That's pretty sweet sounding of a setup, and the Mk2 is a fun car to slide around (mine is the winter DD on occasion), but I have one suggestion: Make sure you run more oil than what the owner manual says to run. 6.5 quarts should be about right, as a base level. Add accordingly for additions...

I would check the dyno/racing section. There are a few people in there doing similar things, that might be willing to share their experiences. As for my only real point I can add, if you're going to be launching like that, and given the setup in the sig... you're going to need a cage sooner...

Without a doubt. In no universe should a 2.0 ever be attempting to move a car that weighs more than 3000 lbs... OP, from everything I've come across over the years, you're pretty much on your own. IJ looked into the matter much more seriously than I did (at least I'm pretty sure he did), and...

Dammit Mario, you crapped on my Mayhem Festival 2012 thread with that same video... :p

Are you talking the cross brace that goes between the rear suspension towers? If so, there are a couple methods I'd suggest: -Wires bent into hooks. -Alternatively, and probably the better idea, a small vacuum that can reach down into there. You'd be surprised (even at this point) of some of...

I always looked at the DSM as the Camaro to the Civic/Integra's Mustang of the import world. Common, cheap, often trashy, occasionally beautiful, with their occasional flaws, but by God, if you can't make one faster than the dollar's depreciation... you're doing something wrong. Also, just...

As do I, but small displacement, high cylinder engines tend to not meet current emissions regulations. Need torque anymore... Not to take this too far into political territory, but the CAFE regulations that are being proposed would make a car like this unfeasible, to say the least. As for the...

Sounds nice man. As for the "old crowd" at car shows, it's not their car, why concern themselves with it? I'm sticking a 1uz into a 40's Chevy, how do you think THAT crowd is going to react? Honestly, don't care, it's 1000x better than the stock engine ever would have been for my intended purpose.

Kelson, I say this in the most sincere way possible: You suck. That is all. :p Just kidding man, I am a little envious for sure. Was planning on going from the first I heard about it even happening, but when it came time to planning the financials of it all, it would have cost my girlfriend...

Or (like I mentioned in another thread), the Marlin Crawler adapter. I believe that it is exactly for this purpose. ...unless I'm backwards here, and that is for a mechanical trans -> electric speedo gauge. If you're unable to find/fabricate an adapter, and MUST know your speed (but aren't...

Never been in a car with one. Does it hold a gear until you hit the button to upshift then? Always found driving like that easier for hills, slowing down for an anticipated stop, cooling the engine off, etc... Very much prefer having complete control over the trans. I'm starting to think the...

::popcorn:: I love this thread... I take it your intention behind the dry sump was to mount the engine a few inches lower? Was pricing out a new Corvette the other day (just for fun really), and noticed that you can get the LS3 (as well as the LS7 in the Z06) with a dry sump system, thought...

Even stock, they were quite capable enough to run that needle most (if not all) of the way around to the end of the speedo. I had mine topped in 4th at 150 with the windows down in no time at all. With the setup I'm putting together, I'm sure I could probably run 5th out too. ...not that I'd...

For a guy in Vegas, that's about as useful as a Miata in Alaska. :p Good trucks to go camping with though... I can see that for sure. I used to be absolutely paranoid about my first Supra getting hurt. Maybe it's because I'm older now, maybe it's because the current Supra is kinda a heap, but...

No kidding... I've torn apart plenty of these cars, and don't think I've ever seen that piece. Explains that particular shape hole that looks like something should be there haha. Just had an idea. Someone needs to replicate all these plastic pieces for us. Doesn't need to be carbon fiber, just...

Good advice here. You only have one life in real life guys. You also won't truly appreciate your body until it doesn't work like it once did either. ;) I may do a full cage on whatever "fun" car I decide on next. Just for shits 'n giggles, to drive a CAR around on the streets around town... in...

Any luck on that info yet? Would be pretty awesome to have something easily modified to work. Normally I'm not crazy about power steering, but considering the rubber up front I'll be running, it will be appreciated. As for the lathe, I find that with every new tool I buy, I end up finding a use...

I was planning on running the Denso MkIV OEM pump in tank and something like the 044 on the line outside the tank. Figure way too much fuel capacity is better than not enough...

Sarona the one that had the OEM style 3-piece wing? I seem to recall that kit, but not quite sure. Ahh, wait a minute... http://www.andysautosport.com/toyota/1986_1992_supra/exterior/body_kits/sarona/saro00129709.html Not sure about the vendor (or the kit itself seeing all two pics of it), but...

Well that sucks... I guess find a better condition head to start with this time? Really sucks considering the time that goes into a good porting job...
