    Forum Name Change?

    Forum name changes are lame. Stick with what you've always had, that way we can remember who the hell you are.

    cressida block for 7MGTE engine?

    Pretty sure all the North American market ones came with them - but they were definitely not included in all markets.

    I have no idea what to title this...

    Not a whole lot we can say that will help much right now, but hold in there, it gets better from here. Find some new work, socialize with the people you know (yes, we'll do, but in person and away from a computer terminal is even better). In time, you'll forgive and move on with your life...

    cressida block for 7MGTE engine?

    Same here, but that's when I'm speaking with the wife!

    LOL - not very often that I get a DOH out of you! :D

    cressida block for 7MGTE engine?

    And check for knock sensor mounts, I recall the Cressy only had the center one drilled and tapped, and the GTE harness requires 2.

    Best Sealant On HKS Stopper???

    I've used both, and never had any leakage with either. I'm currently running an HKS with the coatings removed and copper spray on it. Of course, my surface preps are good enough I could likely put it down naked...

    Stinger > Maft-Pro?

    I hadn't realized you had a PnP harness for the Stinger! That will make a huge difference. Maybe I'll change my mind and switch to one of those... :D

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    I also have access to essentially unlimited storage and bandwidth, so if you want to store information on the 'net, let me know.

    HKS MHG vs. Cometic

    I'm reasonably certain that it was heat that blew the Cometic. I lost a coolant line, then lost my coolant, and the engine compartment was REALLY hot. When I pulled the Cometic, it was snapped in between all the cylinders. I put another HKS back in and it's been running fine ever since.

    Stinger > Maft-Pro?

    Simple, really, it's cost. Anyone can install a MAFT Pro, so you're looking at purchase price and that's it. For a standalone, your average guy HAS to get it professionally installed, and professionally tuned, and he needs to buy it initially, so the total cost of ownership is much higher.

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    Good work, folks. This was on my list of things to do for years, but it keeps getting pushed off by real life (tm) concerns. I've got high res pics of the GTE ecu floating around somewhere from the HAC sensor mod for the MAFT Pro setup, if you get to the point that you need them, let me know...

    HKS MHG vs. Cometic

    In my experience, HKS is much tougher than Cometic. I've blown a Cometic without causing any damage to the internals... and I've blown apart some pistons trying to kill an HKS. So, it looks as if: HKS > Stock Toyota pistons > Cometic.

    Fuel cut with MAFTPRO?

    Depends on how serious you want to get with the car, I guess, I don't think I'd be running anything that big on a MAFT setup. At that point I'd be putting in a full stand alone ECU.

    Oil Leak from Dipstick hole where it mates to the block?

    Could be... have you replaced the seal on the dipstick tube?

    Windows not recognizing discs?

    AOpen / Acer CD drives are shit. I've seen more of them die than all other brands put together. I'll be surprised if it turns out to be anything other than the drive just deciding to join computer component heaven prematurely.

    Stinger > Maft-Pro?

    Love the MAFT Pro. Set the basic parameters, plug in your wideband, tell it what AFR you want at WOT, and let it figure the rest out. Ok, it's not quite that simple, but it's a SHITLOAD easier than any standalone I've ever seen.

    Fuel cut with MAFTPRO?

    I wouldn't be the least surprised to find that 15psi on a t-70 is where fuel cut SHOULD be with 550s.

    AC Blower Resistor Low speed fix (Mod)

    The new unit from the dealer is considerably more robust than the original one. My original lasted a good 15+ years, I suspect my replacement will last at least double that.

    Looking for funny vid - driver screaming at State Trooper

    The reason nobody gets tickets for 2mpg... First, it's not reasonable to expect drivers to watch the speedo all the time. Second, auto manufacturers aren't willing to put the money into everyone's speedo to make it extremely accurate, and if the driver thinks he's going the limit but the...
