    Valve Spring Replacement w/ Head on ?

    I just have to say, the rope idea is probably one of the most brilliant things I've ever heard of. It's worthy of being on one of those budweiser "Real men of genius" commercials! Mr. valve spring replacement rope idea inventor!

    when i shift hard, I see smoke come through my shifter boot

    Hahaha! I roffled at your title. What color is it? I'm going to take a wild guess and say your exhaust is leaking somewhere near the shifter boot, probably where the downpipe meets the cat. It could be as easy as changing a gasket or tightening some bolts, or you might have a hole in your...

    Faces to Names 2: The Reckoning

    IJ: No offense taken, I suppose you've figured it out by now though =) Just curious, how did you get your cars up on the curb...? Reign: :puke: Suprahero: I woulda thought you'd be one of them "camero" fans... Thanks for the hair compliments. I never expected it to actually look good...

    DDP - To recirc, or not to recirc.

    I thought it would only open at high oost when the wastegate was fully open but stupid me didn't think about the fact that the wastegate slowly opens throughout the boost range, not just when max boost hits. Hopefully the EBC I have on the way will help though =)

    Anyone ever dye or paint their interior?

    I used VHT interior dye and it turned out great, much better than I expected from dye in a can. Very durable, but you have to perp the surfaces very well since it actually soaks into the vinyl instead of covering it like paint.

    The Homo Blue Poopa is gone :(

    :yelrotflm Too many men hitting on you? :gaybar: Sad to see your blue car go, it's honestly the only light blue car I've ever liked. An M3 isn't a bad replacement though =)

    Faces to Names 2: The Reckoning

    :icon_lol: It's hilarious how everyone looks like about what you'd expect them to look like from their username and the posts they make. I'd be curious to find out what everyone's first name is too, I like trying to guess the names of strangers. Some people just look like a "Bob" or a "Jane!"...

    DDP - To recirc, or not to recirc.

    You know, you bring up a good point. I had been trying to think of one good reason the open might be better than the recirculated... it really does make me stay light on the throttle! People around here are easily scared by loud noises so I have to keep quiet =)

    another supra has been lost, i am sorry :(

    Once again our cars prove they are tanks that in the end protect the owners when it counts, no matter how many little cuts and grazes they give us while we work on them =) Glad you're both pretty much ok. 70 km/h is pretty fast to be going head on into concrete O_o

    MKIII rips up the Autobahn South course

    Wow that is extremely impressive driving! Especially on just 12 psi on the stock CT.

    DDP - To recirc, or not to recirc.

    Just my 2 cents... Go with recirculated. I went with the open DDP and regret it due to loudness (some exhaust gases will still leak from the little wastegate tube when the gate is closed unless your metal plate is exactly flush with the turbo's exhaust housing). The power gains are supposed...

    Let's rebuild a wiring harness.

    My harness has those bundles of spliced wires near the ECU. I don't think it's fire damage, I think it's someone swapping yellow plugs for grey plugs or vice versa. My plugs were grey for the ECU and were clearly spliced since all the engine to body harness connectors were still the yellow style...

    Raced a Lingenfelter Corvette!!

    Maybe he just had a Ligenfelter supercharger? Regardless, that's a pretty impressive win! What modifications does your car have?

    I know there are many "#" threads but..

    Except a Toyota 22RE =) And sadly, 7Ms aren't quite as stout as the JZs unless you build them right and take care of them, which doesn't happen that often.

    what member do you think has the nicest MKIII ?

    +2 Though the color of his car sways my opinion a lot =) There are plenty of other ones I would probably put on an equal level if they were black. A certain blue one comes to mind... but the color of it means it loses approximately 129.3 cool points.

    How old were you when you got your first Supra?

    Add another 16 to the list. These cars seem cheap enough now that very young drivers can afford them. The initial cost at least =)

    Awesome! It' about time someone did this =) I remember having to dig through quite a few pages of posts to find out what LEDs I needed.
