PM Duane - upgradedsupra, he just finished this swap.

Mine too, but that's not my fault. Fucking uncles! :D

Tough to use the plastic stub on the R154 tranny due to the pull assembly on the pressure plate. You would need an EXTRA long plastic stub, and I've never seen one more than about 4 inches long. Yes, if you put the pressure plate in backwards, it will not work properly. #4 points towards the...

You won't find many people who have done this. I was driving in the country, at 12:20am, doing ~115. Following a buddy of mine in his Rx7, I was driving my '82 Celica, we were heading up camping. Buddy had the headlights on high, I didn't, as it would have been blinding in his rear view...

First word you can teach your new nephew: TITS. :D

The side with the extra little plate goes towards the pressure plate, away from the flywheel. It's easy to put it back in. Put the pressure plate and disc on the input shaft on the tranny side. Bolt the tranny bellhousing to the block. Have someone spin the engine using the front main pulley...

Nice job. I've been a fan since I was a teen, and that's a damn long time by now. Pro wresting is great for having the guys over for pizza, beer, and shoot the breeze. It's guys like you that ensure I keep paying for cable! :)

Good advice here. Figure out what you're willing to do to help, set boundaries for yourself, and stop every Sunday evening to think about whether you're still happy with the boundaries you've set and whether you're overstepping them. PS: It does get better. Among other things, Uncles are...

Sounds like you're going to need to lawyer up. In many states there are rules that exempt cars built for racing. Check to see if you've got one of those.

No. Mainfolds don't fit on either block. Neither do manifolds. They bolt to the head. And yes, either manifold bolts to the head.

Yes, and in this case it makes sense. It's still going to make more power than the stock engine without the turbo, and there just isn't room to put a turbo and all the related piping in an FJ's engine bay that I can see.

No point doing this in a Supra, we have more than enough room up front. Less exhaust piping between the engine and the turbo is a good thing. Smaller volume in your intercooler piping is likewise better.

Agreed. Arguing with the police is pointless, they can't change squat. Take it up with the government, that's where you can make a difference.

For the dash lights, check the dimmer... if it fails, (or if it's turned all the way down! :)) the dash lights stop working. :)

Well, this is true to a point. Traffic cops are *supposed* to be there to back up the rules of the road, and the way they do this is to eat up your time and money by forcing you to pay fines or listen to lectures on your driving behavior. And this is a good thing when they are applying it to...

That's not street racers, that's stupid young punk kids. Anyone who drives fast enough that they can't avoid kids on the road in a residential area is dumber than a bag of hammers, and deserves to get reamed by the local LEO. So, is it illegal to fire your gun in the air on your own property...

Picture of said metal plate? I don't think you need to use them, but just to be sure, post a pic.
