Perfect. An engine hoist made of three tree trunks, and in the background, a dog-igloo with a hole in it, and a set of tires stacked in the dirt, in front of the pickup on the parking slab. I assume the double-wide is behind the camera position?

My second race ever was back in 1985, me in my '77 280z and this guy who must have been at least 60 in a massive 6 liter '60's Mercedes. He beat me. : (

Black smoke is fuel. Blue smoke is oil. Have you checked to see if you're leaking oil under the car?

Could someone explain this check valve issue? Not sure which pumps have them, and what they do/ don't do.

If the engine won't physically crank over, then you prolly have a frozen waterpump, cause massive drag on the belt assembly. Happened to me and seemed like a weak battery.

I don't see the point in removing it, since it doesn't interfere with WOT situations, and keeps your engine cooler. ANYTHING that helps the engine run cooler is a good thing IMO.

Frolicon...wow. Now I see why this was moved to off-topic. : )

They are hollow like stock, just not AS hollow. Funny about the color though. I bought my ST's through Summit like 8 yrs ago, and they're the same meteor gray as my car. sweet.

LOL- I'll keep that in mind, ok? :icon_bigg

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but If you have no temp sensor connected, the ecu will always consider the engine to be cold, thus you might continue to run the cold start injector, and your engine will be in open loop- AKA- the ecu won't be reading the O2 sensor, thus always rich. Not...

Good I dea. In fact, if I have a few dollars left, I plan to build a 7AGE for my 86 MR2, so I can get it on the road as my DD and do the same as you.

I was just wondering if anyone had plans to use part of their refunds on their Supe's. I've been wanting to do this for like 5 years now, so I'm going to make sure I don't waste my refund this time...My poor car has been sitting on the same set of 16x8 Mille Miglia crap rims for over a DECADE...

www.driftmotion.com is a good place for lots of stuff, Champion Toyota is a good place for good prices on dealer-only parts. And there are a number of venders right on Supramania that have great aftermarket items available. You're prolly looking at about $1,000 for a reliable rebuild w/ stock...

My NA was up to 122 indicated and still accelerating, but I wimped out. And as far as HP requirements- not sure IJ, but I know that parasitic drag quadruples with a doubling of velocity- at least in aircraft, so I'm sure it's true w/ any vehichle hitting the wind. That's why you can do 120mph...

NICE. Thanks for the info!

Anyway- If you're REALLY worried about them backing out, you might want to saftey wire them. You'll have to have a shop drill a tiny hole through the heads, and then you run a wire through them, basically connecting them all to each other. That keeps them from turning. I would expect that high...

If you can afford a $12,000 used car, why not get a $2,500 late 90's civic? They're bullet-proof, and you wouldn't have to sell the supra. I've been driving a 94 civic DX, and the only problem it's ever had was a waterpump failure and a cv axle replaced on driver's side because it made a...

Or buy a MAFT or MAFT pro as a path to future upgrades. With either, you can run an atmospheric BOV, since you get rid of the Mass air sensor.

So... did anyone go to the Duluth meet? I was cleaning my car up to go over, but was called into work. I did spot a red Mk III on Sugarloaf pkwy around 4pm, headed that way. Was that anyone on here?

Sorry I hadn't posted to this thread earlier- never saw it! I have a grey 88 5spd targa, bought in September 1996 with 144,000 miles. After two full rebuilds and two cylinder head changes between 1997 and 2005, I swapped the NA for a turbo motor in 2005, in unknown condition. The only work to...
