    Cut springs?

    i wouldnt risk cutting springs. it'll mess with the handling of the car, and make it even worse, if you ask me. it's just unsafe, period. if you want to lower your car, do it properly. imagine you hit a panic situation where you NEED the car to react how it's supposed to, to steering input, but...

    How to shim the CT26 Wastegate?

    he's implying that the N/A cam GEARS are identical to the turbo cam GEARS. it's the INTAKE CAM that's different between turbo and N/A models. ;) -shaeff

    I finally drove today!

    congrats, will! :) i bought my car (which is kindof rusty, heh) my junior year in high school. i was 18 or 19 years old. i got made fun of alot, as my car is quite un-appealing to the eye, but after i did my turboswap, everyone shut their mouths, including the all-trac owner, gt owners, and the...

    question about rep points

    when a moderator/administrator gives you rep points, it counts for way more than if a regular member gives you reps. ;) so if you've received them from GrimJack, or Jeff Lange, or Supracentral, then you've struck gold, so to speak... -shaeff

    ok here is one of many supra problems

    i think you'd get more responses if you used punctuation. :) honestly, it's a bit hard to read the post, simply because it's one gigantic sentence! but, i had that same problem, and it turned out to be a dead short in my battery. i replaced the battery, reset the breaker in the driver's side...

    charcoal canister removal

    heh, but i'm already around 300rwhp or a bit more, and what better way to shave weight then to not fill your damn tank all the way? haha. (and i have a 4.3 differential, so it goes pretty good) anyway, back on topic: what i did when i removed mine was this- take out cannister, take off...

    How to shim the CT26 Wastegate?

    if you put too many on, the bolts won't go back in. (not long enough) put 4 on there, and if you want more, then put more on. i think 5 is about the max for the stock bolts. personally, i think you'd be better off just getting a MBC... they're cheap, and effective. dr. jonez makes a good...

    charcoal canister removal

    woah, there... calm down. i thought you were thinking out loud too. haha. actually, i thought it was kindof funny. :) anyway. my method probably isnt legal anywhere. i also never run over a half tank, for reasons i'm sure you all can figure out. ;) i used to have the steel line vented through...

    W58 ---> R154

    welcome:) off the top of my head, i think you'll need: the tranny, bellhousing, throw out bearing, pilot bearing (just because), clutch fork, front drive shaft, slave cylander, and the transmission support bracket that goes under the tailshaft, as well as the "wing" support brackets that...

    What shocks should I get? Please advise!!

    i'm running Koni yellows. they're $100 each. i have them set to full firm in the front, and full soft in the rear. i'm also running eibachs. (though i hate the eibachs with a passion) the ride is nice and stiff, but it lacks alot of what i'm looking for. if only i knew then what i know...
