Welcome to the club :P

I like the way you think, Adam! 1- Brakes (nice and big) 2- Suspension (not just a drop) 3- Renew/build the engine (any engine) 4- Standalone (Control is a good thing) 5- Grippy tires (rims optional)

During Powercruise I stirred up crap from the block and it blocked a good percentage of the radiator tubes. Shut it down for almost the entire last day to keep damage from being too bad. Flushed the cooling system out and watched like a hawk for bubbles but saw none. Its been running since then...

240 was the hottest I've logged it as being, but who knows what it actually was inside.

There are a lot of things that may/may not have played a part in the failure- even the RA of the block/head may have been inadaquate for a perfect seal with the mhg. We'll see when it comes apart. Heck it could be something freaky too, like a cracked head!

:biglaugh: I'm kind interested to see if the pistons have taken any damage the whole time its been together! I mean, the tune with Shane was safe at 17-18 psi, and when I got the big turbo, it did 20 out of the box without knock control/a proper tune... Kind excited to tear it down and see stuff...

That's what it looks like right now, more testing tonight- could even be a cracked head/block. Gauge didn't show the temp increase, too much air getting pushed through the system. We shall see!

So apparantly the limit of my Cometic 2mm was 564hp... That, or the blockage of the radiator did more damage than was initially thought. Oh well, just gotta take 'er down and find out what happened! Good time for headwork ;)

^ This FTW.

Finally got off my duff and finished adding stuff into the movie- just a hair over twice the runtime :D

Got the latest issue last night and was surprised to see a pic of a black supra's Engine bay! Just wondering if its anyone on here!

Good stuff! Welcome to SM, you'll find plenty of useful information to help you along your way! You might also find some local Supra guys, too ;)

Pictures time, gather 'round kids ;) Old RBJ Driveshaft= dead(ish) made a real odd harmonic at ~45-75 New Jawsgear AL: sexytime and light! New transmission: still in packaging Driveshaft is in and works fine. Nothing crazy about operation aside from slightly increased driveline noise on...

The new driveshaft and transmission have arrived :D

There's a difference?/?!?!!11on?e!

these are good... Best one I've had recently would be at the drag strip as well. "Well over in the Coca-cola lane is a...well...it looks kinda like a 280z. Yep, that Nissan Z-car there is going up against a Mitsubitchy MR-2 in the Lucas Lane. Should be a good race!"

Wrong car, look at the white 86.5-88 one hiding behind the telephone pole, 13.25-13.75sec.

It just kinda chills, open to atmosphere.

The hard starting in the cold has to do with the low volatility of the Ethanol content. Up here in MN we switch to E-70 during the winter to ensure ease of starting, and OEM's have to install alcohol concentration monitoring equipment to deal with the fluxuations. That said, I love my E-85 and...

:cry: You are missing out on so much. (likely a good thing, keeps stuff from breaking)
