    Supra Won't Hold Traction Now!

    This was my thought. Plus, less parasitic loss with the lighter components means more power ends up at the wheels, correct? I've ran those on the back for years now. Not going to say it is an end-all, stick-all, but it goes a long way to helping traction out, especially coming out of corners...

    Any way to protect rubber hose?

    Better than the alternative. I've worked in industries where people have 6 different names for one item. Worst part is, when they get pissed because you don't know their redneck term for something, and they think YOU are the dumb one... RTFM. That's all I have to say about nomenclature. ;) I'm...

    Aftermarket bumper that looks good?

    Pretty clever... may have to look into one of those if I start getting bothered about it like I used to... Well said sir. Personally I prefer the earlier bumper from an airflow perspective. Lot of air that could go through the radiator might just be passing up onto the hood of the 89+ bumper...

    Test run engine stand

    Air, fuel, spark? Sounds like you have all your ducks in a row to me... Really don't even need the radiator if it is just a test run, just don't run it too long. ;)

    Cracks me up...

    I blew a coupler on the 1j a couple times, and it was still driveable, but that was on a MAP system. The 7m is usually a MAF setup, and doesn't usually like to run if you take off (or unplug) the MAF sensor. How did you keep it running? :) I'm guessing the MAFT setup you talk about was maft-pro?

    That makes sense, I hadn't thought about fighting the wind like that. Glad you enjoyed the joke, horrible as it makes a guy feel. :p

    My 1977 7M-GTE CELICA! Finished! Test drive vid on page 18!

    So my eyes did not deceive me. That is a quick ass Mustang then! Don't see too many of them that fresh that are that fast...

    Anyone else playing The Secret World?

    Sorry to hear all that DT... I know how that can be, especially with dogs. They ARE family, all the way. As far as Secret World goes, I'll keep it in mind, but I can't remember the last time I played a game two days in a row, if only because I rarely find time for gaming in general anymore...

    Tell me more about GMC Typhoon...

    50 huh? Man... I would have thought you were older given all you've achieved. No offense man, you're barely old enough to be my dad. Wanna adopt a lovable kid? :naughty:

    Anyone notice this? And I wonder if the owner was a member here.

    After having actually lifted a car by the fuel lines (or rather, seeing a friend do it to his car), I'm with you on this one...

    Any way to protect rubber hose?

    What about the insulation you used for your AC lines?

    Removing that little Trim panel?

    Definitely not fun. IIRC, there are two 8mm nuts that you'll need a deep socket to reach. Good luck!

    another mk3 on craigslist.

    Err... did anyone notice he would take a Fiero GT as a trade? Odd...

    I was bored one sunday, then this happened. ( SUBWOOFERS in an MK3) Pics!!

    More of a "feel" thing than hearing that sound. ;)

    Need help...Opinions

    15's will fit provided you have a high enough offset to clear the stock brakes. Otherwise you're going to cause some interference issues...

    I would say leave them in favor of a full face helmet and backpack myself... And on that thought, do you think anyone will be riding an Indian on that trip?

    Anyone else playing The Secret World?

    Looks interesting, but I still have a problem with the ethics of playing a game when it is in the best interest of the people making it to drag out your experience as long as possible... plus I barely get in as much gaming as I would like to as it is, my back catalog is getting pretty tall. :p...

    My 1977 7M-GTE CELICA! Finished! Test drive vid on page 18!

    Kinda hard to tell, did that Mustang actually keep up with you? I fully expected you to leave him in the dust, even if you did leave a bit later...

    Decided to run without a shroud.

    Heh, look at this guy, good example. :p I'll admit though, I have a few more gray hairs every time I see posts like that... If not the smarts, then the TIME, Mr. 37,000 posts. ;) All this talk about mounts breaking or moving has me considering just keeping the solid mounts that are on...
