    Is there a way to change rev limiter?

    Ok, I'm NOT saying that anyone should push their redline... however, this logic is flawed. The same engineers put fuel injectors capable of double the stock horsepower in the same car. They also built a bottom end capable of holding well over double the stock power. Furthermore, they built a...

    1jz vs. Grand Am

    I thought about OT... but then Lanky would whine at me. And it is about Supras... just not very technical. I suppose I could MAKE a trash forum... ;)

    ?'s about the Hg on a JDM engine

    Depends. If you want a head gasket that should never fail, don't intend on digging into the engine internals again in the future, or want to put down big power numbers, get some machining and put in a MHG. If you want something that is easier to install, don't plan on running a whole lot more...

    Attempted Theft

    Three things. 1. Get a working alarm with a pager unit. If you are feeling mean, leave the siren off when it's within range of the pager, that way the thieves don't know you are coming. 2. Best weapon I've ever found is 2 lengths of 0-gauge welding wire about 2-3 feet long, one for each hand...

    ?'s about the Hg on a JDM engine

    Agreed. I'm not a fan of installing engines that I don't know the actual condition of, unless I don't mind pulling it back out in three months to fix the problems...

    Is there a way to change rev limiter?

    Modified ECU (Mines, TechTom), full standalone, or if you have the earlier ECUs, a lot of luck, and don't mind risking trashing your ECU you might be able to put a difference frequency crystal on the board and increase it that way. From what I understand 2 or 3 people have tried the crystal...

    Machining the front plate....

    Sounds like your machinist is a dumbass. Just make sure you cut the cover down at least as much as the block, or your head gasket won't seal. :(

    Are you kidding me? You have to date someone for a while before you can marry them.

    Removing the vaccuum system?

    No, it just runs into the front of the manifold.

    Removing the vaccuum system?

    Yes. On a stock car, these serve a lot of purposes. Everything from providing a vent for your gas tank and running your EGR so you can pass smog to adding fuel pressure under boost and making your car start better when warm, plus increasing the idle when you turn hard in parking lots and...

    Coilovers?

    I heard from someone who has bought both the expensive Tein setup and the cheap setup that in the future, he'll stick to the cheap setup, the extra coin wasn't worth it in his opinion. Also, check out 935motorsports, I think he has a spectacular deal coming through on a set from a new...

    Average Yearly Maintenance/upkeep costs?

    I'm sitting at about $6000 / year at the moment. Hopefully that will drop significantly as the years go by, I think I've pretty much swallowed the big ones already.

    Gross misuse of the apostrophe ( ' )...possibly humorous

    Actually, one of my biggest gripes is people who don't appear to care about the difference between 'to', 'too', and 'two'. :)

    Third, the interior looks worse than someone who just took the runner up prize in a chainsaw fight.

    Gross misuse of the apostrophe ( ' )...possibly humorous

    Considering that I work in a Quality Assurance department, it drives me nuts. However, I rather doubt that people are getting dumber. More ignorant, perhaps, but I don't think the evolution that created smart people is going to suddenly reverse itself. Further, it could just be the evolution...
