    Transmission Problems

    My theory is that because of the helical cut gears (to reduce noise), torque makes the gears walk a bit on the shafts. Wear happens, and especially the front bearing cover flexes causing play in the assembly. This allows shock loads to the parts and the thrust washers. As the torque and...

    well cobra should be going down soon

    Bit late to the party, but follow the TSRM TO THE LETTER on the throwout bearing hub assembly or it will fail everytime. If it's bad enough it will spin the snap ring and machine the lip off the hub, requiring replacement of the hub...

    1 foot exhuast? would it harm the turbo?

    DDP isn't always open, and it's vented straight down, not parallel with the bottom of the car. Not a fan of cut-outs personally, as getting a good flowing and great sounding exhaust beats it ...

    supra won't start and blinkers don't work!!

    Hazard switch is disconnected, that explains them not working and if it's disconnected you don't have blinkers either. The rest...well... you always look to what you did.

    Piping bead rollers? Where to buy

    The cheap ones (like the one that I posted) won't do thick materials, and aren't terribly durable. Now the one IJ has will do thick material all day, everyday, forever...

    the t3d's FIRST "Performance before Appearance" BUILD THREAD!

    Yep, that's where it goes. Also, don't bother looking for an aftermarket tank, even if you find one you'll hate installing it. It's a major complaint with musclecars as they have a strap setup like ours and aftermarket tanks are never quite made the same as the OEM...
