    What recession? (vendor customer service rant)

    Over the last two weeks I've put in a number of inquires to various vendors on what I consider decent-sized purchases ($500-$1500 -- orders I would have bent over backwards to take when I was working at HPF). I've been amazed that during this economic downturn, so many of them have flat-out...

    Looking for my old car (Battleground, WA)

    Just curious if anyone has seen my old silver car (in my avatar). I'd be interested in buying it back provided it hasn't been demolished by now... I sold it to a kid in Vancouver WA who almost immediately went into the military and his parents sold it to "some guy in battleground who was into...

    PTE 5557 billet in a 7m bolt-on housing?

    So I've talked to Jack @ Suprasport and Larry @ SP -- both said it should be possible to use the new PTE billet wheels in the MK3 bolt-on turbos. These apparently are quite a big improvement over the old wheels -- not because billet is a magical process, but because they happen to have much...

    3rd time is the charm... MA71's 87T hardtop restomod

    This won't be a crazy build, ultimately I'm looking for a nice reliable driver that puts out 400-450rwhp on 91octane and handles well enough for me to challenge the fastest street-driven cars on lapping days. Tomorrow the work begins in earnest, but I figure I'll post my plans now. When...

    Does anyone make replacement high pressure lines?

    Toyota charges $300+ for the powersteering line (more than a new steering rack!), $200+ for the main fuel line and I think ~$100 for the short line going to the cold start injector. Are that many people still running the original 25-year old soft fuel lines? PS how about an aftermaket oil...

    I'm back...

    Most of you probably have no idea who I am, but it's been 4 years since I sold my silver '87t hardtop, and now that I'm out of school its time to feed the addition again! I just picked up another 87T hardtop -- this one white with a sunroof and dark blue interior (yay not burgundy -- sorry...

    Supra Head Flow (5M,7M,1JZ,2JZGE,2JZGTE)

    Stock heads: Ported: Note -- I need good data on the 1JZ. The current graph is an approximation based on the idea that the 1JZ flows 90% of the 2JZGTE intake, and 88% of the 2JZGTE exhaust. I got this data from a post by Erin Carpenter on Supraforums where he tested a stock 1JZ intake...

    Straightening warped heads and annealing

    I didn't want to further hijack HKS_TRD's build thread ( http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68023 ) so I'll try to move the discussion here. When your car overheats, there is a good chance the cylinder head will warp. This generally happens because of uneven temperatures across...

    7m valvetrain weight

    Saw this posted on celicasupra and thought this would be good info to have in the SM archives... Cliffs: BC 1mm oversized valves are ~1gram lighter each (~24 grams lighter for set) BC springs/retainers are ~8 grams lighter each (~192 grams lighter for the set) So the 1mm oversized BC...

    Wouldn't it be nice to pass smog without visual inspection?

    It is a longshot, but I've sent letters to my representatives outlining my idea and if you agree, I'd encourage you to do the same. The program: Waive the visual portion of smog checks if the vehicle's actual tailpipe emissions are less than half of the maximum allowed for an unmodified car...

    Amazing accoustic guitar

    So I was linked to a random drifting video on youtube and on the side it had a list of related videos, one of which said "Andy Mckee Drifting." When I was competitively autocrossing my old MR2 10 years ago, Andy Mckee was probably the best driver out there (he was a national champion from the...

    Calculus whizzes -- got a question...

    I've got a cute problem: A car starts from rest and moves along a straight line with an acceleration of a = 3* s^(-1/3) (m/s^2) where s is in meters. Determine the car's velocity and position when t = 6 s. Ok, so here's what I've done: v dv = a ds { v dv = 3 { s^(-1/3) ds { = integral...

    Norcal: 88na Auto forsale

    Here's the story on this guy. I saw an add on Craigslist 2 months back for a Black Supra with a BHG. The previous owner had taken apart the intake piping, but pretty much stopped there. I picked it up figuring I could fix it over a weekend after finals were over and turn around and sell it...
