    anyone play need for speed, most wanted?

    LOL, no Jack is an asshat. Virtually every computer geek agrees on that score, and I'm no different. I know that GTA is innovative... it just doesn't innovate in a way that I enjoy. When I'm driving a car game fast, I want to drive a nice car in a realistic manner - not some 50s caddy or...

    resetting ecu. more power?

    It depends. This resets the memory in the ECU, so it won't remember all the behavior that it has 'learned' over the last several months. Now if it 'learned' agressive maps, usually 'cause you drive it like you stole it, then resetting it will drop your power. However, if it learned granny...

    How much boost can a stock 7mgte block hold?

    Lots. The good Doctor has been pushing out over 500 rwhp for a long time on a stock block. If you replace the pistons and rods, you are good to over 1000.

    I paused playing it in December when I got into EVE online. I'm at 10 or 11.

    Code 24 and won't fire - any suggestions?

    Heard back from him today. He got it towed to his usual mechanic, turned out to be a defective / dead fuel pump.

    Why is my car slow?

    Hmm... I wonder if he was racing a 280z or a 240sx. Different animals to say the least.

    anyone play need for speed, most wanted?

    No. U2 is the worst racing game I think they have ever produced. It is the only one I never finished! I put it away when I realized it was just making me angry how the computer has to cheat - and cheat BAD - just to stay competitive. MW has better graphics, better story, more realistic...

    ok new problem help!!!!

    Also, check if it works in second. If it does, your first gear is pooched. If it doesn't, either the entire tranny is fubar'd, or more likely something external is broken - clutch, driveline, e-brakes...

    Supra owners are special....

    JJ, that's a damn fine idea. I think I'm going to adopt that if you don't mind.

    Atmospheric or Closed Loop

    Ok, some people are still obviously confused. Compressor surge only happens when the BOV isn't large enough, doesn't work properly, or doesn't exist. It has nothing to do with whether it's plumbed to atmosphere or back into the intake. A 2 second difference between recirculated and...

    Mounted to the rollbar is a good spot. :)

    I now hate bmw's, and their stupid ass drivers

    wtf? How did your headlight come out of that intact? I think you should save that headlight, it's obviously blessed by God. Rare that a Supra comes out looking like the loser in an accident, too. Sympathy vibes your way... good luck with the insurance, and start looking for a new Supra now.

    help: rough idle, sweet smell, smokey...

    For a non-turbo car, I'd just get a new OEM style head gasket. Unless you figure you want to bolt a turbo on there sooner rather than later. I suspect that you've got a BHG and the extra pressure in the cooling system has sprung a leak in one of the coolant hoses... we'll see what certigard says.

    Rattle...Tat...Tat...

    We all know the drill for this... put it up on a body hoist, then wander around underneath shaking things until you find the loose bits.

    Ge & Gte

    Near the front, in the middle of the water line Y? That's the water supply for the turbo.

    custom oil pan

    Someone who has access to his pics... steal them and link them to this thread. It's so easy to upload photos here, I just use that all the time. I want someone to weld wings onto my spare oilpan... so that it looks like that killer cast magnesium one that IJ recently got, without the ass rape...
