    calling all wiring gurus

    I looked up the Toyota page on electrical repairs. Crimp it, then fill with solder. Don't solder the wire alone, it is not strong enough.

    How are these people running our country?

    Funny, people pay to make their car faster, but think the internet should be free.

    Weight

    If you want to build a drag car, start with something else. If you are trying to build an MA70 drag car, that is different. Seems like somebody gutted his down to about 3100. Jeff Gore maybe.

    Suspension Issues

    Stock suspension is a coil over. The factory shocks are not real stiff. They have no need to be for most drivers. The suspension will maintain tire contact patch with its SLA design. A stock like replacement shouldn't be very stiff at all. Or yours are defective.

    Something new to bicker about...engine or motor?

    Detective Callahan sported a Smith and Wesson 629. And yeah, powerful weapon.

    The M193 round was real good. The M855 round being heavier, with the A2 barrell, is even better. With the iron sights you can fire multiple aimed shots quickly. The scope detracts from that. Not the accuarcy part obviously. Talk about a thread hijack.:biglaugh: What has Canada done different...

    Spoiler... How the hell?

    I think they look best without.

    Why not higher compression ratio??

    8.5:1 is unecessarily low in my opinion. If you are forged, I would experiment with higher static numbers. And I had money to burn.

    Is this a good deal?

    That is my question too. Fiberglass hoods are very big in the aftermarket world, just not for us.:nono: Much lighter than stock, and not a retail rip off like carbon fiber.

    what should i expect?

    "More lag" is a myth. Pressure is resistance to flow. I suppose if you put huge pipes and a huge cooler on a 1.6, you could have more lag. Not in our case. I don't think you can put a big enough one behind the bumper to have that happen.

    Can you start it?

    Yep. And much easier to install with out a lift in my opinion.

    Auto Modifications

    Well, I read your thread on SF about a year ago. So I know you aren't full of shit. And I think you have sat through a bunch of drivetrain classes also.That being said, the position at Toyota is that the fluid is not interchangable. That is what we were told. But this position is more towards...

    Well, I did it AGAIN!

    It is clean looking. And I know you have more sense than to rice it out.

    The M16 was developed(In part) for quick follow up shots on the modern battlefield, unlike the trench warfare that came to an end at WWI. When very long shots were taken. Not to different than having super swampers on a Supra.

    The only Celicas worth a shit are the Celica GTS, CelicaSupra, and All-Trac Turbo.

    another head gasket thread..

    Seems like max warp is ".0039. More than that and you are to disgard the head. The metal headgaskets are there to take up the void left from decking. OEM gasket, you must follow the discard the numbers in the repair manual for head and block. Or you will blow it again. I don't mean you...
