    Overheating Issue only under boost

    There are also a bunch of plastic blockers around the Rad with foam seals, most Mk3's are MIA, undertray is good for 3>5c at highway speeds, if your Rad/AC Condenser are blocked/damaged this could be enough to tip you over the edge, 3/4 on the stock gauge is DAMN hot!

    What would your 1st hand gun be?

    Much prefer an auto to a wheel gun, as the guys noted earlier in the thread it's all about finding the "right" gun and not buying something because it looks "cool"... And it takes practice to get "good" if you can't afford to shoot you'll never be good so expensive ammo is out unless you're...

    What would your 1st hand gun be?

    Shot a Super RH here at the range, the owner was a bit of a meathead and used to blast away at Chinese food containers scattered around the range, you only had to get within a few inches and the container jumped in the air carried up by the dirt.... I had broken my middle finger on my left...

    Clutch height and freeplay adjustment

    I always adjusted the height on mine so it engaged just off the floor then set the brake pedal to match, doing this the floor acts as a pedal stop so you don't overtravel the clutch and miss shifts

    Article: Original Supra reviews

    Stock brakes 2 stops for 200Kmh = no brakes... Flush and replace fluid and it got 4 stops before no brakes... They just don't have the Mass needed for repeated high speed stops and boil even the best fluid. My Mk4 DBA5000/4000 combination with the AP 4 spots and Motul fluid did 55...

    Supra engines, are they even-firing or odd-firing?
