    I house sat for my brother for a few months in 01 in Louisville just off South Boulder Road. Lived in Denver for a decade. I had 2 MA70's,one after the other, then a 5.0, then 2 more MA70's at the same time. Then I left.

    Attn: 7M-GTE to 1JZ-GTE Owners

    Well it is true. Torque is easier to produce than revs, in the HP forumla, and by the way, boost is artificial displacement. I think the reason some did it was the 1JZ was a purpose built motor, and that purpose was high performance. The 7M was still appealing to the masses.

    Know why Jesus wasn't born in Michigan? Three wiseman and a virgin could not be found.

    The dynasty begins

    While trolling ebay, I came across these two nuggets. Reminders of the 86.5-1992 first generation Supra. According to the ad, it was a sales training aid for the newest model from Toyota, the Supra. Named after and inspired by the now defunct Celica Supra.

    Is his name "Mitch" and do you ask him to unleash the fury?

    Blah blah blah, 9/11 conspiracy, a plane has hit the Pentagon? What do you think?

    Al-Queda and the ring of Muslim terrorists have hit US targets many times prior to the attacks on 9-11, in retaliation for the US basing Desert Shield and Desert Storm out of his former homeland, of which his family disowned by the way. Bin Laden publicly declared he would hi-jack planes and...

    Differentials explained(Torsen, LSD, etc): Old article, but a good one!

    So if his Z28 had 3.42 instead of 2.73, he would have had it then I assume...

    abs? or bad brakes?

    Of course it feels weird hitting a pothole. Test on a normal surface.

    LSD Question

    Yes. It is a limited slip, not a no slip. A perfectly functioning LSD can have two different length tire marks. Uneven torque is applied to the wheels. But you could just be overpowering the worn unit.

    Blah blah blah, 9/11 conspiracy, a plane has hit the Pentagon? What do you think?

    Ask the survivors where the relatives are if they plane wasnt hijacked. There isnt video, but that probably wouldnt matter either. There is video of JFK having his right front half of the head blown out, yet people insist he was shot from the front. Conspiracy people are always the ones that...

    What Exactly Causes The 7M I6 BHG's ?

    The only ones I have dealt with were GE's actually. It isnt anything with this particular engine. Ever hear of the the Ford Taurus, Dodge Neon, Toyota 4 Runner, etc? All have the same design. As mentioned by somebody esle in this thread, and thousands of other times it gets asked, the engine...

    300 zx

    That car is on my all time favorite car list. TT would be preferred, but it is still a great riding car.

    I stepped over the line

    Not in some time. They ran an 11.80 in a Road @ Track flogging. That is still blazing fast by today's standards. Like I said, It was unproffessional to not seperate good people from the cheesedicks. And I am honestly sorry it.

    I'm getting sick of my fellow americans.

    They are. It is a scale. How far you are down it is the determing factor. I am overweight. I go 6'2" and about 230 lbs. I shouldn't weigh but 200-210. That however is far from obese, the technical description for an alarming number of Americans. The internet needs grammar police. And I think...

    cooling issue still persists...

    I feel for you. Some tough weather, I know.

    Air in cooling system

    In 99 while still at Toyota, I asked about the block. When low on coolant, these cavitate at the rear and will overheat the back of the block near cylinders 5 and 6. Just by design of the block.
