    Exhaust manifold bolts

    It's highly unlikely that someone would forget to put 3 out of 7 studs in. But it's worth a shot. Chances are that they will strip before you get enough torque on them to fix the exhaust leak. If the leak has been there for a while then the gasket should probably be replaced but that requires...

    For all those that are 25 & older

    I felt exactly like that at 25. I only had my GED, and I couldn't stay in school long enough to get my AA even though all I had left was my gen ed classes to get my electrical engineering degree. I thought I could never EVER afford a house in CA and I even moved back in with my mom for 6 months...

    engine specs anybody?

    I don't know what that means but I laughed anyways! I forgot to mention the torque was 29ft/lbs on the muffler bearing bolts, with moly lube. <jk> I think he means the power output on both engines? 1jz was rated at 280hp, I think, but it can make 260-280whp stock. 7m-gte was rated at...

    Aaron's turbo & maft pro upgrades

    I figure if I keep my expectations low I will he happily surprised rather then disappointed. :icon_bigg Otherwise as far as the engine is concerned, head is stock with nice rebuild and I got Ross pistons with stock rods. Everything was fully balanced and blueprinted. ARP everything too. The...

    Aaron's turbo & maft pro upgrades

    It's coming together finally. The 50 trim ct26 was pretty much maxed out at 370whp, I could have possibly got a little more out of it but the pressure had to be way too high to make power. The new setup is going to be a Turbonetics 62-1 turbo and a maft pro. I just got my maft pro from Dr Jones...

    powder coated manifolds

    $200 for all four pieces. If I do another set maybe I can talk them into including the 3000 pipe. Also, this can be an exchange. You paypal me and ship yours, and I take a set to get done in the color of your choice so it is done and ready to ship by the time I receive yours in the mail.

    powder coated manifolds

    Of course, I would give them a deal. My comments were not directed at one particular person, but I thought I saw the direction this was going. Reading it again I see I maybe interpreted it wrong. My point was that I say "look at this, this is what I can do, and this is what I charge for it" and...

    powder coated manifolds

    Thats cool, then you should start your own thread. I'm offering it as a service, I didn't say I was the cheapest anywhere. If you want the aluminum without the clear then it would be the same price, but lets look at yours and mine in a year or two and yours will look faded.

    powder coated manifolds

    I can do a color like aluminum or ceramic coating. That would be a little more then a solid color like black or red. $200 is for valve covers and upper and lower intake manifolds. The price includes the cleaning, bead blasting, taping and coating. I can give you an exact price on the color you...

    Exhaust manifold stud upgrade

    These are I think grade 10, black finish but I can get plated ones for a few more dollars. Antiseize would be a great idea Suprageezer, I will include that in the kit too. aaron@driftmotion.com for the paypal. It will only take a few days to get everything together.

    Exhaust manifold stud upgrade

    Here are some of the items, everything in my kits for sale would be brand new. I don't have the custom drill bit to show you quite yet but it will work nice. The right angle drill attachment and tap holder are good tools for other projects also if you don't already have them.
