    drag strp carnage w/pics

    Yep, the crush sleeve is definately a week point with torque... 31" tires, 4.11 gears and a nice low range destroyed it in my truck, so I don't doubt a healthy supra would do the same...

    Letting the cat out of the bag - 13" OEM Quality Front Brakes for the MA70 Platform

    Yeah, stock brakes are lacking, not enough mass to keep the heat out of the brake fluid IMHO... I like my wheels a lot, but I have ZERO clearance between the caliper and the hoop of the wheel, would be cool to get a thicker rotor and larger caliper, but I doubt I'll be able to keep these...

    Couple Of Diff Questions.

    You can get the bearings from the dealer... Also, damn Toyota and their crush sleeves they use! If you are going into the diff, make sure you use a spacer. Info is here: http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=430339

    Letting the cat out of the bag - 13" OEM Quality Front Brakes for the MA70 Platform

    Doward: if you have the info, you can do small production runs like have been done with the hatch shades... As PBR has made calipers for damn near everything, I bet Hawk has pads for these...

    Do you HAVE to lap the deck?

    Oil in intercooler piping?

    That's a PCV leak, the pumping action of the bottom end moves a lot of air... Compression test would show blowby instantly...

    Running an open BIC Down pipe

    $180 vs $65... I bet the ticket around here would be more expensive...

    intake manifolds

    Yes, lower manifold is the same. Here's a thought, why would Toyota make two completely different intakes when it would be cheaper to just make one? Oh, that's right, PERFORMANCE.

    Why is my New Clutch Slipping - proper break-in

    Yeah, dunno why the TSRM doesn't cover it... But then again, it's much like high performance brake pads, many of the clutches we use will wear the flywheel while the stock clutch would just wear the disk. It's refered to as the flywheel "step." Found some info here...

    Running an open BIC Down pipe

    I opened up the stock bracket as well to fit my 3" DP... Why are you going catless? Are you running leaded gas or just being cheap? As long as the cat is not clogged or too small, it won't have a noticable change on power. There's dyno proof all over the internet...

    Opinions on vacuum hoses

    even hose techniques hoses need zipties... I was given a lot of vacuum hose from the dealer, it's actually pretty damn cheap even if you buy it. Also, it actually FITS instead of the parts store stuff that's standard size and not metric and is too big (requiring zipties everywhere)
