You guys did read that they are only using the sound from his car because it's similar to a MKIV. They are not going to use a MKIII. They just want the sound not the car.

Da whistles go WHOO! WHOO!

Thats freaking awsome man!:bigthumb: Keep us up updated!

Good point, I had to do this on my rear shocks on the KYB's, I had forgotten about that.

True. You can just get non-TEMS shocks to replace your old TEMS shocks. No modification is necessary

I've got the KYB GR2s, they are ok, and their ride quality is about average. It's better than stock but they are really not meant for more aggressive driving styles. However they are perfect for around town driving. This is on stock springs so they might perform better on some performance springs.

PSI isn't a good way to measure how much power is safe. 18 PSI is much more dangerous on the tock CT26 than on say a SP61. HP is a much better measure. Some people have touched 500hp safely on fresh stock internals. That is some thing you will not be able to do safely on a 200,000+ mile motor...

I haven’t seen the reports from Toyota but BMW states that their new bi-turbo I6 with direct injection as seen 10% increase in fuel efficiency on the Euro test cycle and 5-15% increase in real word driving. That’s quite a jump. http://www.greencarcongress.com/2006/03/bmw_unveils_new.html...

True, they are adjustable down to a 2.5 inch drop. If you are going lower than that you are either a brave or stupid man.

The stock suspension is fully adjustable, so camber kits are not need. http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/librar.../fa/FA_03.html http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/librar.../ra/RA_03.html

^^^An honest man. ;)

I think it's supposed to be a dragon, but for some reason the only thing it reminds me of is a swan or a duck. My car is not a duck.

Americanjebus: Don’t worry to much, direct injection on gasoline motors is fairly new. I thought it was still in its experimental stages until recently. But with Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Toyota, offering Spark-Ignition Direct Injection motors and GM getting in on the action this year...

That would be Ti-35V-15Cr (Tiadyne 3515) a.k.a. alloy C, also used on the F-22 Raptors thrust vector nozzles. Snowmongoose: Remote mounting the turbo would defiantly take care of the EGT problem, but I would have to go with Figgie on the idea that you will loose a good deal of exhaust gas...

Two bits of advice for you. "Don't feed the bears!" and Don't race the ricers!" But at this point you’re already in deep, so if it were me, every time he wanted to race I'd say ok. The when we took off I would make it obvious that I wasn't even trying and I would let him win. After...

hmm..Good point, it would be impossible to maintain a state of positive pressure anywhere in the intake, on a system where you have a throttle plate. It's possible to elimanate the need for a throttle plate if you use direct fuel injection, but I'm sure Nissan didn't go this route...

I was a little confused about this as well. I can only assume that they mean pre-throttle plate intake track pressures. But I though there might still be something I haven’t heard about, so I asked. I've worked on a few Cummins (My favorite thing to do to anybody helping me is tell them...

Great info Adjuster, good to see a few more ideas thrown in here.

Lol IJ. It might be a regional thing. Because of the winters where I lived in Colorado. You had to have studded snow tires for the winter, and a separate set of tires for summer, other wise you would ruin the winter tires. So tires got mounted and balanced twice a year for every car so those...

Damn that’s expensive! I paid $8 per tire to have them mounted and dynamically balanced back in my old home town. It was pretty common to switch between a winter pair of tires and a summer pair of tires on a set of rims. So mounting and balancing happened a lot.
