Gave oxalic acid a shot for flushing rust particles out of my cooling system. OK I used 3 TB spoons of oxalic acid mixed in with distilled water after flushing the coolant out of my cooling system. Things looked great until i flushed and added the soda ash. A green/blue "film" formed on the...

Few pics after the spring buffing and waxing. I used a porter-cable dual action orbital buffer with: 1.CCS orange light cutting pad with Poorboys SSR1 2. CCS white polishing pad with Poorboys Polish 3. CCS gray finishing pad with Natty's paste wax Hoping to get more with some better...

Any body know the tq specs for the bolts holding the compressor housing to the center cartridge? This is on an sp61gt, but id imagine any aftermarket turbo would be similar (at least any garrett cold side). I want to clock it a bit differently but want to make sure it goes back on tightly...

Im scratching my head here... 89 7mgte 5 speed r-154. fresh mt90, shifter bushings, diff fluid. Re tq'd subframe bolts about 3-4 months ago. For the past 8 months ive noticed this what sounds like a knock or heavy rattle from 2nd gear only. -free rev = no noise -1,3,4,5= no noise. -fully...

trying to force open loop for maftpro ptt here and for the last 3 days pulling the nbo2 sensor has worked perfectly. However tonight i went to get a few logs and the ecus showing a vf signal and tossing my tune out the window.... anybody seen this before? o2 is not on the car! 89 7mgte stock...

you guys with the m-pro, care to post some logs with timing monitor working on your setup? Id liek to see what others are getting at various Rpm/psi/load points :icon_bigg please note if TM readings were verified with a timing light... heres mine to start: TM verified at IDLE ONLY for...

I just changed the trans fluid to the cheap 80w-90 supertech as a "flush" for the next few hundred miles. RL MT90 up next. I didnt pay attention to the GL specification on it but the tsrm says either is ok for the trans... What im hearing through the grapevine is GL5 is the devils urine...

My 89 has the harness and wiring for the pusher fan on the front of the condenser. It was removed by the previous owner and im adding a fan back in to help the ac out in traffic (90% of my driving conditions). Following the diagram from the tsrm relay #2 has to be energized to allow power to...

Ive been watching my coolant res. closely to try and gauge a "norm" but its not adding up to my limited knowledge. The res. level never rises much when i drive "normally" which is only a few psi when accelerating, ac on, stop and go traffic, cruising on the highway. basically anything except...

hate to start a thread for this but i can not find any pics of an undertray on an mkIII car to save my life. Does it cover all the way to the front lip? Up to just the IC or what? And how far behind the radiator does it go? Mine never had it and its a bit warm for my liking at idle and...

Ive collected all the parts i need to install the ac system on my 89. My concern is the flush of all the lines and condenser before i install it. Ive read many reviews online on what to use and how but it really seems to be a matter of opinion as to what flush is best and how to do it...

With my walbro, fuel flow decreases as pressure increases. How is it that i run richer when i increase base pressure considering flow is being decreased? Looking at charts that have been posted it would appear that you'd run richer with lower fuel pressure to a certain point (keeping...

I just got back from a movie and as we were walking in a forgot something in the supra. Ran back out there and saw a guy and his kid walking away from it with a note on my windshield. "CRAP! they hit it," runs through my mind. NOPE, they were admiring it and left a note asking to call them if...

Ran a few short blasts to 100mph against a buddies stang gt. First two where from 30 (horrible for me) as im either in boost in 2nd and spinning or in third an out of boost. Each run was a solid neck and neck run until i got a bit higher up in 4th and started walking away. Next one was...

i had to separate the inner and outer tie rods to replace the bellow. When they are connected there is no play up & down or side to side. No signs of a bad tie rod what so ever. however after i separated them the inner flops around like a noodle. No resistance to movement from the joint...

what would cause a very poor idle after a warm restart? it idles off the charts lean and misses along with right above 500 rpms for idle. Once i start driving and egts increase (above 500 degrees f) it smooths out and no issues even at idle. revs fine and only area that you can notice the...

anybody around here have some? ill drive to you just let me know need 3 2.75mm 2 2.85mm 1 2.95mm 1 3.05mm

i can feel the ridges on a few of them. Mainly near the cap meets the head, cam is ok except the 2nd bearing which has some groves i can feel. Head journals have pitting of little pieces and is fairly rough again mainly on the sides right where the cap meets the head. Is there anything i can...

My exhaust side camshaft is noisy, as in diesel sounding and loud. Just checked the clearances of the shims. A few were at .007 " and the greatest clearance was .009, would this cause the racket im hearing? This is border line per tsrm specs, is it worth it to get the shims closer to the...

Parts are on there way in and pics to follow by the weekend (assuming they come in on time). $43.30 = 2nd gen rx-7 oil cooler (built in thermo, and MASSIVE) LOST 5-8 PSI through the rpm band. Psi still within specs though. $4.21x 15ft aeroquip socketless hose (hell of a work out) $12.84 =...
