    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    Old, I know. When was it illegal, and when did it become legal? Meaning an AR style in 16 inch barrel. Part of the scary looking weapon ban of 1994? Or older than that? I just bought (last summer) my M4 variant. RRA in 6.8 SPC. The round is a .270 Winchester in a rimless .30 necked down...

    Where did the oil go?

    You won't see smoke for a quart of oil in 500 miles. Sorry, but it is only one of two things. You are burning it, and you are, or it leaks. I guess the oil gnome is the correct third choice.

    Auto Trans Control...?

    Sorry to be a bit off topic, but an ATX is a brand name for Ford front wheel drive transmissions. And great big piles of pooh at that.

    Everybody's build thread! Pics of before and after...

    Not much difference under the hood, or the body. I bought it with an impact on the right rear quarter. I was going to have it done, but didn't get around to it until a Yukon decided to text while driving. Getting fixed at the body shop for the dent and the tail light/wing/LR quarter...

    Any MK3 Turbo Autos running the AEM EMS?

    The auto trans computer needs a couple of signals from the engine control unit. You should be able to send the signals over if you are going stand alone.

    What about a summer daily driver and winter daily driver?

    using etanol on supras

    Can you scan that info? I haven't seen it. Then again, I haven't dealt with automotive in some time.

    7mge no start

    You have to test the large wire on the starter. It has constant power. The small one is switch power from the ignition. The antitheft, clutch start, neutral start are all in that circuit. If you don't have power on the small wire when cranking, you need to check the circuit and those switches in it.

    using etanol on supras

    How about more detail, since US pumps are typically 10% anyway. You gain no power from a fuel with lower BTU content, all else being equal. If you are running 89 all the time in your Supra Turbo, you are losing power from stock. The ethanol, if you found something a little higher, will raise...

    7m-gte auto trans ?

    No. There is no MA71 model. 1 is the series in the VIN indicating turbo model.

    Who has the best looking mk3

    I am also preferential to stock clean bodies. Lowered with MKIV wheels is perfectly acceptable.

    The Luxocruiser 3650 lb sled thread

    I ordered a new Toyota radiator and the upper and lower hose. From Champion naturally. Next will be all four TEMS replacements from Tokiko. The maintenance on a 19 year old car has to happen before the bigger turbo.

    Tranny noises?? **Video Added

    When something heats up, it expands. This can take up a gap or freeplay.

    automatic trans issue

    So you drove home a wrecked car? Elaborate on that. There may have been problems with it, such as a lack of fluid. And driving it home ruined it.

    A/C removal/delete

    While I am not with this mod, the weight is a good amount to remove from the nose. I think you should save all the parts for later installation.
