Well, to make a long story short, I took my 1jz Downpipe to an exhaust shop to have it lengthened to fit the car, and instead they made me a new pipe. Oh well. The problem is that its got a ball/socket type flange. The Y-pipe and test pipe are normal flat 2bolt. Does anyone know of an...

I don't get it

there's technically two cables/wires/leads that go to the starter. One bigass thick one, that goes to the stud on the starter, and is the main power. That goes to the battery. The other is the solenoid. its one single wire with a rectangular connector.it should be hanging down from between...

there's the power wire from the battery that goes to the starter (the thick wire), then the trigger wire which connects to a spade connector on the top of the starter. The ground is done through the motor.

Omfg. IJ will know why my balls are now flapjacks.

Electronics, vehicles, appliances are all built on physical elements with physical properties. The physical properties required for perpetual motion are zero resistance and perfect mechanical efficiency. Lets say that they somehow do get the mechanics to be 100% efficient.. no waste...

Yep, can't have 100% efficiency! Technically, literally, physically, everythinglly impossible. Now in a total vacuum gravity free environment, maybe. Too bad those don't exist either. The two guys who came up with it say it all: An electrician, and a businessman. Sounds like the...

I got my intercooler piping and core off ebay, from just-intercoolers. the stuff is pretty nice, the bends are flattened a little bit (probably from using the wrong size of mandrel), but overall good stuff. That said, it's pretty hard to F up pipes. I however, wouldn't trust structural or...

Yes, but keep in consideration the frequency range of the speakers as well as the sub. Subs are very low frequency units. Asking one to play up high will sound piss poor and eventually lead to breaking the woofer. Similarly, asking a small, midrange speaker to go too low will leave a big...

Yea, you won't get decent bass out of the stock stereo. Your big limitation are the speakers. i think 89's came with 4" up front? For better bass without a subwoofer, look to fit 6.5"s in there. There are a few writeups on making brackets to get them to fit. A few generic tips: If you...

Same setup i have. I scrape and rub all the time, and will soon be changing.

oh snap!

Ahh... but its not a viper! Its Mercedes next "Supercar." They're not collaberating with Mclaren on this one, and are using the viper basic body to test the running gear. http://www.leftlanenews.com/mercedes-slc-future.html

Why not bring el bluey? I'll be there...but hopefully the weather clears up. if its raining, i'll be taking something other than the supra- its not wet weather ready yet.

Who's saleen? I'm severely disappointed with the 05+ compared to the 94-04 models.

Okay, I went out to the garage to try and find my dynamics book and just do the math for you, but half my college stuff is in the storage unit, so I can't find it. Here however, are some diagrams that will hopefully visually get the point across: Upper/Lower Control arms: Macpherson...

No No no. It CANT. The suspension geometrys and setups are completely different. Putting a saddle on a horse will make riding it easier, putting a saddle on a cheeta won't help you. IJ has already posted how to correctly stiffen the MK3 chassis. strut bars don't do diddly on our type of...

Hallo? Its cause the Mkii has machpherson struts. Not upper/lower control arms.
