    Vegas: Looking for a driving partner

    Oh, that's easy. He'll be rolling through 19 days ago. (The Vegas event was finished nearly 3 weeks ago...)

    and I thought I had problems......

    The bushes on the front walk look fine. What are they, asbestos plants??? Seriously, though, stuff like this sucks.

    Pressure plate bolt question

    He is looking at the wrong page. He is looking at this page: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291420/catalog.aspx?F=3101&P=1 And he SHOULD be looking at THIS page: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291420/catalog.aspx?F=3101&P=2 Leads me to believe that he's just not that...

    How rare are 89-92 Supra Turbo Hardtop 5 speeds?

    I'm pretty sure it's a geographic thing. Up here, there are always more hardtops at the meets than targas, by a significant amount. Keep in mind it rains more often than not around here, so targas are at a bit of a disadvantage.

    Pressure plate bolt question

    Yup... looks like they gave you part # 90119-08026 for the W58, when you wanted part # 90119-08322 for the R154. 90119-08322 is about twice as long.

    rod knock, how long will an engine last?

    Entirely too variable to call. I've seen rod knock destroy a rod and put a hole in the block in under 50 miles, and I've seen cars drive thousands of miles without any extra damage.

    Magnetic Oil Drain Plug

    There is a reason for that. Anything magnetic that is big enough to do damage should getfiltered out at the oil filter.

    Some Simple Tricks for Saving Money

    And if you think eating out is expensive, try tracking how much it costs for booze and cigarettes. The reason that I have so much more nice stuff than all my friends from school 20+ years ago is that I haven't spent a dime on liquor or smokes. Instead, I have a Supra that gobbles up spare...

    Pressure plate bolt question

    Errr... it's a well documented fact that the SPEC pressure plate (at least for stage 1, 2, or 3) *is* a Toyota PP that's been painted blue. Hell, it still says Toyota on the casting! Is the pressure plate properly aligned and on the dowel pins?

    LOL - this again. Here is some free advice. Forget about trying to 'game' the test. You *MAY* get away with it once. Twice is extremely unlikely, and three times... well, I've never seen anyone pull it off, mostly because the guys administering the tests can tell you're fucking with the...

    Cover, Dust Proof?

    Pretty sure that you can get that shipped to you from either Jay Marks (Champion) Toyota in Texas or Mark Sherman from Vancouver Toyota in Washington. Or if you want one that won't EVER wear out, ARZ Performance makes one that's cut from billet aluminum. I have one of these, they are awesome.

    SILV08 MkIII Drags - a little help needed

    I've got a bunch of video from the drags, but I missed the first hour or so, and of course I have no idea who is running a 7M and what transmission. Duane might know some of those details, and he's due to help me write up comments for the vids so I can get them properly uploaded to Youtube.

    Can anyone clear up these computer specs/stats for me?

    More to the point, what are you going to use the machine for when it's done? If you are surfing the web and answering email, none of this is a concern. If, on the other hand, you like playing high powered games or need to build a high end CAD workstation, you've got some work to do.

    Silicone Heater Hose Should I, if so where from?

    I bought my clamps at my local automotive parts place... not tough to find at all. Mind you, I have a store local that carries every AN fitting, too. :) I've been looking for a turbo blanket that works with an internal wastegate. My manifold is already ceramic coated, but it's a bored out...

    Official Samco 7m hose sets.

    I'd buy one of the kit 2 sets if they become available.

    Silicone Heater Hose Should I, if so where from?

    Yes, absolutely. Worm clamps chew up silicone fast.

    Volt Gauge Reading

    Or drive your car into one of the many places that will check your charging system for free. Or take it into the battery shop after you have it installed and let them take a look at it, then it will be on record that they checked your work.

    Silicone Heater Hose Should I, if so where from?

    I have new rubber hoses in those locations already, but due to close proximity to the exhaust manifold / turbo, those two hoses degrade fast. Does the Samco kit replace everything?
