    Autocross?

    Pretty sure it's still that way. Drive one with some good tires through a canyon and you'll understand why too. ;)

    Will this rim fit ?

    I thought you were drag racing. Taller tire = more grip, higher mph per gear as well. Downside, they're a bit heavier, but if you have a good amount of power...

    What kind of car would make you feel worst if you lost to it in a race?

    If you're undefeated, what's the point in having any dreams or aspirations? I've only been beaten by 2 people in my current setup, one 550-600whp 7m (that only runs long enough to stomp my ass and keep me in my place before breaking again), and an Acura TL with a ~67mm turbo setup that's tuned...

    Answer the question with a question thread, 2011 style!

    Do we place the blame on you for bringing them up if someone *does* post about the goats? How's a cookie sound?

    Running hot. Can not figure out why. 2J MKIII... 240* on the highway

    Seems backwards, but I like the idea. So if I'm understanding this correctly, it works as normal, but any time the temp sensor is above it's range... hmm. Honestly, I'm horrible when it comes to wiring, mind elaborating on this process a bit? Have fun getting to the stock temp sensor hole if...

    Weird 1jz Vacuum pressure

    Going on my limited concrete understanding of vacuum, I'd say no. Once the air is out of the system, it's out. Where it goes from the exhaust ports shouldn't effect your vacuum... I believe my typical idle pressure is ~15in/hg at 900-1000rpm. But I'm at 6500' altitude, down south it's closer to...

    what are these plugs on my 1jz? and clutch question

    In the first picture, the far bottom left circle is the cable that feeds the battery from the alternator, needs to be extended to reach your battery. Also in that picture, around that area, I also have a few plugs left unconnected. I believe at least one of them controls the hydraulic fan, which...

    swap

    Haha, there's a sticky in the JZ section below the General section your thread is in. Read up, and save up, if you haven't done so already. Figure on spending anywhere from 4-6k depending on where you get the motor, and how good of a job you want your swap to be.

    Boost creep over 14psi already?... is this normal for my setup?

    Stock Mk3 JZ intercooler is pretty hefty for being stock, piping's not bad either, but it is funny shaped being mostly thick rubber. Hmm, wonder if I had replaced the intercooler and piping if I could hit a consistent 15/16..?

    You know you're a Supra owner when...

    :nono: Really? I've yet to think my car looks like a Probe... although I'll admit to having a first thought of "Supra?" when I see a Probe. :p

    Newbie has a question

    Chip's got a point. If it was dripping out of the bottom of the bellhousing, loosen it up (gonna need some extensions, wobbly extensions are nice for this job) and pull the trans back a bit. If you have a good amount of oil in there, you've found your leak...

    Will this rim fit ?

    It'll fit for sure, but I'd look into a taller tire if I were buying slicks...

    Best of luck to anyone in Japan...

    Oh, I see it now! Behind the other white thing... It's gonna effect their economy for a while I would think. Too bad they all make their cars here nowadays, if this happened in the 80's, chances are you could have gotten a nice car for pretty cheap...

    How to beat speeding ticket in VA school zone?

    Oh, I understand the monetary reasons for it, which is why I hate driving through Utahded. Can't tell you how many times I've been pulled over and told I was doing 15mph more than I actually was.

    Rice with spliced human genes

    Unfortunately Mike, everybody thinks of consequences in light of the excitement of the potential an idea has. I mean, hell, I'd love to see dinosaurs if there was even a remote chance of making that happen, but as cool as the idea is, what if they somehow managed to get out of control and...

    What kind of car would make you feel worst if you lost to it in a race?

    You'd catch up if he had to turn at all. ;) I'm the same way, it's inspiring in the way that getting hit in the face with a volleyball encourages you to get good at dodgeball.

    You ever lose a bet? ;) Why haven't I thought of that yet? :naughty: Babies? :aigo: Seriously, WHY did I have to have a mouthful of chinese food when I read that??? :nono:

    Weird 1jz Vacuum pressure

    Do you have any leaks anywhere? At that altitude you should be seeing more vacuum than that.

    intermittent starting issues..

    Report back either way Dylan, nobody likes a problem thread without a solution, right? ;) I had a similar issue down in Vegas last year, and I wasn't the only one. We had a push start a Mk4 haha... Anyway, mine seemed to not like the weather so much, as I've never had the issue in the colder...
