Burp it, and get someone to move the temp setting from high to min while you watch the heater control vavle to make sure it still works.

You are not wrong, 72 was the perfect spot for the stock bolts. Of course, most of us use ARP bolts now, and those are good to 125 foot pounds at least. :)

HEY! Stop with the ruining my fantasy bit.

I know you are... but what am I??? ;)

Oh, it's not a bad thing at all. I just mentioned the Mk2 bit because the thread was what Mk3 inspired you, and Reg's car is only about 33% Mk3. :)

Rod knock will get louder as the bearing wears more, until it's so loud you can hear it over your stereo / engine / mac truck using the engine brakes beside you on the freeway.

I am one of the people who has done this, although I opted to not print out a new face to match the stock gauges. Ron R. is the pioneer of the matching gauge faces. Here's a pic of mine. I'll warn you right up front, this is a PITA to do. I purchased a 52mm autometer mechanical boost...

It's entirely torque related. Toyota spec'd the torque at 58 foot/lbs, and analysis of the headbolts by a third party since has told us that 72 foot/lbs is what should have been used. New headgasket and bolts torqued properly makes for a bulletproof engine - as long as you keep the oil level...

There are a lot of deserving names up there, and I agree 100%. The only two missing that I can think of off the top of my head are: BecauseIcan - for the perfect example of how to make a Mk3 Supra look like a year 2002 model car. Reg Riemer - for getting me interested in the 7M in the...

IJ is correct, snail = turbo. :) 650cc injectors and a Lexus AFM won't be sufficient, you would need some type of fuel control that can subtract duty cycle if you go over 550cc injectors. This rules out the Greddy e-manage, it can only add fuel, not subtract it. Last time I checked...

No no... he's saying the 93 Probe is slower than the 89 probe!

Well, late model Crown Vics will normally kick your ass. ;)

Windows down only works so well for me. 110mph on the freeway, I'd rather have the windows up, AC on, and the stereo on medium. Also, I love the option to whip someone at the track, then tell them after the run that you still had your AC on. This drives Honda boys nuts! ;)

I expect this should work - even if it won't, there is still two companies that make a similar product that will work for sure. Zeitronics ZT2 is being used by several members in this type of configuration. http://www.zeitronix.com/Products/zt2/zt2.htm Tech Edge 2A0 will work as well, and...

No doubt! It's actually happened to a friend of mine. The other driver offered to pay outside of insurance - until he found out that the bike was worth $7000, then he freaked out. So my buddy just said fine, I'll just talk to your insurance then... Got lucky with the insurance adjuster, turned...

This is really tough to diagnose. Basically, there is either a short in the wiring somewhere, or some accessory is not turning off. You normally diagnose this by hooking up an amp meter to the battery, record how much power is being drained, then pull the fuses one by one until you find the...

Many things can cause a knock sound at idle. Most of them are loose or broken parts. See if you can figure out where the sound is coming from in general - is it louder on one side of the engine or the other? Could your engine mounts be broken? What RPM does your idle sit at? How far up do...

I've owned both - 93 Probe and my current 89T Supra. In stock form, the Probe had slightly better acceleration and FAR better handling, with the notable exception of some nasty torque steer. Very mild mods put the Supra ahead in the power department by a significant margin. I haven't worked...

It gives you a LOT more room to play than the Lexus AFM. With the MAFT, a MAF, some sensors, some cleaned and tested stock injectors, a new snail, and some good tuning, you should be able to hit 400 rwhp, or damn close to it. The MAFT also allows you to use any size injectors up to 1020cc...

Turned out there were two possibilities. 1. Some kid from Egypt hacked our site. 2. Someone who knows how to cover their tracks posed as some kid from Egypt and hacked our site. Whichever version it really was, some kid from Egypt has no access to the internet anymore. :)
