    I would have absolutely no problem with it. I already stated a long time ago that what I made is whats being made by me. Im done with it. If someone felt like going through the hassel of reproducing it only to find that there is no market for it, let em. Less than 25 were made total and even...

    The long Awaited SupraHero 1JayZ Build

    Oh, I didnt realize you had your dash painted blue before this. I can certainly see why you would want a change. Change the gauges back to Black then! :naughty: Naaaman I dont give a shit what you do, its your car....just get that frigging thing done in time to make TX and I will be a...

    Oh really? Toyota invented the wheel did they? The Automobile was invented by Toyota? It was "their idea" ? Well perhaps certain portions of it were their own and perhaps even unique, but it was cetainly far from being "their own idea". Nearly everything is based off something else. There are...

    Well, again you missed the point. If it werent for replication you wouldnt have that zoon DP. If it werent for replication none of us would be driving a Supra, We would all have hand made one off cars. I understand what you are saying, but I also believe you are being unrealistic. Mass...

    IC Pipes

    The air is moving so fast through the IC pipes there really is very little heat dissipation (or heat soak for that matter). Painting would not make any appreciable difference.

    just blew my 2nd headgasket = /

    Holy run on sentance Batman. The problem with people using MHG's is that they think the majority of blown gaskets come from erosion around the combustion chambers. Its really not the case. If you blow a head gasket at high pressure thats one thing. But starting your car in the morning only to...

    Well first of all, do you own a WeezLWing? no, didnt think so. I went through alot of trouble to make these available to other members of this forum. I can tell you that in the end when all is said and done, Im going to lose money on this. Part of the problem is that when I first started talking...

    Lucy - Im home!

    Code 34 is fuel cut. I was able to get rid of it by opening up the AFM a little (with the bypass screw adjustment). For the coupler you can just use a 3". its probably a little big but will clam down fine. I just used one of those ones you can get from Autozone. Im going to redo all my couplers...

    Lucy - Im home!

    Oh well definately if you have time, a mig, any kind of reasonable body work skills, and a spare hood you can do one of these yourself. If you dive into one let me know, I can give you a couple of hints. My work on Lucy is pretty much down to the major stuff so she gets a little less...

    The long Awaited SupraHero 1JayZ Build

    I dont know Jay, as much as I give you guys crap for being part of the blue man group, I have to admit that color blue is nice. So, I'm a little puzzled by the brushed stainless gauge bezel. Im not a huge fan of it. I think those only look good with black gauges. Your white gauges just dont look...

    Lucy's wierd startup issue - New info

    but you see thats just the thing. It used to leave me stranded, and now it doesnt, and the problem has to some extent gottem better on its own. Well ok maybe not better...but different, and now its manageable. In the next month Im upgrading AFM, injectors, headgasket, head bolts, exhaust and...

    Lucy's wierd startup issue - New info

    I know a surgeon and he looks at the human body that way. Replace the metal and plastic with bone and tissue. Obviously, (well to me anyway) people have a soul, but on the operating table he becomes detached from the fact that what he is working on is alive. Its a coping mechanism. I dont...

    Lucy's wierd startup issue - New info

    By this I mean that none of these problems have ever occured when the car is dead cold. It starts promptly when cold, and actually will start just fine with the CSI unplugged. I have also never experienced the "no crank" issue when cold. no as I just mentioned above, cold starts have never...

    Lucy's wierd startup issue - New info

    Thanks JJ I'm glad to see you back here, I always value your analytical approach to things. Here is the thing I think I need to reitterate though. 95% of the time the car starts normal when hot. 100% of the time it has ZERO symptoms cold. 100% of the time the car runs normal and makes...

    Lucy's wierd startup issue - New info

    no, I have not. Im not even sure I know how to. However, if memory serves correctly I do have a spare in my shell (just the switch part that goes behind the key cylinder) I suppose its worth a try, though I dont know how it would affect the starting so long as its turning over, but Im willing to...
