    VIR oct 3-5

    Wow that's awesome! How did your team do? I mainly watched the Koni GS race, but kept an eye on the ST race all Saturday. That little cobalt was fast! I was there Sat/Sun and went through the area next to the pits about 5 times looking at all the awesome cars. I had my gunmetal grey MKIII...

    First dyno run

    Thanks all. This was on a JDM 7M that was opened up and inspected, and a HKS MHG and ARP studs were installed. The valves were reshimmed because of bad clearances. My DDP is from zwmotorsports.com. It was cheap, but doesn't fit too well =\ Still, I can't complain, because it works. My RS-R...

    First dyno run

    Took the Supra for its first dyno run! Made a max of 270 rwhp/280 rwtq at 10 psi. All 3 runs were pretty close to each other and A/Fs were surprisingly ok. I didn't expect it to be this high but I'm not complaining =) The first two were done right after I arrived from a 20 minute trip on the...

    Help me please

    Okay, so my girlfriend was supposed to come over to my house today because I was going to go take her to a movie. She lives about 20 minutes away, and the movie we were supposed to see started at 4:15, which was in about 40 minutes. I figured "cool, I'll just play Pokemon while I wait". So...

    "awesome" 240sx on ebay

    Wow... at least he used the S14. It's a bit rounder an matches the 350z front a bit better than the S13. Doesn't stop it from being really weird.... My question is why in the world use a 7M? I mean it's not that bad of an engine but to be completely honest if I were doing an engine swap into...

    New Owner 1989 Hardtop Turbo (Pics and ?'s)

    Wow, those wheels are amazing! Black's my favorite supra color too =) How do those eibachs w/tokicos perform? I might be salvaging my old eibachs from my other shell and buying some tokicos to fix my bouncing car problem.

    Just ordered a new '92 Engine harness

    A good number of people go with new harnesses... I think I would benefit from one myself but I have to get my chassis harness sorted out first.

    Rattling from Valves near CPS

    Yep, I had it pretty bad. After adjusting the valve shims it got a lot better, but the valves still make a bit more noise than I'd like. The shims are all well within spec too =( I guess our valves just make lots of noise.

    Sawblade Tire Refitting

    I like the 225s. It's the size the wheel was designed for and personally I love how the tire sidewall is flush with the wheel and not bulging out like most tires seem to be. I'm not even sure if 245s would increase your contact patch unless it were lower pressure. Someone who knows more about...

    DIY Camera Rig

    I can't wait to see the pictures you get from this contraption =) I am also wondering, does this mount go on the car pictured or another car next to the car being pictured? I imagine having it on the car being pictured would need a lot of photoshopping to get the bars out =\

    3rd gear wtf!!!?

    Tags: 3rd, gear, wtf =) For some reason my third gear doesn't feel like it pulls very hard at all. Everyone else says theirs is da bomb shizzle but oddly enough I'm most impressed with how easily I can accelerate on the highway to pass people staying in 5th gear. Maybe I need to run third to...

    3rd gear wtf!!!?

    What do you mean by "not do anything"? Does the engine just stay at 1200 rpms? Does it die? Does the car just accelerate slower than you expected? I find my third gear doesn't have the pulling feel of second at lower rpms. Actually I feel like my car isn't pulling very hard at all anytime...
