    Illinois: Experienced Supra Owner Needed for Head Gasket Repair

    Oh yes, earplugs! Get the ones that have cords attached to them so that you can get them out easy. A 3 angle valve grand is when they take the valve out, clean it up and make sure that the outer ring is perfectly true. Often times the edges of a valve will be pitted and covered in carbon. In...

    Finally lowered my supra

    Well, after my coilover whoas, I finally get something together that works and looks half decent. Pair of Tein HA rears and Tokico blues/Intrax fronts. The fronts are temporary until I can find a pair of Tein fronts, or just bite the bullet and buy a new set. We'll see! Thankfully the springs...

    HG replacement help/pricing

    It's about 900-1300 canadian to get a head gasket done up here, so your prices are on the high side. But...if they replace the timing belt, water pump, use ARP hardware, genuine Toyota parts and get the head machined, then that's not too far off. According to Alldata, a head gasket job is 9.9...

    Looking into live mixing, sampling, so on, can anyone offer advice?

    I've used a hole bunch of programs, keyboards synths etc. So far the easiest to use is honestly garage band. It's somewhat limited as to what you can do but to lay down your samples it sure is easy. To create samples you have to get creative and be VERY precise using audio tools. I used rebirth...

    TobyCat's winter buildup

    Finally got a chance to install my sway bar kit that I purchased a few months ago. All I have to say is MAN those end link bolts are a bitch to get off. Thankfully an acetylene torch was near by to heat up the nuts and crack them off with an impact gun. I kinda marred up the boots a bit, and the...
