I have this same setup, have been using it daily since around this time in 2010. I have not been especially nice to it, and it is only now starting to show signs of a worn disc. For what its worth, I'm putting out around 350whp (with the boost turned up a bit), I would suspect torque is probably...

Buddy of mine who is a Mustang collector/hoarder seemed rather surprised that Supras came from the factory with a forged steel crank. I guess this is something fancy in the domestic world. That may be who said Tundra commercial is aimed at? As for the snap Ryan, I'm wondering what the #1...

I like how you say "probably" be retired. Sayings like that tend to lead to spending "just a little" bit of money on cars you never thought you would spend money upgrading, and before you know it, you have a toaster on wheels keeping up with the best of them out on the auto-x. :rofl: What...

Err... 70kg springs? That isn't a typo? I mean, I'm not the biggest fan of body roll, but that seems like a spring rate you might find on a medium duty truck...

Looks like you have a pretty mean moose in the works. ;)

Should be easy to see once you get the engine flipped over (drain the oil first ;) ), and pull the pan off. Sometimes you get lucky and your bearings are a bit worn, other times you've screwed the pooch like my motor did. I think mine had spun (where the bearing halves basically overlap each...

Dave... I've seen some shit in my time, but a Saturn Vue... on a track? You guys might be the only people in the history of the Saturn Vue to have ever done that. Surprised that thing didn't scrub for all its life. :p

Man, now if only someone did this sort of thing for 1j's... or any manifolds for 1j's for that matter. :rolleyes: Not giving you any flack Nathan, your work looks nice for all the more time you have into it. Would love to see the Volvo in question if you happen to have any pictures of it...

My money is on a wiring issue. Have you checked your TSRM yet? ;)

I always thought it was best to loop those heater lines if you don't use them, rather than cap them? But yeah... F that pipe on the rear of the 7m head. Was SO grateful for the redesign on the 1j when I got to looking at it when I got mine...

Welcome aboard Nick. I spy a red MkIV in the background there... they more common down there? Oh wait, you're in Utah. Seems to be quite a few of them down there from what I can tell. Anyway, I would have kept the Mazdaspeed3 if you could swing both. My girlfriend has had one for the last 5 or...

Talk to Albert on here if you want to stick with twins. I'm still on the side of the fence that a properly sized modern single turbo will wipe the floor with 20 year old twin technology. This coming from a guy who keeps up with his buddies with singles because they went way too big but don't...

Wouldn't believe how often I get told that my car is FWD by people who don't know... or a 4 cylinder. :nono:

So... plans for this truck? I'm guessing its a baja style truck?

HFCS is disgusting. I'm not exactly an old timer, but I distinctly remember soda tasting better in the 80's and early 90's. I too have a thing for craft sodas, surely you have had Henry Weinhard (my go-to for the best soda I can get locally) or Boylan (can't get it here anymore, but any time I...

Probably going to be going with either CCW's or Works once I figure out exactly what I want, but thanks for the heads up! :)

Nothing wrong with something like that as a second car, but I find that most people buying them really couldn't care less about driving. A car is a tool to most people to get from point A to point B. Then again, this does not apply to all people with cars like this, "drivers" treat each car...

Most definitely rod knock you have there sir. In the second video it is a lot less obvious, but it isn't a problem that fixes itself unfortunately. As for what to do at this point, it would be smart to make sure your DD is up for a few months of steady service. From there, pull the 7m, and tear...

What about silicone caps, how hard are those to find? The silicone lines I've used for vacuum/washer fluid/anything else I could at the time on my car have held up quite nicely over nearly 3 years of daily driving. Now, the few rubber lines on the other hand...
