    On the road to a private pilots license.

    Actually flew over your house yesterday, Doc. I had to fly a new G36 Bonanza back from a town called Mena(KMEZ), Arkansas to Atlanta. Although I have about 30 hours in Bonanzas, I failed to mention to the guy that it was ALL right seat, and that I had never actaully operated one. It flew as I...

    On the road to a private pilots license.

    Training for a helicopter rating added to your pilots license will cost you about $6000 - $8000, I would guess. Even the smallest helicopter costs 50% more than a decent C172SP per hour. Of course its pretty neat to hover, but I prefer fixed wing aircraft. Good luck with your training, and enjoy...

    Yeah- 2 pipes with a proper Y connection should giver you close to the overall exhaust diameter you're looking for.

    hand brake light always on

    The other thing is the connection to the handle itself. Pull up the ebrake boot, and you'll see the wire at the base of the handle. It should take 30 seconds and no tools to check.

    driveshaft question...

    If you bend over and lift the tranny with your back instead of knees, and nothing pops in your spine, you have a W58.

    hand brake light always on

    It also is there to indicate when your brake fluid level is low. Cheeck that first.

    Tail liiiiiiiiiights

    My taillight sensor "went bad" too. But not really. access it through the drivers side bulb panel. Flex the conntector plug by hand, side to side, up and down, while someone presses the brake pedal, or you block the brake pedal down with something. If the brake lights come on, you may very well...

    Lisle 36200 Keeper Installer HELP!!

    A brake cylinder hone is a small 3-prong drill bit, with 3 stones on those prongs which are spring-loaded to press outward. they are identical(yet smaller) to some cylinder hones, used to create the cross-hatching on cylinder walls. Anyway, if the gouge on the bucket wall can be smoothed out-...

    If you're lucky, you can use a brake cylinder hone to smooth out/ polish those lifter bores.

    Lisle 36200 Keeper Installer HELP!!

    Are both the Lisle tool and the valvemaster identical? Which one do you have, guys?

    both turbo and supercharger

    I'm suprised that it hasn't yet been mentioned, but there was a twincharger kit available for the 4AGZE MR2 back in the day. Might have been marketed by HKS, dunno.

    Changing Turbo Exhaust Housings

    I'm doing some porting now on my spare head. Got two of the cylinders done; unshrouding valves, smoothing cc, and flush grinding the intake valve seats. I Don't expect much, but like the guy said- it's free(not including all the dremel bits i've bought.)

    supras+handling=crap what have you done/can u do

    Well then, I suggest the following: trd springs, tokico 5ways, st swaybars and a full urathane bushings with 17''x9.5 rear and 8.5 front wheels. Aside from that, you might want upper/lower front and rear frame braces, and put the car on a diet- I.E.: remove the spare tire, unused seats...

    supras+handling=crap what have you done/can u do

    LMAO! You just said that the Supra handles like Sh!t compared to what you're used to, and then proceed to compare it to a car that is 10+ yrs newer, 500+lbs lighter, and has a complete aftermarket suspension and tire/wheel package... Huh? Everything that you've put into that MR2 is exactly...

    supras+handling=crap what have you done/can u do

    Suspension Techniques or Whiteline swaybars, Eibach, RSR, or H&R lowering springs(in order of higher to lower stance), with Bilstein, Koni or KYB struts(in order of higher to lower price). You'll be happy. You can, of course spend MUCH more on adjustable coilovers(HKS, TEIN, Megan Racing...

    New Project

    That's pretty much it. Are you manual or auto? If manual, you can keep the W58 5spd, but I'd recommend a heavy duty disc on the clutch.
