    Flat Black supra pic edit please.

    FYI, going from gloss to flat is one of the hardest photoshop tasks around.

    Centralia May 16th - Big Supra meet in Washington

    Whidbey island has some scenery that has to be seen to be believed - Deception pass comes to mind. Imagine the photos you could get on that...

    Centralia May 16th - Big Supra meet in Washington

    Hey, it's not my superstition, I borrowed it from the previous generation, and I hear they borrowed it from the one before that. God only knows how far back it goes. I made it back fine as well, had a great time and I'm glad I went.

    Centralia may 16

    Had a great time. Thanks to all the folks who helped get this set up and organized. Fantastic turnout, I counted 56 cars - and I left out the Mustang, the AC Cobra, the Miata, and a couple others. :)

    Compression Check Results

    There aren't any vac lines connected to the crankcase / valve covers. If you're blowing vac lines off, it's likely from boost, and you're going to need to clamp the vac lines.

    Valve buckets & shims got all mixed up (Stupid red squirrel!!!!)

    I did this once... only I didn't have a convenient fall guy in the form of a squirrel - I turned the head upside down to examine the bottom, and everything fell out. First of all, I cleaned everything up... used paint thinner, but anything will work. Then let it dry. Then I measured all the...

    Name this switch.

    The first one is supposed to be another coin holder. Unless you live in Germany, as I recall they have a headlight leveler there. The second one is supposed to be the headlight washer button.

    Seattle Outlet Malls?

    A friend of mine is heading to Seattle for the weekend, and she wants to hit up some outlet malls for shopping. It's been more than a while since I've spend any real time down there... and being male, shopping really has never been my thing anyway. Anything that the locals would suggest?

    I haven't really been tracking the posts in the NW forum... I figured I'd sneak in there later tonight and find something that matches my schedule.

    Antisurge/Ported Shrouds

    That makes a whole lot more sense. So this is the solution to something ENTIRELY different from what your BOV prevents. Thanks guys.

    Help; excessive crank case oil pressure

    The problem is not the oil pressure, it's the fact that your cylinders aren't sealing during combustion. That means one of a very few things: - cracked head (VERY tough to do without breaking the water jackets as well) - holes in the pistons - blowby past the rings - valves not sealing properly...

    Antisurge/Ported Shrouds

    Seems logical to me. It's essentially adding a 'leak' to the pressurized portion of the intake tract, right?

    Antisurge/Ported Shrouds

    I'm not sure I understand. Doesn't this increase the time it takes to build boost?
