    Skeptical Supra guy

    opinions: 1. $1500 for a blown motor rust bucket? 92 or not that sounds a bit high and cuts deeply into your overall budget of $5000 2. If you can see rust...expect it to be 10 times worse once the whole car is revealed. Rust is like cockroaches, for every 1 you see there are 100 (or maybe...

    Electric fan problems, again...

    I too agree with the SM experts and suggest going with the stock mechanical fan. Its worked for years to do the job it was designed to do. That being said, and knowing Tucson weather and traffic, a helper fan (maybe a pusher?) or wiring your AC/Aux fans to a manual over-ride might be an idea...

    Speed's Completely Unspeedy 1JZ. 56k is so 1990's

    Tim why not run thos hump wires under the carpet. Its not hard to gey under the carpet there under the console, and then straight back and out under the rear seat. When I did my stereo wiring I ran power down the drivers side, signal down the middle and speakers down the passenger side. Also you...

    What in the hell have I gotten myself into?

    Ken I just spent the last few hours and read this thread from the beginning...my eyes are tired but here are a few thoughts.

    Speed's Completely Unspeedy 1JZ. 56k is so 1990's

    Those little corners where it seems to be missing something is because you are missing something. Factory there are plastic bins screwed to the floor that have masonite covers on them that lift out. They provide a base for your carpeting to sit on. Basically what you made is the same minus the...

    7mgte 1977 celica

    Yeah I saw that site but knew nothing about it so decided not to give my endorsement. CC.com will be a missed resourse, hopefully that new one does as good a job. The transdapt kit you want is the 1113, I also put a cooler inline with mine and longer hoses to reach up under the headlight, but...

    7mgte 1977 celica

    Yes, the transdapt oil filter relocation kit will take care of the clearence issue on that side most likely. May have to use 90 degree fittings to direct your hoses out and away the direction you need. The 7M into the RA29 chassis has been done enough times that there should be ample...

    Should I trade my turbo for a non turbo mkIII?

    sounds to me like you dont need a money pit or for that matter 2 cars and a bike. Keep the honda, sell the shell and put it towards paying off the bike. just my opinion

    how do you remove clearcoat on wheels??

    There are several threads already regarding this, search for "polishing sawblades" and I suspect you find all you need to know.

    I have a warrant out for me? I don't suppose we have any lawyers here....

    BlackSS, I am aware that Oregon and Florida are different, as are just about any two states. I was mearly trying to offer up my experience to a similiar situation in an effort to provide a little prespective (for what its worth kinda thing). The outcome for my situation was actually rather...
