    Can Supras Turn?

    I went from a 1000kg 1977 Lancer that handled like it was on rails to the 1600+kg Mk3 that had more body roll than the Titanic.... I did Shocks Springs and played with alignment a LOT with minimal improvement, this was back in 1997 when there was nothing off the shelf here in sway bars. I...

    Turbo is hot very very hot??

    Wow just wow...... I'm wondering just HOW stock bolts get "stretched" when 75ft/lbs is nowhere near their TTY spec? In the past I've reused 7M headbolts and not had a problem, I wouldn't do this on a performace build but for a DD type motor it's not a problem.(provided the bolts are in...

    Who wants aluminum rad for $210

    OK...here's the deal...

    Find someone nearby that's done it before to lend a hand.... There's a LOT of small expensive stuff that can be damaged. (not to mention it's a long clumsy chunk of aluminium to remove on your own)

    swaybars:st or tanabe?

    Tek: It might Tricycle if it's too stiff but I can't see that happening with a fat pig Mk3 and even less so with your WB Car ;) (it would take 12" diameter bars)

    swaybars:st or tanabe?

    No potholes or things to hit on a track ;) It comes down to fatigue life, a lot of race type parts get regular inspection and replacement (at least in any team I've worked for) and while old age in a race part may be 5000km's I can do that in 3 weekends here.

    swaybars:st or tanabe?

    Most lightweight parts are really built for race cars and don't stand up to daily driving as while they're often quite strong they don't have much of a service life when used in a DD on the road.

    turbo an NA 7M

    Right up till it rattles the first time and collapses the ring lands..... High Comp Turbo motor is one that really needs the extra strength of forged pistons.
