Good lord man, I thought some of the cars I had worked on were bad... that's just a nightmare. :nono: No wonder you've had all these problems...

Ahh... I love all the speculation here. Has anyone on here driven one? ...Didn't think so. Excitement is awesome, it's what keeps the enthusiast market alive and all, but we may love this car as is, never know. All it would take for me is a set of aggressive gears. I don't even want to be able...

You would be correct in assuming that here. Do they occasionally stop spinning at idle? That doesn't seem healthy to stop/start like that... so the exhaust is just blowing by the turbine without having any meaningful impact?

Haha, have fun with that. I put a Hello Kitty sticker on my back window just to add insult to injury for those dumb enough to rev at me on an empty road... it has a pink bow too. :p

That's too bad Jared about the Fluidyne and Koyo rads... I love my PWR, but fitment with a JZ is a bit tight concerning fans. 7m, no such worries. :)

Still crazy, and like Nash pointed out, he lives his life a quarter mile at a time. :p

Sorry, the southeast is the one part of the country I haven't been to. Unfortunately, enough of it comes to me... I swear, is it really so hard to enunciate when you speak?

As an owner of a handful of lightweight rwd old school Toyotas, and 2 Miatas, I can say with certainty that I look forward to this car. For the money, I'll likely be buying an NSX if I don't change my mind within two years, but if I HAD to buy a new car, this would be the one.

If a turbo EVER stops when the engine is running, you have a problem. That said, on the high boost pressure without hitting fuel cut, that would depend on a couple factors, the MAP sensor you have being key to my knowledge. Fuel cut on a 1j is based on the map sensor, correct? If you put a...

No worries Andy, it came from Albert's recommendation for my car, he knows my driving style. I wasn't wanting a giant lag monster, gonna need some quicker spool to spin the meats that are going on my car. ;) Should be *enough* for me I think. I'll let you know if I get to it before you do.

This. Might be alright for handling purposes, but try putting any sort of power through those, and nothing productive is going to happen... What I wouldn't give for some 345-355/35/17's though. :love:

Funny, I've never heard that one... surprised you have with that setup. Friends must have some fast cars...

If I were buying an aftermarket radiator for our cars, I would stick to either PWR (if you have the space, on a 7m you do), or Koyo. A bit pricey, but so is an overheated engine...

Congrats man, enjoy! :)

7m's are a cakewalk to get to the filter on... try a 1j swapped into a LHD car sometime, you'll see. ;) Best place I found to get it from on a 7m was from behind the turbo side's motor mount. Should have a pretty clear shot from there, unless you have a different kind of manifold that we don't...

Still waiting on delivery on these hoods from Central Composites, but they look nice so far. :) To be honest though, if you're doing it for "cowl induction" reasons, I think you're wasting your time. ;)

You know, the thing I love most about my coilovers is the fact that I CAN adjust them pretty much how I want. I can tuck tire, drive around the main 3 roads in town for a day, then spend an hour or so getting it back up to "real world" ride height. Where I used to work, they plowed the lot, it...

I don't think there is a shoehorn big enough to pull that off... On topic, your friend on the bike is insane for riding without a helmet, especially with a passenger... just plain crazy, but I suppose that's their choice to make.

Beautiful man, just beautiful... that thing sounds as good as a 7m! :D
