    What kind of power can a W58 handle?

    dr jonez has a heavy ass foot, was running a CM stage IV clutch (NOT street friendly) and was putting out about 400ish hp through the w58. from my knowledge, it wasnt rebuilt either, so it was probably high mileage. as long as you dont beat the piss out of it constantly, it can probably hold...

    MHG cometic

    AND, if you do everything correctly, you can go higher than that. its all in the tuning. you could run 400hp off a stock headgasket, as long as you make no mistakes in tuning the car. first sign of detonation, and you're looking at another HG.... take a good long look at bishop's car...

    Component speaker for the front...

    what year is your supra. (it makes a difference) i've got rockford 6.5's custom mounted in the front. they're the ones with the directional component in the center. it sounds pretty nice, and i dont have the need for real components. (separate from the woofer). so i'll stick with my current...

    Input on suspension overhaul plz!

    this is what i have. front koni's set on full firm, rears on full soft. i wish i'd gotten linear rate springs though... hell, i wish i had just gotten coilovers in the first place, but i REALLY needed shocks, and money was mad tight, so i went with this setup. it handles pretty well, i suppose...

    SOGI short shift mod

    i'll stand by my SOGI hack job forever. i love it. *technically* it does shorten the throw of your arm. think about it like a see saw. the outer parts move a greater distance than where the assembly is balanced. this is the same principle. -shaeff

    First and Last post - Supra Turbo got wrecked

    thats too bad, but it looks like you could find a donor car for the front left side. i wouldnt say it's totaled, though i havent seen it in person. hell, i'd buy that car, go to a boneyard and pick off the parts to make it complete again, give it a spray, and call it a day. i'd hope they...

    Brake lamp box failure? You tell me...???

    try this, it worked for me. these suckers are prone to getting corroded. they always get water in them from leaky old seals and whatnot. pull out the box, and pry it apart. put a dab of flux on each connection on the soldered side of the board, and heat it with a soldering iron until the...
