    Gilsdorf's Long Road to Automotive-Nirvana

    Thanks JCF, I haven't parted her out yet. Still waiting on the house sale to close and then I have to build (or have built I should say) the extra garage(s) before I turly start the part out. I've put a few rare parts up for sale, but the market is pretty flat right now and there was little...

    Gilsdorf's Long Road to Automotive-Nirvana

    Thanks--I'm sure plenty of members upgrade or move on to some other project and the rest of the forum just doesn't know. I just bought an Akrapovic Ti exhaust for the GTR, installed the mid pipe and will be installing the full system later in the month, may do downpipes at the same time. Then...

    Gilsdorf's Long Road to Automotive-Nirvana

    Well after a long and very expensive road I've finally found auto nirvana . . . and it isn't in the Supra. I picked up a new ride over Easter and as soon as we have moved into the new house this fall I'm going to start parting out the Supra . . . unless someone wants to come up with $16,000...

    Blown head gasket, machinist recommendation?

    Close, but not totally correct. You have to add the stock HG thickness to the amounts removed also. Your machinist will ulitmately tell you the thickness you need after he machines (and laps if going MHG) both surfaces, but it is good to know. Don't just buy a head gasket because you...

    Blown head gasket, machinist recommendation?

    "The Engine Shop" in Longmont. They have worked on the 7m before and after mine.

    FFIM intercooler pipe routing pictures

    I grew up in Edmonton (southside!), moved Stateside in 1990's and don't miss the winters at all, still own a house in Belgravia though--so if I ever get a strong desire to freeze my nuts off I have a place to do it!

    FFIM intercooler pipe routing pictures

    The core is 12"x24"x3" with 3" inlets, I don't remember where I got it from but it wasn't expensive (probably a Yononka or other cheapie), not sure on the hp rating--I haven't reached it yet--but I'm unofficially@520whp.

    FFIM intercooler pipe routing pictures

    Ark, You'd definately have to relocate the battery and remove the tray (not a big issue and easily done to trunk or other) if you want to route the pipes that way. I personally believe it is the cleanest looking but makes for a very hard to remove IC to FFIM pipe, you could have a coupler in...

    Pics of your mk3 intercooler piping

    2.5" from turbo to IC, 3" from IC to FFIM. All polished stainless and now T-Bolt clamps throughout, only uses 4 silicone couplers total and IC to Manifold is very hard to remove from vehicle, so no other pictures until rebuild, paint job or part-out. IC and PC680 battery location...

    mk3s with turboA duct pics

    There is a build thread in my sig--some might be impressed, some might not. 9SecondRacing.com was a shop that did some tuning on my car, they put the windshield banner on while it was there--I haven't razored it off yet (I'm pretty sure they are out of business now).
