    Positives to Seafoam?

    Has anyone taken the head off after a treatment and compared carbon reduction? Does it really work?

    Anyone have a false floor template?

    Mine's going to be very similar, but with two 10"'s. I went a bit further and used small round metal electrical plates and foam tape to seal the drain plugs. I'm still toying with the idea of using either mono-foam or fiberglass to seal the board to the floor, since many of the gaps are over...

    someone smack me! (floormat/gas pedal interference)

    You just gotta pull it back away from the pedals. No biggie.

    How do 4" sound?

    I think you'll be happy. You can get double the bass out of 5.25" speakers running them off an amp compared to head unit power. Most head units only put out a true 7-12 RMS watts per channel. See if you can mount your front tweeters like I mentioned. The difference in stereo imaging will be...

    someone explain the use of hub rings please.

    Can someone suggest the best place to buy rings for work equip wheels? The bore on my wheels is larger than my hub and it looks like the weight of the wheel and centering is all on the lugs. Is this safe?

    How do 4" sound?

    Here's a write-up for making your own plate. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11473&highlight=speaker I'm going to do something like this but I will use separate tweeters mounted onto the kick-panel plastic parts near the feet, which will give ideal imaging for the highs.

    To invest or not to invest more....HELP

    A nice Mk3 Supra by far has more rareness and coolness to it than most new cars. The 350z is a very nice looking car though. You should test drive one to see if it's worth considering or not. If you get one, get a used one to save on depreciation. I like to change cars every 5-8 years. I've had...

    Urethane foam injection for increased chassis rigidity...?

    Well after further research, I'm going to do this, and report my application progress and results. I'm looking at either the 8 or 16 lb foam from this site: http://www.shopmaninc.com/foam.html Check out the descriptions of the these densities: "8lb: This 8LB density foam is extremely hard...

    Starter working, but not with the key

    I might suggest wiring up your own starter relay circuit, which is normally used to solve the inevitable hot start problems in Mk3's. I did this and it fixed my intermittent starting issue: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2593146 (I think our starter wire at the ignition is black...

    Oil: Royal Purple

    I was thinking of running the lightest weight engine oil I could get away with, but was unsure and concerned about something like a 0W-xxW; I was wondering if oil that is too thin could cause slack and impact between parts. What do you folks recommend for a 400 hp 7M?

    For everyone that works on you own Supra!

    For those who don't like to wear gloves, this stuff works pretty good, also good under the fingernails before work. I use this with the Fast Orange with good results.

    Bi-Tron Oil Additive...Snake Oil? You be the Judge

    For the peace of mind for you guys who are currently using the products, not the haters, the company promises "totally non-corrosive, and contains no solids". I've been distributing Bi-Tron for 3 years and using it in everything I own with no problems, and many people have been using them since...

    Bi-Tron Oil Additive...Snake Oil? You be the Judge

    Sure, I may see things in a simple way. But if a product can do what it does on my personal test equipment, and not be corrosive, then that IS the next big thing in my opinion, and I will use it and recommend it to others. If the product still works like it does after 3 months of use in my...

    Bi-Tron Oil Additive...Snake Oil? You be the Judge

    I beleive they got in trouble in 1999, before they aquired their patented AFTM formula. Is it possible to get snake oil(an oil that does nothing) patented for automotive use? You guys are happily ignoring quality evidence here.

    Bi-Tron Oil Additive...Snake Oil? You be the Judge

    The Bi-Tron lubricants are extremely similar to Prolong, which is a publicly traded company, having gone through many lab tests as posted on their site. To prove that the things I am describing are not so far-fetched, here are some exerpts from their website: "Prolong's AFMT technology...

    Bi-Tron Oil Additive...Snake Oil? You be the Judge

    I tested it do death with what I own and made 14 separate demonstration videos, but I don't run the company. I already posted lab results from the previous company that distributed the product. The current company is still rather new and there is very little demand from the field to do new...

    Bi-Tron Oil Additive...Snake Oil? You be the Judge

    Jdub, you've nicely sidestepped my logical information about the plastic deformation of metal surfaces under load, and this has been more than thoroughly demonstrated. This is a science, and this science works. This is obviously becoming a manipulative head game for you and I opt out at this...
