Good to hear you got it figured out. :) What sort of setup are you looking at running in your car (clutch wise) if you don't mind my asking?

I've never really had anyone talk crap (and be serious about it) after they've had a ride in it, or tried to race it... Frankly, the only cars I've ever really enjoyed as much as my Supras have been the NB Miata I had (makes for a grown up version of a go-kart!), and a buddy's FC Turbo II Rx7...

As in always drawing from the battery, or just wired how it is going to be all nice and presentable? Give it time sir. I wouldn't be surprised if my buddy Rich could pull a 7m out in less time than that. The joys of doing it for a living huh? :p

He may have used a product called Plastidip on the ugly metal trim... I've seen that done, it looks alright. :)

Haha, well played sir. It's (taste) all relative though. :) Chris, as for what I use to wash/wax the car, it just happened to be laying around. Turtle Wax Ice car wash (it's decent enough, and got it free at work, since my predecessor left it behind), and some Turtle Wax paste wax. Pain in the...

The molding on my 88 I had and the 87 I have are in much better shape than the 89 I drive now... but that probably just varies from car to car. Mines a heap when you get close enough. :p Correct. Shame too, they had a nice lineup of products for our cars, just couldn't be bothered to spend some...

I would say that a 3600lb curb weight is realistic, give or take 50 lbs. Given his ET/trap speed, I get the idea that he spun a bit off the launch... he ran both faster, and slower than I did: What was his 60' on that run? And the rear end gear?

Has anyone else been so lucky to go? I was at the show in Denver Sunday, and gotta say... SLIPKNOT. Holy sheeeeeet those guys are awesome live. Only band I've ever seen get a crowd that rowdy was Pantera. Seriously. If you get a chance, go see them. Rest of the bands were alright, but we...

Finally got to check one out the other day, and I will say this much about them: -Most comfortable seats I've ever sat in other than the Mk3 (these were light, manual seats too!) -Dimensionally, they are VERY similar to the FC Rx7 (which is a good thing) -The rear seat is a comical thing. Even...

Sounds like it might be a cylinder that isn't firing (going on 5 instead of all 6) to me. I know this generation of GM v6 engines has a reputation for intake manifold gaskets as well. The OBDII reading giving off any useful codes? I promise you'll find meaningful info SOMEWHERE online given that...

You might also have better luck posting up in the Mk1/Mk2 parts Wanted/For Sale section on here. However, for a Mk2, you're going to see a LOT better response on CelicaSupra.com.

Frankly, if I have to use a weapon for self defense, I think I would WANT people to know. Wouldn't have to make the call to the morgue myself. :p

What does it hurt to carry a spare magazine or two? Sure, it's not exactly convenient to carry in your pocket, but if you're wearing a coat or something...

That would be your PCV system at work sir. Perfectly normal unless you're finding puddles of the stuff.

Sure all your wiring is correct? The auto transmissions in our cars are electronically controlled, it's possible it's a wiring gremlin.

Sounds like you might have hit your ECU with a wall of text for critical damage. ;)

I can also wholeheartedly recommend this setup, it looks great and rides quite nicely. :)

To add to what has been posted, a proper oiling system updating is a good idea. They can be great motors, if you're willing to spend the money to put them together properly. ;)

Not likely. Bolded for emphasis and explanation... If I were you, I would check with the guys from Speed for Sale (in the vendors section on here), they might be able to offer some insight/experience.

And another one from Billy's collection: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=lKq3oYGQPeo#! The fuck is in the water down there man? :rofl: So, I spent Friday learning how much it sucks to remove your hood latch release cable and forget to reattach it... that was fun...
