That heater valve is a common problem, you're better off without it. Plugging the system so that you don't have any HVAC at at is actually pretty trivial, and will drop a fair bit of weight too.

Exhaust? Intake? Boost controller? Without those three you'll be lucky to make 200.

Yup, I picked up new hose from the local auto parts shop, they had it on a roll, cost me less than $10.

Damn, I forgot about the new frame rails, fender walls, and firewall! :biglaugh:

Good chance you're right, Dan. I should have said, keep turning up the boost until you either: - Detect the start of detonation - Stop gaining power

Anything will fit, given enough money. That said, putting a Supra engine of any type in a car designed for wrong wheel drive is going to be a LOT of money. Making a chassis designed for FWD into something that will accept RWD is not a trivial task. You need to add a transmission tunnel...

It's not so much the 1 on 1 scenario that's bad tactics. Sure, one guy could shoot at it - but it can shoot back, and at that point you're about even. The problem is when you start worrying about large numbers. In a fight, essentially only the front rank of humans can shoot at each other...

Oil cooler lines.

Put it on a dyno and listen for detonation with a set of electric ears. Turn the boost up until you start to get detonation, then turn it back down a bit. I'd be willing to bet with that setup you get a fair bit of power.

Not going to happen. There are tactical problems with tall combat vehicles - which is why there aren't any.

They'll charge TRAINS. This one took out my '82 Celica on the highway. I was doing 60+ mph when he hit me - spun the car around one and a half times, trashed the car. Fucking moose was fine, didn't even knock the SOB down.

Almost? ;)

That's another one of the ones that's only scary until it's happened. As long as the highway is straight, of course, luckily it was in the spot where I was attacked by the moose.

Rule of thumb is: "Drive it for a year. If you're still alive after that, chances are you'll never have a serious accident." The automobile insurance company up here posted stats years back that showed over 90% of serious bike accidents happen in the first year that someone has a bike...

turbo hardtop here as well, and I've seen way more turbo hardtops locally than targas. All the local meets, the targa guys are a minority.

Bah, Tony's car is going to buckle like a cheap tent this year. Besides, it's no fun pestering the guys that aren't online.

I used to be worried that I'd turn out like my parents. Lemme run the quick checklist... - Do I rent? No. - Have I let drugs & alcohol destroy my life? No. - Do I rely on welfare to feed and clothe my kids? No. - Do I beat my family? No. - Do I have long running feuds with family...

This guy has got to be certifiably insane! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J4KdQQIzW4

I think it needs a better muffler. And I still think I could design a better wheeled device.
