Given what you've posted here, I would spend the ~$500 on some OEM (or turned, if you can get them done) rotors, a good set of pads, fresh fluid, and lines. If you plan on going with bigger wheels in the future, you might just save that money for the ARZ front kit. Hard to say, would depend on...

So what you're saying is that it's good to put baffles around the pickup to trap oil so that it doesn't go flying away from the pickup when making harsh maneuvers? I've seen a similar thing for the LS swapped Miatas... all sorts of fun trap doors to keep oil in a good spot. :) IIRC, the 1j had...

Washed and waxed it last weekend, went and took some pictures downtown: I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. Not too bad for a point/shoot camera, but waiting to see what my buddy Kyle got on his camera. Much nicer setup...

I test fit my Polk db501 (might be the 521, 5.25" speakers, I don't remember), they fit both in the doors and in the rear area. Really anything is possible if you are clever enough. Hell, I've seen 6x9's in the back of a Supra or two... NOT easy, but it can be done.

1.47? Congrats... Sounds like it's time for an IJ special 9"...

Your transmission is knocking? That's a new one to me... Have you inspected your clutch? Wait... did you recently change to a puck-style clutch?

Yeah, go ahead and PM Ronnie. ;)

New one for the day, potentially offensive to some I'm sure, but I subscribe to the school of thought that you can make fun of anyone you want, as long as you can make fun of yourself. "Why don't you see many Africans on cruise ships?" They're not falling for that one again...

What DT said above. Keep in mind, it's in their best interest to pay as little as possible. Don't let them bully you around. ;)

I understand the concept, but on the 1jz, your plug boots are on brackets in pairs. IIRC (it's been a while since I changed plugs), to pull one wire, you have to pull both due to the design on our engines. Aww, but getting zapped is half the fun man! :p Maybe your car wants to be an airplane...

You are correct on the constant blinking meaning that there are no codes... that are stored. Fuel cut in my experience only causes a brief CEL, but it doesn't stay stored. 2. Does fuel cut cause the CEL to come on? Yes, but only briefly. 4. My car idles @ about -12 HG. I figured this...

Happened to my old 88 right before I bought it actually, but for a completely opposite reason. It was December 7th, 194.. err... 2005, and it was a COLD sonofabitch here that day. -25°, some places as low as -30° (ambient by the way, count in another 20° colder from the wind chill). Anyway, the...

Albert's turbo rebuild thread: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?146063-Custom-CT26-CT12a-and-CT20-Upgrades Would be a good time to "upgrade" (I use that term lightly here) the y-pipe to the ebay y-pipe. Takes a bit of work/simple machining to get the flanges in good shape, but...

Hmm, do have to account for packaging supplies, hadn't thought of that... if you have to get special boxes for these, that could add up. I'm sure most of us (myself included) didn't give much thought to that.

That breaks my heart to see, is that your 92? For what it's worth, it looks like your car probably took that like a champ...

Please post a video or two of how that thing sounds when you do get it on? I'm not certain I've heard that one before...

Meaning that as your rpms rise, does the sound get faster? It will likely smooth out eventually (probably by the 3000rpm mark), but it gets worst in the early-mid 2000rpm range in my experience. I'll agree with the other posts, it sounds almost exactly like rod knock to me.

Ran Porterfield R4S pads on OEM rotors that were freshly turned. Worked well for a street car, probably not so much for a track application though. The ARZ kit can fit under many 17" wheels though, so if you can go that route, that would be my suggestion if you plan on abusing them. Plus, 17"...

I tend to beat the hell out of a car for a couple weeks before any long trips. If nothing breaks or does anything funny in the break in period, it should be good to go. Things can and do happen though, so be prepared: -tools (mostly just the basics, you probably won't be re-doing a bottom end...

I don't see any cars, just a couple of dry docked boats...
