    Home Depot Strut tower bars! (With Pics)

    It looks like that front one could be flexed in both hands. If it can be, -even a millimeter- think what you car is doing to it. PS- I see you have a JZ engine conversion. I think you can afford the $30 Ebay item.

    Confusion about a vacuum source

    Thanx for the replies. Yes, I have a turbo model of the CC as well, but due to the fact that (as mentioned above) there is no wiring plug to actuate the pump motor, I wanted to use the NA version. Not sure HOW I would trigger the GTE CC vac motor, as mentioned above, so again, Is there a single...

    89' #1 and #4 cylinder wnt fire, why???help!!

    I think that #'1 and 4 are on separate coils, so I dunno if that'd be the problem. Replace the wires, and see where you are. It wouldn't hurt to check the individual connections to each coil either. Also, I've seen where you can get enough water or oil contamination down in the spark plug valley...

    Confusion about a vacuum source

    I was searching 'vacuum' threads, but didn't find my answer; I have an 88' 7mgte(swap), and was wondering how to set up a vacuum manifold. Is there a particular port that I can tap into, or do I have to use two different ports with check valves, so that I can get vacuum under light throttle as...

    glass pack on supra

    It sounds just a touch drone-ish at low rpm. DO you have the muffler at the back? I would imagine that iff it was farther upstream, it might kill the drone, even though the end result out of the back would be the same. Sounds pretty sweet during WOT. :biglaugh:

    Quieter exhaust?

    Well, here's my ultimate plan: I want to go from a recirc DP which ends in a small flex section, from there to the cat, which will end in a 3pt flange. Then a nice quiet freeflow muffler which will be flanged on both ends so that I can take it out at my discretion. I can simply have a...

    Quieter exhaust?

    I was looking to quiet down my exhaust quite a bit, and was wondering what I should use. I have a 3"dp going into a 3" cat, and then back to a generic 3" N1 type can via 3" piping. Would placing a bullet style muffler inline after the cat give me a significant reduction in sound? Or, should I...

    Doward's 375rwhp Build.

    Glad to hear of the progress. Mine's been sitting, almost completely assembled, waiting for me to cough up the dough for a new clutch. My current engine is definately getting tired, though she drove a 600mile round trip yesterday with zero compaints, and the same trip 5 days earlier as well...

    crank repair

    Buy a beater for $800, spend the rest on a new engine setup (rebuild kit), and when you're done, sell the beater and buy a nice exhaustintake combo or something.

    Would love to see a Supra dash like this -->

    Would look ok if the entire interior was in suede like that. On our cars, it would certainly look good if it was in leather w/ leather interior.
