    Global Warming is over. (Really, it is. No joke.)

    What the lefities did was measure temps in cities, where it will be warmer. Just like a dyno, you can manipulate to get numbers you want. Here is a nice read or two. I will highlight for the left the important facts in this oped. Global warming is hot air The Denver Post December 12, 1997...

    oil pressure gauge..

    These are your choices 1. no oil pressure 2. the sending unit doesnt work 3. wiring 4. the gauge doesnt work. Use a mechanical tester and make sure you have oil pressure. If you run the car all the time, then that isnt it. Obviously. If you are reading zero or very low, gauge may not...

    7m Intake vs FFI

    If you dont plan on racing competetively and need every ounce of power why bother with fabrication. The Cartech unit flows way better and cools much better than stock. And it is about 800 less than HKS and Greddy. I understand "cleaning up" the engine bay, it just isnt worth the work to me.

    HKS or MSD?

    On an extreme end, MSD is used by just about every top fuel and funny car team. They make a very good product. But yes, some of the higher hp Supras Ive seen that needed an upgrade did HKS. I remember one commenting the MSD just didnt work on our Supra well.

    Calling all the 1 Piece driveshafters

    The clutch disc became slightly warped when stabbing the trans. If you had to jiggle the trans a bit to get it to fit, that is when it happened.

    rod knock or somthing else?

    Whomever told you that is mistaken. Real rodknock, or spun bearing will knock as soon as you start, and often quiet down a bit after the oil circulates. Just as you described. It could also be the cam journal is scoured, as it doesnt have bearings. Or both, as I have seen that often on...

    You know what I realized, I am the one that is out of step with the rest of the internet community. Because I just dont relate one drop to any of this thread. My dead ass reliable Toyota is something I just dont ever have to think about. Any of them. I guess I got lucky. I dont call it...

    I can help solve our national deficit

    That pretty much isnt true. A falsehood put out by an extremist left wing site. When we tried these leftist policies the last time with Jimmy Carter, oil went to $40 a barrel in 1980 dollars. That is about $80 today, easily more than what it is now. What the left wants, is high oil prices...

    my super crappy dyno sheets...

    Does the ecu pull timing when it detects something amiss with the cam timing? No. The ECU has to detect a noise from the sensor. He wont pre-ignite if he doesnt have full cylinder pressure. You need air/fuel ratio, compression, and spark timing to get combustion. How does the spark...

    Pros and Cons of Hood Sound Deadening Material

    I have seen them burn too, while still atached to the hood. I hadnt heard of it trying to be a fire suppressant, and that includes Toyota. Ive seen plenty of non turbo cars with it. Im pretty sure it is sound deadener/paint saver.
