Talk to Marcus with Central Composites (check the group buy section for the raised cowl CF hoods), he made a handful of them for our cars, and people seem to like them. :)

Because America, unfortunately. Some places are more forgiving than others. Where I live, 5 or 6 before they finally hurt you with the fines and jail time isn't all that uncommon. Frankly, I say ONE is forgivable (with reasonably high fines, few days in jail to cement the idea of "don't do that...

Daily drove with both a 7m and 1j with the RSR. I can impart the following: -on a 7m, it sounds great. Like a 50's American pickup until about 3k, then it sounds like a different beast. -on a 1j, it sounds like a pissed off, large displacement sport bike. Great fun, unless you're on a 1000 mile...

JJ nailed it. For the time being, the passenger door will work. Didn't know you could open the hatch to cancel it... I guess it is a "door" and all, at least according to my registration. :p I remember being a fresh Supra owner, with my car stranding itself because I didn't understand the alarm...

High five! With such classy Chevies with Lambo doors, it is a wonder you placed at all! :sarcasm:

Pipes must have been pressed together pretty nicely to avoid having much of a leak with that going on haha... nice carnage picture. From heat I presume?

Drive like an asshole away from each stop sign, and explain to the friendly constable that your clutch doesn't work if you drive like a normal person? Seriously though, you have my sympathy sir. My car gets touchy if I'm driving through neighborhoods too much too. Clutch tends to get awfully...

I'm also curious where you came up with the math for that... I mean, it is a good amount of weight, and it is a decent foot or so ahead of the axle line, but equivalent to shifting the 400+ lbs motor 11" further back? You'd be a fool not to do it. However, I plan on relocating mine to where the...

They don't look too bad, but I'd have to see them on a car. Looks almost like carefully applied Plastidip...

Or... you know... use a proper size turbo for the power output you want? On topic though, while I love the compound idea, there are two small problems with it: -Room to put stuff, you don't have much (Seth of Sleeper Designs did a 7m compound setup, which leads me to my next point...)...

Nothing to sneeze at there, congrats. :) Takes its time to get there though, how does it drive with a turbo that big?

No luck fitting the 5.25" up front huh? I'm thinking different manufactures make speaker frames different sizes. mine went in without much trouble at all. Then again, they could have been 5" speakers, which would explain why yours didn't fit and I'm just confused...

My left nut. Who do I have to give it to to sign up for this? That is pretty clever indeed... may have to borrow that idea just in case. :)

Jonah, are you opposed to running a water/methanol injection setup? Might be good for low speed driving (auto cross?), and things of that sort. I know Flyin Miata used this in place of an intercooler (no space) on their Miata powered Westfield. http://www.flyinmiata.com/westfield/Torgan/index.php

So, what you're saying is that if we were to take my car along with a mobile dyno down to sea level, then bring it back up here (along with the same dyno), and try to do the testing under as-close-as-is-realistically-possible conditions, then my car would make more power at sea level, even...

Long as it is above freezing, it is top down / bike weather, right? :rofl: Got some funny looks, bundled up with the heater on and targa off/roof down around here... Kinda hard to ride year round if half the year is covered in snow. ;)

Nsx has it in the front for the same reason... gotta spread the weight! :p Plus, on the Supras, it is way out there in front of the axle... not a good place for 50lbs.

To be honest... hadn't even gave it much thought (if any) until the widebody stuff was already on the way. Would be done already if not for buying a house a little over a year ago. :p Coilovers, best way to go if you can afford it. TH Motorsports is having a group buy on a nice set here...

Why doesn't that second pic qualify? Seems like a very nicely done car. I think I remember a VERY similar paint job in one of the Forza games years ago...

The Celica All-Trac/GT4 used a WTA setup, but it used coolant, and an external radiator. Granted, it might not run as well, but it was contained under the hood... I just can't find a good excuse to carry around that much extra weight for the additional 10-20hp that I could see something like...
