I see hellaflush is a car show, but what's the origin of its name?

I've always loved those fat bootied cars. I want one so bad. And this comment from a 1985 car, "I have never driven such a solid car in my life" say alot about German engineering. I wish I could just once drive one.

I did that once when I was 16 (20 years ago). This moron takes a left right in front of me into a shopping center. I had to slam the brakes to avoid him. I was so pissed I followed him into the parking lot. I got out and was cussing and yelling at him. He then seriously tried to run me over...

Maybe your CPS moved and advanced all cylinders. That is kinda weird that all of the rings would bind like that without running really hot. Did you run low on oil? Nah, then you'd spin a rod bearing or two. Just be honest with us. We won't judge you that much more than we already do. What...

I like your persistance. Besides, doing the work yourself you save money and learn... even if you learn by making mistakes. Well, since you have the engine out and disassembled take it to a machinist. Get that crank cut and polished. Replace bearings with the correct size. If bore is...

I always thought rings collapsed onto pistons when severely over heated. Why would you be running such thick oil with an additive on a fresh rebuild? Why would your bearings be dying so soon?

No shit. What are the specs on that scooter!? Nice going on the swap limequat. It's moving right along..... behind that fast scooter.

Hundreds is about right. You know, when I used to go to car meets and the policed rolled through with their lights on a bunch of us wouldn't leave. What can they ticket you for? As long as you're up to date on your insurance, inspection, registration, and have no warrants you should have...

Last I was at the dragstrip I missed 3rd gear and bounced of rev limiter. At the end of the run my car shut off on the return road... twice. Back at the pits it idled like it had a miss, and felt like it lost power when I drove it. Let me show you what it ended up being. Number one...

Nah, donate it to someone who may need it. They'll probably have to heat it and bent it back to shape though. Congrats on dropping in the 7m. I'm on vacation (staycation) right now, and spending time with the family. I haven't been in the garage lately. Surprise, surprise. I'll dropping...

tsavenged, All have to catch you some other time. I'm going to my little bros house for a BBQ. If I get back early enough I'm might swing by Mamma Margies. Have fun and be safe.

Not impressed. I'm not a big fan of drifting anyway. Why couldn't you just normally drive back onto the track after you lost control? Wouldn't it be a little safer for everybody? Nice build though.

I have a question about that Craftsman diamond tipped cutter. Did you try it both clockwise and counterclockwise with your drill? The pics you show looks like you were drilling in the wrong direction. It would only cut a small divot like your pics. Try it the opposite way. That's of course...

You need to do some math, and replace the valve shims out of spec. Start on this page and keep clicking next page. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=9 You can purchase those special tools through toyota, or get them through snap on or the like. If it's...

Between 0.15mm-0.25mm on the intake side. 0.20mm-0.30mm on the exhaust side. That's the clearance range that's given by TSRM.

Sundays it is. I just might go down there and see what goes on. It's close enough to home. Are you usually hanging out by your car, or inside eating?

Well... my MKIII isn't running. I work very early on the weekends. I would like to see your car though. When are you guys going to meet up next time? Maybe I can show up early, grab a bite to eat, and meet some of you guys. Do all of you guys just have supras, or is there a mix of cars?

That's about one mile away from me. Oh, Michael and David dropping your engines in your bays... :thefinger. Show offs. Looking good though. I'm gonna get in the garage and do some more. David, I was just going to ask you if you leave the upper intake manifold off while dropping it in the...

Thanks for the offer, but I'm going T4. Running an SSAC manifold with a 4bolt T4, and external wastegate. The BIC DDP wouldn't work for me.

I may need your expertise in stabbing the cam position sensor. I just want to make sure it gets done right. I may have the 7m in the car soon, but I'll still be waiting on the downpipe & intercooler pipes.
