Welding a crank is an art. Im saying you have to be a badass to weld a crank and have it hold. Some people are gifted I guess.

grab the bolt by hand and turn... if it turns, its loose, if it doesnt, get a socket on it and torque it, if it turns, its loose. I couldnt believe mine was that loose, it was finger tight, the biggest thing is I hope I didnt damage the keyway on the crank or the woodruff key, I will check it...

yeah, looks like it damaged the front crank seal, I will have to tear into it this weekend, I might do the cam seals while Im at it, quick question, does anyone know the proper way to torque the harmonic balancer bolt, even with it in 4th gear and a buddy standing on the brakes, I was still able...

FOUND IT! The crank pulley bolt was LOOSE! I pulled the fan to get clearance, I found that the bolt has been replaced with a motormite bolt... Someone has been in that motor. I put the car in fourth gear and had someone stand on the brakes while I cranked down, my clutch was slipping before I...

sounds like 'fun', its normal. After I installed my A/f ratio guage, I noticed it was pretty rich when shifting(blow off valve is recirced) I get a slight pop with full 3" with a flowmaster muffler. If you are pretty concerned about it, check plugs and wires and check for boost leaks.

the sound comes in at about 650 to 1200 rpm, I just checked the oil while I was at lunch, looks clean as a whistle, I didnt notice any glitter either. Maybe I am just paranoid. I am going to check the motor mounts before I do anything at this point and cross my fingers. If it is the bottom...

I bet she is showing copper by now, I should be able to see it, good thinking. I wonder If I could get by with dropping the pan and swapping some bearings... I hate apartments. I will probably have to park it and buy a hooptie to get me by or maybe a wrecked supra with a good motor?

Hi guys, possible rod knock issue, I havnt been able to fully diagnose the supra and I wanted to see if their was any way to diag without pulling the pan. Unfortunately I live in an apartment now and the management would have a fit if I had the car up on jackstands(they have already threatened...

dude, some dyno operators are a joke and even hokey, all the data and numbers can be manipulated at will via computer. What does that mean, even two matching dynos could have completely different numbers purely based on the software used... makes you kinda wonder.

Hey bud, about dynos, they should only be used for tuning purposes, a dyno at facility A is completely different from a dyno at facility B, elevation plays part, also temp, humid, all that good stuff, its just a random number, I hate dyno whores, that number means nothing, its supposed to be for...

http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2000/06/electricfan/index.shtml "I've also seen a couple cars with gapping wounds in the hood from where a blade cut through when the rivets broke loose." I thought my opinion would stand better ground with some sort of fact or similar experience.

have you ever seen a flex fan go through a steel hood before kids!? ITS FUN! I dont advise you play with the flex fan, they are cheap and love to come apart at high revs. 2 cents.

she does have a nice rear end, i didnt get a good look at the headlights though, I do know I need to hit up the bible study thing more often...

when in doubt, replace, btw, I talked with my old roomate with the 3000gt, he wants another run this weekend, MBC has been ordered, 10psi will make up for his nitto NT01's I think. Either way, he has the advantage, 1/8th mile track and my 60's suck! I am confident I will reel him in.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfl6TEUQMaU LMFAO the first thing I searched for was 'mkiii supra' and this came up. I wonder if this chick is single?:sarcasm:

Hi guys, I purchased gaskets a few months back for my upgraded ct off of ebay, I recently went to the track (ennis) to have some fun with the 3s crew at the texas 3s gathering, The first pass, I lined up against a G35, I knew I had the race in the bag, I got the tires cleaned up a bit and setup...

do what all the rednecks do, conform, TH350!

I would love an auto, boosted launches RULE! Ive even contimplated ATI's th350 kit.... mmm.... stall converters... and consistency too!

For a while we had to run 3 phase converter(generator) due to podunk Texas, after paying the 10 grand to the electric company, we now have true three phase! Makes me happy. We just got a new lathe in but we havnt even turned it on, we bought it thinking we could use it and all it does is...

IJ: you sir are sick! What I would do to get my hands on one of those. I have 3 bridge ports, one of them is inop i thought about doing a retro kit on it, it looks like crap, could use some paint but the table is pristine.
