    supra not starting after clutch install

    Car should still start and idle even without the AFM plugged in. Have you checked for codes? What else did you touch other than the AFM and the transmission?

    arp head stud question

    ARP head bolts are 1/2 inch 12 point socket. ARP head studs are 14mm 12 point socket. If you could find one, a 17/32 inch 12 point socket might work better, but I've never found one.

    Poll... which would you choose?

    G35 for sure. It looks WAY better - door handles weren't glued on as an afterthought, and the rear light design doesn't look like it's been stretched in a taffy pulling machine. Oh, and 4 seats.

    IE7

    I've always been a keyboard warrior, but then, I've been using computers for a long time, and typewriters before that. This would be tough to do with a small app, as Vista indexes every file on your computer and uses the indexes to narrow the available choices as you type.

    IE7

    I use firefox. Web pages that won't load in FF? No problem, I have a plugin installed that opens a page in an IE tab inside of FF. It's awesome. I use Vista as well, and there is one feature that I can't live without anymore. The new start menu is far superior for any of us old school...

    All Failed Rebuild Respond!

    I blew up one of my rebuilds. Reused pistons that had seen some bad detonation - they looked and measured fine, but they sure didn't last. When I tore it apart again, a couple pistons were missing large chunks of metal from the ringlands. I keep them around as pen holders to remind me not to...

    Plastic refinisher

    I'll second the Mothers. I've used it and it's awesome - I'm currently using a very fine plastic polishing paste from a plexiglass supplier, it's just as good and much cheaper, but the Mothers is way easier to find.

    Which MHG to go with??

    I won't buy another Cometic. HKS has held up to more punishment in my car.

    installed mbc, still only 5psi

    This could be several things. Are you using the stock boost gauge, or do you have an aftermarket one? The stock one isn't reliable enough to use. As was mentioned, check for boost leaks. You are better off building the $5 boost leak tester and using that. FYI, I've seen quite a few boost...

    Turbo R R-154 = Stronger?

    Yes, you can edit it yourself, however, you can usually tell how accurate the information is based on how long it survives before someone else corrects it. Bottom line - for 99% of wikipedia, there are more people posting who know what they are talking about then there are people who are...

    Good deal on a 1987 Daytona Shelby Z ?

    Girl I knew back in the day drove one of those. She had the turbo replaced 4 or 5 times under warranty, thing kept buying the farm. Little stuff was broken all the time, too - typical domestic style problems, thing was about as reliable as a three party government. Another fellow I know drove...

    ATI Dampeners are on sale... Not anymore... Thread revived...

    LOL - that's just my signature! It wasn't directed at you at all, it's added to all my posts... mostly because I'm one of the few people willing (and able) to deal with the basic questions over and over again without losing it on the newbs.

    ATI Dampeners are on sale... Not anymore... Thread revived...

    JDub was right on the money there, I'm not trying to pester you at all, or make any suggestions as to your wrench knowledge one way or another. I'd love to see you pick one of these up just because I think they are fantastic parts that everyone here should own. Unfortunately, they are well...

    ATI Dampeners are on sale... Not anymore... Thread revived...

    How old is the one you have on there? The rubber doesn't last forever, and the harder it gets, the less dampening effect it will have.

    Wobbly/Loose door?

    I was wondering if you can replace them by pulling the wheel well plastic out and working from the wheel side... anyone try this yet?
