I've been running a set of cheap copper NGK's in my car for... oh, about 2 years now? I should probably change them out by now, or at least take a look at them, but they've done just fine, and cost me about $1.97 each. ;)

Put an tag (again with the brackets) after the URL, and check this out... Images with words. ;)

If you don't want to melt a piston, I'd recommend not driving it until it's tuned properly. ;)

There are any number of cars that will tolerate a loose maintenance schedule, and the occasional mistake when working on them. Supras... are not one of those cars. I had a Miata that I beat the hell out of on a daily basis, only problem I ever had (and it was an oddball, I am the first to...

Next thread by the OP? "Help, I got sideswiped by somebody that I blinded with my awesome headlights, how do I fix this?" :p

Try pushing harder. In seriousness, do the wheels spin freely once put on? If you're trying to stick a high offset 15" wheel on your car, that's going to cause problems...

Here's another thing to ask yourself guys: Brand Y forged wheel, 17x8 weighs how much? Now, what does knockoff brand X, 17x8 weighs how much? ;) I'd kick somebody's grandmother for a set of forged magnesium wheels for the widebody...

Fixed that for you.

Makes me wonder how the FRS engine would behave if revved another 2000 rpm... S2000 performance and a better chassis?

100% agree. If you're with a partner that you don't like, you really have no one to blame but yourself. Takes guts to get out of a bad situation sometimes, but if you don't do it, you have no real reason to complain about it either. What grinds my gears? Kids. Specifically, your kids. Keep them...

Are the blocks not the same? Did you ever find your serial # on the block by the way?

Sorry if it was unclear in how I worded the first post. I've heard of a few of those V6 engines. It seems that they might be the only "traditional" engine layouts that are odd firing. Seem like they're prone to very high levels of torque, but not very smooth running, from what I was reading...

That's pretty awesome destrux. We have a lot of fast cars around here, but you see them about as often as you see unicorns... mine is driven 364 days a year, regardless of weather. That will change when the widebody is complete though, if only because I'd rather not take the chance of some idiot...

This is why I wear gloves any time I work on my car. Got tired of it biting me. ;)

Like I said, treat it for what it is: a cheap ass disposable car that's fun while it lasts. ;) I do approve 100% of the shift boot though, that's awesome.

Might be best to get another from a donor car being parted out. Either that, or get a new one from a hardware store, but make sure you get a strong bolt and not just the cheapest one that will fit. Nobody likes when their seat belt doesn't do it's job, and the occupant has a dashboard sammich as...

I agree. You wouldn't believe how many cars I've seen on Ebay (MkIV, NSX, FD, etc) running Volks, BBS, Work, HRE, etc... and have them wrapped in Nexen or cheap Kuhmos. NEVER understood that...

Guys, for what it's worth, ANY car can be lighter, faster, tougher, etc. Doesn't matter what level of car you're talking about either. Hell, even F1 can be improved. ;) Nick makes another good point too. LSx engine in a Mk3, as a result, you get: -weight reduction (might not be much, but every...

OP, what is your intended use of this car? If you're on a budget and all you're using it for is a daily driver with the occasional pull, may I recommend looking into an upgraded pad and possibly new lines to start? I really liked the Porterfield R4S pads, but they wouldn't be great on a track...

His car is currently for sale, I believe this project is complete, but I haven't confirmed on his other build thread on that other forum...
