    a little help

    That is a turbo for a 1987 - 1990 2 liter 3S-GTE Celica Turbo AWD. That is not a turbo for a Supra. It looks like a legitimate brand new turbo, but it's not the one you are looking for. Toyota sold several different cars with a turbo called a CT-26, and all of the turbos are different. I have...

    Is this a scam?

    If everything in the ad is true, that's a legitimate car. The price is about right too. IJM MKIV's are pretty damned sexy.

    Rod knock?

    Fixed that for ya... Nitrous Oxide (not NOS) can be used safely with the right tune and an engine in tip top condition. Because of the way Nitrous makes power, it puts far more stress on the internals than boost induced power. By the way, at my local dyno shop, Nitrous Oxide refils are...

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

    380 at the wheels - daily driver - 190,000+ miles on the motor. There's nothing unreliable about the 7M that can't be fixed. MHG - the right tune - an owner with a 1/2 ounce of common sense and the financial ability to afford the car is all it takes. I've said it 100 times, the weak link in...

    Oh, by the way, click on their "buy now link" and you'll get the following (emphasis mine): "We are a for-profit Florida Corporation. We are promoting awareness of animal abuse and our donations to these four established charities will be used as the individual organizations choose." In other...

    Kitty :'(

    When a mother cat carries a kitten, she pinches the neck. Now, try this experiment at home: Pinch your own cheek about has hard as you'd have to in order to hold a kitten by the scruff of the neck. Wow, not painful huh? Next, drive a large gauge big game fish fishhook through your...

    Kitty :'(

    Guys. Please. Kittens in a bait bucket? Are you seriously buying this crap? If you got to the website, the first organization that gets a portion of the profits is PETA. That in and of itself should get you to question this. PETA has proven themselves to be a completely unethical organization...

    Thanks folks. 41 years and counting. ;) And yes, Theresa has made me an awesome breakfast, which I am now going to go eat.

    R154 Tranny Install Help (I'm desperate!!!)

    It's just generally a bitch. Sometimes takes some serious muscling around to get it in there. Do some twisting (rotationally) from left to right. Having a 3' long extension and an electric impact gun helps a lot to get to the bolts. Thought of what guys? Share the knowledge so the next...

    Whats the highest boost on Lexus/550 set up?

    Eric Varah, the car I was mentioning is the car referenced on MKIITech. Eric put a lot of hard work, tons of money, and a lot of heartache into that car. (I know, Will Neely and I helped him build it... Eric's wife Kelly really started to hate us and our 2am - 3am engine building sessions...)

    Whats the highest boost on Lexus/550 set up?

    Guys, remember that scaling the AFM has effects on the timing tables too. An AFC (or similar piggyback) is good for moderate horsepower increases. When you're getting up toward 20psi, it's time to look into a standalone, etc. I'm not saying it can't be done, it has, and successfully as well...

    Whats the highest boost on Lexus/550 set up?

    You're probably going to be well out of the efficiency range of that turbo at 20 psi. With the right tuning you can get 20 psi out of one of those, but it's not efficient and the turbo likely won't last very long.

    Men, Women & children making and selling guns 24/7

    While there have been cases of our planes getting shot down, they are incredibly rare. We've clearly got air superiority over all other military forces. But planes do not win wars. Troops on the ground do. Planes support them. But we aren't waging a war in the Middle East. We're engaging in a...

    Rod knock?

    It's a matter of octane. For 93, that's about the upper limit. On race fuel you can go as high as you like provided you use the right fuels.

    Pay attention while you drive

    Disturbing and brutal. However, that video wasn't about "speeding" - it was about reckless driving - there's a large difference.

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    Ours is similar. Me with a Taurus PT-945 firing .45 ACP with 230 Grain Speer Gold Dot JHP's. Theresa with a Beretta Cheetah firing .380 ACP with 90 Grain Speer Gold Dot JHP's. That plus two Akita's. :) Woe to the idiot who walks into our house uninvited...

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    We used to think like that. Still do in some places, but not in others. It's primarily the overcrowded coastal cities that latch on to the illogical and ineffective liberal gun grabbing bullshit. It's truly amazing too, because the statistics universally show: Crime goes down when guns are...
