    Shaking under boost

    That would probably be your problem. May have fouled the plug, or you may be able to clean it up and be good to go. Just be sure to find the source of the oil(bad ring, valve cover gaskets...).

    Shaking under boost

    I had the same problem with bad gas, which led to fouled plugs. If it is bad gas, get some cheapo plugs to run because they'll just foul out again within a week.

    4-channel headunit to the 6 MKIII spkrs

    You could bring them down to 4 OR wire 2 spx per channel for 4 of them and normally for the remaining 2. I would recomend wiring them in series ( wire +speaker1- wire +speaker2- wire instead of wire ++speaker1&2-- wire if that makes sense).

    any atlanta people on here???

    Well, it doesn't look like I'll be able to make it down. Between no gas money and having to rewire the knock sensor this weekend(if it warms up enough). I might be down on the 23rd to visit my sister, but it could be a rental car(if I don't feel the Supra is up for it), but then it's on to...

    88T vs 91(?) NSX

    Good kill. My dad's friend used to have one, but has since gotten over his mid-life. I used to see ~4-5 of them around here, but haven't seen any in a year or two. Same with mkIVs, haven't seen many of them around here lately either.

    Homemade Paint Booth

    I'd love to be able to do that, but living in an apartment I'll be lucky to be able to do the body work/primer at home, let alone the paint. Can't wait to see the finished product.

    What in the hell is that?

    Might be usefull to turn the 'parking' lights on. That way if you're in the shadow of a truck or going through a tunnel(lots of them around here) other cars can still see you.

    Fixing my power steering

    Don't worry, I'm sure many of us have done this. Even Firestone did it when they replaced my PS rack(had to use a card due to just having the lower control arms done). It says Dexron ATF right on the reservoir cap too. Regular PS fluid is just too thin.

    What's your occupation?

    Deskside IT at UnumProvident (~10,000 local employees) I upgrade peoples systems after they go home. P3 750 w/21" CRT -> P4 2.8 w/19" FP Also do some tech support in the mornings and because of our legal department I pull hard drives from the old machines and throw them in a box 'just in...

    I Love Rental Cars!!

    Everything I've seen about the boxes is exactly that. Only has access to the last 30-60 seconds. As far as this being linked to OnStar(which having GPS I'm sure it can already get all the vehicle info it needs), that's a whole other privacy issue. I've heard of magazines having OnStar call...

    FireFox plus adblock rocks!

    Firefox isn't that much of a resource hog. It runs fine on my p2 300Mhz laptop w/160 MB under Ubuntu linux. I have to drop out of X to get smooth video playback, but other than that it runs fine.

    How Many Daily Drivers?

    Mine has been my only car for just over a year now. I even delivered pizza in it for a while(6 months, but it let me meet the cars 2nd owner and find out that I'm the 4th, original owner was a doctor who got every option, and the 3rd owner is the one that abused it). I've put 22k on it since the...

    2 bov installed

    Sounds like it could be a vacuum line too. My brother-in-law had an RX7 R1(93 TT) that we replaced the turbo on, and putting it back together he wanted to use new vacuum hoses(you think ours are a pain, those have ~50 or so little lines running everywhere). Long story short, it ran like crap...

    Oh this sucks, I found a great set of wheels, BUT...

    Kumho makes 265/45/16 in their Ecsta V700, V710 and VictoRacer V700. Hoosier makes a 275/45/16 drag slick(R3 S03 is on sale at tire rack for $59).

    teaser

    Too bad Toyota can't do this stuff anymore. The ST185 Rally cars were what really got me into Rally(and Toyota, well, besides the old MR2). Good to see the Supra on the dirt though.

    It's his picture. Hosted on MSN. It's very annoying.

    DO you guys worry what around the corner next?

    Mine's been my DD for just over a year now. No road trips yet, but I did deliver pizza in it for a while(transitional job, back in IT now). Hasn't given me any trouble since the HG. Did some major maintenance on it though(PS rack and lower control arms).

    video stuff....

    Do you have the codecs installed? I did plenty of Sony MiniDV->PC encoding on an AMD 2100+. Even made a DVD and played around with MovieMaker2(which works nicely for minor editing and making quick clips from a large vid. Go to http://www.doom9.org and poke around. They have all the codecs you...

    Orion getting yet ANOTHER car (no 56Gay)

    Very nice. If I had the cash(and a place to store them), I'd get an 85 GTS Celica again and one of those. And don't listen to the haters about the leaks. What do you expect from a car that old. Just go through and get them little by little.
