LOL. In case anyone is still reading this with even passingly-mild ambivalence, Here's the new brake lines from Driftmotion. The fronts are slightly longer than stock, so that the oem brake line mounting/ guiding points can be used: I am now waiting on the Ronnie K. front bushings, then I can...

And wear eye protection! ps- hope you have a shop press as well.

Reading on them, they say that in the case of E.S., the two colors are just for personal preference, and don't reflect a difference in hardness. One thing I didn't know, though, was that E.S. generally always impregnates their black poly parts with graphite to for self-lubrication. Had I known...

Very interested in hearing about your results.

So... It's gonna be a while on my steering bushings?

Yes, they can disassemble it for you. It'll just cost a bit more in labor. Make sure that the shop you go to has the ability to create the proper surface on the head and block, for your head gasket; not all shops do.

Sounds like he's going from an na to a gte.

Never heard of this problem. On a long shot, take the cap off th fuel pulsation dampner, and make sure that the screw didn't back itself out.

Well, just as hoped, Mr. UPS dropped off another box this morning: Cobra conversion brackets: So I got started on the modification of the front hubs. By 'modify', I mean that I cut about 1.5 inches from the top of each dust shield. Here you can see that cut, plus the bracket being test-fitted...

The latest: I just got back from a week in Canada, and 4 boxes were waiting for me on the front step: New upper A-arms New front ball joints Front brake hardware for the Cobra calipers Hopefully tomorrow, I will receive 2 boxes from Aaron- a set of stainless brake lines to accomodate the new...

Bingo.

Ouch. That's alot of money for a Tridon.

Charcoal cannister: The bottom pipe doesn't go anywhere else; it vents down there. That vsv looks to be for the heater core valve on the firewall. It's supposed to be mounted right under the valve, currently located above it. Edit: Beat me by 3.22 seconds, JJ. :biglaugh:

I would agree with this in this situation, as aluminum large core radiators will transfer heat more efficiently than the factory unit. Otherwise, you would want to hold the heated coolant in the radiator a bit longer(higher temp rating tstat) in order to giver the oem rad longer to exchange the...

Shut up! He's gonna wanna charge me even more!!! :)

Well, there ARE alot of threads concerning clutch selection in this power range, maybe that's why it's quiet in here. I have similar power goals, and I intend to go with a Spec 2+ or 3+.

Payment has been sent for front + steering rack. Now let's start up that assembly line!

I'd meet up with you guys, just to say hello and see your cars. Right now my supra is apart for full restoration, so I'd be rolling large in my daily:

Too funny. Watching the two premier electro-braniacs of Supramania competing at at 'speed solving'. You should be flattered, Morganson. LOL

Ok, well it does sound like you've got your cooling system sorted out. Bear in mind though, that alot of aftermarket thermostats will 'stick' on occasion, and cause temp spikes as well. Also- if your AC condenser is blocked with bugs, etc., you won't get optimal airflow through the rad core...
