HPF (horsepowerfreaks.com) is where I got mine, since I was getting a few other things at the time...

You and IJ...:: IJ. :: Makes sense Keith, I haven't had my own car to be at the show/shine since 2006, due to some bad luck/timing the last couple events. Seems the lunch option was dropped, I dunno if you mentioned that? Oh, and just so we're clear, it's $30 to get into the show/shine...

JJ just earned the post of the month as far as I'm concerned. :biglaugh: As for myself, I just quit my job with Home Depot of 5 years. First three of those were spent working as their nut/bolt vendor until the company HD outsourced to laid me off. I can't complain too much, they bought my 89 as...

Gremlins. That's what's going on in your cursed engine. Takes a lot of trouble to get rid of them all in a Mk3. On an unrelated note, NT05's, nice tires... I just picked up a set and love them. Just noticed your car is RHD too... damn Canucks. :p Anyway, I may have missed it, but how's your...

I think the OP owes us a 10 second thread... with NOS.

Another thing to consider is your heater core... Check the carpets on the inside of the firewall, near your throttle linkage and on the passenger side. If you have any pink (or whatever color your coolant is) you may need to push the hose from the engine bay further onto the heater core pipe. I...

Sheepskin in a black/gray looks nice if you have a dark interior, gimme a second... See, nice and simple, compliments the interior nicely.

Just had my clutch replaced and now I'm getting the same clunk between shifts or whenever I go from no throttle to any throttle... This has given me lots of things to check out. :)

You know the sad thing supraguy? I've SEEN Corvette Summer. :nono: I think this is a rehash of a thread that popped up recently though... perhaps it was in one of the vendor threads. Personally speaking, I like the idea, but I'd have to see it on a car. If it has a radiator vent, it might be...

I had the a/c in my 88 recharged in April 2006 (in AZ) for the summer. It got pretty damn cold for April, had the windows tinted the same time. Only lasted a few months, but I spent them in Wyoming, so it wasn't all that necessary. In AZ summer heat, I've never been in a car that felt *all* that...

Wait, lemme get this straight... you have a motor, and are trying to decide what to put it in? Sounds like a new one to me. :) Chip's right though, rear sump for us Mk3 guys. Motor mounts are a bit different between the 86.5-88 and the 90-92. 89's kinda a bastard year of who-knows-what-you-get.

I'll take a stab at it like I always do... same old suggestion too. Works for me and pretty much everyone that's had the same problem I did, but some people think it's a bad idea without giving a better one. Anyway, I digress. Try giving it about 1/4 throttle after you start it. What's it do...

So you have an ATI dampener, an FFIM, and an ARZ valley cover... and a ct26? :biglaugh: Just giving you a bit of shit, just seems out of place. I think Duane makes a good point though, about the mallet. I can't imagine that being a very good thing to be hitting the nose of the crank...

Looks nice, one question though: how did your old sub box get so moldy? Your hatch doesn't seem to have any real bad rust issues... not at first glance anyway. Gives me an idea for a mold though, I'll be putting mine where the rear sets were (and cage now is), I'm wondering if I'd be able to...

You know, my dad owned a 1970 Chevelle SS LS6 with the 4 speed Muncie... when he was 17, in 1980. Long before these sorts of cars were gold mines (the LS6 in particular is quite valuable these days), built it up a bit, got drunk, tried racing some guy, and wrapped it around a pole. I still...

As opposed to what? What would you expect to be in a Supra..?

Err... sorry, was rather tired when I posted that. I meant the show/shine and the drags, but it seems you answered my question. So why does the show and shine cost money this year? I can't say I remember it costing anything since 06...

Just be careful what sort of diesel engine you're getting a turbo from... We've come across a couple HUGE mofos that would be fun for a rotory, but useless on a smaller piston engine. Some diesel engines (looking more at semi trucks here) use 7 blade turbos, some use 11 blade. You probably won't...

I have a ported/polished head and BC264's on stock twins. Has a really healthy powerband from 2500-5000, but flattens out at 5k. Still pulls real nicely from 5-7k, but doesn't make any more power according to the butt dyno. Yes, you lost power, but I wouldn't be so quick to blame the cams. How's...

Looks kinda messy from what I've seen of "good" manifolds. Appears to go 3-2-1 into the turbo? To a certain extent, you'll get what you pay for when it comes to manifolds.
