He was turning the crank pulley *by hand*. Not with a wrench. No wonder he can't get it past the compression stroke.

I'm in too. See you there.

Damn. You should have called ahead of time, I'd have taken you out for lunch.

While I'm not fond of the end result, I have to point out that wishing someone would shuffle off this mortal coil because of work done to a car is at least a bit over the top.

Seriously? I had you pegged as my age, ~40. I guess you post far in advance of your years. :) I've had bad days working on the Supra, sure... but I don't remember most of them, instead, I remember the good times cruising, racing at the strip, and so on. The one that comes to mind is from...

JZ fans are like Apple fans. Sure, they've got a good product, but they make a disproportionate amount of noise for how many actual end users are out there.

Err... it *might* be on the other side for RHD vehicles, I'm not sure about the layout.

He can't be all bad, he has goats.

His user name is noxide, he was online 4 days ago.

QFT. These were made by upgradedsupra when he was running CFX. If you're lucky, one will pop up on ebay or on a part out.

qft.

That might have been true if you were purchasing the 'vette in the USA. And it certainly hasn't been true since the Ariel Atom was released, that thing will kick the piss out of a 'vette any day of the week for a fraction of the cost no matter where you're buying it.

You neglected to mention the 'launch mode'. Press a button, put it in gear, press the gas all the way to the floor and let off the brake. Voila! Computer controlled perfect launches every time.

No, it's a special type of head gasket that carves out an 'O-ring' around the cylinders, then fills this with a special copper gasket.

Your turbo is very unlikely to leak coolant into the exhaust. By very unlikely, I mean you can essentially stop pursuing that angle - it's never happened that I'm aware of, and if it did, the CHRA in the turbo would have to be massively wrecked, causing a lot more problems than just a bit of...

Agreed on the mass not changing bit. However, the volume and pressure do change, by quite a bit, depending on location. Air at sea level isn't even vaguely close to what is in my intake manifold at 20 pounds of boost. I currently run MAP, which uses a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor...

I vote for turtle, skeletal system be damned. And it's sick that New York folks will steal a dead turtle's shell. Dirty bastards. ;)

I suspect it's a size issue. How large was the equipment in your aircraft? Not sure you can get triangulation working without a crapload of delta v or two vehicles, either, unless the tech has upgraded substantially since I was in school. :)

Well, how much did *you* buy it for? Unless it's in significantly worse shape now, it's likely that's about what you'll get. The repairs that you have put into it fall into the maintenance category, and do not add to the value of the car.

Well... mostly. Up here in Canada at least, it's considered dangerous for the police to try to stop traffic on foot after dark. So it's rather unlikely that you'll run into anything but car mounted radar, where there isn't anything to pack up and put away before they can chase you down. I...
