I agree that it's not rocket science, but the other method I suggested works on flat ground and guarantees that you won't have to burp it twice. Also takes a lot less time. :)

Not gonna lie... seems like you got a rather good deal. You really shouldn't have bought that though... you should have told ME about it first. There, how's that for an argument? :p

E85... bastard. I'm right next to freaking NEBRASKA and we don't sell E85 in this state, grumble grumble... Nice numbers though, curves look fairly consistent too. :)

Could always JB Weld it back together if you screw it up, right? Right? :p

Friend of mine gives me that crap about my Mk2... glad to see I'm not the only one. As for the Mk3, I had all the trim painted the body color, so the logo isn't as easily read anymore. I imagine 98% of the people around here don't know what it is, and the other 2% have quit revving near me. :)

Lovely discussion going on in this thread, I've taken all the pros and cons into my notes. :biglaugh:

I'm still working on mine, but I'll try to get some uploaded sooner than later. Lot is gonna change before year's end though. :)

There's also a tool that you hook up to the radiator filler neck, it screws on (just like a rad cap would), then you have a valve turned a certain way, hooked up to an air compressor. This sucks all the air out of the system (you have to drain the car first btw...), making it a complete vacuum...

I don't like scraping the shit out of my exhaust and front lip, so I keep the ride height high enough for the area I live in... but if I were to live in a place with smoother roads I'd have mine lower. Even at this height I doubt my exhaust is 100mm off the ground in all places, and my car is...

Mk2's are different, but in mostly good ways. For example, they're a lot lighter, more nimble (I LOVE the slip angle on the A6x chassis), and roomy, and you sit quite a bit lower in the seat as well. I love mine though, had it for nearly 2 years now, it's been a solid daily for me for over a...

The replica pods are a slightly different shape than the 86.5-90 door pods. More speaker space, less plastic, from what it looks like to me. :)

For me it's a bit of a toss up, my first three cars were more or less rubbish: -94 Cavalier 4 door: Damn hard to kill, that thing caught more air than some rally cars... -89 240sx: $900 and I didn't know how to turn a wrench to save my life back then... -80 Corolla fastback: ~325k+. Fun car...

15w-40 Rotella is some awesome stuff, been running it in my 1j and it doesn't burn off at all. :)

Add turbos, that should even things out a bit. ;) Seriously though, I had a very similar problem with my SS a long time ago. OBD2 returned codes that suggested o2 sensors being bad, but it ended up being a dirty (oil covered from the K&N filter, was way over-oiled from the factory) MAF. My...

Try replacing your turbos, or even just the y-pipe when the engine is in the bay... you'll understand why most people recommend going single. There are plenty of old school options (Blitz KKK 26 setup comes to mind) that can make impressive power and still have good response, but you're still...

They'll look good on just about anything I imagine, gold's a good, nigh-universally matching color, kinda like black or silver. Some colors just look good on anything. Would love to know what they're gonna end up on though...

Do you hear a whining like the pump is trying to send fluid back there? I'm pretty sure it takes off the main washer fluid reservoir in the passenger fender, as all the times I've ever torn apart the interior I never found a separate reservoir for the rear washer... Otherwise I'd suggest just...

I would imagine he'd have to adjust it to find a happy medium. My car idles right around 900rpm, hot or cold. Perhaps my ISCV is letting a little air in at idle, I dunno, but mine isn't a permanent fixture either. I'll stop recommending the idea when it stops working for me. :) However, you and...

Would have been perfect for my car (color is a blue/purple/black depending on light conditions), and more or less wide enough and set far enough out for me to be happy. When they first put them up for bidding they had them priced at ~$1750, so I figured $1200 would have been a good deal. :)

Around 118*C it will start heading north on the stock temp gauge in a hurry, 220 might be a tad warm, but it shouldn't kill your engine, if Toyota's engineering department set the gauge to read 'normal' from ~80*C-118*C...
