I know how you feel, but Im on the West Coast and so while I am watching it in prime time, Im watching it tape delayed and therefore have to avoid this thread and others like it or it spoils the results for me. Last night I made the mistake of reading this thread and saw the womens gymnastics...

You arent listening Ive owned more cars in my lifetime than I am years old Good luck with this

Why? probably because they learned. Ive owned several businesses actually and have been self employed now going on 7 years. How many businesses have to get ripped off before people learn these valuable lessons? Cry all you want for Jap Works but I still think they are at least partially...

great news Steve! congrats!

wingless turbos FTW! Looks nice man. My buddy Tim is thrashing to get his put back together after paint as well and hopefully makes the show too. I will see it there Saturday.

I want those 2.5 minutes of my life back please :3d_frown:

I bet he can. Holy shit I would love to see that!

Ive seen several sunchasers for sale lately, but that one is in really nice shape. Of all the generations of celica that is my least favorite and only the liftback is uglier. Id own a minty one like that if I had a toyota museum.

looks to be a good mk2 turnout coming. I know Ive been putting in lots of hours the last few weeks getting ready.

I dont the think the TB is in any way directly responsible for the 41. As I said before you need to isolate where the problem lies, in the TPS itself or its wiring. As I suggested before you need to make sure the TPS is adjusted to spec. This means using feeler gauges and checking the...

awesome news sir! Its wierd how coils seem to go bad sitting around. I had the same problem with Lucy and the set of coils I got from a guy in TX had 2/3 good as well.

that fall from the rings was so wierd, my first reaction was "OMG, the ring broke!" it snapped out of his hand so fast. I felt bad for him too. Also felt bad for the german who fell from the high bar, but that frenchman seemed pretty happy with the surprise bronze. Gynastics new format and...

so youre thinking driftmotion would LET you do that in the first place? If you think Aaron is going to let you walk in the door and drop off the car and ask for 16k worth of motor swap/etc without getting some coin out of your pocket first you are mistaken. Its not about anyone WANTING a...

OK I read the last 20 pages or so that were posted today while I was working and I have to say the following: Someone posted that the kid ripped them off for $16k and I got to thinking...no he didnt. He doesnt have the car in his possession, they do. They ripped themselves off. If they were...

So ok..Michael Phelps is a friggin superstar. Here is a kid that showed up to these olympics with 6 gold medals already. Chasing records set by names like Carl Lewis and Mark Spitz and even "the Flying Fin" Phelps was already in an elite class coming into these games, but now he stands alone as...

maybe Im just naive but I dont see how people can suspect the shop owners of being involved from the start. Lacking in vision and common busines sense I can believe. Downright dirty dealing take everyone for a ride underhanded? I dont buy it. Not to mention if thats the case then they are all...

Yeah I see it now. That doesnt look good. Logic tells me whats happening is with the TPS unplugged the ECU is simply metering fuel based on the amount of air being drawn through the slightly cracked open TB. Then when you plug the TPS in the ECU is trying to set idle based on the...

well that doesnt rule out the possibility your air is coming from a warped manifold or post TB leak of some description. Take the TB off and hold it up to the light. There should be very little light if any cmoing from around the butterfly. EDIT: oic about the flange. I forgot this...

As I said Figgie, just more in his long paper trail of scamming. His reputation will preceed him forever but sadly I dont think thats enough to make him stop. In fact I bet it only fuels him to go to the next level as making an honest buck is going to be tough. I personally think some jail time...

Testing the TPS is not rocket science. There are two things you want to douple check. Are you throwing a TPS code? If so then either the TPS itself is bad, improperly adjusted, or the signals are not making it back to the ECU. Secondly, if you can actually adjust the TPS by using the proceedure...
