Shoe decorations. ;) Well, technically, bad injector wiring would cause a cylinder to be "dead"... Err... kinda a step sideways, isn't it? Then again, pretty much anything Smokey does is pretty awesome, so I'll allow it.

That was a good thread on Turbo Miata, but I'm actually having the opposite problem. Too much boost with a boost controller (even on the minimum setting), but without it, I only get maybe 12psi, 13psi tops. I'm wondering if a slight restriction somewhere might not be in order...

Hmm, I seem to recall leaving the door handle itself attached to the panel, but I could be wrong. I'm in the same boat (having done the door panel on, door panel off thing a LOT), except for the bezel thing. Didn't know those attached to the door itself. :)

Those look like Volks to me... nothing to be mad about if they are. :)

Hey, it is trying to be a Dodge Slant 6! :p OP, they tend to wear out for the reasons that Poodles mentioned. Nothing to really be concerned about, just replace them. :)

Well, I guess that answers the question that wasn't asked: "What would a MkIV look like with pop up headlights?" That's what I was thinking. Well... don't let me stop you sir. Big enough swap hammer, you should be good to go, right? Man, I would have thought you guys would have been done with...

They had an interesting lineup throughout the world in those years. There were two different body styles that North America got, my personal favorite being the liftback.

Hahahaha! This is how I have to drive too, 4x4 diagonal technique for the win! OP, sorry to hear of the incident, but I gotta ask, did you not see the thing? I've ran over a few in my time that weren't painted or made noticeable in any other way...

Sounds about right. Unless you're leaving a damned good 60' (and with those tires, I wouldn't get your hopes up TOO much), I say a 13.4 is a realistic time, given the power and gearing. :) Good luck!

Do it like the domestic guys: high compression and high final drive gearing. Should be easy enough (said, maybe not done). :)

Keep in mind, I doubt many tests of the stock car were using the automatic for acceleration times. ;) Where's that "careful guys, we got a badass in here" picture when you need it? :p Seriously though, always better to take your time and do things right.

Well, at least it is behind you Jay. As for me, I keep my garage door a bit hidden, just in case. Don't want what you can't see, right?

Welcome back. :)

Uhhh... come again? Wait a minute... do you mean a mechanical boost gauge? You might look into an AEM serial gauge, but you'll need an AEM ecu to use it.

Actually, strangely enough, I had about 6-8' of line for the last Turbosmart MBC I had (an in-cabin type), and it didn't hit boost cut unless it was really cold out. So, I'm wondering if the longer hose didn't allow enough of a delay to keep the boost from rising too fast. In other words, with...

Heh, the closer you get to a wife, huh? :rofl:

All depends on the owner I suppose. I've been using mine as daily drivers for 5 of the last 7 years... Yeah, mine too. We must have gotten some Celica DNA mixed up in our cars. :p Eh, at that price, I would rather take away the risk and go with a proven track record. Driftmotion...

Do you have to remove the two screws under the grille? I forget... also, why would you remove the lock bezel? It is only held to the door panel, correct? For what it's worth, I've never been in a Supra that still had the lock bezels, so... really don't know what they attach to here.

Chevelles or Celicas? The market on a good Celica (rust free, good luck finding one!) seems to be anywhere from 3k to 10k, some lower, some higher to reflect condition. As for the Chevelles, I'm sure we've seen the market peak on those. I doubt you'll see those as 6 digit cars anymore, the guys...

I would like to argue with you, but you're probably right. I know my 88 had one when I owned it (was in good condition too!), but I don't know about the 87...
