It's also nice at high altitudes, sunlight here at 6500' will do the same damage as the sunlight down in AZ, the only reason the car doesn't get *quite* as hot is because the ambient temperature is about 20-30° lower. I bought most of my cars there, and most of them have had tint, for damned...

I believe this is one of those differences between the JZ's and the M's Cy. On my 6m, oil pressure sensor hole is on the exhaust side of the engine, where on the 1j, it's on the intake side of the engine. But yes, get yourself an adapter from DM, they're cheap and easy.

Man, all you 92 guys have a tendency to make your cars look so nice... I approve heartily! :D

If I *had* to replace my old car love for a new car, there's only two I'd consider: another Miata, or the Scion FR-S. FR-S is more likely simply because there's a bit more room, but they're quite similar in overall size. Plus, I have yet to hear anything bad from anyone who's actually driven...

Neat. :) Taxpayer funded program? Or is this a private venture of some sort?

You know what the difference is between a dead baby and a Corvette is, right? I can't eat a whole Corvette.

Dylan, are you speaking of 264's versus stock, or versus 272's? Only reason I didn't go with the 272's is that I like having some power down low...

See that link in my signature about "living with a Supra"? Click on that, read through... ;)

I drove mine with the targa off once it hit above 40° a couple days ago...

Ahh, my mistake. Knew it had towed one of the two...

Eh, nothing wrong with the hot rod guys, I usually like their style, just makes me sad there really aren't any nice imports around here.

I'd love a job like that myself. "Here, I broke this, can you fix it without making it bulky and overweight/overpriced?" Seems like fun...

You know what else we say differently here in the states? "Holy zombie thread Batman!" How would you guys say that one? :p

According to the Mayans... "this water tastes terrible!" :p

Not that my girlfriend is "anti-gun", but she's never had the pleasure before. I intend to fix that sometime this summer now that I'm working days rather than nights these days...

This. I've ran mine for 2.5 years now, most of that time spent at 12-13psi depending on weather. Have had them as high as 16-17psi, and while they *feel* great, I know it's not good for them. Best to run them at stock wastegate pressure if you don't have the means to replace them or don't want...

Stuffing a v12 into a Mk3 Supra, and you don't want to go broke? :rofl: Good luck with that sir. :)

But... but... what if Chevy did the DOHC route on their bigger v8's? I know the LS7 likes to rev, but imagine if it had a better valve train setup? Would make the same hp, and similar torque output, with even less displacement. :p The LS *is* 15 years old this year...

Someone in the JZ parts for sale has a 1j head for $175+shipping, IIRC. They don't flow quite as nicely, but it's an option.

Not a bad guy, pretty sure my Mk3 has towed the car in question early in it's life, before I owned it. :p
