    255 front fitment??

    I run a 255/40 up front on MKIV TT wheels, and it fits....barely. The wheel has about 1/4" clearance between the tire, and inner wheel well at full lock, so don't be going over any large bumps at full lock (like that will happen). I notice it rubs sometimes at full lock, but this is because my...

    Ball Joints? or STEERING RACK?!??!! of DOOM!!!

    Yup, those would be the steering rack bushings. I have the same problem, I'm too lazy to change them though. I even have replacements sitting in my trunk. The pair were $70cad from Toyota IIRC.

    Installed a satellte radio!

    I installed an XM satellite radio in my supra this weekend. I got a Pioneer GEX-P920XM (IIRC), it's a receiver that just plugs into the back of any pioneer headunit with a p-bus. I love it because there isn't some obvious "Steal me" box sitting on my dash, it's nice and stealth, and doesn't...

    Flickering lights

    I would sooner upgrade the wiring. I see a capacitor as more of a band-aid approach. That's not to say they aren't useful, but if you have dimming issues, I would first upgrade your wiring. What sort of amp are you running? What gauge of wire are you using for it? I used to run 1400wrms to...

    vacuum at idle with crower 272s and single.

    I used to pull ~15in-hg idling (750rpm) on my stock motor. With Crower small core 272s, I idle at ~10in-hg

    Do i have a virus or does god hate me?

    Yeah, what I was getting at was since the sites were blocked, the antivirus has not been updated in a while, and he should do something about that :) I guess I didn't express that very well in my post.

    PLAYA'S ONLY!

    That's the funniest thing I've ever seen. hahaha.

    Do i have a virus or does god hate me?

    Get some good antivirus software. The fact that your hosts file looks like that tells me that you don't have any, and if you did, you haven't bothered updating it in quite a while. Everybody has a different opinion on antivirus software, but my opinion is that you should go out and buy some...

    Spec clutch problems?

    Yes I have heard of Spec clutches failing prematurely. But I have zero experience with them personally, so it's really just hearsay at this point. For all I know, the bad spec clutches I've seen were piss-poot install jobs. I wouldn't take my opinion to mean anything :)

    Diesel GT4294 on a 2jz

    Haha. I know Reg Reimer runs a custom turbo on his 1 lap of America MKIV, I believe was originally a GT42 in its life. It has a nice powerband to it though, not that bad at all on a 2JZ with some tuning. The thing puts out about 550whp@14psi.

    look what i did today

    Yeah, swapping twins is the most un-fun job in the world. Joe, I think you broke the first rule of 1JZs. You put the twins back on. They only go one way, "off". :) Now you know why most people take them off, then just say "Fuck it, I'm going single". I took the twins off twice, once to put on...

    That's just rediculous. What's the depth on those monsters?

    6.5 speaker pods in an 87?

    Why would you have to cut the door?

    New FAT wheels on the supe :) (pics)

    Yeah, that's what I was asking. I figured 295 would be too wide for a 9.5" wheel. 275 will work great.

    6.5 speaker pods in an 87?

    They're for the door. There's a huge opening in the door frame. The speaker pod basically mounts into this big opening, adapting it to fit a standard speaker. You can make one out of a shin sheet of MDF.

    Haha, I'm such a geek.

    I got it on Ebay for like $55us shipped or something :) It's an old 20mhz scope, but it works just great for anything I need it for.

    Removing Trim?

    Yeah, I had to cut the side of the trim a little on my JDM to get my LCD screen to flip out properly.

    Maximum Boost

    I've read it cover to cover a few times. I think ANYBODY wanting to modify a turbocharged car should read this book first. Great book.
