    cressida front end on a supra...

    MKIII front on the MKIV just doesn't flow. It's what happens when a box gets sucked into a whirlpool of newschool, bubbly doom.

    Better Sound : 7M, 1J, or 2J?

    That's not too far off from my next setup. (sitting here waiting to go on my next motor) Greddy tubular manifold, HKS 50mm wastegate (authentic;)), 3.5" v-band downpipe. :) Will be mated with a GT35r. I can't wait to hear that!

    7mgte swap with w58

    I was pushing around 300rwhp/ 300rwtq through mine for a while, with a very, VERY heavy right foot. Upgraded clutch, and lightweight flywheel, and it was still holding like a champ. :) 400rwhp seems to be the golden mark, but if you drive like a grandma, it'll last you forever. I romp on mine...

    Gaskets for HKS Downpipe

    Considering the HKS downpipe uses the stock elbow, (or aftermarket equivalent), one would assume that it uses a stock style gasket on both ends. ;) And I would also assume that since Nick stated the exact same thing, I would trust his word because he HAS an HKS downpipe. :)

    DIS4 Digital users (How much boost with 2step?)

    Awesome. :) I wonder if the DIS4 + would work with tooquick's C.O.P. setup... I'll have to dive into that if I get some time. :)

    DIS4 Digital users (How much boost with 2step?)

    That's awesome, Brent. That car sounds nasty. :) I love it. I haven't even thought about wiring in the DIS4, yet. Aside from the brittle wiring, I was hoping it wouldn't be too bad. However, I enjoy wiring on my car, so even if it's terrible, I'll likely enjoy it. Haha. Nice work.

    smack talk

    Hey, Chris. Are YOU happy with your car? Yes? /thread. ;) But seriously, I don't give a damn what anyone says about my car. I'm building it for ME, and me alone. People will always hate on others. Just ignore it. I've found that's the best route. :) Congrats on the wins! (and 12.50 isn't bad...

    That's fun. I just did the timing chain set (gears, tensioner, chain, and guides) when I replaced my headgasket. :)

    The Luxocruiser 3650 lb sled thread

    You're off to a great start, Nick. :) You're going to love the power increase from simply adding a downpipe. I know you've already got all the exhaust stuff worked out, but something that doesn't bottleneck near the flex sections would be better. (Not that you don't already know that, but just...

    Hahah, yeah, I just wrote a cheesy little poem to lighten the mood. :)

    Well, cheap people ARE everywhere!

    Haha, yeah. Honestly, things like that make me wonder why I even try sometimes. If it weren't for the enjoyment I get out of my vehicles, I wouldn't even bother...

    They are... relatively... I just did the headgasket on mine, and while I was in there, I also did the Timing set. Ready to go for another 150k. Most people don't have that problem, it's just that I think the P.O. neglected this thing.
