    rebuilding the front subframe -

    Hey Steve- Sorry for the late response. I didn't seem to have this issue with my setup. I suggest you measure the length of the sleeves and send that info to Ronnie. He'll know if yours are the correct length. It's certainly a possibility that whoever machines those sleeves for him, had made a...

    Clutch stuck on floor

    Depends- Jake- What did you do with your clutch setup? Did you change it out or machine the flywheel? If not, I'd say you can try adjusting it, but it may very well be the slave cylinder as already mentioned. For me, it was the master. I also would suggest looking at the fluid. If it's dark/...

    A/C fixed! or is it?

    Generally, cans of R134 come with an incrimental amount of lubricant oil mixed in with it. I'm going to guess you'll be ok, but for a compressor that has sat dead still for 5 years...it's anyone's guess.

    another piston ring question.

    Stock rings are fine, but 450 RWHP is nearing the upper limit of stock internals in general.

    knock warning light?

    Signal IS the ground, if I'm not mistaken.(Where's Jet jock?) But I dunno if the knock sensor circuit will cause an led to flash

    Subframe bushings?

    You still retain the subframe bushings. I'd imagine most of the stress goes there. The oem subframe spacers' main role is to reduce noise and vibration for the occupants.

    Some fun with the supra last night

    LOL. I was thinking it would have been awesome if you took out the camera on your first spin! PS- editing software on your computer would allow you to delete the part where you're running back and forth to turn on and off the camera. otherwise, cool.

    coolant being pushed out only under load

    It almost sounds normal. If coolant is being pushed out by combustion gasses, that would mean you could test for the presence of those gases. And IF you have a leaking HG, I'd say it might be solved by a retorque. Not that your bolts might have stretched, but your MLS HG might have compressed...

    Car Sputters While Accelerating

    I would never get mad when someone reports the reults of a fix. It pisses me off when the community bends over backwards, analyzing someone's issue, offers suggestions, and we never hear from the thread starter what the result was- it doesn't help the next guy who has the problem. THAT'S why we...

    code 52 struggles.

    Well, the low afr's might cause the misfire, or the misfire might result in low afr's(unburned fuel= rich). What are your plugs gapped at?

    A little custom body work .

    Looks great. Are you going to reinstall radiator mounting points?

    My MKIII Build

    Very very nice. I gotta say, I love the wrinkle finish on the timing cover. I was planning on wrinkling the valve covers and intake manifold, but now I think I'll include your example.

    DrDucttape's 1988 MKIII Project

    That isn't that uncommon. I would say use it, and only replace it if you find an issue once its running. The backplate is necessary to determine cam timing.

    code 52 struggles.

    Wait- does it feel like a misfire? Like you're losing a cylinder? If so, sheck all your plug wires, and make sure you didn't get any coolant/ water down in the spark valley. It'll cause a misfire under load.
