...and apparently have a sense of humor to boot. I would imagine that guys might be intimidated by you from the sounds of it. Takes a bit of time to be secure enough with yourself (speaking as a guy) to appreciate an awesome girl. I know if I had met my old lady 6 or 7 years ago, I would have...

This has me scratching my head as well... did you guys get F-body cars down there? Here they were done in 2002. Dry sump a feasibility for your project? That will solve that clearance issue... especially in the wallet!

Likely just a regional thing. I've only ever seen the "ribbed" version myself, and I've seen a lot of MkIV wheels over the years.

If that is Andy's ass, I might have to rethink some of my choices in life... :nono: :p

Haha, is it safe to kill this thread yet?

I used to do the same with the Miata, the SS, and the Supra. Tops off, AC cranked, and enjoy the nice AZ weather. :)

IJ said it properly when he said "in phase". If your U-joints aren't in line with each other, things get wobbly. Lay on your back under the car, follow the driveline from one end to the other. the U-joints should look like this: o---o The circles representing the pins that hold everything...

You can always paint CF too, for what that's worth. If you're looking to do it on a budget though, a fiberglass hood is nearly as light for nearly 1/2 the cost. :)

Eh, don't count it out just because it looks silly. My 88 Supra and the one I have now really only look a little bit different. The biggest difference? About 250hp. Who's to say that Honda isn't rocking a turbo H22 setup with an exhaust cutout? ;)

Careful when it does drop that it doesn't hit you in the face... that's never fun. ;) I had the same issue with the muffler on my 88, until the piping going into the back of the muffler finally just rotted away and dropped the muffler on the friend who was driving my car at the time.

Well that all depends on the car you're driving. I bet I could have paralleled half of the cars I've owned into whatever space you're talking about...

VR6's sound nice... and they're fairly compact, but I have no need of them. As for pushrods, they still work just fine. See: LS Chevy. ;)

I agree with Shaeff and Poodles, if your guy is wanting you to sell the cars, sell the guy. A good suitor for a gear head is either understanding of the hobby, or a gear head themselves. My old lady would never make me sell a car. Wouldn't even suggest it. We're actually looking into building...

I hear you about pissing off the old timers... I'm all for it, but I'll paint "Chevrolet" on my valve covers if I do go 2j. ;) Sounds like your build is a lot more serious than what I had in mind... love to see it all come together.

I have one... bought it new at Toyota for $90-110. Good investment. ;) That said, make the use of the air going into your car more efficient before you start worrying about the fan situation, IF your fan is already in good shape, leave it be. Like I said (might have been in another thread)...

Was just a joke Jostar. :p I've seen your car's thread, it's a nice one for sure.

I'd love to do something similar, or a Chromoly tube for the front one. May have to to make room for the radiator/fan combo by pushing things forward just a bit, as much as I hate to move weight further ahead of the axle... Fenders are about a 12 lb savings between the pair for CF fenders...

I would recommend checking to make sure the u-joints are in series as they should be. If it's not that, then I'd think your shaft wasn't balanced very well...

Made bold for emphasis. Been there, done that, you'll be way better off just focusing your attention and learning how to be patient. See that "living with a Supra" link in my sig? Read that. ;)

It was mentioned that the Weapon R intake is a turbo intake, which would be more realistic. You're not likely to pick up more than a couple HP from an intake on an NA, they're fairly well designed from the factory...
