    Screw coil overs, I want a Bose suspension

    Imagine ZERO body roll at a slammed ride height! I wonder what effect it has when leaning INTO corners? Less inner tire lift?

    WTF is Bitron 4 Real?

    I'd be willing to offer free shipping to SM'ers for orders over $75. Definitely wait till after the FULL engine break-in period in to use this stuff. That's the best plan to preserve a top-notch compression engine.

    WTF is Bitron 4 Real?

    I found some lab results from the late 90's done in the UK. https://uf1.com/wcegmem/bitron_engine.pdf https://uf1.com/wcegmem/bitron_gas-petro.pdf The rights to the product line were recently bought out by new owners here in Vancouver. I'm sure they'll do new tests in the future. In the...

    WTF is Bitron 4 Real?

    "The FTC also charged that zMax is nothing but mineral oil, and that it actually causes a 50% increase in bearing wear, proven by Oil-Chem's own testing" "...The bottom line seems to be that zMax works as a solvent of some kind, so if you have a sludged-up engine it'll help clean it up"

    WTF is Bitron 4 Real?

    I agree. My car's still got the 15w-50 from the previous owner, and the oil pressure is stupidly high when cold. "Thick" oils are now obselete in my opinion. I'll be going much thinner real soon.

    WTF is Bitron 4 Real?

    I use conventional oil in my Mk2, but synthetic in my Mk3 because it carbonizes less (turbo coking, etc.) The fuel product is supposed to make fuel burn cleaner so perhaps that is a contributing factor to why that customer's oil was clean after 8k.

    WTF is Bitron 4 Real?

    Great story. It's really big in the Kelowna area. I also push my oil changes to 7 or 8000 in my Mk2. Maybe it's the lower operating temps that reduce carbon formation? Not sure, but mechanics I know say that engines are very clean after using the product.

    How much Boost safely?

    My setup is very similar, and it loves 15 psi. Occasionaly spikes to 17 or 18 but doesn't seem to make any difference or pinging. I am running 94 octane though.

    WTF is Bitron 4 Real?

    The online shopping cart is universal for customers and distributors, that's why there are sales aids there. I can't change that. I understand your points of view. It's tough to promote these products when I'm up against decades of bogus snake oils of the past, and lots of false and...

    WTF is Bitron 4 Real?

    Skepticism is to be expected. I guess snakey and Cletus are words I'd rather not be called :)

    WTF is Bitron 4 Real?

    We also tested Zmax. I think it is mainly just a cleaner because it smelled strongly of acetone. Video: mms://stream.yourgalaxy.com/bitron/sgarage3zmax.wmv

    WTF is Bitron 4 Real?

    I'll try to get some local supra owners on camera with their feedback, and make some more web videos like the ones on my site. I'd like to also dyno test the products on camera as well, just gotta find the right place/car.

    What can I use to change my interior panels color?

    I'm going to use SEM brand sprays, after I've heard people are getting good results and adhesion. Be sure to buy the neccessdary preperation products too. I think they have separate paints for vinyl, plastic, and leather.

    ebay "godfather" wide fenders

    Fender flares look good on some cars, but not the Mk3 IMHO. I'm going widebody to keep the look clean

    Looks better. 89+ looks more modern.

    What kind of oil?

    I use Mobil 1 10w-30 plus Bi-Tron to reduce friction dramatically. (See sig)

    Starter going out???

    Is it worse when cold or hot? Could be old wiring, or it might be the starter.

    I've been boosting 15 psi on stock internals for almost 2 years now. I also use Bi-Tron (see my sig)
