to be true?

    This is a coilover: This is a coilover: This is a joke: Shocks/struts have to match the spring rate, and it all has to be tuned to the weight of the vehicle and the surfaces it will drive on. You're better off rolling stock, or running eibachs & bilstiens over that junk.

    And it doesn't apply when your mother is already in the hospital dying and you are simply trying to get there to see her before she goes... And some self important cockbite keeps you on the side of the road for 20 minutes, seemingly just to prove to you he can stuff his brass badge encased dick...

    Is this a Supra part ?

    They are from a small block GM motor produced between 1955 and 1996. Specifically they are part of the rocker arm setup from a single cam pushrod design: They are not part of your Supra. This shows a lack of attention to detail at your machine shot and I'd be careful about using them again. I...

    My friend Arthur runs DynoLab in Marietta, GA. (shameless plug) He's been in business since 98 and has never had a "dyno accident". He's the one that taught me to run a dyno, I've spent hundreds of hours operating his, have run some huge events on one (example: The F-Body Gathering) and I've...

    I drove home from TX2K2 like that with broken valves in #1 and a cracked ring... 800+ miles. 7M has always gotten me home. :)

    who here stands by the 7m and have 350+ hp reliably

    Agreed. You've forgotten the one major difference. A nearly square bore to stroke ratio on the 2JZ, and a shorter stroke to bore ratio on the 1JZ. These features make both motors better suited to high revs and more forgiving of the occasional bang off the rev limiter. But the tradeoff is you...

    My Motor Carnage pics!!!

    Motor oil contamination in the combustion chamber will cause detonation, but not a lean burn condition. Considering the level of damage in your photos, I'm not at all surprised oil control went to shit after the damage was done. However I strongly doubt that this condition existed before the...
