Lets just keep it simple and say that if you pu a 1/2 qt extra in the motor, you'll find the oil level is just above the full mark on the dipstick. This is all really just a precaution against starving the oil pickup tube during hard cornering or acceleration.
Quarks?
Lol. For quirks, there's not too many, just a couple of strong suggestions.
Retorque your head gasket to ~72 ft-lbs.
Run a 1/2 qt extra oil, and always check oil level at the beginning of the day.
Keep your coolant system in top condition/ topped off, and use only toyota red coolant...
Hmm.
I cant say as to how the rack feels yet of course, but i had no leaks, no peeling paint, and no overspray issues.
Hopefully, it'll work properly as well.
Very excited to hear about this.
I think the wing is a novel idea, because it is not simply a reproduction of an oem part, but rather it would be YOUR wing, your design. Instead of making a Regulus repro nose panel, you would be producing a Carbonworks spoiler.
Also, i'd still love to see a...
You might definitely be running lean then. Which means you could be just one WOT away from a melted set of pistons.
I would richen it up in the meantime, and get my ass to a dyno shop, or install a wideband already.
Ok, I lied.
I don't really want to post pics of a dirty cylinder head, till I have some real progress on it.
I'm pretty much done with polishing up the intake side, and I really only plan on cleaning the exhaust side.
Then, I'll lap the valves in, reinstall the springs an retainers, and...
Got the head back from the shop today, looks good.
I started the port&polish work, but it'll take another day or two, and then I can install the 7/16 exhaust stud kit, and begin reassembly.
I'll post a few pics up tomorrow.
Emissions requirements ran out on my '88 here in Georgia this year, but just like my '86 MR2, I'll be running full emissions regardless.
I think it's silly not to on a road car. After all, it doesn't kill performance at all, and I don't think it impacts mileage much either.
I don't think he means that.
A duck tail wing or spoiler would be something that mounts flush to the rear deck. And I infer from Absolutespeed that he would simply want it to have mounting points identical to the oem spoiler's, so that you could just bolt it on, and not have to worry about...
