    Purpose Built Police Car

    Not impressed... For a turbo diesel, the gas milage doesn't look so great. And i'm calling BS on the 250K miles crap, as it's not going to be a huge production car, initial cost to buy and parts are going to be expensive no matter what they say. They can say all they want now because it...

    My 1991 Jay Blue Supra

    That bracket that hangs the downpipe off the tranny crossmember is required... unless you want the downpipe to break at the flex section (I speak from experience)

    Two questions (couldn't find through a search)

    Yep, the adjuster is to back them off if you can't get the rotor off, not to tighten them.

    I think i popped a IC hose?

    Definately sounds like you popped a hose off, find it before you cause turbo damage...

    All season tires

    Michelins aren't cheap... and you do get what you pay for with them. I also agree with changing all 4 tires as well and rotate them so you don't burn off the backs. We don't get a ton of snow here so I can't really comment too much, but my Kumho Ecsta SPT's have worked pretty well in the...

    R154 chatter 1200-1500RPM

    The bearing is stout, but the bearing cover plate is not. That's why marlin makes a better plate...

    Handbrake Light?

    Fluid level going down is natural with pad wear... It's also the reason you watch the fluid level when doing a brake job as you have to compress the caliper pistons displacing the fluid back to the res. and causing it to overflow (brake fluid eats paint, so this it bad...)

    Two questions (couldn't find through a search)

    shoes self adjust... the handle has to be adjusted ove the years as the cable stretches. Are you talking about the vents behind the windows, the body moulding around the car, or the trim around the windows?

    Marlin crawler order??

    Driven both, the green truck bushing is crap compared to the marlin bushing. Try em in a truck as well, then the difference is REALLY huge (as the shifter is nearly 3' long) Driftmotion carries the marlin crawler bushings as well IIRC...

    white residue in turbo exhaust

    Race gas does it because it's leaded (it's the lead coating the parts). On the turbo I think it's the temps it reaches...

    Custom Exhaust?

    Not entirely true... After having a DDP, intake, and hardpipes, putting the high flow cat and 3" exhaust on made a HUGE difference... DDP helped, but without an exhaust it won't flow enough. If you're not turbo, a free flowing exhaust is going to be LOUD, fair warning...

    Anyone have sparco sienna or generic bucket seats?

    Any racing seat is 100% dependant on the fit. It's like a shoe, if it doesn't fit, it's not comfortable...

    Need 4" inlet/outlet muffler and cat. Ideas?

    I love my magnaflow...and they aren't that loud.

    1 foot exhuast? would it harm the turbo?

    Only vents down with a turndown on it (not hard to do). I liked the sound of my DDP...key word there is "liked," it quickly gets old just like my stupidly loud exhaust i used to have...
