    Best tire size for a 17x9 rim?

    255 is used instead of 275, because the 275 is taller, changing your overall gear ratio, and making the speedo inaccurate.

    interference or non interference?

    Either he isn't a Toyota Tech, or you are full of it. That is if he didn't know.

    You are up early. ^ The j-tube is bypassed/removed when you install the 255 LP/H pump, and not the bigger injectors, correct?

    Going on a date Friday, what should I do?

    What kind of thread is this? I guess be sure to wash your balls before you go.

    This is how tax cuts really work

    Any way you spin it, Hitler is left wing. Left wing doesn't mean you are anti-semitic. It just so happened that the psycho was. Calling him right wing has been the biggest "liberal bias" event of the 20th century, to try and get people to vote for Democrats. Not to mention one of the biggest...

    Intercooler question

    I suppose going straight across is best, but with the intercooler routing, you lose that benifit. Just some interesting reading. I found a page somewhere, don't remember where, the HKS also is much more efficent than stock. Which goes with out saying I suppose.

    Changing Discs & Pads on '88 N/A w/ABS

    The cap has a sensor in it. That light tells you when to put pads on. You don't want to go to low, but you won't if you replace them when the light comes on.

    Code 12

    If I remember right, 12 is an interuption of the G or N signal. That is RPM and crank/cam position. Do you have a tach? Does it pulse when you crank the car?

    good place to buy a turbo manifold?

    I can't even decide on a turbo, so I guess I don't care about a manifold yet.

    Changing Discs & Pads on '88 N/A w/ABS

    What are you talking about? Changing discs and pads doesn't require hydrualic work unless there is a caliper problem. Take the lower bolt out on the caliper and loosen the uppper. Lift the caliper. If it doesn't push in with a caliper press tool, it is hand held and usually 5 bucks, then you...

    oil pump gear exploded today...WTF

    While some 500 lb/ft isn't directly applied, much of it is. I suppose a little fatigue plus big ass torque eaquals boom.

    7M-GE + Supercharger?

    Getting ahold of a twin screw and fabricating it to the car would be tremendous for street power.

    7M-GE + Supercharger?

    Depends on the type of supercharger. The most common has the most "lag" Old Roots style blowers, and the newer(sort of) twin screw come on nearly instantly. The centrifugal supercharger makes its rated psi in a kit at engine redline. A supercharger puts heavy drag on the crank though. Take...

    Read what? That Germany was economically in ruins? So was most of the world. http://www.zum.de/whkmla/region/germany/turm2023.html Being a butcher has nothing to do with where you stand on the political spectrum. But it is the left that tries to do those things. And the left calls their...
