    Replacing stock clutch with aftermarket. any suggestions?

    I had a SPEC stage 4 in my SS, 6 puck of some sort, I picked it up fairly cheap when the stocker was on it's way out. Thing would hold 6000rpm dumps all day long if you wanted it to. :) Can't say much else on the subject, although it smells ( :p ) like I'll be replacing mine in my Mk3 soon...

    door, hatchback, and targa top seals

    I just replaced my targa seals this weekend. Was like $160 for just the front and rear seals from HPF. Haven't gotten around to the actual side seals on the roof yet, and hoping to test my efforts this weekend, but the new rubber versus the old is quite a difference. The new stuff will likely be...

    Answer the question with a question (now NWS, with goats!)

    Would you listen to a song by Alice In Chains about a man in a box?

    MK5 Supra Summer Design Project

    I hear you on that one Zambini... I've taken my current Mk3 apart and put it together so many times I can pretty much do it in my sleep now. Things I would have put off for lack of help or time I do in parking lots haha... So, any new sketches for us? :)

    XTD Clutch scam!

    Thanks for the heads up guys, I tend to shop either on here or with one of our vendors on here, but now I know one thing to avoid. Mike, if this does escalate to the point of needing an LDF, keep us updated with one of those mandatory read posts, I'd be happy to pitch in at least a little. :)

    Hood strut defect?

    Which ones did you get? Heard one of the hatch ones leaking out last night, seems like Monroe just might not like our pig cars much. Good info man, thanks!

    anyone on PLAYSTATION NETWORK will want to read this (relating to supra on gt5)

    This explains why my add is still waiting on you. :( Only... what, 4, almost 3 more months left? Oh, and not to go OT here, but anyone else liking the prospects of the 'new' Monkey Island games?

    MK5 Supra Summer Design Project

    Is that why they're not on any newer cars? Hmm... I kinda figured getting hit by a 3000lb Corolla would be painful enough that I wouldn't really notice the headlights were up. :rolleyes: That aside, I like the overall ideas on the table here, but there's a reason I don't drive a modern car...

    Any way to make the oil level easier to read from the dipstick? Tricks?

    Put enough oil in it. ;) Just kidding man (well, sorta, gotta have enough anyway, I run about 1qt over 'full'), but in all seriousness, I had mine painted with some sort of flat engine paint. Looks kinda green/blue of some sort, it's a lot easier to read since doing that.

    MK5 Supra Summer Design Project

    Some of these make me think that a C6 Vette and a Mk4 got busy in a parking garage late one night... I like it.

    Supra Picture Challenge

    I've got 11-14 pretty easily, 9 and 10 won't happen for me though, due to a lack of facilities around here. Question though, what counts as an exotic? I can think of all sorts of rare/unique/expensive cars that I could probably convince to let me take a picture of alongside mine, but is there a...

    Short block torque specs with almost no standard parts...

    I would suggest you poke through here: http://www.1jz.com/tech/docs/engine_manual/ It's basically a TSRM, but it sounds like you're doing something a bit unique. Good luck.

    1jz vacuum pressure at idle

    Heh, I remember blowing a coupler a couple times... Second time it happened i didn't even realize it, was still able to make 5psi, but it sure as hell didn't feel (or SOUND) quite right!

    Aftermarket radiators that work with hydro fan...

    I would imagine the PWR would work as well, I have one of those with an e-fan shroud that's about 1" thick. I haven't seen one of those for sale in a long time though... too bad, they're good rads. :)

    1j Starts but wont idle without throttle+ Idle fixed now engine misfire

    Hadn't adjusted the TPS afterward, but it's been running fine like this for 9+ months now so I saw no problem with it. From what I could tell this was the screw that takes the slack out of the throttle that the cruise control would have used on mine. If you're not supposed to adjust that screw...

    Is it even worth fixing?

    Some people go to college to learn things, I bought a Supra. Learned a lot of useful stuff, and spent about as much as most people do before dropping out anyway. Wonder who had more fun though? ;) It's been said before, and I'll also toss my hat in on this one, that if you have cash set aside...
