You know, if you really want to be king of the hill (so to speak), look into more modern turbo technology. Both Comp and Garrett have some rather impressive turbos these days. Prices might be a bit more steep, but if you're looking for the best of the best, there you go. ;) The old Greddy...

You know, the trouble really is finding a combination of size, offset, and style. Very rarely do I come across a set of used wheels that fit all three requirements. If I could find a *decent* set of magnesium wheels that could even be made to work (I would be a lot more flexible on offsets and...

What is preventing you from using this passenger seat on the driver side? Is flipping the bracket 180° a possibility? If nothing else, check with THMotorsports on here, Jonathan might be able to help you out here.

I figure a 300cc bike would be enough for me if I were to ever buy one, I'm light enough. Does "slow car fast" apply to the bike world too? Kinda strange, Kawasaki doesn't mention power output or redline on that bike. Compression seems a bit low to me too, I thought most bikes were in the 12:1...

You mean the fact that it takes 3 hours to watch/play a 1 hour game doesn't already? Gotta be something to take that long. Personally I prefer hockey or soccer, where ONE point is as good as the ONLY point in that game. That, and the only thing that stops the game for more than a moment is if...

Err... in what world is anything about that car stock, as the video's title suggests? I've never seen a velocity stack in the bumper for an intake that wasn't connected to a turbo. ;)

Check celicasupra.com sir, you'll have better luck looking through their classifieds section than ours.

I read all the technical specs that people have posted on the xkcd forum, it is rather impressive, the scope of it. :)

I'm not very familiar with the 2j setup, but the VSV's that are broken are likely the culprit. Could carefully remove the vacuum lines from the wastegate actuators and carefully monitor your boost levels. Or, best option, check the TSRM and see what it says about this. There should be a link...

Shouldn't be difficult at all. What "shouldn't" be, and what "is" though, are often different things. Did you get the harness off yet?

Mine made 320whp on only 12psi, and when you set it to about 17, it is a whole different beast. A little bit of headwork goes a long way on these engines... The part I put in bold above? That's pretty funny Rocky. :D Jordan, I also have the BC264's, been running them daily for just shy of 3...

Fair enough. I wouldn't want to take the chance of spilling a hot beverage in my car with the way I like to corner... Could always go for cocaine if you're in that much of a hurry in the morning. :p Oh, and as for bottles, they fit perfectly between your leg and the door, or the door and the...

Holy heatsoak Batman! Makes sense though, the more avenues you have to alleviating heat, then less is going to remain in the metal.

Meow, you wouldn't happen to be using a bit from a 10 year old movie meow would you?

Look at ARZ's white Supra, he has some bronze 18's on a white car, they look fantastic. IIRC, the setup was the FN01-RC wheels, 17 (18?) x 9.5, +35-40mm offset, with 275's all around.

How does that even happen? The resistance from slicks and trying to move a 2000 lb car all fighting each other cause that much stress on the crank?

For things that aren't made by anyone else, their prices aren't always terrible. For example, the various shrouds. Given that you either have to fabricate them yourself, or buy from the dealership, I don't think their prices were all that unreasonable. OP, please keep this thread updated. A...

Do you care if it actually acts as a catalyst? If not, simply weld in a pipe that runs through a stock cat's shell. If you do, I would suggest running a cat that matches the size of the exhaust piping for simplicity's sake. :)

Figgie, do you happen to know the CFM of the stock fan setup in good condition? I've always been curious.

Noticed this too... Either way there is still a decent amount of heat that you would benefit from removing from the intake side too. Remember, all that compressed air is still pretty warm by the time it reaches the engine. ;) Pictures? Not sure I'm familiar with them. Are you looking to lock...
