Putting tires that big on a truck that was never engineered to have such things attached could be more the problem. I mean, how much heavier are they than stock tires? It's not the height, I think it's the weight, if that makes sense. It's like carrying around bowling balls in each hand, and...

Always good to have a hobby. I read comics while the old lady is reading books or magazines. :) I think that's what kinda scared me away a bit. How much of a PC do you have to run something like this anyway? I'm interested, got the hardware for it (not 100% of the pc requirements), but the...

This would be badass. I remember having a cyst removed from my cheek (stupid thing got cut open due to Doctor S. Teadyhands, so it grew back), he was worried about having a scar on my face. I honestly would appreciate that...

Thought I had posted up that info... was trying to pull the banjo bolts on the oil cooler (nice and easy to reach without that stupid AC crap in the way too!), but I believe they are a 23mm head. That is one of the ONLY metric sized tools that I just don't have. So, it just got pulled out, stuck...

Like I've said, I love both of them, you can't have more fun for anywhere near that cheap in anything CLOSE to that new of a car. Never driven an Mr2, so can't say much about that, but a Miata will teach you how to handle a car. It doesn't hide the fact that you need more seat time, it doesn't...

Is it really really lumpy running? Could possibly be misfiring badly if that's the case. I would say check your wiring for the spark plugs (seen that mixed up on a 7m and caused all sorts of fun havoc), but I dunno how you'd mix your coil packs up on a 1j... You try asking it nicely to...

I wonder if this is an issue exclusive to the 2j, or the CT12B's..? Hell, I see 15-16psi in first on stock ct12a's. Edit: What gears do you have in the differential? I have 3.73's, lots of load to be found there. :)

I'd be surprised if a Toyota dealer somewhere in this country doesn't have a new 6/7m crankshaft sitting on a shelf in a crate in the back... trick is finding it. Bigger trick is convincing them that in 20 years, nobody has bought it, and that you'd be happy to take it off their hands for cheap. ;)

I'd agree with this. Daily driven 3 different Supras through Wyoming winters for at least 5 years now. Have only had two situations where I got even somewhat stuck. One, got flipped around having a bit too much fun in the Mk2 (turns out good snow tires are directional too, and don't work very...

The only issues I would take with it are the location of the downpipe routing being RIGHT by the radiator (not the best place for some of the hottest temps under the hood, ya know?), and the lack of space for an air filter. Other than that, it's neat. :)

Dirty thread title aside, gotta say this was probably the easiest engine pull I've ever been a part of. 1987 Rx7 5 speed, the biggest problem I think we ran into was the oil cooler not coming out without pulling the AC condenser. Took us (complete newbs at this job) about 6 hours if you include...

It's all dem torques hes gots in that thur Ford... thats whats terrin up his transmishuns, not them tayers. Ugh... it's hard for me to even TYPE that stupid out of jest. :p

Heh, my girlfiend seems to think she'll become one every time I eyeball my setup... Sadly, my G27 and chair-frame-thing have hardly seen any use. As for iRacing, I remember looking into it at one point (think a demo came with my wheel), I dunno how well my PC would hold up to such a thing...

So... new week, new selection? I like this one, don't want this thread to die out due to lack of ideas, so I'll throw out one if I might be so bold (not to step on the OP's feet here, just trying to keep things moving...). MR2 vs. Miata Two similar natured cars, both 4 cylinder, both rear...

No worries man, with a 7m, I'd probably try to keep the revs below 6k if I could help myself. 1j does just fine at higher speeds though, and behaves a little better up there anyway. :)

Oh holy hell man, I though you had that JZ in a Mk3... that much power in a Mk2 has gotta be a bit of a handful. Looks like you could use a hood while you're painting it too. :p

Probably the first instance I've heard of that happening... I would think along the same lines as above, debris in the fluid. Honestly though, I've never taken apart a hydrofan before, I'm not 100% certain how they operate. Hopefully someone with experience can chime in here. Do they run off the...

I forget which exact plug I've run in my car, but it doesn't idle perfect (not horrible either), but it doesn't miss under boost either. I'm gapped around .028 here. Copper > Iridium on our cars. :)

Things to check, in order: -CPS -timing -ISCV When you check all those things out and make sure they're set properly, report back.

This. Shady people tend to not stick around in one place too long man... hate to say it, but you might have been boned here. Not to mention, if some random guy comes in to my shop, asks for parts that aren't his, needless to say, he wouldn't get anything without a LOT of homework on my part...
