    Warning, Iraq post. WMD? Nahhhh.....

    LOL - how about we agree to disagree here? I should point out that I really have no wish to rewrite history, even the bits that aren't 100% accurate, and I've never been on the losing side.

    Anyone good at searching for vids on streetfire?

    Recently I was watching one of the vids posted here, and there was another vid on the same page of some 4x4 rock crawlers. I recall in tweaked my interest, so I watched it - there were some nice shots of big crawlers almost lunging up vertical faces. Now I can't find it. Anyone else have...

    upgrading shocks...

    The TEMS pocket isn't big enough for a wallet. :( I know, I don't have TEMS. It's big enough for lipstick for the ladyfriend, that's about it. Launching shocks and driving shocks are very different beasts. For good handling, you want tight shocks and springs. For good launching, you want...

    good car or not

    Ok, there are a few threads on what to do to these cars to wake them up. Here's one: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17&highlight=order Pay attention to the bit that tells you to fix all the maintenance items before you start modding. There are going to be tons of old...

    pulled the head today, stuck valves

    The nicest thing I can think of that could cause that is snapped springs... I can think of lots of things that would cause a crapload of damage. :(

    Can the CPS cause an oil leak?

    Neat! The whole engine will glow! :)

    spark plug wires can make tappin/knockin noise

    Or it's really coming from the bottom, and it's rod knock. :(

    Can the CPS cause an oil leak?

    Could also be various things on your power steering... are you sure it's oil, not power steering fluid?

    pulled the head today, stuck valves

    First, (before IJ gets here :D), have the head tested for hardness before doing anything else. If it fails the hardness check, strip if for parts and throw it out, it's eaiser to find a new one. Now for the other stuff that I have any knowledge on. #2 - torque to 72-75 foot pounds if using...

    For those using lumi-blue backgrounds, or mods/admins....

    ROFL - when I built that logo, I literally typed in nonsense, then resized it so small that you couldn't tell. :D

    help with injectors

    At an injection service shop. As any performance shop in your area, they should know the places locally that can do this.

    question on head

    Agreed - but this was on Duane's car. CF hood - it's easy to pull with only a single person. :)

    oil level a little over

    Actually, many of us deliberately run up to a litre / quart over. A little over will not cause any problems, and some extra might save your bearings.

    question on head

    It is possible to get it off... but it's not easy. We did this on upgradedsupra's car... once. After that he bought a new set of studs with the hex sockets in them specifically because it was such a huge pain in the ass to deal with. We used IJ's method, left the heater union on, pulled the...

    You should be able to just pull 25% fuel with the SAFC.

    Are there many 1UZ-FE MA70's out there?

    Did you folks manage to solve the ECU issues, trying to run it without the stock auto tranny? Or do you just convert to a full standalone ECU?

    question on head

    Normal depth socket will work. Mine does, anyhow. Normally we just unscrew the studs - that's why they have an allen key socket in the top.

    Head teardown ?'s

    No, we aren't quite that old, that was our parents. I bug my folks all the time - we actually went to see Jurrasic Park with my mother, and she complained that the dinos didn't look right... so I said, "Is that from personal observation?"
