    Strut tower bar Q?

    I have a strut bar as well, but reading what some other people have said, I really dont think a strut bar will actually make much difference, if any at all. You see Supras dont have struts...they have shocks. The top of the shock mount has very little stress on it, at least not stresses that a...

    Hello 911? I'm a dumbass....

    just so you dont take this wrong, this is not a personal attack...I just love a good discussion! You have to be kidding! Let me get this straight, if Im sober and I speed on an open road (perpetrating a tminor traffic offence which btw is less than a misdemeanor) and some idiot pulls out in...

    not a racer, but thought I would share

    no one Joe, you took ME wrong...I said I was pretty sure you were kidding, and it wasnt a personal thing. Something just came over me to write that. I kinda just wanted to sum up how I feel about personal choices. I think alot of us here at SM are passionate about our cars regardless of how they...

    not a racer, but thought I would share

    Im pretty sure you're just joking but here is my responce anyway.... Bite me! and another thing, what makes being turbo so special? anyone with a gas pedal and a right foot can make a car go faster, but knowing what your doing (in my case knowing when not to race takes far more skill...

    I got my AA at Pima in what they call Digital Arts/Filmography...then got my BA at UofA in Media Arts...worked the local film industry for a little while, but there just wasnt enough work to be had, so I kinda made the jump to computers.

    May have narrowed down the clunking.

    might sound odd but did you check the bolts on the tranny crossdresser....err I mean crossmember? oddly enough mine were loose on my car when I bought it. also can you pinpoint the direction of the sound? meaning more from say, the back of the engine/front of the tranny...or more center, or...

    Bad Jokes? OH SNAP!

    I'll stick to the safe lame material... A piece of string goes into a bar and says to the bartender "Hey bartender, let me have a beer". the bartender says "we dont serve string in this bar, you'll have to leave!" So the peice of string walks outside, frizzes up his hair, and ties himself...

    A couple of nights ago I'm coming back from the video store in downtown Corvallis, headed south on 4th toward hwy20 (for those of you familiar with Corvallis since I know some of you are.) This guy in a slightly lifted 4.0L cherokee is sitting to the right of me at the light, when the light...

    Even when your in neutral the friction of the oil on the gears will make the tailshaft move a little bit when you release the clutch. My money is on bad U-joints or carrier bearing

    which oil to use??

    "The Beanery" is still there on Monroe just inside campus. Schools out right now of course so they roll the streets up after 9pm. This year the whole downtown was one big party on the 4th...fireworks sucked like usual though...people watching was what it was all about. I grew up in the...

    which oil to use??

    cool thanks for that clarification, I think I will up my volume by 1 qt just for good measure (mainly because right now Im burning oil pretty bad. I have a pending rebuild coming up, but having some extra volume in there will give me a little momre leway regarding when I check and/or add oil)...

    which oil to use??

    Being nearly a complete noob on this subject, can you please verify this information for me? Running 1qt over has no negative consequences then as far as slosh, seal pressures, etc? Are you saying its pretty much an urban myth that overfilling your oil volume is bad and can cause problems?

    Hello 911? I'm a dumbass....

    wow, felony for that? Im definately not passing through Colorado on my way to TX this fall...lol as for the OP, thanks for being a stand up guy and reporting his ass. I will admit somewhat reluctantly that I have gotten behind the wheel when I was far too toasted to drive safely...
